Episode Description
You might think liver damage comes from alcohol or sugar. But a new USC study reveals the real threat could be hanging in your closet.
If you dry clean your clothes even once or twice a month, you're exposing yourself to Perchloroethylene (PCE)—a toxic solvent now strongly linked to liver fibrosis, brain fog, cancer, and even Parkinson's disease.
This isn't just a factory worker problem. For many people, routine dry cleaning is the hidden environmental exposure driving chronic health issues no doctor can explain.
PCE doesn't just disappear after cleaning. It off-gasses into your home, absorbs through your skin, and accumulates in your liver and nervous system. And the majority of dry cleaners still use it.
Without asking the right questions, you have no idea what chemicals are saturating the fabrics touching your body every single day. And your liver, brain, and nervous system are paying the price.
In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez breaks down the USC Keck study and reveals how to protect yourself from this silent toxin:
• Why dry cleaning increases your odds of liver fibrosis by 3X
• The neurotoxic chemical triggering brain fog, headaches, and nervous system dysregulation
• The Cancer and Parkinson's link researchers are now confirming
• The exact 3 questions to ask your dry cleaner today to protect your family
• The PFAS trap hiding in stain-proof and wrinkle-free fabrics (forever chemicals that never leave your body)
• How PCE contaminates local groundwater and creates toxic exposure for entire communities
This episode goes beyond your closet. It's a wake-up call about the pervasive, invisible toxins lurking in everyday life—and how to take action now to protect your liver, stabilize your nervous system, and reclaim your health.
