Toxic Exposures at Home
from Renee Belz & Lauren Sambataro · host Biohacker Babes
We’re all stuck in our homes, which can surprisingly be one of the most toxic places to be. From the chemicals in cleaning products, to the flame retardants on furniture, to the personal care products in your bathroom (loaded with xenoestrogens)… our bodies can take quite a hit. In this episode, we address the connection between toxins and hormones, strategies for reducing your toxic load, and tips for creating cleaner health habits.
