Welcome back to the Nutrition Edit Podcast! Today, we're diving into part two of our discussion on what to do when nothing seems to be working on your wellness journey.In episode four, we laid some groundwork, so if you haven't listened yet, I highly recommend giving it a listen. But don't worry if you're jumping in here first – you'll still get plenty of valuable insights from today's episode.So let's tackle our first point: detoxification. It's a term that's often misunderstood, but it's crucial for supporting your body's natural cleansing processes. From keeping your bowels moving with fiber-rich foods to staying hydrated to flush out toxins, there are simple steps you can take to support detox without falling for gimmicky cleanses.But detox isn't just about what you put in your body – it's also about what you expose yourself to. Switching to non-toxic personal and household products can reduce your body's toxic load, which can interfere with weight loss and overall health. Remember, it's not just about weight – these toxins can contribute to serious health issues like cancer and diabetes.Next up, we're tackling the myth of "more is better" when it comes to exercise. Pushing yourself too hard without prioritizing sleep and stress management can actually hinder your progress. Instead of overdoing it with intense cardio, consider incorporating restorative movement like yoga or simply taking time to rest and recharge.Celebrating your wins along the way is crucial for maintaining motivation and staying on track. Don't wait until you've reached your ultimate goal to pat yourself on the back – celebrate the small victories and milestones along the way. It's all part of enjoying the journey and staying committed to your health goals.Finally, if you've tried everything and still aren't seeing results, it might be time to dig deeper. Underlying health issues like thyroid imbalances can sabotage your efforts, so don't hesitate to seek support from a functional medicine doctor or nutrition professional who can help uncover the root cause of your struggles.Remember, your journey to better health is unique to you, and it's okay to ask for help along the way. Whether it's tweaking your diet, adjusting your exercise routine, or addressing underlying health issues, there are solutions out there – you just have to find what works for you.Thanks for tuning in today!

Whether it's struggling to stick to a new diet or feeling frustrated by a lack of progress, it can be incredibly disheartening.

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, Lara Adler, an Environmental Toxins Expert & Educator, a Certified Holistic Health Coach, and someone who is deeply passionate about changing the landscape of disease through addressing toxic exposures. This episode originally aired in November 2019. Lara Adler has been on a mission to help allied health professionals better support their clients & patients they serve by addressing exposures to environmental chemicals. She also guides her students on how to seamlessly integrate this topic into their practices and to leverage their education to distinguish themselves in their fields. Lara has worked with thousands of practitioners in over 26 countries in her online programs to help them understand the links between chemicals in our daily lives and their links to chronic health conditions like metabolic disorders, thyroid disease, fertility, and behavioral problems in children. Through her flagship course, Talking Toxins, Lara gives health professionals like nutritionists, health coaches, ND's, RN's and chiropractors, as well as healthy-minded consumers a deep education on where these toxic exposures are happening, along with actionable steps to take. The goal is action, not overwhelm. In this episode, Lara Adler starts by discussing how our cell metabolism can be causing resistance to weight loss. Genetics can play a significant role in this resistance, as well as the pharmaceuticals you may be taking. Then, Lara explains all the toxins and chemicals we are introducing to our lives without even knowing. These toxins can be detrimental to our health. However, the good news is there are ways to rid your body of these chemicals. The easiest way to get started with detox is by visiting the sauna every single day. Lara also reveals other ways to rid our bodies of toxins and why this process doesn't need to be overwhelming. Tune in! Take my FREE toxicity quiz to determine your level of toxicity.

However, Lara never thought she would pursue anything professionally in the space. After eight years in another career, several people suggested she become a health coach. Lara got certified as a health coach. All of her clients were coming to her for weight loss advice. Some of Lara's clients had terrific results, whereas others had no results at all. What was she missing? Lara dove into the literature around resistance to weight loss. Lara learned about chemicals that mess with our metabolism and cause resistance weight loss. [14:15] Why You May Have Resistance to Weight Loss Genetic differences may predispose you to specific health conditions. Whereas, other people may not manifest these health conditions. For instance, two people who are smokers can have very different outcomes. [15:20] About the PPAR Pathway When PPAR gets activated, it changes the programming of our fat cells that lead toward weight gain. Our cells increase their capacity for fat storage. PPAR can also increase our number of fat cells. It happens at a cellular level completely absent from diet and exercise. This is referred to as chemically induced weight gain. Chemicals can make us fat. Antidepressants cause weight gain – it is a well-established side effect. [19:15] Fasting with Toxins We are burning fat while fasting. Normally, we are dumping our toxins into our fat. When we start losing weight rapidly, the toxins are dumped into our bloodstream. Our liver has to try and keep up with this load. Unless your liver is working perfectly, your liver can still be overloaded. People who have undergone rapid weight loss have shown a thousandfold increase of toxins flooding their systems. People often will get so sick that their hair even falls out. We want to be careful when we are fasting or losing weight. Toxins will desperately search for fat. Your metabolism cannot get rid of toxins – they get recycled back into the system. The body will rebound by adding fat to house the toxins. [22:15] Ways to Support the Liver Anything that supports the liver will be your friend on this journey. Lara's goal is to dial back the exposure and amp up what our body is getting rid of. We can do this by supporting the liver. Take activated charcoal – you need to know how to take a binder because it is a whole process. Sweat every day if you can in a sauna. Law enforcement is using sweat patches to see whether or not there are narcotics in someone's system. Sweat works! Some toxins will exit through sweat rather than any other pathway. You can measure chemicals in urine, but there are still toxins under your skin. A detox should be done every single day. We just want to support this process in all of the ways possible. [30:20] Chemicals to Look Out For BPA or bisphenol A can be found in cash register receipts, canned foods, the lining of canned foods, hard plastic materials. They are not found in soft plastics. Marketing from these companies is really misleading. If you look at a Ziploc bag, they all say BPA free – it never contained BPA. They manipulate the consumer's lack of understanding. BPA is only one chemical in a family of chemicals known as bisphenol. BPA got a bad rap in the public arena because a group of mothers saw it was in baby bottles. Companies swapped BPA for BPS – they are nearly identical. Studies about these substitutions are showing they may actually be worse. [39:45] There Is No Safe Water Bottle Brand Drink out of stainless steel. People don't want to use as much plastic, so they start reusing their plastic containers. The right thing to do is not to buy plastic. Our foods come packaged in plastic, and we can't avoid it. Avoid plastic when buying olive oil, coconut oil, and nut butter. There are 4 key things that increase the way chemicals migrate out of plastic: Heat Oil Acidity Abrasion If you have oily or fatty foods – it will increase the number of chemicals leaking out of the plastic and into the foods. [45:35] Cleaning Our Indoor Air Household cleaners cause a bigger percentage of air pollution than automobiles. You need to clean up what is happening in your house. Breathing this stuff every single day is harmful. House dust is actually lead, heavy metals, pesticides, and non-stick coating. These chemicals settle in the dust in our house. Dusting is so important to eliminate these harmful chemicals. [56:20] One Action Step at a Time When people come to this conversation and feel overwhelmed they need to take one action step. You can't occupy a space of being proactive and being overwhelmed. Action not overwhelm. Start doing stuff even if it's really small. Your first step can be visiting a sauna every day. It is easy to become obsessed with this topic and be afraid of touching anything. We do not need to be afraid of touching a plastic container. Take action on these things, and do not grab the receipt! AND MUCH MORE!

Toxins play a huge role in the majority of chronic illnesses and hormone disruptions, and yet the numbers just keep getting worse. Every year new chemicals are introduced into our environment, especially into our cleaning products and personal care products, while only a very small fraction of the effects of these chemicals are investigated. This is why it is up to you to understand the harmful effects of these toxic chemicals so that you can protect yourself and your family's health. A Lifetime of Solving Problems with Dr. Tom O'Bryan Dr. O'Bryan is considered a ‘Sherlock Holmes' for chronic disease and teaches that recognizing and addressing the underlying mechanisms that activate an immune response is the map to the highway toward better health. He holds teaching Faculty positions with the Institute for Functional Medicine and the National University of Health Sciences. He has trained and certified tens of thousands of practitioners around the world with an advanced understanding of the impact of wheat sensitivity and the development of individual autoimmune diseases.

Guiding the aging process is a long-term project and I'm celebrating 11 years since I started to reverse engineer my biological age. In this episode, I break down my Functional Nutrition framework and tracking tool that will help you understand your baseline and get really clear on how you can improve your longevity strategy. In order to feel younger while growing older, you need to know what's happening inside your body and be aware of how external exposures make an impact internally. One of the simplest ways to do that in the comfort of your own home is by tracking your food, mood, and elimination via urine and bowel movements. I share tools to help you know what to look out for, like Vivoo and the Bristol Stool Scale. I also encourage all of my clients to examine their sleep quality, stress management, glucose levels, and energy levels after they exercise. There are so many effective treatments and modalities out there that can support you, but your central nervous system will override all of your efforts on an unconscious level if you don't do the emotional work first. If you haven't already, listen to Episode 8 - Making Peace with Your Past and use that as a launching point.

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.

Quotes: “If you are doing everything right, and you still have those problems, that deserves a look at toxins.” (11:24) “It is only when you are in the process of needing something that you should be upgrading. Don't throw out all of your cleaning supplies, all of your beauty supplies, wait until you are running out, and then level up.” (29:34) “Try not to fill your pump up with toxins, and then do your best to get rid of them. But go one by one.” (33:08) “Don't take that statement ‘oh you are just getting older', at face value. If someone says that to you… don't accept it is just a function of aging, or you are just a hysterical woman. That is such bunk.” (49:49) “There is always a cause, and it is fixable. Definitely work with a functional medicine provider, because it's fixable! Your health is not negotiable, and you matter.” (50:00) In This Episode Tips to help you detox your body, especially if you are still recovering from the holidays (14:07) Specific supplements and treatments that we should all be doing for our general health (17:46) How to avoid and reduce exposure to toxins in your home (21:37) What to do if you feel overwhelmed by leveling up your toxic avoidance (31:08) When you should start looking into testing your toxin levels (35:40) Resources Mentioned: Use Promo Code ‘podcast' to get 10% off your order at the Essentially Whole Store Dr. Mariza's 14-Day Hormone Detox Free Level Up Your Detoxification Game Guide Here Dirty Girl: Ditch the Toxins, Look Great, and Feel Freaking Amazing by Dr. Wendie Trubow and Ed Levitan Five Journeys Website Follow Five Journeys on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter Other Resources: Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube Podcast production & marketing support by the team at Counterweight Creative Related Episodes: Essentially You Episode #335: The Most Important - Yet Little-Known - Secrets to Achieve Your Youngest-Looking Skin with Brian Vaszily Essentially You Episode #169: Everyday Detox: Strategies for Reducing Daily Environmental Toxic Exposure with Lara Adler
If You Want to Achieve Your Youngest-Looking Skin, You Should: Be mindful of what you are putting into your body and what you should keep out Switch out the toxic products that sit on your skin with certified organic products instead Start viewing your skincare products the same as you view your food intake We often forget that our skin is our largest organ in the body and plays a pivotal role in our hormones, longevity, immune system, and overall health. Everything you put onto your skin is absorbed into your body, including your shampoo, lotion, makeup, and household cleaners. When we use personal care products that are filled with chemicals, it can lead to a myriad of health problems and actually age us faster. Natural Skincare Solutions With Brian Vaszily Brian Vaszily is a prominent natural health leader, researcher, and advocate with over 20 years of experience. He is the founder of The Art of Anti-Aging and Purity Woods, a premier-quality USDA Certified Organic skincare product line. He is on a mission to help those in their 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, and beyond with the most effective evidence-based natural solutions to look and feel their best, avoid and overcome disease, and live longer. The Problem with Toxins Feeding your skin is just like feeding your body. Unfortunately, the personal care industry is one of the most unregulated industries in this country, with only 11 chemicals being banned for use in personal care products. Compared to the over 1300 chemicals that have been banned in the EU and other countries, this is a huge red flag. While consuming these toxic products through your skin may not have an immediate effect on your health, using these products for days, weeks, and years can be detrimental. This is why we have to put as much time and care into selecting products for our skin as we do when feeding ourselves. Achieving Younger-Looking Skin Naturally Let's be honest; we all want to look younger. Our skin is a big indicator of youth, which is why we can't separate it from the rest of our health. The goal is to put something on our skin that will keep us looking, and feeling great, without damaging our skin biome and immune system. Aging is a wonderful thing. But the key to aging gracefully is to use products that nourish us rather than consuming chemicals that can have some seriously negative long-term effects on our health. By educating yourself on the best ingredients for your skin, you can look and feel younger for longer. Are you ready to achieve younger-looking skin by removing the toxic chemicals from your personal care routine? Share your thoughts on what Brian shared with us today with me in the comments section of the episode page. Quotes: “When we put ingredients on our skin, they go into our body, they are food, just like the same way we put food in our mouth.” (8:20) “In the European Union, and in other countries, over 1300 different chemicals have been banned from cosmetics and personal care products because they are known toxins or highly potential toxins.

What's the one thing that so many women are overlooking when trying to fix their hormones? Environmental toxins. 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. And because many of these chemicals have been deemed "safe," we miss the compound effect they are having inside of our bodies. In the kick-off episode for our third season of Hormonally Speaking, I speak with environmental toxins expert and self-professed nerd Lara Adler, who breaks down a ton of scientific info for us, including: -How the industry studies chemical toxicity, and how this isn't the best approach to determining the actual effects on our health -Specifically how these chemicals impact our hormone receptors, as well as how they mimic our own hormones -Where to look for the biggest offenders, and how to start clearing these chemicals out of your environment This is a power-packed episode of information that will surprise you, and just might be the key to your hormonal dysregulation. Lara Adler is a Certified Holistic Health Coach and self-educated Environmental Toxins Expert. She's been a featured speaker on over a dozen Summits, dozens of podcasts, and appeared in a 9-Part Documentary Film Series viewed by millions around the world.

No One Is Exempt From Heavy Metal Exposure You might think that there is no way that you could be exposed to harmful toxins in your everyday life. But the truth is, you could be exposed to these toxins by coming in contact with the paint on your walls, the water that you drink, or the foods that you eat. Heavy metals are no joke, and even if you are not experiencing serious health issues, these toxins are accumulating in your body, and no one is exempt. If you are struggling with hormone issues, there is a very good chance that heavy metals and toxicity are playing a role. Daily Detoxification Habits That Can Cure Your Hormone Symptoms The good news is that with daily detoxification habits, you can improve your overall health and facilitate your body's natural ability to extract these harmful toxins. By eating organic, using natural products, and supporting your liver, you can set your body up for success.

Linda Yalen's own health journey of digestive issues, weight gain, and low cortisol from a high stress lifestyle led her on a path of discovery. She also has had many family members with cancer that she has helped. Today, she is an author and is certified as a health coach with IIN, cancer coach, herbalist, energy medicine practitioner, and she is currently taking a certification course on environmental toxins with Lara Adler. Listen to this podcast to learn about the root causes of our symptoms and what can help. Please refer to the links for education on environmental toxins, essential oils, and the importance of organic food. 5:00 What I loved about Beat Cancer is they're a non-profit and the course doesn't teach coaches to tell people not to do the treatments they choose, but instead it backs up education with scientific proof which allowed me to speak with validity. 7:37 Stress is the number one cause of most diseases. 8:07 When cortisol levels get low from stress you are susceptible to disease. You can test cortisol levels with a saliva test. Reiki, grounding, and deep breathing will help put yourself in a good place energetically and will help balance your chakras, which are your energy points. 10:09 You can get blockages in your heart area from heartbreak which can allow breast cancer to develop if you don't release stress and allow yourself to grieve when necessary. There is a relationship between energy flow and disease. 12:15 It is a good idea, pre-and post surgery to have an energy healer work on you so energy free flowing. It accelerate healing of the body. I specialize in crisis and hospice. Reiki also helps heal the family. 14:40 Hormones and digestive issues go hand-in-hand. Everything starts in the gut. You can get a gut test to see if you have nutrient deficiencies or food sensitivities. Sleep deprivation affects hormone health. It's important to be tuned into your symptoms. 16:45 Health coaches come into play to help with symptom analysis, using tools and test to problem solve to find the root cause and then make small changes in the right direction. 19:15 Hydration and sleep play a huge role in our health, as well as environmental toxins and the foods we eat. 21:50 One important thing to do is to chew your food until it's liquid so the body doesn't have to work so hard to digest. Also, when you eat sit down, turn off the TV and do not multitask while you're eating. 23:22 Being on computers until bed can affect our health because of the blue light they give off. Be aware of 5G, the devices in your home, and the environmental toxins in your environment. I am taking a course with Lara Adler who is an environmental toxins expert, www.laraadler.com 28:33 www.EWG.org is the environmental working group and they go to place for safe products, food, cosmetics, etc. There is also a great app for your phone that they have.

Today we are continuing and finishing our clean green living series with guest Lara Adler and we are thrilled to have her onthe show today. Lara is a certified holistic health coach and self taught environmental toxins expert. Lara is committed to opening up the conversation around environmental toxins in an accessible way. We've actually gotten a lot of questions from our listeners about simple, non-overwhelming ways to start cleaning up our skincare products, water, household items, etc…and although we feel like we do know a fair amount about that process, we thought it would be great to bring in someone like Lara who is non-biased and pretty much and expert.
In this episode, I'm joined by Lara Adler. Lara is an Environmental Toxins Expert, Educator, and a Certified Holistic Health Coach. She teaches practitioners within the health & wellness community to better understand the links between environmental chemicals and their impact on health issues - from weight gain and diabetes to thyroid disease and infertility - so they can more comprehensively support their clients and patients. She also teaches health enthusiasts who are proactive about protecting their and their family's health & well being, helping them achieve the peace of mind that they're doing the best they can. Lara is deeply committed to peeling back the curtain and opening up the conversation about environmental toxins in a way that's informative, accessible, actionable and free from overwhelm. I'm a student of Lara's. Under her guidance, I've studied environmental toxins and how they influence and impact our health metabolically and hormonally. She has a wealth of information to share, and I'm so thrilled to have her on the show sharing her wisdom with all of us. What I loved learning from Lara is her sensible and practical approach to dealing with environmental toxins which you'll hear all about in this interview.
