We expose ourselves to endocrine disruptors each and every day -- most of the time we aren’t even aware of it.

In this episode, I share with you six areas of concern for exposure to these toxins from within our very own homes. If we aren't conscious or careful, we run the risk of low-dosed and prolonged exposure that can negatively impact our health in the long run.

Episode Highlights:

• Everyday toxins we might not be aware of

• Endocrine Disruptors and where we can find them

• What we can do to lessen our exposure

Environmental impacts on our health are very real. Oftentimes we don’t even consider them as a reason for why we’re feeling sick, especially within our own homes.

Returning to the podcast is my friend, teacher, and mentor, Lara Adler, an Environmental Toxins expert and educator.

Lara joins me today to share her own personal story in dealing with mold.

Silent and unseen, mold can drastically affect your health especially when you have underlying conditions.

Lara goes into detail about her own struggle with mold, sharing:

• The signs and symptoms

• How she came to suspect and confirm mold exposure

• The steps she’s taken to remediate mold

• What’s worked, what hasn’t, and what life is like now

Lara also shares and provides context into what she’s learned through in-depth research.

You’ve probably heard about blue light, but just how much do you really know about it?

When it comes to weight and healthy living, toxins are a critical missing piece to the conversation that’s not talked about enough but can no longer be ignored.

In this episode, I discuss:

• What are obesogens

• The link between toxins and weight

• How unsuspecting items in your home may be interfering with or undermining the hard work you put into being fit and healthy

• Actionable steps you can do to reduce your exposure to obesogens

In this episode, I'm joined by returning guest, Melinda Mrachek Staehling, who previously appeared in Episode 041. This time, you’ll hear us discuss:

• What compelled her to embark on sobriety, especially given her successful career in the wine industry

• What’s “gray-area” drinking?

• What resources she found and relied on to help her on this journey
  

As a non-drinker, I found this conversation so insightful and educational for me, and I hope you do too!

In this episode, I’m joined by Lara Adler.
