You can get rid of plastics and especially what you're putting hot foods and beverages in because the heat is allowing those toxins to leak into those things.

And then as Dr. Haber said, our cosmetics, things that you use every single day that you put in and on your body,

are things that you're having a higher exposure to.

And it's really important to decrease those because things like air quality, you might not have as much control over based on where you live.

And there's so many toxins in our world in general that it's unrealistic to say, let's avoid all of them.

And because of this, we have that same mentality that we see with exercise sometimes.

Well, it's just, there's too many.

I can't avoid them all.

So I will ignore this category because it's easier to just do nothing.

Mm-hmm.

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.
