Toxicologist Reveals The Top 7 Sources of Hidden Toxins In Your Home And How to Protect Your Brain And Body With Yvonne Burkart, PhD

Detox Support

Supporting the body's natural detoxification processes is crucial for maintaining health. Yvonne Burkart emphasizes the importance of sweating, whether through exercise or sauna use, as a means to expel toxins like BPA and phthalates from the body 1. She also highlights the role of glutathione, a master antioxidant, in protecting cells from oxidative stress and toxic injury 2. Burkart advises against relying solely on supplements, advocating instead for lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and consuming sulfur-rich foods to naturally boost glutathione levels 3.

   

Low Tox Living

Adopting a low-tox lifestyle involves making informed choices about household and personal care products. Yvonne Burkart suggests switching to beeswax candles, which release fewer pollutants compared to conventional scented candles 4. Dhru Purohit shares practical tips for minimizing exposure to toxins while traveling, such as requesting fragrance-free linens at hotels 5. Additionally, Burkart advocates for sustainable living by choosing natural fibers over synthetic ones to reduce exposure to microplastics and PFAS 6.

   

Toxin Reduction

Improving air and water quality is essential for minimizing exposure to environmental toxins. Yvonne Burkart recommends opening windows to reduce indoor air pollution, which can be significantly worse than outdoor air 7. She also suggests using air purifiers with carbon and HEPA filters to capture harmful particles and VOCs. Dhru Purohit shares his experience of reducing toxins in his life, emphasizing that once basic changes are made, it becomes second nature and doesn't require constant attention 8.
