EP 41: Environmental Toxins and Your Health with Lara Adler

November 22, 2021

We talk a lot about toxins and you may think you’ve heard it all before, but hear me out!


We are exposed to environmental toxins every single day, by doing normal, everyday activities like eating, showering, using beauty products, and cleaning.


Many exposures are unavoidable, but there are many that you can address, especially when it comes to products that come into your home.


You might think that because something is on the shelf at your local store, that means it’s safe. But there are over 84,000 chemicals registered for use in the United States and many of them have never been tested for safety.


We’re finding that many of these chemicals are linked to conditions we’re all trying to avoid, like cancer, diabetes, depression, anxiety, ADHD, thyroid disease, hormonal imbalances, infertility and more.


But when it comes to reducing your exposure, it can be hard to know where to start and easy to get overwhelmed.


That’s why today, I’m talking with environmental toxins expert and educator Lara Adler.


Lara Adler is an Environmental Toxins Expert & Educator and a Certified Holistic Health Coach who teaches health coaches, nutritionists, and other health professionals how to eliminate the #1 thing holding their clients back from the results they are seeking – the unaddressed link between chemicals and chronic health problems. She trains practitioners to become experts in everyday toxic exposures so they can improve client outcomes without spending hundreds of hours researching on their own.


Listen to the full episode to hear:


  • How the reactive, rather than proactive, mode of regulation and enforcement in the United States make it easy for toxins to end up in products we use every day.
  • How industry mobilizes to manufacture positive research and suppress negative outcomes.
  • Three simple, free steps to take today to begin reducing toxin exposure in your home.
  • The truth about natural and organic labeling on personal care products, and what label claims you can actually trust.
