About this episode
This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Joovv . Mercury enters our bodies from many different sources, including mercury vapors in ambient air, ingestion via drinking water, fish, dental amalgams, occupational exposures, home exposures, over-the-counter products, and more. There’s no doubt about it: mercury is the most alarming, disease-causing source of environmental toxicity that I see daily in my practice. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites , I share my own experience with mercury issues and give you a comprehensive plan for reducing your exposure and healing from mercury toxicity.
