instead of making active decisions to start to live a less toxic life.

So you're starting to look through your products and getting rid of things that have endocrine disruptors in them.

You want to look... The kitchen is probably the greatest source of exposure for most people.

So there's really no need to have any plastics in your kitchen.

So getting rid of them.

But many people don't think about...

When you do have processed foods, the wrapping, the container, anything that's coming packaged likely has toxins in it.

When you order DoorDash and it comes and you have it in a container, that's often hot food in a container that is leaching chemicals into it.

So a simple thing is take it out of that right away, even if you're not eating it.

Put it into something glass or a different type of container so you can try to minimize that exposure.

Thinking about hot beverages, things that go in the microwave or the dishwasher especially, right?

But then other things like thermal receipts.

So getting receipts, thermal receipts have BPA in them.

So getting receipts or receipts.

Yeah.

So the airline tickets or that thermal paper.

So just the receipt from the grocery store when they say, Stephen, do you want your receipt?

You can just say no.

And then if you work with thermal paper, maybe you're a cashier and you touch it over and over.

I highly recommend you wear gloves because your exposure to that thermal paper is so much higher that it can become problematic for you.
