Main Points From Today’s Episode

 

  1. A high toxic load can trigger inflammation in your body. That can get in the way of your hormone receptors and interfere with weight loss.
  2. Obesogens are chemicals that can induce weight gain or cause weight loss resistance. Obesogens can make your fat cells expand and hold more fat, or they can tell your stem cells to become fat cells.
  3. Dry brushing your skin is a simple, inexpensive way to support your body’s natural ability to detoxify. By stimulating your lymphatic tissue, dry brushing helps move toxins out of your body.
