EFR 510: Three Factors That Compromise Your Immune System, Using Fasting to Lose Weight, Boost Energy, and Improve Sleep and How to Reduce Household Toxins with Dr. Mindy Pelz

In 2012, Ken Cook, President of Environmental Working Group (EMG) presented a 22-minute talk called "10 Americans". In it, he shares EMG's research on ten individuals across the country to determine how dependent a person's toxic load was on where they lived. What they found was that these ten Americans had over 200 cancer-causing chemicals in them that could potentially lead to infertility, thyroid problems, and autoimmune conditions. Other than the toxins themselves, there was only one commonality shared by every individual in this study: All ten of these Americans were still in the womb. A decade later, we're being barraged by more harmful chemicals in our everyday lives than ever before. What can we do to start lowering our "toxic bucket" today? Dr. Mindy Pelz, DC is a holistic health and fasting expert. Her tips on fasting and alternative health can be found on her YouTube channel as well as the podcast she founded and hosts, The Resetter Podcast.

Listen in as Dr. Pelz shares how to lower your toxic bucket in the modern world, how fasting can nip chronic disease in the bud, why experiencing symptoms such as fever or mucus buildup is actually your body's innate healing mechanism in action, and why addressing immunocompromisation is far more important to ending the pandemic than vaccines and lockdowns.
