But, if you're a busy mom like me, we take all of this information and immediately get overwhelmed with not knowing where to start.

I am delighted to have Lara Adler with me again today! Lara is a self-proclaimed environmental toxins nerd. She was on the show last year, in episode 159, where we spoke about the link between chemical exposure, weight gain, and other hormonal imbalances. I asked her to join me again today, to highlight the impact of the quality of our water on our health.  Lara Adler is an Environmental Toxins Expert & Educator and a Certified Holistic Health Coach who teaches health coaches, nutritionists, and other health professionals how to eliminate the number one thing holding their clients back from the results they are seeking – the unaddressed link between chemicals and chronic health problems. She trains practitioners to become experts in everyday toxic exposures so they can improve client outcomes without spending hundreds of hours researching on their own.  There have recently been so many questions about water! In this episode, Lara and I take a deep dive into the scope of the water issue. We discuss the problems around regulation, water contamination, and the crumbling water infrastructure in the United States. We discuss how differences in geography affect our exposure to certain types of industrial toxins and pesticides and talk about how our water gets disinfected with chlorine, chloramine, and fluoride. We get into the impact of biological contaminants, the role of industry and government, the effects of climate change and pollution, why we need to understand the water quality reports for our homes, and how micro-plastics can impair our health and longevity. We also talk about bottled water, water filters, and Lara's favorite environmental health books, bottles, and reverse osmosis.  IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN The concerns expressed in the book Silent Spring started changing the tide around environmental pollutants. The United States still has very poor regulations around the number of industrial chemicals present in the water system. There might be traces of antibiotics, antidepressants, and other drugs in our drinking water. Lara explains why she purposefully does not promote any specific water filtration systems. Problems that exist in the American water infrastructure. Even though utilities in the United States are legally required to produce water quality reports (or consumer confidence reports) every year, they do not always do that. Why is it vital for you to obtain your water quality report, regardless of where you live? Lara explains the difference between groundwater and surface water. The pros and cons of disinfecting water. Why should you avoid drinking untreated spring water? The government and industry in America have not been good stewards of the country's water supply. Lara talks about the intentional campaign run by the American government and industry to push the environmental responsibility onto the consumer. Why is chlorine added to our water supply? What does it do, and how does it impact our health? Lara shares her thoughts on fluoride. What are micro-plastics, and how do they impact our health? Some advice for re-mineralizing water purified by reverse osmosis.

Sadly, we have a plethora of chemicals in our environment, beauty products, and food that negatively impact both our hormones and overall health in a deep and profound way.

Environmental toxins are an invisible threat to our health found in household items we use every single day.  There are more than 84,000 chemicals approved for use in the United States, and nearly 99% of people, when tested, show contamination with several harmful toxins. In my health journey, toxins were the last piece of the puzzle I discovered after diet, lifestyle, movement, and sleep. But once I started learning more about environmental toxins, it was eye opening to realize just how many we encounter on a daily basis and the impact they have on our bodies. In this episode, Lara Adler, Environmental Toxins Expert and Holistic Health Coach, joins us to talk about the most common sources of toxin exposure, how to create a non-toxic environment in your home and the truth about regulatory measures in the US, and why it’s so important to be an informed citizen.

Lara Adler is an Environmental Toxins Expert, and Angela’s teacher.  The ladies discuss a class of chemicals called obesegens that are in your daily products (and yes, they make you fat). They take a deeper dive into specifics on some of the chemicals in your home as well as government laws and the importance of consumer education and action.    From the Episode: We highly recommend you check out our two-part Detoxing your Home Series (episodes 60 &61) before listening to this episode. The series gives you a great foundation that is important to have moving into Lara and Angela’s talk.  There are over 20 chemicals that are known obesogens. Learn about how they could be causing weight gain.  Where do I even begin? True to our mantra, we want you to start by pressing the easy button. We give you key areas to start with that involve your sense of smell and taste. Organic. Yes, you need to start focusing on it. Lara gives you the reasons why, including some you probably have never thought of. The decisions Moms make with food while their baby is in utero has a profound impact on how their cells and body develops. Be curious. Regulations and testings are often not up to snuff, even those done by the government. We talk about what to trust and how doing your own research can impact you and often, countless others. The EU has a track record of regulating but not banning. Lara talks about their approach and how it makes a huge difference in their countries.   AWC Goodies:    Check out Angela’s Guide -  5 Simple Ways to Lower Your Stress Today on her website at www.angelawagner.com.
