Description

What if the biggest threat to your health is not the obvious culprits like junk food or lack of exercise, but rather, invisible enemies lurking in your everyday environment? Harmful substances such as xenoestrogens, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and PFAS (aka forever chemicals) are surprisingly found in your personal care products, your food, and even the clothes you wear. The health implications of these toxins can be severe, and their effects can stay dormant, leading to long-term health risks.   In this episode of the Primal Shift podcast, host Michael Kummer unveils the invisible toxins found in everyday life along with strategies for reducing toxin exposure and creating a healthier living environment. Learn about the importance of filtering tap water, the hazards in everyday items like cookware and synthetic clothing, and the benefits of using safer alternatives.   What we discuss: 0:05:55 - Toxins in Cookware and Personal Care 0:13:49 - Filter Tap Water, Avoid Plastic Bottles 0:14:05 - Tips for Avoiding Endocrine Disruptors 0:19:46 - Avoiding Chemicals in Food 0:25:53 - Birth Control and Health Awareness   Key Takeaways: Environmental toxins, such as xenoestrogens, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and PFAS (aka forever chemicals), can be found in everyday products, such as personal care products, cookware, and even food. These toxins can lead to severe health implications, often lying dormant and leading to long-term health risks. Xenoestrogens mimic the hormone estrogen, disrupting the body's natural hormone balance and potentially leading to health issues such as cancer, metabolic dysfunction, and fertility problems. Practical strategies to reduce exposure to xenoestrogens are discussed, including filtering tap water, avoiding plastic food containers, and choosing personal care products and clothing free from harmful chemicals. Hormonal birth control, by its very nature, disrupts the endocrine system and can have a variety of negative health impacts. It is suggested that alternative methods for controlling fertility should be explored, such as monitoring body temperature and tracking menstrual cycles.   Links:  Non-Toxic Product PDF: https://michaelkummer.com/non-toxic-products/ How Xenoestrogens Make You Infertile and Sick: https://michaelkummer.com/health/xenoestrogens/ Radiant Life Whole House Water Filtration System Review: https://michaelkummer.com/health/radiant-life-whole-house-review/  HypoAir BiPolar Review: The Best Whole House Air Purifier: https://michaelkummer.com/health/hypoair-review/   Learn more from Michael Kummer: Use code “primalshift” to save 15% on your order at https://shop.michaelkummer.com/ Website: https://michaelkummer.com/ Instagram: @mkummer82
