    Navigating the Toxins Hiding in Plain Sight

    Navigating the Toxins Hiding in Plain Sight

    It's without question that environmental toxins are wreaking havoc on our health today. The prevalence of these toxins is posing a significant threat to public health, affecting everything from childhood development to adult chronic illnesses. A toxic environment and inflammation may even play a role in cancer. Fine-particulate air pollution present in the air we inhale daily can incite an inflammatory cascade and spur previously dormant mutant cells to form tumors.
    Our guest, Dr. Tom O'Bryan, a renowned functional medicine expert in environmental medicine and a leading voice in the field of holistic health and wellness and the author of You Can Fix Your Brain and The Autoimmune Fix, guides us through understanding the unseen threats in our everyday environment while offering practical solutions for safeguarding the health of our families – especially our children.
     
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    1.    Some of the most common environmental toxins affecting family health today
    2.    How toxins impact children's health and development
    3.    The long-term health implications of early exposure to toxins
    4.    Some common misconceptions about environmental toxins and health
    5.    Why functional medicine is particularly well-suited to treating toxin exposure
    6.    Strategies for reducing exposure to environmental toxins at home
    7.    The role nutrition plays in combating the effects of environmental toxins
     
    You can learn more about Dr. Tom at https://thedr.com/ (how simple is that?). His new docuseries THE INFLAMMATION EQUATION: Decoding the Steps for Optimal is available to stream and we’ll be sure to put the link to that in the show notes.

    For some people, they feel anxious when something isn’t done or they find themselves fighting irrational or unwanted urges to repeat these tasks. These are symptoms of OCD, or Obsessive-compulsive disorder; a chronic anxiety disorder where a person experiences unreasonable, uncontrollable, or recurring thoughts followed by a behavioral response that causes anxiety. Today, OCD affects 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children in the U.S.

Through his journey to recovery, he developed a versatile and unique approach to OCD & anxiety recovery by combining personal experience with evidence-based practices.

I love this podcast! And Ron & Lisa

This is a super fun and informative podcast. I learn so much every episode and enjoy a few laughs too. Ron and Lisa are brilliant hosts and communicators, and their passion for health and environment is deeply felt. Thank you Ron & Lisa for all you do and share. Your book, Just Green It, is a staple read for every homeowner, and my kids love your whimsical yet poignant children’s book “My Body My House”. You guys rock!

A wealth of knowledge. Great show. Great people. Highly recommended!

I was fortunate to be invited as a guest on this podcast with Ron and Lisa, back in August, to discuss mold and mold testing. Not only was it a lot of fun, but I was impressed with the wealth of knowledge they possess, including in my area of expertise. I think next time I do a podcast with them, I’ll be the one doing the interviewing! Great show. Great people. Highly recommended!
