Reduce Your Toxic Load | Dr. Yvonne Burkart

Get ready to redefine your lifestyle as we unravel the complex world of toxicology with our special guest, Dr. Yvonne Burkart. Prepare to be enlightened on the intricate correlation between environmental toxins, reproductive health, and cancer. You'll also gain firsthand insights into Dr. Burkart's transformational journey to improved health through adopting a low-tox lifestyle. Let's equip ourselves with practical ways of controlling our exposure to toxins at home and at work, because surprisingly, we do have control over the toxins we come into contact with daily. We then venture into the sphere of oral health and the often overlooked role of glutathione. With Dr. Burkart's guidance, we'll shed light on the association between glutathione levels and dental decay, especially in children. But beware, there are potential pitfalls when it comes to over-supplementing. Our conversation will also cover common causes of oral health issues, from an imbalance of microbes to mouth breathing, and the underdevelopment of the oral microbiome in children. It's not all doom and gloom though, we'll share tips on managing oral health through diet and lifestyle modifications.
