EP251: How to Overcome the Environmental Factors Plaguing Your Transformation Efforts with Dr. David Minkoff

Did you know there are things in the environment actively working against your healthy efforts? Chemicals in the water, estrogen coming from plastics, and additives in processed foods are all working against our body’s natural systems. And, on top of that many doctors prescribe medications that can exacerbate issues and even cause side gastrointestinal problems.

He is the co-founder of LifeWorks Wellness Center and the founder of BodyHealth Products.
