Hidden toxins lurk in everyday products, increasing the risk of chronic diseases like cancer. These toxins aren’t just absorbed through the skin—they can also be present in the air we breathe and the water we drink daily. Understanding the impact of these chemicals and where they’re commonly found empowers us to make healthier choices, reduce exposure, and protect the well-being of ourselves and our families.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, we bring you a special compilation episode featuring conversations with experts on reducing toxic exposure from everyday household products.

Dr. Yvonne Burkart, a board-certified toxicologist, highlights the top sources of hidden toxins in products like cosmetics. She shares the latest research on toxin exposure, common toxic ingredients and where to find them, and her best tips for minimizing exposure and optimizing detoxification in the body.

Neurologist Dr. Ray Dorsey delves into the root causes of Parkinson’s disease, focusing on how environmental toxins like trichloroethylene (TCE) significantly increase the risk of developing it. He provides practical steps to limit exposure—especially early in life—and explains how lifestyle interventions can help reduce the likelihood of this disease.
