If you’ve been feeling off lately, fatigued, bloated, struggling with hormones, or just sensing your body’s overloaded, this episode is for you. Forever chemicals/PFAs are hiding in your cookware, water, cosmetics, and even your clothes, quietly disrupting hormones, thyroid function, fertility, and metabolism. The good news? You can start detoxing them safely and naturally.

In this episode I’m sharing:

What PFAs/forever chemicals are and where they’re hiding in your home
How they impact hormones, fertility, and thyroid health, and the symptoms that might be your first clues
The most common sources of exposure and how to start removing them
My exact steps to detox PFAs safely: reduce exposure, bind toxins, and support your liver, gut, and detox pathways
The surprising food that helps eliminate PFAs and how to prepare it for the biggest benefit
Mushrooms’ role in eliminating PFAs
How to choose quality mushrooms (and what testing to look for so you actually get the detox benefits)
The importance of filtering your water—because if you’re not filtering it, you’re the filter
Key nutrients that support detox: vitamin C, protein, milk thistle, and dandelion root

You don’t have to change everything overnight. Start with one thing, like your cookware, your water, or your skincare, and you’ll already be helping your body release what it’s been holding on to. This episode will give you the tools to start detoxing forever chemicals safely and naturally, one small change at a time.
