Description

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and InsideTracker.We’ve become exposed to a greater number of environmental toxins than ever before. Environmental toxins can feed cancer, interfere with glucose and cholesterol metabolism, and induce insulin resistance and obesity through multiple mechanisms, including inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial injury, altered thyroid metabolism, and impaired central appetite regulation. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, we’re talking about how environmental toxins impact our health, the top endocrine-disrupting toxins, and my strategies for reducing your exposure. I also share which foods you should be sure to buy organic.This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and InsideTracker.Rupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine practitioners can access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from over 35 labs like DUTCH, Vibrant America, Genova, and Great Plains.

We are seeing an ever-increasing burden of chronic disease, primarily driven by our food and food system. This is perpetuated by agricultural, food and health care policies that don’t support health. We need to rethink disease and reimagine a food system and a health care system the protects health, unburdens the economy from the weight of obesity and chronic disease, protects the environment, helps reverse climate change and creates a nation of healthy children and citizens. This podcast is a place for deep conversations about the critical issues of our time in the space of health, wellness, food and politics. New episodes are released every Wednesday morning.
