IN THIS EPISODE:

  • [05:00] With any chronic inflammatory disease, where does the inflammation come from? It always comes back to the same mechanisms.
  • [10:00] The leaky gut, and the larger molecules going through into the bloodstream.
  • [15:00] People who were tested that had elevated antibodies were all healthy. But within three years, 87% of those people were diagnosed with an auto-immune disease.
  • [20:00] The statistics of pregnancy when eating organic fruits and vegetables compared to conventional produce from the supermarket.
  • [25:00] There is no evidence of a plastic bottle of water affecting you, but chemicals are accumulating in our body over time and autoimmune diseases are increasing every year.
  • [34:00] When implementing lifestyle changes, the most important thing you can do is be kind to yourself and to be patient.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Autoimmune diseases are on the rise, with the accumulation of toxins in the food we consume and environmental factors resulting in our immune system trying to keep up.
  • There’s no evidence of a single plastic cup or bottle affecting our health, but the chemicals accumulate in your body. Every auto immune disease is going up between four and 9% every single year.
  • There are steps to reduce the amount of chemicals you take in, including having indoor plants, eating organic foods and using negative ion generators in your car.
