ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS + TOXIN REMOVAL

How much time do you spend inside your home or other buildings? For most people, it’s quite a bit of time, particularly for those living in colder climates! The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that in the United States, people spend 90% of their time on average indoors. As a result, indoor air pollution may be a greater risk to people’s health than outdoor air pollution.

Obesogens are a subset of endocrine-disrupting chemicals — man-made compounds that alter hormone activity.

They are generally defined as any chemical that can cause the human body to produce more fat than it normally would, and can include substances we usually think of as fattening, like sugars or artificial sweeteners.

However, obesogens are not only found in food, rather entering the body through other consumer products, like makeup, shampoos, soaps, plastics and food packaging.
