Episode Description from the Publisher

Your clothes, your mattress, your cleaning products — they're all off-gassing chemicals into your body 24 hours a day, and most people have no idea. Alex Clark has spent the last year on the front lines of the MAHA movement, testifying at the White House on glyphosate, exposing what's hiding in cotton tampons, and building one of the most-followed health podcasts in the country — and today she's bringing all of it to this show. **In this episode:** - Alex's viral $60 morning smoothie — every ingredient, the science behind each one, and whether it's actually setting her up for a blood sugar crash - Why glyphosate is lurking in places most people never consider: tampons, clothing, and baby products — and what $16 billion in Bayer settlements tell you about the "safe" science - The problem with polyester blankets, synthetic socks, and fast-fashion baby clothes — and why your skin absorbs what sits on it the same way your gut does - What really happened when Alex and her coalition were invited to a White House roundtable to confront the current administration's handling of glyphosate policy - The truth about freshly milled flour, sourdough, and why the last two weeks of ripening are when most of a food's nutrition actually develops - How to clean your air, replace your bedding, and swap your cleaning products — practical first steps that cost less than you think Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! →  http://mybloodwork.com *Disclaimer: The bloodwork our team runs at mybloodwork.com covers a handful of the biomarkers listed in the guide above — including critical thyroid and metabolic markers — plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor, but does NOT cover all 25.
