    How Emotional Toxicity and Trauma Impact Your Weight & Health With Dr. Regan Tilley

    What if your chronic health struggles aren’t just physical but rooted in unresolved childhood trauma and emotional patterns you’ve carried for decades? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Regan Tilley to explore the deep connection between childhood trauma, emotional toxicity, and physical health outcomes like obesity and chronic illness.  Dr. Regan shares her powerful story of growing up in a challenging environment shaped by abuse, instability, and emotional stress, and how those early experiences influenced her health, mindset, and lifelong healing journey. We dive into the concept of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and how they can shape everything from weight regulation to emotional resilience.  One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is our discussion around anger, boundaries, and self-responsibility. We also talk about rapid transformational therapy (RTT) and the importance of stepping into self-awareness and accountability to truly break generational cycles. This episode is ultimately about hope—how healing is possible when we begin to understand the emotional roots of disease, take ownership of our inner world, and commit to changing patterns that no longer serve us. “Everything that I've experienced has been a lesson for me to learn and grow from. So I take all of this as lessons on how I can further improve myself so that I can help other people." ~ Dr. Regan Tilley Connect with Dr. Regan Tilley: - Website - https://wholehealthmhk.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/  - Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/  - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

    How Environmental Toxins and Plastics Are Driving Chronic Illness with Dr. Miles Nichols

    What if the plastic in your clothes, water, and air is already inside your brain and driving disease without you knowing it? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Miles Nichols, a functional medicine doctor, to break down one of the most urgent health threats of our time. We discuss how plastics, nanoplastics, and chemical exposures are accumulating in our bodies and what that means for long-term health, inflammation, and disease risk. We look into studies linking higher microplastic load to dementia, cardiovascular disease, infertility, and neuroinflammation, and what this means for the rising rates of chronic illness today. Dr. Miles explains advanced testing, like transcriptomics, and how gene expression patterns can reveal early signs of conditions like Parkinson’s long before symptoms appear. Finally, we talk about practical solutions to reduce exposure and lower the overall toxic burden. This episode is empowering. The goal isn’t perfection, but awareness and consistent reduction of exposure. “Oftentimes, the body starts to naturally heal when the conditions are right for that. And so a lot of the work in the clinic is to make sure that we're reducing enough of the obstacles that prevent the body from doing what it naturally does so well." ~ Dr. Miles Nichols Resources: - True Cellular Formulas CytoDetox: Supports Cellular Detox & Natural Toxin Removal - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2 Connect with Dr. Miles Nichols: - Website - https://drmilesnichols.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/  - Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/  - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

    Toxic Skincare and the Truth About Clean Beauty With Marisol Teijeiro

    What if the products you use every day to look better are actually making you age faster? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, founder of Queen of the Thrones, to discuss one of the most overlooked sources of toxicity in our lives: our skincare and beauty products.  Dr. Marisol shares her journey from beauty pageants to becoming a naturopathic doctor and clean beauty advocate, after realizing how many everyday products were loaded with hidden chemicals that impact long-term health. We dive into the reality of greenwashing in the beauty industry, and how common items like moisturizers, makeup removers, nail products, and fragrances can contribute to hormone disruption, premature aging, and cellular damage. Most importantly, we talk about simple swaps like switching to castor oil, using minimal-ingredient skincare, and paying attention to how your body reacts to products.

    The Real Cause of Heart Attacks Isn’t What You Think

    What if everything you thought you knew about preventing heart attacks was wrong and the real solution isn’t a pill or stent, but a non-toxic, holistic approach? In this episode, I sit down with Diamond Fernandes, an expert in heart health and founder of Heart Fit Clinic, to tackle one of the biggest health concerns today. We break down the conventional approach to heart care and why so many people are misdiagnosed or overtreated with stents, bypasses, and medications. Diamond shares a non-toxic perspective, explaining how mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and inflammation are the true drivers of heart attacks, not just cholesterol. We explore the three pillars of heart health: electrical function, structural integrity, and arterial health. Diamond walks us through the science behind healthy arteries, angiogenesis (how arteries can regrow), and the impact of lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset on long-term cardiovascular outcomes.  For anyone who feels confused by conflicting heart health advice or overwhelmed by medications and procedures, this conversation provides hope and practical tips for cardiovascular wellness. “Heart attacks occur when you end up with mitochondrial dysfunction...You can have a heart attack and have completely normal coronaries." ~ Diamond Fernandes Resources: - True Cellular Formulas CytoDetox: Supports Cellular Detox & Natural Toxin Removal - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2 - Books by Diamond Fernandes - https://heartfitclinic.com/products/ Connect with Diamond Fernandes: - Website - https://heartfitclinic.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/  - Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/  - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

    The Shocking Truth About The Fabrics You Wear

    Did you know that there are unseen dangers in our clothing? In this episode, I discuss the hidden toxins lurking in everyday fabrics. Even clothing labeled as organic can contain plastics, dyes, and chemical coatings that are absorbed through the skin or inhaled as microplastics. We explore how polyester, rayon, and petroleum-based fabrics impact the body, disrupt the skin microbiome, and even affect fertility. I dive into the impact of the fast fashion industry, how marketing manipulates us into buying highly toxic fabrics, and why profit often comes before health. Even your sheets and everyday T-shirts may be contributing to hormone disruption, inflammation, and oxidative stress. I also highlight safer alternatives, like certified organic cotton and naturally dyed fabrics, and explain why simplifying your wardrobe can reduce exposure to these hidden toxins. If you’ve ever wondered why skin irritation and allergies persist, this episode will help you make informed decisions that could prevent that. “Your skin is like a mouth. Whatever you put on your skin goes in your body." ~ Warren Phillips In This Episode:  00:00 - Introduction 00:55 - Toxic chemicals in clothing and textiles 02:07 - Fashion marketing drives harmful choices 03:39 - Microplastics from clothing and laundry 05:12 - Chemical load in cotton fabrics 06:32 - Bamboo and rayon: processed and toxic 09:27 - Detergents, fragrances, and wash chemicals 12:04 - The link between polyester undergarments and male fertility 13:45 - Solutions: choose organic, simplify, reduce exposure Resources: - AIZOME Bedding & Basics  - https://aizome-textiles.com/ - Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading certification for textiles made with organic fibers - https://global-standard.org/ - OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 is a label for textiles tested for harmful substances.
