89 - Are Hidden Toxins Hurting Your Health with Dr. Joe Nieusma?

As chronic illness and diseases become more prevalent, it’s important to look at the environment around us to consider all factors contributing to health challenges.  We discussed this and more in this week’s episode of the Reawaken Your Health Podcast with Dr. Joe Nieusma, a Senior Toxicologist and the founder of Superior Toxicology & Wellness, an international scientific consulting firm.    Dr. Joe shared a brief background of his several decades in toxicology, specifically pharmaceutical toxicology.  He confirmed that many pharmaceutical companies are in the business to retain customers, not solve health problems.    We discussed how all medications have side effects and whether or not we feel the side effects depends on how toxic our environment already is.  He touched on a few common medications that have side effects that are often disregarded.   Dr. Joe shared his perspective on why chronic diseases exist but he also gives hope on how to reduce toxicity in the environment to combat chronic disease.  He shared how he cleans his air and water to avoid the pollution in the air we breathe and the pharmaceuticals in all water sources.   We also touched on supplements and which ones he feels are needed.  He stressed the need for a good anti-oxidant and a good oxidative therapy agent to help fight inflammation that contributes to aging.    We touched on how people can get help to reduce the variety of medications they are on.
