This podcast was developed to spread the word about the latest interventions, beyond the traditional approach and how best to tackle and reverse disease. I interview thought-leaders who at the cutting edge of their practice and passionate about improving health.

Hi everyone! Welcome to our show notes for Episode #2 of The Enlightened Pharmacist.

Why environmental toxins can cause havoc to your health?

Are you or anyone in your family being exposed to toxic chemicals? (hint yes).

The toxic load is high in our food, water, and environment, and can cause sickness in us, our children, and future generations. In this podcast, my guest Nicole Bijlsma gives simple tips on how to reduce your toxic load by eating organic foods, getting a water filter, taking off your shoes at the door, buying only what you need and more!

Nicole is the CEO and founder of the Australian College of Environmental Studies (est.1999) which was established to educate people about the health hazards in the built environment.

Her book, Healthy Home, Healthy Family, An Essential Guide for Every Home

Is a great resource for anyone interested in cleaning up their habitat, any unknown toxins and is an essential resource to those thinking of starting a family, buying a new house or who have allergies.

In this episode, you will discover:

  • Nicole’s health crisis (miscarriages and electromagnetic fields, her unhealthy home) and how she transformed her life of struggle to one of impact and purpose
  • Environmental exposures and impact on future generations
  • Importance of maintaining a diverse microbiome/healthy gut microflora
  • Precautionary principles regarding sunscreens and tattoos
  • Simple changes you can make to help reduce your toxic load. (Buy seasonal/local organic food, use a water filter, take off your shoes before entering the house)
  • If you are stuck in your health journey, learn more about the impact of your environment on her website or consult her accredited building biologists
