The Checkup with Doctor Mike · Are Everyday Chemicals ACTUALLY Harming Your Health · 7 May 2025 podcast

Oh, I'm not sure if I would recommend it. I'm saying that I personally chose to do that because of these reasons. This is why. But there's no science behind those reasons. Well, there's not going to be science behind everything in life. Do you know who has to do the science? Scientists. Well, no, you have to raise money. Scientists have to do the science.

So it's a great question. So they're pulling from a lot of the same data, from what I understand, is they're using some of the ATDSR I can't even remember what the acronym is, but basically it's the chemical data that they have found from MSDS forms as well. And they've put it along with epidemiologic studies, animal studies, occupational studies of these exposures.

So they're combining what is given to them by the manufacturing of these chemicals along with studies that are not shared by manufacturing, which is how these play out. in real life situations, be it animal or human studies. So they're combining a lot more information to give to those, you know, to add to those recommendations. And so it is what we have. It is not perfect, but it is what we have.

Is this a situation where, because... There are so many chemicals. Like, for example, I'm going to do a patient situation. It's a big topic. So a patient comes into my office, says, Doctor, I want to live the healthiest life possible. Tell me what chemicals I need to get rid of.

Great.

I would love to answer that one. Based on that and based on the information that's been provided today, I think the answer to that patient is, I don't know, put your focus elsewhere.

Yes.

Is that fair for me to say? That's what you got from this conversation today?

Well, because there's...

It's too broad of a topic to be able to make a statement that is broad brush.

So let me answer that question because I really want to tell you what I actually tell my patients, just like you have patients and I have plenty of patients myself. What I always talk about is what are the highest yield changes that make the most sense?

Correct.

Okay, highest yield.

That's very reasonable.

So what are we exposed to the most? What we breathe. Right? So maybe you don't want to have so many synthetic chemicals in your home, which is economically sealed.

But your broad brushing synthetic chemicals now is bad.

Was meinst du? Weil du sagst, du willst keine Synthetik trinken. Weißt du, wenn du puren Öl trinkst, würdest du sterben? Du weißt nicht, wenn du puren Öl trinkst, würdest du sterben? Du weißt, wenn du puren Öl trinkst, würdest du sterben? But what third party academic testing is showing, and by the way, they have to fund their own studies.

So we don't have money free flowing to do every study on every chemical that could potentially be harmful. Which is why the argument, at least the messaging I want to give, is that because we can't have more of these academic third party unbiased studies.

We should say, I don't know.

Well, we should say, let's be thoughtful. I don't think we don't say just roll around in them. It's more to be thoughtful. So when I think about what I tell patients, It's not complicated. I simply say, think about, as you said, unprocessed foods is one area that we now know plenty of study.
