Tune in to our radio show on your local public radio station, or sign up for the podcast and listen at your leisure. Here’s what it’s about:
How does our exposure to the environment affect our health? Medicine is beginning to recognize that what we eat, the air we breathe and the water we drink are all intimately connected to our health.
Endocrine disrupters such as BPA and phthalates may be found in medical products in the hospital as well as in food or beverage containers in our homes. How can we minimize our exposure to these compounds? (You can check the website at Environmental Working Group for skin care recommendations. There’s also a pdf on BPA and phthalates by the numbers.)
Find out how the standard American diet (yes, it’s SAD) might be improved, and why we should be paying attention to our individual microbiomes.
