The Hidden Toxins Impacting Our Energy + Health: A Conversation with Rebecca Glick
Manage episode 483900406 series 3613280
Ever wondered why you're feeling constantly fatigued despite seemingly doing everything right? The answer might be hiding in your kitchen cabinets, bathroom shelves, or even that scented candle you love so much. In this eye-opening conversation with functional medicine health coach Rebecca Glick, we pull back the curtain on the often misunderstood world of environmental toxins.
Rebecca breaks down what toxins really are—not just buzzwords on wellness blogs, but genuine health disruptors lurking in our everyday environments. These substances accumulate over time, creating what experts call a "toxic burden" that can manifest as inflammation, hormone imbalances, energy crashes, cognitive fog, and even stubborn weight issues. The revelation here isn't to inspire panic but awareness: our bodies are incredible detoxification machines when properly supported.
What makes this episode particularly valuable is Rebecca's balanced, realistic approach. She doesn't advocate throwing away everything you own or living in isolation. Instead, she guides us through making strategic, meaningful changes starting with the foods we eat ("if your grandmother can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't be eating it"), the cookware we use, and the cleaning products that touch our homes. From shopping the perimeter of grocery stores to swapping toxic pans for safer alternatives like cast iron and stainless steel, these practical tips can be implemented gradually without overwhelming your life or budget.
Perhaps most empowering is Rebecca's emphasis on supporting our bodies' innate detoxification abilities through proper nutrition, movement, quality sleep, and stress management. This isn't about buying expensive cleanses or following restrictive protocols—it's about consistent, mindful choices that compound over time to create profound health shifts.
