Is Your Home Toxic To Your Health? – Show #10

Craftsman HouseAs we discussed in last week’s podcast, dangerous toxins are found in our environment and they can cause disease and poor health if ignored.

But have you considered the dangerous toxins that can be found in your home? We may feel safe from strangers inside our homes but an alarming amount of toxins are present where we eat, sleep, and play.

In Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Mike Okouchi from http://www.akdocmike.com we discuss some common household toxins, such as unfiltered water, fluoride, and parabins in our shampoos and lotions that can cause tumor growth in breast tissue. Dr. Mike also explains that toxins are released everyday from our carpets and even our laundry detergents.

While this may all sound very depressing, there are certain steps you can take to eliminate some of these toxins and improve our health. These include eating organic foods, cook food using low heat, and using vitamin supplements. Listen in for more information and solutions!

The media is filled with advice and self-help articles for living a healthy lifestyle: eat more fruits and vegetables, exercise more, and eat organic foods when possible. But did you know there are some toxins found in our environment that are poisoning us?

This week I am very pleased to be joined by Dr. Mike Okouchi from http://www.akdocmike.com/ and he explains how the death of a beloved relative pushed him into a life of healing and teaching healthy living practices.

In Part 1 of my interview with Dr. Mike, he explains what the endocrine system is and how toxins can
affect this part of our body and increase our risk for certain diseases. He also talks about the ways the toxins in our air, plastics, junk food, medications, and pesticides can affect us.

Join me next week for Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Mike.
