episode, I talk with Ken Cook, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, and Maggie Ward
about toxin exposures all around us and how to remove toxins from
our bodies. Ken Cook is the president and co-founder of the
Environmental Working Group (EWG). He is widely recognized as one
of the environmental community’s most prominent and influential
critics of industrial agriculture and the nation’s broken approach
to protecting families and children from toxic substances. Under
Cook’s leadership, the EWG has pioneered the use of digital
technologies to empower American families with easy-to-use,
science-driven tools to help reduce their exposure to potentially
harmful ingredients in food, drinking water, cosmetics, and other
household products. Capitol Hill’s closely read newspaper The Hill
regularly lists Cook in its annual roster of Washington’s top
lobbyists, writing that Cook’s “influence spans the country” and
calling EWG “the tip of the green movement’s spear.” Dr. Elizabeth
Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional
Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her
practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve
their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power
of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training
other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Maggie Ward, MS,
RD, LDN, is the Nutrition Director at The UltraWellness Center.
Maggie holds a master’s degree in Nutrition from Bastyr University
which focuses on using whole foods for holistic Nutrition Therapy.
In addition, she completed her requirements to become a registered
dietitian at Westchester Medical Center in NY. Prior to joining The
UltraWellness Center team in 2008, Maggie worked at The Brooklyn
Hospital Center in New York providing nutrition counseling to
children and families dealing with HIV. She also taught at the
Jewish Community Center in Manhattan and other sites throughout New
York City, teaching nutritionally focused cooking classes for
children and adults. Much of her focus is on food allergies,
digestive disorders, inflammatory conditions, pediatrics, and
sports nutrition. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and
