You're listening to The Digest This Podcast, and I'm your host, Bethany Cameron.

There's a lot of talk about lead and heavy metals in protein powder, in chocolate, in the foods we eat.

And surprise, surprise, there's actually more heavy metals and lead in produce and things grown in the

ground, root vegetables, sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, spinach, like, but they're not talking about

it because guess what? You can't patent those things. It's not like a formulation. Like,

it's not branded, right? is produce and it's also it's

also going to be different from sweet potato to sweet potato right because it's grown in the ground and

these these minerals they're essentially minerals they are in the soil but you can definitely have

too much of it obviously lead and other types of heavy metals, cadmium, et cetera, not good for you.

But it's in the ground.

And so if it's grown in the ground, it's going to have some type of heavy metal content.

So today I want to talk about how we can mitigate that, how we can detox, not just like full on detox,

but every day, right? We can implement these different tips and strategies so that if we are,

because I mean, let's get real, we want to eat a whole foods diet, right? So if we're eating

things that are grown in the ground, it's whole foods,

it's great, but we also want to be detoxing in the right way. And we are bombarded with these

chemicals and toxins from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the where we go, the gas in the air,

just the environment, and all of the things.

And so our bodies can do so much naturally to detox.

And we really need to implement these tips that I'm going to share to help our bodies detox a little bit more.

Especially if we are experiencing some heavy metal toxic symptoms, which I'm also going to share in case you do want to be aware and be on the lookout of what to know if you are experiencing heavy metal exposure.

Can we be honest about the holidays?
