Your Longevity Blueprint

137: Ask Me Anything 2023


Listen Later

You get to hear from me today! I get asked many different questions in my daily patient appointments, so I thought it a good idea to answer some of those in today’s show. I talk about the importance of eating organic, using clean personal care products, and if hormones cause cancer. I also discuss the relationship between toxins, weight gain, and hormone imbalances and how we should eat daily.

Three things to avoid for losing weight and optimizing hormones:

  1. Plastic
  2. Fragrances
  3. Dairy
