On 24 April 2026, the Society for Endocrinology marked World Hormone Day, highlighting the importance of hormones in health and well-being through collaboration and public education.
This included collaborative work with CHEM Trust to raise awareness of hormones and environmental influences, supporting shared aims around understanding hormone health. We took a deep dive into endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and how they have been linked to a range of health outcomes, including impacts on metabolism, development and hormone-related conditions. You can view the collaborative work on the ‘You and Your Hormones’ Instagram channel.
We also promoted trusted educational resources from ‘You and Your Hormones’, including our award-winning podcast, ‘Hormones: The Inside Story’, featuring expert discussions that explain hormone science in an accessible way. This focused on the episode looking at how EDCs have been linked with a number of health problems, as well as where these chemicals are found and whether we should be worried. You can find the video on Instagram.
Together, these activities helped reinforce the Society’s commitment to improving public understanding and making reliable information on hormones easy to access.
