Key Takeaways:

Reducing Toxin Exposure: Environmental toxins, especially those found in plastics (like BPA) and petrochemicals, mimic natural hormones and can disrupt our endocrine system. Simple lifestyle changes, such as using glass containers, choosing BPA-free products, and opting for natural skincare, can significantly reduce toxin exposure.

Thermography for Breast Health: As a radiation-free alternative to mammograms, thermography offers a non-invasive way to monitor breast health. While it’s not a substitute for mammograms, it can be an additional tool for early detection and prevention.

Detoxification and Hormonal Balance: Sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli seeds, is highlighted as an effective way to detoxify the body and support hormonal balance by clearing harmful estrogens from the system.

Self-Education is Key: Patricia underscores the importance of being informed about the products we use in our daily lives, from cleaning supplies to cosmetics, and encourages listeners to consult resources like the Environmental Working Group (EWG) to find safer, non-toxic options.

Noteworthy Quote:

“Food and herbs are your medicine long before pharmaceuticals.”
