About this episode
In episode 118, Ste sits down with Eric Ritter for a deep discussion about lead exposure. While most of the attention is on challenges like microplastics, mold, or ultra-processed foods, lead and other heavy metals are significant challenges that cannot be ignored. Eric shares valuable insights into the signs and symptoms of lead poisoning, the most common sources of lead, and what to do about it. Instead of leaving you feeling overwhelmed, Eric arms you with the tools to overcome this challenge and improve your health.
