from Cancer Proof Living · host Michelle Patidar

Subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don't miss the next episode.After cancer, I removed nine things from my kitchen that most people still use.I'm a certified integrative nutrition health coach, a nine-year cancer survivor, and I work with people on cancer prevention and recovery, so my kitchen had to change in ways I didn't expect.When I started looking at refined oils, non-stick cookware, plastic containers, aluminum foil, scented plug-ins, plastic water bottles, plastic cutting boards, ultra-processed foods, and conventional cleaning products together, I realized how much daily exposure I'd accepted as normal.No single product causes cancer overnight. But chronic exposure over years is a different conversation, and that's the one I want to have.Learn what I swapped out, what I use now, and why each change actually matters. Some swaps were easy. A few took me longer than I'd like to admit.If you want more episodes on lowering your toxic load and rethinking everyday habits after a diagnosis, subscribe to the channel so the next one finds you.You’ll learn:[0:00] Introduction[0:57] Why refined vegetable oils are the first thing to cut from your kitchen[2:03] The forever chemicals in non-stick cookware, and what Teflon flu actually is[2:57] An overlooked problem with cooking on aluminum foil[3:42] Microplastics are now showing up in blood, placentas, and breast milk[4:47] What synthetic air fresheners are actually releasing into your home[5:58] Heat turns your plastic water bottle into an endocrine disruptor[6:35] Plastic cutting boards shed microplastics directly into your food[7:04] Ultra-processed foods are actually designed to be addictive, and what to eat instead[7:52] The cleaning products linked to accelerated lung decline in womenResources mentioned:Branch Basics | WebsiteCleaning at Home and at Work in Relation to Lung Function Decline and Airway Obstruction by Svanes, Ø., et al. | ArticleFind more from Michelle:Revival Health & Wellness | Instagram | Facebook | WebsiteCancer Proof Living | YouTubeMichelle Patidar | LinkedIn
