Did you know that newborn babies are born with 200+ chemical toxins in their bodies? Or that polar bears often have off-the-charts levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) despite living in remote areas? We live in a pollute word: our water, air, and food supplies filled with toxins and end in our body and can lead to scores of health problems. Cancer is obviously the biggest risk, but hormonal imbalances are the more immediate threat—and they contribute to everything from PMS and polycystic ovarian syndrome to infertility and erectile dysfunction.
------------
Listen & Learn:
- Why anything that stands in the way of optimal health should be considered a "toxin"
- Top 7 Toxins: food quality, emotional baggage, toxic thoughts, movement, dishonesty, poor sleep, loneliness
- How there are 80,000 chemicals on earth, 700 in most adult bodies, and 200+ in most infants
- Why POPs (persistent organic pollutants) are a lingering "forever" problem
