How Environmental Toxins and Plastics Are Driving Chronic Illness with Dr. Miles Nichols

How Environmental Toxins and Plastics Are Driving Chronic Illness with Dr. Miles Nichols

What if the plastic in your clothes, water, and air is already inside your brain and driving disease without you knowing it? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Miles Nichols, a functional medicine doctor, to break down one of the most urgent health threats of our time. We discuss how plastics, nanoplastics, and chemical exposures are accumulating in our bodies and what that means for long-term health, inflammation, and disease risk. We look into studies linking higher microplastic load to dementia, cardiovascular disease, infertility, and neuroinflammation, and what this means for the rising rates of chronic illness today. Dr. Miles explains advanced testing, like transcriptomics, and how gene expression patterns can reveal early signs of conditions like Parkinson’s long before symptoms appear. Finally, we talk about practical solutions to reduce exposure and lower the overall toxic burden. This episode is empowering. The goal isn’t perfection, but awareness and consistent reduction of exposure. “Oftentimes, the body starts to naturally heal when the conditions are right for that. And so a lot of the work in the clinic is to make sure that we're reducing enough of the obstacles that prevent the body from doing what it naturally does so well." ~ Dr. Miles Nichols Resources: - True Cellular Formulas CytoDetox: Supports Cellular Detox & Natural Toxin Removal - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2 [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2] Connect with Dr. Miles Nichols: - Website - https://drmilesnichols.com/ [https://drmilesnichols.com/] Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ [https://www.nontoxicdad.com/]  - Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ [https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/]  - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad [https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad] - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad [https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad]

What if the products you use every day to look better are actually making you age faster? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, founder of Queen of the Thrones, to discuss one of the most overlooked sources of toxicity in our lives: our skincare and beauty products.  Dr. Marisol shares her journey from beauty pageants to becoming a naturopathic doctor and clean beauty advocate, after realizing how many everyday products were loaded with hidden chemicals that impact long-term health.

If you’ve ever questioned what’s really in your beauty products or felt overwhelmed by “clean beauty” marketing, this conversation will provide clarity, confidence, and practical steps you can start today. “The very first beauty influencer was Cleopatra, and she owed her beauty to castor oil." ~ Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, ND Resources: - True Cellular Formulas CytoDetox: Supports Cellular Detox & Natural Toxin Removal - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2 [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2] - Think Dirty (Shop Clean Products) - https://www.thinkdirtyapp.com/ [https://www.thinkdirtyapp.com/] - EWG's Skin Deep® database - https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ [https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/] - Castor Oil Glow Up by Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, ND - https://queenofthethrones.com/products/castor-oil-glow-up [https://queenofthethrones.com/products/castor-oil-glow-up] Connect with Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, ND: - Website - https://queenofthethrones.com/ [https://queenofthethrones.com/] - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bewellqueen/ [https://www.instagram.com/bewellqueen/] Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ [https://www.nontoxicdad.com/]  - Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ [https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/]  - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad [https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad] - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad [https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad]

The Real Cause of Heart Attacks Isn’t What You Think

What if everything you thought you knew about preventing heart attacks was wrong and the real solution isn’t a pill or stent, but a non-toxic, holistic approach? In this episode, I sit down with Diamond Fernandes, an expert in heart health and founder of Heart Fit Clinic, to tackle one of the biggest health concerns today. We break down the conventional approach to heart care and why so many people are misdiagnosed or overtreated with stents, bypasses, and medications. Diamond shares a non-toxic perspective, explaining how mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and inflammation are the true drivers of heart attacks, not just cholesterol. We explore the three pillars of heart health: electrical function, structural integrity, and arterial health. Diamond walks us through the science behind healthy arteries, angiogenesis (how arteries can regrow), and the impact of lifestyle, nutrition, and mindset on long-term cardiovascular outcomes.  For anyone who feels confused by conflicting heart health advice or overwhelmed by medications and procedures, this conversation provides hope and practical tips for cardiovascular wellness. “Heart attacks occur when you end up with mitochondrial dysfunction...You can have a heart attack and have completely normal coronaries." ~ Diamond Fernandes Resources: - True Cellular Formulas CytoDetox: Supports Cellular Detox & Natural Toxin Removal - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2 [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2] - Books by Diamond Fernandes - https://heartfitclinic.com/products/ [https://heartfitclinic.com/products/] Connect with Diamond Fernandes: - Website - https://heartfitclinic.com/ [https://heartfitclinic.com/] Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ [https://www.nontoxicdad.com/]  - Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ [https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/]  - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad [https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad] - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad [https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad]
