Part 4 of Season 2's Forever Chemicals Detox series. We've been taught that "the dose makes the poison." But what if that's no longer true? In this episode of Practical Nontoxic Living™, Sophia Ruan Gushée unpacks how low doses of toxic chemicals—like PFAS, endocrine disruptors, and heavy metals—can create powerful biological effects, especially during critical stages of life. You'll hear why the Endocrine Society warns that there may be no safe dose for certain hormone-disrupting chemicals, and how these exposures can interact like a "toxic cocktail" to amplify harm. Most importantly, Sophia offers simple, practical steps to reduce your exposure at home—because if small doses can harm, small changes can heal. Plus, stay tuned for next week's episode introducing Sophia's Household Repeat Offenders™ framework—a commonsense way to simplify detoxing your home and avoid dozens of toxic exposures at once. 🎧 Listen now and turn science into empowerment—one simple step at a time.
