Chances are you have a substantial amount of toxic glyphosate in your body.

Glyphosate is a herbicide used to kill weeds. It has also been linked to serious health issues like:

• Cancer
• Gastrointestinal issues
• Hormone imbalance
• Immune system dysfunction
• Liver and kidney problems
• Mitochondrial DNA damage

Sadly, glyphosate is hard to avoid given how often it’s used. Foods associated with the highest levels of glyphosate include:

• Non-organic fruits and vegetables
• Corn-based products
• Soy-based products
• Bread and baked goods
• Breakfast cereals
• Processed food
• Seed oils like vegetable/canola oil

Organic farming prohibits the use of glyphosate, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any glyphosate residue on your food. Plus, you can still be exposed to glyphosate through your skin and particles in the air.

If you’re struggling with any of the conditions above, it may be worth considering getting tested for glyphosate toxicity. This is something I can do right here in my clinic. Reach out if you’re interested in learning more.

Years ago my wife and I had our tap water tested, and what we learned will surprise you…

The rep told us our water was technically considered “safe” by our city’s standards, but it certainly wasn’t clean by any means…

The reality is there’s an increasing number of toxins in our water supply. The vast majority of these chemicals are not regulated, so even when the government says your water is “safe,” it can still contain harmful contaminants. In fact, many U.S. cities have chemicals in their water supplies that exceed established health guidelines.

So, what can you do to reduce your toxic load?

1. Assess your body’s toxic burden — If your water is toxic, it’s going to be difficult to achieve optimal health. Toxins can overwhelm your liver and get stored in your fat cells and brain, which can lead to a whole slew of health problems. That’s why I recommend regular muscle testing, blood work and/or urine samples to assess your body’s toxic load. Then, you can invest in a targeted functional medicine detox to clean up your body.
2. Invest in a clean water system — One of the best ways to reduce toxic exposure is to ensure you have clean water in your home. In our house, we not only have a water softener and RO system, but we also invested in a distiller for our drinking water.

Distillation is the most effective process for purifying water. It removes 99.9% of contaminants. Essentially, the process adds heat to tap water, turning it into water vapor and leaving any junk behind in the boiling chamber. Then, the pure water vapor rises and is moved into a separate chamber where it’s cooled back into liquid.

Parasites are extremely common, and they can live dormant for years without symptoms. When they do, it’s usually the ones above.

You can get parasites from:

• Soil/dirt
• Pets
• Lakes, rivers and creeks
• Raw fish (sushi) and undercooked meat
• Pork
• Tap water
• International travel

In addition to practicing proper hygiene, it’s a good idea to avoid foods that feed parasites like processed carbs and sugar. Parasites cannot survive without a steady supply of sugar, which triggers sugar and carb cravings in the host.

Parasites are also more active during a full moon, so if you notice symptoms during this time, you can probably benefit from a cleanse.

You may think it’s just a little bit, but that “little bit” can add up and cause serious health issues.

When toxins overload your body, your immune system becomes suppressed, making you more susceptible to viruses, parasites and other pathogens.

Swapping out common household products for safer alternatives is one way to reduce your toxic load and improve your overall health. But it’s also important to support your body’s natural drainage and detox pathways.

In my clinic, I use muscle testing and blood work to identify the root cause of patients’ ailments and address their health issues head-on. You’d be surprised how often environmental factors come up.

For example, I often see patients who think gluten and/or processed dairy are causing their gut issues. While these may not be helping, I usually find that glyphosate toxicity and/or parasites are to blame. Once we get them on a personalized detox protocol — which always includes a binder to safely pull the toxins from the body — they start feeling better.
