106: How to Have a Non Toxic Summer with Dana Kay

Published: May 2, 2024, 3 a.m.

Summer is full of outdoor activities and memorable adventures. But it's also a time when our children are more exposed to various environmental toxins, like chlorine from swimming pools, chemicals in sunscreens, etc. These toxins can add a significant load to their bodies, exacerbating ADHD symptoms.

In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, discover how to have a non-toxic summer (and how to safely and effectively detox from any toxins your child might be exposed to).\xa0

Memorable Moments:

\u201dDuring the summer, children are often more active and spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, which, while very beneficial for kids with ADHD, also increases their exposure to various environmental toxins.\u201d

\u201dBecause children's bodies are still developing, they are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of chemical exposures. Their smaller size, higher rates of metabolism, and the fact that they're closer to the ground (where some toxins settle) further increase their risk.\u201d

\u201dThough chlorine isn\u2019t ideal, there are things you can do to help your\xa0 kids detox those chemicals before and after swimming.\u201d

\u201dYou can still use sunscreen but choose a cleaner brand and this will go a long way in reducing your child\u2019s overall toxic load!\u201d

\u201dIt\u2019s much easier to limit a child\u2019s toxic exposure when they\u2019re at home with us under our supervision, but many of our kids will also be going to summer camps so we need to think about this too.\u201c

\u201dThe goal is to support the body's natural detoxification processes, which include the liver, kidneys, digestive system, and skin, in a gentle and supportive way.\u201d

\u201dRemember, small tweaks can make a significant impact.\u201d
