Summary

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.
