From Soil to Cell: The Impact of Environmental Toxins on Metabolic and Microbiome Health

Dr. Lyn Patrick discusses the impact of glyphosate on metabolic healthand the microbiome. She highlights the importance of understanding the effects of biocides on human health and the environment. Dr. Patrick emphasizes the need to outlaw the production and use of pesticides, particularly glyphosate. She also suggests filtering water and consuming an all-organic diet as ways to reduce glyphosate exposure. Dr. Patrick shares research on the effects of glyphosate on pregnant women and the importance of further investigation into the sources of glyphosate contamination. In this conversation, Lyn Patrick and Nasha discuss various topics related to environmental medicine and health. They cover the importance of filtration for avoiding contaminants like glyphosate, the accessibility of healthy food and filtration systems for low-income individuals, the cost of conventional vs. organic diets, and the role of air and water filtration in protecting against toxins. They also discuss the dangers of cell phone radiation and the benefits of sauna and cold plunge for metabolic health. The conversation concludes with a call to action for individuals to get involved in advocacy and activism for environmental health.Episode References: ► Lyn Patrick ND Website: https://emeiglobal.com/► Website: https://www.drnasha.com/► Terrain Advocate Program: https://tap.terrain.network/► Practitioner Program: https://matc.terrain.network/► Find a Doctor: https://my.terrain.network/► Dr. Nasha Products: https://www.drnashaapproved.com/► The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: https://a.co/d/44kHGOS ► Podcast: https://metabolicmatters.org/► Instagram: / drnashawinters TakeawaysGlyphosate, the most commonly used herbicide, is a significant contributor to metabolic dysfunction and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Glyphosate can disrupt the microbiome and lead to dysbiosis, leaky gut, and systemic inflammation.Reducing glyphosate exposure can be achieved through filtering water and consuming an all-organic diet.Glyphosate-free certifications for food products are available and can help reduce glyphosate exposure.Further research is needed to understand the sources and routes of glyphosate contamination and its impact on human health. Filtration systems for air and water are essential for avoiding contaminants like glyphosate and other toxins.Access to healthy food and filtration systems should be available to low-income individuals, and there are resources and workarounds to make this possible.Contrary to popular belief, an organic diet can be cost-comparable to a conventional diet when whole foods are purchased and prepared at home.Simple lifestyle changes, such as avoiding cell phone radiation, using saunas and cold plunges, and getting involved in advocacy, can contribute to better health and a more sustainable future.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background02:24 Dr. Lyn Patrick's Work in HIV/AIDS and Environmental Medicine10:26 Glyphosate and Metabolic Health24:46 Impact of Glyphosate on the Microbiome27:46 Effects of Glyphosate on the Terrain31:41 Creating Hope and Taking Action41:00 Glyphosate and the Need for Filtration42:21 Workarounds for Low-Income Individuals44:18 The Cost of Conventional vs. Organic Diets45:30 Access to Healthy Food for Low-Income Individuals46:28 Water and Air Filtration48:24 Air Filtration for Mold Exposure52:49 The Importance of Ventilation and Gas Appliances54:58 Simple Lifestyle Changes for Health and Sustainability56:56 The Dangers of Cell Phone Radiation01:00:21 Sauna and Cold Plunge for Metabolic Health01:04:27 Advocacy and Activism for Environmental Health Hosted on Acast.
