In this episode I tackle a topic that I’ve wanted to learn more about for a while and that is why some of us feel terrible (including flu like symptoms, fatigue, mental fog, headaches) after swimming in or even just being around indoor swimming pools. Logically it would seem that there’s something affecting our bodies in a negative and possibly damaging way and thus I also wanted to be better informed of the possible implications for our son.

So have a listen to learn what I discovered surrounding the effect of swimming pool chemicals on our health and wellbeing and what we can do to combat the negatives.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• Why chlorination is the most popular method for disinfecting swimming pools
• What Disinfection By Products (DBPs) are
• Why indoor chlorinated pools may not be the best thing for asthmatics
• How swimming indoors can negatively affect male hormones
• Pool chemicals that affect cells’ ability to make energy
• How to mitigate the possible harm being caused to our children from DBPs
• Specific foods and supplements that may mitigate pool chemical exposure
• Alternative pool sanitization systems to purely chlorine or bromine
• How to reduce chronic stress and feel energized.
