Episode Details

Are toxins like BPA, phthalates, and heavy metals destroying your bones? How can we support healthy bones and removal of toxins that may interfere? Tune in to hear us discuss bone health, the role of toxicity on osteoporosis, and food-as-medicine and supplement support to maintain bone health. 

Toxic metals and endocrine disrupting chemicals (such as BPA in plastic water bottles) interfere with the signaling of osteoblasts our bone building cells while depleting antioxidants and driving bone destruction. Not only are toxins driving obesity but now we have another reason for targeted detox support! In this episode we will cover emerging research on the impact of toxins on your bone health, ways to reduce toxicity, and top supplements and nutrients of focus to support your bones!
