Food, We Need To Talk

The Toxins You’re Exposed to (Without Knowing It)


Listen Later

In this episode, we continue our conversation about how your environment might be shaping your health with Dr. Gary Miller, professor of environmental health at Columbia University. We go deeper into the exposome — including how social factors, housing, air quality, and even stress leave measurable chemical fingerprints in your body. Dr. Miller explains what doctors don’t yet test for, why personal exposure testing isn’t quite ready for prime time, and what actually helps reduce risk right now. We also get practical (and honest) about masks, gas stoves, moldy apartments, self-tanner, makeup, and heating food in plastic. If you’ve ever wondered how much control you really have over your exposures — and what’s worth changing — this bonus episode is for you.
