Dr Mark Hyman learned about the effect of toxins and heavy metals on his health from a Naturopath. In this video he speaks with leading naturopathic doctor, Joseph Pizzorno about environmental toxins and the effects these have on our health.
Some of the topics covered include:
The startling link between lead exposure and cardiovascular disease Persistent organic pollutants found in everyday items The impact of heavy metals on prostate cancer, heart disease, and diabetes How increased fibre intake helps eliminate toxins by preventing reabsorption in the gut
Near the hour of recording, Dr Pizzorno provides some very relevant data regarding fertility, sperm quality/numbers and gender dysphoria.
You can read up on environmental chemicals and toxins in my book and learn how to avoid these. Remember that avoiding toxins and clearing those already in your body are two essential steps of pre-conception preparation.
Pre-conception care is also important if you have decided to undertake IVF.
In Australia, qualified naturopaths are trained in functional pathology and can provide advice and guidance in relation to testing for toxins, heavy metals and other chemicals.
Clearing toxins from the body involves all organs and systems – liver, kidneys, bowels, lymphatics, blood, skin – and should always be done under the supervision of a qualified health professional.
