Debunking Wellness Myths: Which "Toxins" Are Real & Which Are BS

Reposting one of my favorite episodes! Do you know what the major sources of microplastics are in your home? Should you actually throw out your plastic cutting board? Are you ingesting heavy metals without even knowing it? Is your microwave hurting you?

I’m joined by Dr. Vivian Chen to get real answers about the toxins we're all a little worried about—microplastics, heavy metals, EMFs, PFAS, forever chemicals, water filtration, red light therapy, and the health myths worth knowing (and the ones you can let go of). If it's a toxin you're afraid of, we're getting into it.

🎧 What you'll learn:

Why fiber might be your body's best defense against the microplastics you can't avoid

The exact question to ask before buying a water filter (it's not "which one is best")

Why your "healthy" non-stick pan might not be as safe as the brand claims

The dosing mistake that means most red light therapy devices are doing NOTHING

Why microwaving food in plastic is far riskier than cutting on a plastic board

The 3-step hierarchy for actually lowering your PFAS exposure (toilet paper isn't on it)
