Main Points From Today\u2019s Episode

  1. An accumulation of toxins can overload your body's ability to get rid of toxins in a timely manner. That high toxic load plays a role in many chronic issues, including weight gain, cancer, neurodegenerative conditions, and autoimmune disease.
  2. The principle behind fat-soluble toxins triggering weight gain is: dilution is the solution to pollution. That means if your body is toxic, it will naturally try to dilute that toxic load by creating more fat cells to diminish the toxic effect.
  3. When it comes to reducing your toxic load, Dr. Carnahan has a simple, yet effective strategy regarding intake: clean air, clean water, and clean food. 80% of our toxic load is from the air supply, which is why it\u2019s important to get air filters in your home and workplace.
