Summary

Have you ever wondered if that lemon fresh cleaner under your sink, laundry detergent, that Febreze, or even the lotion we put on in the morning could be quietly wrecking our hormones?

Jared St. Clair, owner of Vitality Nutrition and host of Vitality Radio, shares his insights on the supplement industry. He describes how chemicals disrupt hormones in products and the environment. These chemicals mimic hormones and block cell receptors, leading to reduced hormone levels, like testosterone, for men and women. Jared states that hormone increase without clearing blockages causes issues. He suggests a two-part process: detoxifying the liver, then cleansing the endocrine system with indole-3 carbonyl, DIM, and calcium deglucrate. This method supports the body's hormone function.

Key Takeaways

Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs): Many daily products (cleaners, detergents, beauty products, scented items, nonstick cookware) and environmental factors contain EDCs that mimic natural hormones and block cell receptors, causing hormonal imbalance.
Impact on Hormones: EDCs lead to cellular confusion, reduce natural hormone production (e.g., significant drops in testosterone levels over decades for men), and impair hormone message delivery, affecting muscle building, fat loss, libido, and well-being.
Detoxification Strategy: It is essential to detoxify the endocrine system rather than just boost hormones.
Two-Phase Detox Process:

Liver Detox: Perform a 30-60 day liver detox to help metabolize and eliminate toxins, ensuring healthy bowel movements and hydration. Tylenol is a significant liver stressor; natural alternatives or daily gentle liver support (NAC, dandelion root) are recommended.
Endocrine Detox: Follow with 3-4 months of endocrine system cleansing using phytochemicals like indole-3 carbonyl (I3C), DIM, and calcium deglucrate to unlock blocked cell receptors.

Incremental Lifestyle Changes: Replace chemical-laden products (scented items, nonstick cookware, plastic) with natural alternatives (vinegar, water, lemon oil, baking soda, borax, ecloths, wood utensils) incrementally to avoid overwhelm.
Jared's Recommendations: Jared suggests a personal detox schedule of one-month liver detox twice a year (January/February and July/August), combined with a couple of months of endocrine detox, potentially increasing to three months on, three months off. He also recommends using aluminum-free baking soda for supplementation (Rumford brand).
Industry Background: Jared's family business, Vitality Nutrition, started in 1977, highlighting his deep roots and long experience in the health and supplement industry.

0:00.0	Have you ever wondered at that lemon fresh cleaner under your sink, laundry detergent,
0:04.4	the frieze, or even the lotion we put on in the morning to be quietly wrecking our hormones?
0:09.9	The truth is, a lot of those everyday products, we're filling our bodies with endocrine
0:13.4	disruptors, chemicals that throw off our testosterone, our estrogen, thyroid, even cortisol.
0:18.4	And it's not just at home stuff.
0:19.4	If you're outside breathing in air, you're probably still getting some level of toxicity.
0:25.8	And the frustrating part is that when your hormones are out of balance, adding in more,
0:29.3	even more effort doesn't solve the issue.
0:31.3	You lift heavier, you run farther, you eat cleaner, but until you remove that natural
0:34.8	roadblock that's blocking your hormone function, your energy,
0:38.6	sleep, and fat loss will stay stuck in neutral. That's why a lot of testosterone boosters don't work
0:43.6	because they're not removing the thing that's keeping your testosterone from actually getting
0:47.4	absorbed into your cells. Today we're going to be breaking down to what some of these hormone
0:50.7	wrecking chemicals are where they're hiding in our cleaning supplies, detergents, beauty products, scented air fresheners, et cetera. And then what we can actually do to detox them from our daily routine so our body can finally work a little bit better? And what we can do about the stuff that we can't necessarily get out of our daily routine, the toxins that are just surrounding us all the time in the air, water, etc., living in industrial country. I think this is going to be a really interesting episode. I had a lot of fun recording this one. Welcome to Get Leener and Live Longer with Nate Palmer, show for busy people who want to maximize their energy, burn fat, and build a body that feels as good as it looks. I'm your host, Nate. I'm a coach since 2008. I believe that looking great and feeling unstoppable doesn't require hours in the gym or giving up all the foods that you love.
1:43.1	This shows where I share real strategies that help you get leaner, live longer, and unlock your million dollar body. So if you're ready to cut the noise, take control of your health, finally feel like a high performer again, let's do this. Jared, welcome to get leaner and live longer. So glad to have you here. This is going to be fun.
1:46.7	I'm excited to be here and especially excited to talk about this topic.
1:47.6	We're going to have a good time.
2:34.7	Yeah. get leaner and live longer. So glad to have you here. This is going to be fun. I'm excited to be here and especially excited to talk about this topic. We're going to have a good time. Yeah, I've been really excited to talk a little bit more about toxicity and detoxification. And like, is that possible and how we go about that? But for people who are not aware of you or vitality nutrition or even the nutrition shop, which your parents started back in 77, could you give us a little background on who you are and how you came to be in the position you're in right now? Yeah, you bet. I grew up in a health food store quite literally. My parents opened the store that I'm standing in now, recording this 48 years ago. We've been in a few locations since then, but the same shop. As you said, it started out as called Nutrition Shop. And this is in 1977 when it wasn't a smart idea to open up a health food store. This, you know, people were... Very French. Not, yeah, not very into this stuff. You know, there was no such thing as Whole Foods or any of these other places back then. Organic was barely a word.
2:37.1	People even understood what that might mean.
2:39.8	So it was very much a passion project.
2:42.0	It was always a side hustle for my dad.
2:45.5	He actually always had a full-time job that he did to support the family. Also in the nutrition industry, he worked for supplement companies and then owned his own
