Chapter 4, Environmental Chemicals, in my book explains the diversity and extent of toxic chemicals we are exposed to on a daily basis. It looks at what these chemicals do in our body and their effects on fertility and the health of your future baby.
Heavy metals are all too common as well, it is now widely recognised that cosmetics contain potentially harmful chemical substances including plasticizers, bisphenol A, parabens, synthetic dyes, benzophenones, formaldehyde and heavy metals.
One of the easiest ways to assess your chronic exposure to heavy metals is with a hair analysis – but not all laboratories or tests provide the quality you deserve.
Your qualified naturopath will have access to these labs – a list of which is contained in Appendix 3.
