About this episode:

The First Lady of Nutrition spotlights environmental toxins expert Lara Adler. Adler is a globally recognized Environmental Health Educator who has trained thousands of practitioners to identify and address hidden toxic exposures impacting chronic health. Together, Ann Louise and Lara explore the unexpected ways chemicals in our everyday environment are sabotaging our health—and our waistlines. From hidden toxins in cookware, food packaging, and personal care products to unexpected offenders like candles, perfumes, and even your mattress, no topic is off-limits.

You’ll learn why the kitchen is frequently a chemical hotspot in the home, how “obesogens” may be fueling weight gain without you even consuming extra calories, and what to watch for in your bedroom, bathroom, and beyond. They even dive into the potential risks of candles, incense, tattoos, and whether essential oils are truly safe. Most importantly, Lara shares practical, doable swaps to reduce your toxic load without turning your life upside down.  Visit laraadler.com to learn more.
