In this week's Better podcast episode, we're revisiting an
enlightening conversation with Lara Adler about the insidious
world of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and their role in
driving obesity, often referred to as obesogens. These harmful
toxins lurk in our everyday lives, from personal care products to
plastics and phthalates.
Following up on our recent episodes featuring Dr. Shanna Swan,
renowned author of "Countdown," and Kashif Khan, as they joined
us to delve into the intricate web of EDCs. This discussion takes
a deep dive into the far-reaching consequences of modern
conveniences, exposing the negligence of government regulatory
bodies in safeguarding our health.
Lara Adler is an Environmental Toxins Expert and educator and a
Certified Holistic Health Coach. She trains practitioners to
become experts in everyday toxic exposures so they can improve
client outcomes, with the unaddressed link between chemicals and
chronic health problems.
We discuss the truth about toxins in our everyday lives, from
personal care products to feminine hygiene to cookware. As well
as diving into understanding regulatory standards, toxicology,
phthalates and PFAS.
