Listen "#114: Stripping back the truth about detoxing"
Episode Synopsis
Today we’re exploring detoxification, stripping back what it is and providing simple actionable steps you can implement into your everyday life.
Toxins are everywhere - in our food, beauty products, personal care items, cleaning products, the air, plastics. And for women they can be especially disruptive to our hormonal balance. So, whether you want to manage or lose weight or not, this episode is one that will provide important information and simple ways to take action from for better overall health.
Harriet Hills joins me to discuss the critical role of detoxification in women's health, particularly in relation to weight loss and gut health. Harriet shares her personal journey into nutrition, emphasising the importance of a holistic approach that includes diet, exercise, and mental wellbeing. We explore the various toxins present in our environment and food, and how these can disrupt hormonal balance, especially during perimenopause.
In our conversation today we talk about:
The common toxins in food and your environment, and how they can disrupt hormonal balance.
Why detoxification is essential for overall health and weight loss.
The importance of a diverse diet rich in whole foods to support strong gut health.
The role of your gut in building strong health and wellbeing.
How mindset plays a crucial role in nutrition and wellness.
Practical tips for reducing toxin exposure and enhancing the body's natural detoxification processes.
Detoxification myths and realities.
Small lifestyle changes can lead to significant health improvements.
