6 Ways You're Being Poisoned Every Day (And What You Can Do About It)

Feeling tired, inflamed, breaking out, or just “off”? This might be why…

Most people don’t realize they’re being exposed to hundreds of chemicals every single day—from the water you drink to the makeup you wear, even the receipts you touch. These toxins don’t just disappear. They build up quietly over time, disrupting your skin, gut, hormones, immune system, and energy levels.

And worse? Many of them are known carcinogens—meaning they’ve been linked to increased cancer risk.

Here are 6 of the most common (and sneaky) ways you're being exposed to toxins every day—and how I can help you detox and reset your system.

1. Tap Water

Even if it looks clean, your water may contain:

  • Chlorine – kills gut bacteria and damages skin

  • Fluoride – linked to thyroid dysfunction

  • Heavy metals like lead and arsenic – both cancer-causing

  • Pharmaceutical residues – including hormone-disrupting drugs

Fix it: Invest in a high-quality water filter (Brita isn't enough). And don’t forget a shower filter—your skin absorbs what you bathe in.

2. Food Additives & Preservatives

Even so-called “healthy” foods often contain:

  • BHT/BHA – preservatives linked to cancer and hormone disruption

  • Artificial colors – associated with ADHD, behavior issues, and inflammation

  • MSG – an excitotoxin that can impact brain and gut health

Fix it: Learn to read labels—or let me teach you. I offer a free mini-course on how to decode food labels for clients and families.

3. PFAS (Forever Chemicals)

These never break down in the environment or in your body—and they’ve been linked to:

  • Cancer

  • Thyroid disease

  • Hormonal disruption

  • Infertility

  • Autoimmune disorders

Where they hide:

  • Microwave popcorn bags

  • Fast food wrappers and pizza boxes

  • Non-stick cookware

  • Waterproof makeup like mascara and concealer

Fix it: Ditch non-stick pans, switch to glass containers, and use verified clean beauty brands.

4. Toxic Body & Skincare Products

Your medicine cabinet might be filled with chemicals that:

  • Disrupt hormones (parabens, phthalates)

  • Trigger inflammation (synthetic fragrance)

  • Contribute to breast cancer risk (aluminum in deodorant)

Fix it: Switch to clean, low-tox personal care products. I share a vetted list with clients in my detox programs.

5. Medications & Over-the-Counter Drugs

Medications like NSAIDs, antibiotics, and antacids can:

  • Damage gut lining

  • Deplete minerals

  • Impair detox pathways

  • Contribute to chronic inflammation

Fix it: Don’t stop cold turkey—but if you’re relying on these regularly, it’s time to get to the root. I help clients support liver, kidney, and gut function naturally.

6. Air Fresheners, Candles & Household Cleaners

That “fresh scent” might actually be:

  • Formaldehyde

  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

  • Phthalates (all linked to hormone disruption and cancer)

Fix it: Use essential oils, vinegar-based cleaners, and air-purifying plants. I’ll walk you through low-tox swaps in my detox guide.
