The toxins that we encounter every day can have extremely harmful effects on our health and body. However, toxins are not something that we can avoid completely, as we are born with toxicity in our bodies and they are too common to buffer ourselves from in normal life. Thus we need to find the best ways to eliminate these harmful presences as much as possible. Toxins can disrupt the endocrine system, creating hormone imbalances and a multitude of persistent issues for us in the long term. In this episode, Dr. Minni runs through a number of the common groups of toxins that we are exposed to and talks about where they are often found. Following that, some simple practices for better elimination are considered, from diet and water intake to avoiding dairy and getting better sleep. These measures are guaranteed to give your system a boost, so make sure to listen in with us today!
