239: Part 2 - How to Clean Your Toxic Tap Water - with Helen Christoni
ReversABLE
Remineralizing RO water and electrolyte tips
Helen explains remineralization options, AquaTru pH filter, and adding trace mineral drops or salt.
As health nuts, we obsess over calories, chemicals and sunlight, but we rarely think about two things we consume more than anything else on earth: air and water.
This is Part 2 of a two part series on clean air and clean water, and it may change how you look at every glass you drink, every meal you cook, and every shower you take.
Because our modern water is no longer natural. Municipal/city water systems disinfect water just enough to prevent infectious disease, but not enough to protect you from heavy metals, forever chemicals (PFAS), pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, microplastics, and industrial runoff. Add aging infrastructure, lead pipes, agricultural contamination, and chemical disinfectants like chlorine and chloramines, and what reaches your tap is often far from clean.
Even worse, contaminants don't boil out - meaning the water you cook with can concentrate toxins rather than remove them. And because your skin is your largest organ, you're absorbing these chemicals not just when you drink water, but when you shower and bathe.
In other words, we no longer live in environments our biology was designed for. We drink, cook, and bathe in chemically treated water, and then wonder why inflammation, hormone disruption, fertility issues, neurological disease, and chronic illness are exploding.
This episode breaks down what's actually in your water, where it comes from, why the system is broken, and what you can realistically do about it
