E39: Hidden Toxins in Your Home and How to Avoid Them
Summary:
In this week’s episode of The Peak Performance Podcast, Coach Kyle and Dr. K delve into the myriad of toxins that could be lurking in various parts of your home. They focus on specific rooms, including the kitchen, closet, laundry room, and bedroom, offering practical advice on how to mitigate toxin exposure. The episode emphasizes the importance of avoiding processed foods, opting for glass over plastic, and maintaining a clean living environment to reduce mold and other harmful substances.
Takeaways:
- Avoid Processed Foods: Highly processed plant-based foods often contain elevated levels of toxins such as glyphosate and should be avoided in favor of whole foods.
- Choose Organic, but Stay Informed: Organic labels can be misleading; they don't guarantee the absence of toxins. Always research and opt for trusted sources.
- Mind Your Kitchenware: Avoid using plastic and non-stick cookware. Opt for alternatives like glass and stainless steel to minimize toxin exposure.
- Clean Your Kitchen Regularly: Regularly clean areas prone to mold, such as under the sink and the dishwasher, using hydrogen peroxide or other safe cleaning agents.
- Beware of Plastic Clothing: Plastic fibers in clothing can release microplastics into the environment and your body. Opt for natural fibers like organic cotton, bamboo, or merino wool.
- Optimize Laundry Practices: Avoid scented detergents and fabric softeners. Use natural alternatives and clean your washing machine regularly to prevent mold buildup.
- Pay Attention to Bedding and Air Quality in the Bedroom: Use organic cotton bedding and consider replacing old mattresses. Invest in a good air purifier to ensure clean air while you sleep.
- Check for Mold and Leaks: Regularly inspect your home for mold and fix any leaks promptly, especially in high-risk areas like the attic and under sinks.
