About this episode

Wendie Trubow, MD, MBA, IFM certified practitioner, is passionate about helping women optimize their health and lives as a functional medicine gynecologist. Through her struggles with mold and metal toxicity, Celiac disease, and other health issues, Trubow has developed a deep sense of compassion and expertise for what her patients are facing. 

She is the co-author of Dirty Girl: Ditch the Toxins, Look Great, and Feel Freaking Amazing and has been regularly featured in MindBodyGreen and Huffington Post.

She is an accomplished speaker and previously had her own television show. She is on the faculty at A4M and a speaker for their conferences, along with other national societies. She and her partner will be releasing their next book in 2024.

In today's episode, we discuss Dr. Trubow's journey with toxins herself, easy ways to categorize toxins, what to look out for, and how exactly you can make cleaner choices in all different areas of your life. We focus largely on the fact that it's NOT all-or-nothing! Living in today's world exposes us to a vast amount of toxins daily, but that doesn't mean that you can't make swaps here and there for an overall healthier life.
