Forever Chemicals Detox (Part 2): From Red Flags to Resilience: How to Protect Your Health","description":"Part 2 of the Forever Chemicals Detox 101 series Rates of many chronic health conditions have changed dramatically over recent decades. Genetics alone can\u2019t explain changes that happen that quickly\u2014which is one reason researchers continue to study the role of our environments, behaviors, and everyday exposures. In this episode, I introduce environmental exposures\u2014including certain chemicals, heavy metals, and PFAS, or \u201cforever chemicals\u201d\u2014as one part of that larger picture. I also share some of the health trends that first pushed me to start asking questions nearly twenty years ago, and how those questions eventually led to eight years of research and writing A to Z of D-Toxing. In this episode:   Why changing population health trends led me to look more closely at our everyday environments   Where chemicals, heavy metals, and PFAS may fit into the broader picture of health   Why environmental exposures are worth understanding without assuming they explain everything   Three practical ways to begin reducing exposures at home   I don\u2019t think the useful question is whether our environments explain every troubling health trend. They don\u2019t. The more useful question is: What role might they play\u2014and what can we reasonably do with what we know? This is Part 2 of my Forever Chemicals Detox 101 series.
