Toxic Burden: Why the Dose Doesn’t Always Make the Poison We’ve all heard “the dose makes the poison”—but when it comes to toxins in our food, air, water, and products, it’s not just about one exposure—it’s about the constant accumulation over time. Your body has detox pathways, but if the burden is too high, your liver, gut, and lymphatic system can’t keep up. This leads to hormone imbalances, chronic fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, and inflammation. Small Changes = Big Results Want to lower your toxic load? Start here: ✅ Swap plastic for glass/stainless steel (BPA-free still contains toxins!) ✅ Filter your water (fluoride, chlorine, and heavy metals disrupt hormones) ✅ Ditch seed oils (canola, soybean, sunflower = oxidative stress) ✅ Choose organic for the Dirty Dozen (reduce pesticide exposure) ✅ Avoid synthetic fragrances (candles, air fresheners, and perfumes are full of endocrine disruptors) ✅ Check personal care products (parabens, phthalates, and formaldehyde are in lotions, shampoo & makeup) You don’t have to do everything at once, but every swap reduces the burden—and your body will thank you.
