Dr. Vivian Chen, a passionate advocate for recognizing the impact of environmental toxins on health, has a rich background in medicine, specializing in internal medicine and family medicine.

Her journey into environmental health was personal, driven by her daughter's health challenges which were linked to dietary allergies and, she suspects, environmental toxins. This personal experience shifted her focus towards environmental toxins and their broader implications on

health. In the podcast, Dr. Chen discusses the pervasive issue of aluminum exposure through everyday items like cookware and antacids, highlighting its potential to cause oxidative stress and DNA damage at the cellular level. She notes the broader health implications, such as increased risks

of chronic diseases like Alzheimer's.

The conversation extends to endocrine disruptors and

obesogens, chemicals that interfere with hormonal activities and metabolic processes, emphasizing their significant yet underacknowledged impact on health.
