Hormone Expert: 3 Things I'd NEVER Put On My Body · Non-Toxic Living

• 0:00
  You have something you call your three Ps.
• 0:02
  So what are the three most toxic personal care ingredients you need to avoid?
• 0:06
  Some of the biggest ones I'm concerned about, especially in my practice, are my women that are dealing with a lot of different hormone issues.
• 0:13
  They're trying to get pregnant.
• 0:14
  Literally on the doors of these places that you go for IVF,
• 0:17
  You can't wear anything with toxicants in it.
• 0:20
  You can not wear perfume, cologne.
• 0:23
  They don't want the phthalates in there.
• 0:24
  I literally went over stats yesterday of the drastic reduction in success in IVF treatments with phthalates specifically.
• 0:31
  So they're putting these things in the tampons and that's fine.
• 0:34
  But if you're trying to go through an IVF treatment, then nothing's allowed.
• 0:37
  They know they know that it affects their outcome.
• 0:44
  Alyssa, thank you so much for joining us on the Non-Toxic Living podcast.
• 0:49
  We become good friends.
• 0:50
  We're both speaking at an event right now.
• 0:52
  We've met at up a couple other events, and you are a master in a lot of the similar areas where I'm at.
• 0:58
  And you have this amazing female perspective where I'm like, non-toxic dad, like, don't do any of this stuff.
• 1:05
  And you have a more realistic view as a woman of what toxins are a no go.
• 1:11
  As a matter of fact, you have something you call your three Ps.
• 1:15
  So what are the three most toxic personal care ingredients you need to avoid?
• 1:20
  Yeah, so I think that that could always be up for debate when you're looking at the effects of a lot of different ingredient categories.
• 1:26
  You can say, okay, are they endocrine disrupting?
• 1:28
  Are they carcinogenic or cancer-carzing?
• 1:31
  What is manifesting, right?
• 1:32
  So I don't want to say that this is absolute, but some of the biggest ones I'm concerned about, especially in my practice, are PFAS, so those forever chemicals that can last in your body up to 15 years for some of these compounds,
• 1:44
  the phthalates and the parabens.
• 1:46
  So especially for my women that are dealing with a lot of different hormone issues, they're trying to get pregnant.
• 1:51
  There's issues with infertility or just, you know, menses issues in general.
• 1:56
  And then any type of, you know, cancer causing ingredients are clearly a concern as well.
• 2:01
  But because of the studies that are linked to those metabolites specifically, those are the ones I really dial in on.
• 2:07
  And a lot of them are pretty easy to be able to identify on labels.
• 2:10
  So that's the three P's, phthalates, parabens, and PFAS.
• 2:14
  Yes.
• 2:15
  That's beautiful.
• 2:15
  Well said.
• 2:16
  So you said they're easy to identify.
• 2:20
  So how can, like, because PFAS can hide as a lot of different things.
• 2:24
  So tell us about that.
• 2:26
  PFAS is one of the most concerning ones for me, but it is one of the hardest ones to be able to detect.
• 2:31
  When you're looking at phthalates and parabens, they're a lot easier.
• 2:34
  It's kind of in the name.
• 2:35
  Yes, yes.
• 2:36
  Except for when you're looking at the phthalate side of things, it can end up hiding within fragrances.
• 2:42
  So you do have to watch that.
• 2:43
  Like it will not be straight on the label.
• 2:45
  Well, if it's fragrance, get rid of it anyway.
• 2:47
  Yeah.
• 2:47
  And, you know, sometimes you can email the company and say, you know, it depends on how you want to communicate with them.
• 2:52
  But a lot of times you have to do deeper digging.
• 2:54
  You have to be able to reach out and get the company to verify or ask for like a COA or something along those lines.
• 2:59
  But, yeah, with PFAS, I'd say my biggest like hard no red flag is going to be if something is like sweat proof or waterproof immediately.
• 3:09
  It's over.
• 3:09
  That is an issue.
• 3:10
  Yeah.
• 3:11
  Yes, absolutely.
• 3:12
  I'm going to back up just a little bit because we didn't we didn't introduce you like, hey, you're my friend.
• 3:17
  And, you know, biohacking bombshell is your handle.
• 3:21
  Yes, it is.
• 3:22
  And you're doing such great work.
• 3:25
  What got you into this integrative health space?
• 3:27
  Yeah.
• 3:28
  I mean, I grew up seeing my dad really sick.
• 3:31
  He got diagnosed with cancer when I was around eight years old.
• 3:33
  So I started to value health at that point.
• 3:36
  But, you know, I went through my own desire to just be like, how could I look as great as I wanted to?
• 3:43
  I was always into like working out and into aesthetics, not to sound vain, but I liked working out and I took pride in my appearance.
• 3:50
  Amen.
• 3:50
  Let's go.
• 3:51
  How do you focus on the different areas of health to achieve that?
• 3:55
  So it started definitely as like foundational.
• 3:58
  And then I had been forced to get really nitty gritty with how to be able to optimize your health when I got diagnosed with Lyme disease.
• 4:06
  And I realized, oh, my gosh, I've been living in mold my entire life and then especially in college and had a lot of like chronic health issues develop for many years.
• 4:14
  But yeah.
• 4:15
  Different phases, different depths of being dedicated to how non-toxic I wanted to be or how I wanted to live my life based off of where my health was at that time.
• 4:24
  But all different spectrums that I've been on in this journey.
• 4:27
  Well, then this brings up the topic.
• 4:29
  Yeah.
• 4:30
  Botox, fillers, implants.
• 4:32
  They a hard no.
• 4:33
  I think you have to look at each one of those individually.
• 4:36
  So the presentation that I ended up giving yesterday at this conference that we're at was really going through each different area that a lot of women want to be able to indulge in.
• 4:44
  So we talked about personal care products, we talked about hair, we talked about nails, we talked about lash extensions, and then we talked about Botox fillers, breast implants.
• 4:52
  And the reality is you have a lot of clients that if they're not in a space where they're really sick
• 4:59
  And this was me at one point where I'm like, I will get rid of everything.
• 5:03
  I will throw out every single product.
• 5:05
  I will stop any practice that was relatively toxic because that's how dedicated I was to getting well.
• 5:11
  And it just, nothing was worth it to me.
• 5:13
  Sometimes you get to a point where you're in a really good healthy spot and you are equipped with the tools and the resources to know how you can better buffer some of the stressors from these exposures.
• 5:22
  And you're like, I live once here on this side of heaven.
• 5:25
  Like I just want to be able to,
• 5:27
  Maybe enjoy a gel medicure or I want to be able to go and get my hair highlighted two to three times a year.
• 5:32
  How do I go and do that?
• 5:34
  And so when it comes to breast implants, you know, if I have some clients that will say, I want to get these, I've already made that decision.
• 5:42
  Is there a lower tox whey?
• 5:44
  to be able to do it.
• 5:45
  I will say a thousand percent would need to be saline.
• 5:47
  It's a non-negotiable.
• 5:48
  The surgeon will try and convince you silicone looks so much better.
• 5:52
  It's just the better fit.
• 5:53
  And I'm like with the amount of gel bleed that happens and the volume of silicone that's in that for me, it would be a hard no.
• 5:59
  So if you need to get them done, I would be doing the saline, especially if you have women that are like, unfortunately, you know, double mastectomies, because that's what they chose to do after getting breast cancer diagnosis.
• 6:09
  And I'm like,
• 6:10
  Gosh, if we can reduce the load that is right there, that's what I would be doing and getting saline.
• 6:15
  So treating those scars, getting better lymphatic flow, fascia is a bit healthier with neural therapy, different things like that.
• 6:22
  And then overall, lymphatic techniques, drainage support, that would be how I would go and try and mitigate some of the toxicity there.
• 6:30
  Filler, it can migrate.
• 6:33
  I think it's a little less severe than Botox.
• 6:37
  You know, when you're looking at the number one and two procedures that are non-surgical, it is Botox number one and filler number two.
• 6:44
  So, you know, when we're looking at the volume of procedures that are done, Botox definitely like takes the cake.
• 6:50
  I think filler has less risks.
• 6:53
  But Botox for me, I just like I wish I kind of didn't know what I know, because I always thought, oh, when I get to that point, yeah, I will do that.
• 7:00
  And then I went down the rabbit hole about five, six years ago with this.
• 7:04
  And it's not like just being able to say, here's a heavy metal.
• 7:08
  Let's just chelate it from the system.
• 7:09
  You're just going to pull it out.
• 7:11
  That is not how this toxin works.
• 7:13
  For me, it's a hard no.
• 7:15
  And the risk that you have, whether you're getting it the first time or whether you've been getting this for a decade plus and on that 10th year in that injection from the same injector, nothing was different.
• 7:24
  You get botulinum toxin A poisoning.
• 7:28
  You're going to have a problem because it's not just let's just address that bacteria and pull it out.
• 7:33
  You are now having to repair the cellular damage at that nerve receptor.
• 7:37
  You are having to it can go systemic.
• 7:39
  So you're trying to figure out what other areas are affected.
• 7:41
  It's huge.
• 7:42
  hugely disrupting the nervous system.
• 7:44
  So for me, it's just not worth it.
• 7:46
  So there's things that I could do as the aftermath, but I don't have as much like, hey, this is going to help to mitigate the toxicity there.
• 7:52
  It just doesn't work like that.
• 7:54
  That's not how the mechanism operates.
• 7:56
  So if it breaks, you're in trouble.
• 7:59
  Yeah.
• 8:00
  Yeah.
• 8:01
  Because really the only way that you can get the antitoxin that they have for any type of botulism is if it's food based.
• 8:07
  Yeah.
• 8:08
  So if you would get that from like bad canned meat, which is essentially like how this toxin was really discovered.
• 8:15
  Yes.
• 8:15
  Then you qualify.
• 8:16
  You're using this because you don't want to have crow's feet.
• 8:20
  you're looking at what the average amount is like a 30,000 plus ER operational visit when you're looking at the amount that a lot of Botox experts have gone and estimated ends up being when all is said and done with trying to balance the damage.
• 8:38
  Yeah, it's a scary one.
• 8:39
  I mean, it's one of those, you know, acceptable risks that people are taking.
• 8:43
  But there is a lot of research saying that not even just getting –
• 8:50
  toxicity from it, not getting a full blown poisoning from it.
• 8:54
  It's the, what it's doing to your nervous system, what it's doing to your hormonal system.
• 8:58
  It is an insult every time you put that in, you're literally poisoning yourself, a small micro poison in a small area, but that does build up.
• 9:06
  It's another insult on the body, but again, you know, acceptable for some, not acceptable for others.
• 9:12
  I love it.
• 9:12
  It's our choice, right?
• 9:14
  And our choices lead us places.
• 9:15
  We just have to know what we are saying yes to.
• 9:18
  One of the biggest issues with Botox that I see is just like breast implants, it has a black box warning label.
• 9:24
  Does it mean that some of the risks in there are going to happen to everyone?
• 9:27
  No.
• 9:28
  There's genetic predispositions.
• 9:29
  There's how high your toxic load already is.
• 9:31
  How much can your body handle?
• 9:33
  But they don't see that.
• 9:34
  And it's in the paperwork.
• 9:36
  So someone may end up seeing that before they get breast implant procedure or before they go and get Botox.
• 9:42
  But if you ask them about that, it is so downplayed that people think it's basically irrelevant.
• 9:50
  Like they're like, if this happened just one time, we have to put it here.
• 9:53
  And so people are like, this can never happen to me.
• 9:55
  I'm not going to get botulism.
• 9:57
  I'm not going to have breast implant associated issues.
• 10:00
  And that's just not guaranteed.
• 10:02
  But the big issue with Botox is they are gaslighting all of these patients that are like, I started to develop XYZ.
• 10:10
  I think this may be associated.
• 10:12
  And if it's not immediately where it was injected, if it's not location associated symptom, or if it's not immediately 24 to 72 hours after they get that done, they are gaslit.
• 10:24
  Detox.
• 10:24
  We talk a lot about that on this podcast, but I'm here to tell you detox is probably one of the biggest lies in health industry.
• 10:32
  And let me tell you what that lie is.
• 10:34
  When you have symptoms, that means the detox tea, the detox package, the detox cleanse is working.
• 10:41
  Well, that's a lie.
• 10:43
  It's actually the opposite.
• 10:44
  It means it's not working.
• 10:46
  It means it's stirring up toxins like dust in a home and redistributing those toxins inside of your body, potentially causing more hormone dysregulation, inflammation, the headaches, the gut disturbances.
• 10:58
  That is not true detoxification.
• 11:00
  I taught doctors for 18 years what true detoxification means.
• 11:04
  should look like that's why i put together a video of what i used to teach these doctors and more and you can grab that video watch it right now at non-toxic dad.com backslash answers and this happens with lots of things in the industry yeah vaccines being one of them you know i don't really want to go down that road but they're like oh it wasn't that it wasn't that i don't know how many moms when we had our
• 11:26
  clinic, how many moms said that?
• 11:28
  And all the doctors said, no way, it couldn't be, it couldn't be, it couldn't be, it couldn't be.
• 11:33
  This is a mom.
• 11:34
  Listen to the mom.
• 11:36
  She's not crazy.
• 11:37
  That's one of the things that gets me most upset about the medical community, right?
• 11:42
  And-
• 11:43
  It's great.
• 11:44
  I have lots of medical doctor friends, both in the natural side and the unnatural side.
• 11:49
  The lady next to me does all kinds of aesthetics and skincare and stem cells and Botox and fillers.
• 11:55
  And we're still friends.
• 11:57
  You know, she looks like that's what she does.
• 12:00
  And she's into it.
• 12:01
  And she looks great.
• 12:02
  You know, she's a wonderful person.
• 12:03
  And so I have these great relationships.
• 12:06
  I'm not gaslighting people who think of things different than I do.
• 12:09
  But you...
• 12:11
  It's sad to me to think just because you went to college, you're brighter than a mom who's like, wait a minute, I know this to be true.
• 12:18
  Because we have more than five senses.
• 12:20
  Like we're taught that.
• 12:23
  That's why we like to homeschool, because we teach our kids what we can feel.
• 12:26
  We have a spiritual side to us.
• 12:29
  There's like all these things.
• 12:31
  And we're not experiencing the world because we're saying it's just five senses.
• 12:34
  If I say that's yellow, I've just limited you.
• 12:37
  If I say that's green, I just limited you.
• 12:40
  If I say that's a leaf, I just limited you.
• 12:43
  Like experience what that is.
• 12:45
  Let's not just give it a label of a color.
• 12:47
  There's lots of different shades.
• 12:48
  And our brain is not able to fully experience the beauty of God's creation because we've labeled everything.
• 12:55
  Everything's compartmentalized.
• 12:56
  We're basically taught that our intuition is irrelevant.
• 12:59
  This is the person that went to school for this.
• 13:01
  So who are you to question anything?
• 13:04
  And it's like, oh, it's correlation, but it's not causation.
• 13:07
  And we have to stop looking at things like that, especially things that have, like Botox, delayed spread or delayed toxin lead.
• 13:14
  I'm a triple bird certified dermatologist.
• 13:16
  Who are you to question what I know?
• 13:18
  Yeah.
• 13:19
  Right, do you know how good my grades are?
• 13:21
  Do you know like how well respected I am?
• 13:24
  Do you know that I've done research on this stuff?
• 13:26
  Like this is what you get back and you're like, whoa, I didn't just ego right out of the gate.
• 13:30
  And I'm like,
• 13:31
  Well, maybe, like even when it comes to toxicity, like this is what I studied in school.
• 13:35
  I studied the binding of heavy metals in natural environments.
• 13:38
  Like I'm not easily fooled.
• 13:39
  I know how to read literature.
• 13:41
  And I'm like, well, maybe, maybe, you know, could you read this, you know?
• 13:46
  But it's like, no way, because I'm not as smart as you, because I didn't go to school as long.
• 13:49
  And I know there's a lot of sacrifice, you know, probably sacrifice relationships, family.
• 13:54
  Sure.
• 13:54
  You know, all kinds of things.
• 13:55
  And I respect that.
• 13:56
  It's a lot of work.
• 13:57
  But maybe a mom...
• 14:00
  has some value too.
• 14:01
  Yeah.
• 14:02
  The most powerful human on this planet that is the literal fabric and web that holds America and the world together.
• 14:10
  Maybe, just maybe, she knows what she's talking about too.
• 14:14
  And maybe you should listen to her.
• 14:15
  Maybe you should give her the time.
• 14:17
  Maybe you should open your heart up and be like, you know what?
• 14:20
  Let me look into that for you.
• 14:22
  I think the world would be a better place if we start listening to mom's intuition.
• 14:25
  Yeah.
• 14:26
  Yeah, moms.
• 14:27
  And then, of course, when you're they're trying to advocate for a little one that can't advocate for themselves, we're being taught like we're directly feeling it.
• 14:35
  We can actually see what's going on and we're taught not to trust ourselves, let alone.
• 14:38
  It's even harder when you have a mom and a child and she is, you know, trying to be the communicator and convey what the child's going through.
• 14:46
  But, yeah, absolutely.
• 14:47
  You can look at it on so many levels of how this manifests in the medical space.
• 14:50
  To wrap up this talking, we're going to get back into more personal care hacks here and things that people can do that's good for their skin.
• 14:56
  I think that the point is here, just because a dermatologist recommended it or a medical doctor recommended it doesn't mean it's safe.
• 15:07
  Dermatologist recommended doesn't mean it's non-toxic because as a matter of fact, 50% of the ingredients in most traditional skincare products that you'll pick up at Costco or at Walmart are around 50% petroleum-based toxins that are hormone disruptive, that are carcinogenic, many of them, and we're told that it's safe.
• 15:32
  No.
• 15:33
  It's not safe, it has a consequence, and it's sometimes the same price as the natural things, but they're making a way bigger margin, and they're doing it at a higher volume, and they're making more money off of you.
• 15:49
  So don't listen to them that it's safe, it's marketing,
• 15:53
  you could do natural things that are sometimes less expensive.
• 15:56
  I mean, I'd rather see you slathering olive oil on your face than using CeraVe, hands down.
• 16:02
  Would it work as well?
• 16:03
  Maybe, maybe not.
• 16:05
  But at least you're not poisoning yourself on the daily.
• 16:07
  There's so many options there.
• 16:08
  And it's not even just the toxicity side of things, Warren.
• 16:11
  On top of that, it's also the fact that when you get these feedbacks from a dermatologist and they're like, this is going to be the best thing for your skin.
• 16:18
  I see this with my clients with acne all the time.
• 16:21
  it doesn't mean it's non-comedogenic.
• 16:23
  So it is literally clogging your pores.
• 16:25
  It's not even just the ingredients of like cleanliness or not.
• 16:28
  It's, is it going to be a pore clogging ingredient, which is going to further manifest your body's ability to be able to clear toxins or be able to breathe.
• 16:35
  It's affecting your skin barrier.
• 16:37
  So there's so many different layers to that.
• 16:39
  So then dermatologists are looked at kind of like the gold standard and I'm like, I respect what they do.
• 16:44
  And you know, the knowledge that they have.
• 16:46
  Yeah, they help people feel good in their own skin and can really help their psychology.
• 16:50
  Yeah, but it's definitely not the end all be all.
• 16:52
  And there is room for the functional space and deeper like root cause variables, a cleanliness of different ingredients and how they interact with your skin barrier that it's not as black and white as they make it seem.
• 17:05
  So do not slog Vaseline all over your face.
• 17:09
  It's a thing.
• 17:10
  Why wouldn't you want to do that?
• 17:11
  Why wouldn't you want to just cover your face in Vaseline and all these influencers are saying that it's amazing for your skin?
• 17:18
  I mean, you and I already know the petroleum base.
• 17:20
  We could go down a total ride.
• 17:21
  Well, tell them why.
• 17:22
  Tell them why.
• 17:23
  This is something that I know that you're going to be able to convey way better and more powerfully for that particular industry.
• 17:30
  So it does a number of different things.
• 17:32
  It doesn't absorb into your skin because your skin is your largest organ and it feeds everything.
• 17:37
  You're feeding your skin, you're getting nutrients, it's protecting you.
• 17:40
  It's a very important part of your body.
• 17:42
  And we kind of ignore that.
• 17:43
  And we do things to it based on what we see on Instagram,
• 17:48
  what celebrities are doing.
• 17:50
  And we're buying into a culture that's taking us further away from God and nature, right?
• 17:56
  But in the Egyptian times, and then the natural health people kind of use those terms like, this Egyptian, you know, Cleopatra ingredient.
• 18:06
  So, you know, there's that side.
• 18:07
  So it's not just... That's true.
• 18:08
  So it's not just CeraVe, you know?
• 18:10
  Yeah, yeah.
• 18:11
  It's also the natural health, you know, skincare, like overselling what they are.
• 18:15
  But in general, they use plants and natural oils, right?
• 18:19
  And essential oils and all these different things.
• 18:21
  And they looked great, right?
• 18:23
  I went to Africa, right?
• 18:25
  And I went into the bush and I met a tribe that came down that was been, came down and was kind of cultured a bit, been a year and then one that was just coming out of the mountains because of a drought.
• 18:38
  and why we went in there, and this will close this loop, but the reason we went in there is because we were stopping World Vision from giving them grain, and we let them get grains and rice and all this stuff that, because they were starving, because they were thin, but they know how to live off the land.
• 18:56
  They're tribal.
• 18:57
  Yes, they're eating elephant.
• 18:58
  Yes, they're raising their own goats.
• 18:59
  Yes, they're eating masal berry and baobab fruit and all the things from nature.
• 19:03
  So they're connected, literally connected to nature,
• 19:09
  you know, punch into that nonprofit.
• 19:11
  I'm not punching down on it, but wake up.
• 19:13
  You know, if they're connected to nature and they come in and they teach them the gospel and like we got them and now we're going to give you food and do all this stuff and they're all happy.
• 19:22
  We're going to build your school, all these wonderful things, but then they get sick.
• 19:26
  Yeah.
• 19:27
  and diabetes comes in, things that they didn't have.
• 19:30
  And these children, their teeth, because they're breastfed, beautiful palates, gorgeous.
• 19:35
  Anyone would, you gotta go to Dr. Jerry Caratola and you gotta pay about $100,000 for that mouth or more.
• 19:41
  And they get it.
• 19:43
  Their skin, perfect.
• 19:44
  Not one drop of acne.
• 19:47
  Their memory.
• 19:48
  I could teach them English like this.
• 19:50
  Their brains are so alive, right?
• 19:52
  Because they're living, it's like homeschool on steroids.
• 19:57
  You're doing homeschool, you think you're doing your kids good, and I believe that you are.
• 20:00
  But imagine them learning, and all the studies show that.
• 20:05
  that if you're doing active learning and learning in an environment, it's so much better.
• 20:09
  So their skin is perfect.
• 20:11
  Their smile is perfect.
• 20:12
  Their memory, their energy.
• 20:14
  These kids don't go out for runs every day, but they're literally chasing our...
• 20:20
  you know, four-wheel drive vehicle for 10 miles and laughing and running.
• 20:24
  And we're like, holy cow.
• 20:26
  And then you give them just a soccer ball because they're using, you know, a pig gut or a bunch of rags, but they're healthy.
• 20:35
  They're connected to family.
• 20:36
  They're connected to nature and they don't need any skincare.
• 20:39
  Kids don't need skincare, specifically kids, but I'm talking about the hundred year old lady.
• 20:44
  She's wrinkled and beautiful.
• 20:46
  Her skin is still soft and supple.
• 20:48
  It's wrinkled.
• 20:49
  She's a hundred plus years old.
• 20:51
  They're like, we don't even know how old she is.
• 20:53
  She's just been alive forever.
• 20:55
  Yeah.
• 20:55
  I mean this, so this is, so there's these centenarians that they're not talking about and know what they ate?
• 21:01
  Nature.
• 21:02
  That's it.
• 21:02
  Yeah.
• 21:03
  And they're beautiful.
• 21:03
  And she has all of her teeth.
• 21:05
  Right.
• 21:06
  And so sometimes, but if you're in poverty and you're back in the city and they're living off the dumps, yes, World Vision.
• 21:12
  Yeah.
• 21:13
  Great job.
• 21:13
  Yeah.
• 21:14
  Right.
• 21:14
  So that's the loop that I'm trying to close.
• 21:16
  Get back to Vaseline.
• 21:17
  It's going to literally stop, especially if your face is dirty, it's going to lock in all those toxins.
• 21:23
  You can't sweat.
• 21:24
  It's a permanent barrier.
• 21:26
  It does clog your pores.
• 21:28
  It can be contaminated a lot of the times because it is a toxic substance.
• 21:32
  It's crude oil that they distill it down.
• 21:35
  It was a waste product, right?
• 21:36
  And then I believe...
• 21:39
  what happened is the oil workers were using it and putting on their skin and they noticed that it protected them from something is the story and then now we have vaseline yeah and everyone's using it right it's toxic period end of story don't put it on your skin alissa you said the vajayjay is like a giant mouth you gotta tell us about that
• 21:59
  This is something that I really emphasize to all of my female patients.
• 22:03
  And whenever I'm talking to a practitioner and you're working with females, when you're looking at what personal care products you are dialing in on the most that matter, that you want to swap, that you want to pay the most attention to, and that have a huge impact on overall health.
• 22:18
  The vagina is something that has up to 10x absorption when it comes to any topical substance on it.
• 22:27
  So when you are looking at body washes, if someone's using a vaginal wash, it's the head of your razor, you know, the different PFAS filled strips and stuff that are on those.
• 22:37
  When you're looking at lubricants, when you're looking at condoms, when you are looking at any type of tampon, menstrual cup.
• 22:45
  pads, panty liners, any type of period underwear.
• 22:50
  We've seen a lot of different lawsuits around PFAS and period underwear because you don't want them to leak and they're leak proof.
• 22:56
  These are some of the big areas that you want to make sure you pay attention to and
• 23:00
  you know, Lululemon leggings or the ones even on Amazon that are filled with a lot of plastics, making sure you're wearing like at least like organic cotton underwear underneath those if you can.
• 23:09
  So yeah, I definitely it is a it is a line that catches a lot of people's attention as it should, because when it comes down to it, if you're looking at areas of your body that need to have things switched out first, those are some of the biggest products that I dial in on.
• 23:24
  Anything that comes into contact with your hoo-ha is a big deal.
• 23:27
  It's one of the things that upsets me the most because I'll meet a lady when I'm shooting a video at a store and she's like, what are you talking about?
• 23:34
  And I'm holding up some synthetic tampon.
• 23:37
  She's like, and I start explaining, look, this is made of polyester plastic, maybe a little bit of cotton,
• 23:45
  loaded with all kinds of chemicals, known toxins.
• 23:48
  There's lawsuits around this stuff too.
• 23:51
  Hormone disrupting compounds, putting it in a hormone sensitive area.
• 23:54
  And they're like, oh my gosh, I didn't know.
• 23:56
  Yes.
• 23:57
  Right.
• 23:57
  There's no, it's again, the lowest cost product for the highest profit so that they can do celebrity endorsed videos so that your daughter can't.
• 24:08
  is watching them right away, and then they believe that it's safe.
• 24:10
  You're being dumbed down to think you can put something synthetic in your body that really doesn't even belong there.
• 24:16
  I mean, there's a lot of experts on this.
• 24:17
  I'm a guy, I'm not supposed to talk about that stuff, but you were designed perfectly.
• 24:23
  And how things flow is great, right?
• 24:26
  And I get it, we're busy, we're in the city now, like things have changed, we can't get away with it.
• 24:30
  You have to wear pads and tampons, but it's literally, you're sticking poison inside of your body
• 24:35
  Some of those microplastics, because it's inside of you, if they're shedding, there's lots of studies showing the microplastics embedded in your genitals, guys and girls, which is affecting your hormone health, which is gonna 100% affect your fertility.
• 24:50
  And then you're gonna spend thousands and thousands of dollars doing infertility, going the infertility route, another side of medicine that's massive that people are willing to pay anything for because
• 25:01
  wouldn't we?
• 25:02
  You know what's funny though, is literally on the doors of these places that you go for IVF, you can't wear anything with toxicants in it.
• 25:10
  Like you can not wear perfume, cologne, they don't want the phthalates in there.
• 25:14
  I literally went over stats yesterday of the drastic reduction in success in IVF treatments with conception, having a live birth, et cetera, with phthalates specifically.
• 25:24
  So they're putting these things in the tampons and that's fine.
• 25:28
  They can put them in the menstrual cups and that's fine.
• 25:30
  But if you're trying to go through an IVF treatment, then nothing's allowed.
• 25:33
  It makes zero sense.
• 25:34
  It's a perfect money loop.
• 25:35
  So they know that they know the cycle, though.
• 25:37
  They know they know that it affects their outcome.
• 25:40
  Yes.
• 25:40
  And people aren't going to do it if it affects their outcome.
• 25:43
  And what's so funny, you just talked about that.
• 25:45
  There's fragrance on the pad.
• 25:47
  They'll put those chemicals with those hormone disrupting compounds in one of the most highly absorbable areas of your body.
• 25:52
  You said almost 10 times.
• 25:54
  Yeah.
• 25:54
  And now it was okay then world, but it's not okay now.
• 25:58
  Yeah.
• 25:59
  And then there's the underwear study.
• 26:01
  Oh, yeah.
• 26:02
  So listen to this study, and this was done on males, not females, but there's a dog study they did on females, and it caused infertility just from wearing plastic underwear.
• 26:11
  Mm-hmm.
• 26:11
  Right?
• 26:11
  And then when they put, on the dog study at least, when they put on natural things, the female dogs were all able to get pregnant.
• 26:18
  Yeah.
• 26:19
  So they haven't done that study, but back in the 80s, I believe, they did a study on males, and essentially the polyester sling
• 26:27
  people who were trying to get pregnant didn't get pregnant.
• 26:30
  They did a bunch of measuring.
• 26:31
  It did lower sperm count.
• 26:32
  Yeah.
• 26:33
  They measured a lot of the negative effects it had on sperm, on the sperm.
• 26:37
  I don't think they did sperm motility, but then when they took the slings off the males,
• 26:42
  The ones that were trying to get pregnant got pregnant.
• 26:45
  So it's essentially a male contraceptive.
• 26:49
  And that's why they did this study, actually.
• 26:50
  Now I'm remembering the whole study.
• 26:52
  They did this study because they're like, oh, we have all these ways that we can...
• 26:58
  keep women from getting pregnant, how can, what can a male be doing to stop him from getting their wives present?
• 27:05
  We need a pregnant, we need to get a male contraceptive.
• 27:08
  So they did this study on the sling and they made the males wear it and it was 100% effective, I believe.
• 27:13
  Effective, oh my goodness.
• 27:16
  So then the polyester underwear boom is here and more plastics are here.
• 27:21
  So a conspiracy theorist would say they're trying to limit population control, you know, because of plastic underwear.
• 27:28
  And you're spending on this money going to an infertility clinic.
• 27:32
  And then they're telling you not to use fragrances and the things that are linked to a lower chance of getting pregnant.
• 27:39
  And the males, they're wearing plastic underwear.
• 27:41
  So one of the things that have got super viral from that is like, look, you know,
• 27:45
  It might be as simple, if you're listening to this, as having your husband wear 100% certified organic cotton underwear.
• 27:53
  And I recommend NADS.
• 27:55
  They're actually a company that I work with.
• 27:58
  I really believe that's why I love that company because that alone, it's going to...
• 28:03
  testosterone is limited by that.
• 28:05
  And this is the same if you're a female.
• 28:08
  Yes.
• 28:08
  Like it's messing with your hormones.
• 28:10
  Yes.
• 28:10
  And maybe that's why you can't get pregnant according to the dog study.
• 28:15
  Because you shouldn't be wearing plastic in an area that is, and that underwear is not BPA free.
• 28:22
  And it could have BPA in it.
• 28:23
  It's not BPS free, which is even bisphenol S, which is more, that's worse than BPA for fertility.
• 28:30
  Yeah.
• 28:31
  And it could have that.
• 28:32
  It could have phthalates.
• 28:33
  Yeah.
• 28:33
  what the clinics don't want.
• 28:35
  And all these different chemicals, and it's right on that highly absorbable area.
• 28:40
  And it's proven that some of those chemicals are getting in there.
• 28:43
  And when you have these hormone disrupting chemicals, guys, they get, they block on these cellular receptors in your tissues and organs that need to hear those hormones so that it will increase your ability to get pregnant.
• 28:54
  And it's blocking these receptors on the cells.
• 28:57
  So you can't communicate.
• 28:59
  And therefore you can't get pregnant because you don't have the right hormonal balance.
• 29:03
  And then you jam a bunch of chemicals in you, which you're going to have a consequence because you're going to be metabolic waste of putting all these extra hormones in your body.
• 29:11
  And then there's unintended consequences to that in your health, which can lead to all kinds of other disease, including the big C. And we're doing this big risk.
• 29:19
  But if we got back to God, back to nature, which is...
• 29:22
  The box I'm going to stand on that I think we can all agree on the further way we get from God and nature, the sicker we're going to be.
• 29:29
  And that's where we're at as a society.
• 29:30
  That's where the industrial revolution and chemicals came in and screwed up the health of America.
• 29:36
  That's why we're going to other, we're doing all these longevity studies.
• 29:39
  And guess what it is?
• 29:40
  Community.
• 29:41
  Number one, right?
• 29:43
  It's being close to nature, forest bathing, like grounding, drinking clean water, eating that.
• 29:51
  super high polyphenol antioxidant fruits right from the vines of these certain areas.
• 29:56
  And yeah, they can drink a little wine and get away with it because it's alcohol and it's no big deal because they're doing everything else right.
• 30:03
  Go ahead, do some fillers.
• 30:04
  Right.
• 30:05
  Because you're living an amazing non-toxic life that's way better than what I can do.
• 30:11
  Knowing all this here in America, because we don't have that available to us.
• 30:14
  We've disconnected from nature.
• 30:16
  We've disconnected our food from regions where it's supposed to be grown.
• 30:19
  And so this, and they have respect for nature.
• 30:22
  They have respect for the food.
• 30:23
  They have respect for where the best, where the food grows and where you can't grow tomatoes on a side of a hill, you know, where I'm at, up in Utah.
• 30:34
  It just doesn't work.
• 30:35
  Grow tomatoes where they're supposed to be grown.
• 30:37
  Yeah.
• 30:38
  I had that's that's that's away.
• 30:40
  That's the key takeaway from this talk.
• 30:42
  So thank you, Alyssa, for being on the show.
• 30:46
  We need to wrap up.
• 30:47
  I really appreciate you coming.
• 30:48
  How can people find you at biohacking bombshell on Instagram?
