Toxins Are Everywhere Here's Why You Need to Know

Toxins are an unavoidable part of our environment, which is why this week, I’m taking another deep dive into where these insidious health threats hide and how you can steer clear of them. As we wrap up this empowering series, don’t miss the opportunity to join Tammy Gutierrez, MD, Functional Medicine doctor, and me at our FREE Detox Masterclass this Wednesday, April 24th at Noon or 6:30 PM EST.

Estimates are that the average person gets exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals each day, from perfume to cosmetics, plastic water bottles to cleaning products, mattresses to cookware, and so much more. This is not good for your health. In fact, health problems stemming from excessive toxic buildup in your body?can cause?unusual weight gain or loss, cognitive issues, insomnia, persistent headaches, mood swings, irritability, constipation, diarrhea, hair loss, puffy dark circles under the eyes, body odor, allergies, aches, pains, skin problems, fatigue, cancer and more.

?? Toxins in Your Home

??Personal Care Products: Your shampoo, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, bug repellent, lotions and potions often contain parabens and phthalates and other chemicals which disrupt hormonal balance and can be carcinogenic (cancer causing).?

???Cleaning Supplies: Many cleaners are loaded with VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and other chemicals that can impair lung function and irritate the skin.

????Decor: Wall coverings, bedding, textiles, carpet, and paint can contain toxic chemicals that continually off-gas, potentially causing severe skin problems, digestive problems and cancer.?

??Action Steps: Opt for natural or organic, fragrance-free products, and use simple ingredients like vinegar and baking soda for safer cleaning. Houseplants can help clean the air.

?? Toxins in Your Food

???Pesticides on Produce: These chemicals can affect neurological health, increase cancer risk, cause headaches, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer's, depression, anxiety and more.

???Additives in Processed Foods:?The excessive consumption of ultra-processed foods — manufactured with industrial flavors and chemical additives — has been linked to more than 30 health conditions including?inflammation and chronic health issues.??

???Action Steps: Thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables, choose organic and minimally processed foods whenever possible, and become a label sleuth.

?? Environmental Toxins

?? Air Pollution: Pollutants like particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide can lead to respiratory problems and cardiovascular disease.?Nitrogen dioxide forms when fossil fuels such as coal, oil, methane gas (natural gas) or diesel are burned at high temperatures.

?? Contaminated Water: Heavy metals and industrial chemicals in water supplies can affect brain development and weaken immune systems.

?? Action Steps: Opt for organic foods and home goods, use air and water filters, and support your body's natural detox processes through hydration, exercise, and sufficient sleep.

?? Detox Supplements Explained

You can enhance your body’s natural defenses against toxins with key supplements including:

?? Milk Thistle & ?? Turmeric: Support liver health and reduce inflammation.

?? Spirulina & ?? Chlorella: Effective in removing heavy metals and boosting detoxification.

?? Ginseng & ?? N-Acetylcysteine (NAC): Boost energy and cognitive function while enhancing cellular health.?N-acetylcysteine (NAC)?provides crucial support for the production of glutathione, a key antioxidant in detox processes, helping to eliminate harmful substances and boost cognitive function.

???Action Steps:?Pair supplements with a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and adequate hydration to maximize detoxification benefits. Curious about how these supplements can be tailored to your needs? Enroll in our Detox Masterclass and Workshop where you will get the expert guidance you need.
