Episode description

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, Lara Adler, an Environmental Toxins Expert & Educator, a Certified Holistic Health Coach, and someone who is deeply passionate about changing the landscape of disease through addressing toxic exposures. This episode originally aired in November 2019. Lara Adler has been on a mission to help allied health professionals better support their clients & patients they serve by addressing exposures to environmental chemicals. She also guides her students on how to seamlessly integrate this topic into their practices and to leverage their education to distinguish themselves in their fields. Lara has worked with thousands of practitioners in over 26 countries in her online programs to help them understand the links between chemicals in our daily lives and their links to chronic health conditions like metabolic disorders, thyroid disease, fertility, and behavioral problems in children. Through her flagship course, Talking Toxins, Lara gives health professionals like nutritionists, health coaches, ND’s, RN’s and chiropractors, as well as healthy-minded consumers a deep education on where these toxic exposures are happening, along with actionable steps to take. The goal is action, not overwhelm. In this episode, Lara Adler starts by discussing how our cell metabolism can be causing resistance to weight loss. Genetics can play a significant role in this resistance, as well as the pharmaceuticals you may be taking. Then, Lara explains all the toxins and chemicals we are introducing to our lives without even knowing. These toxins can be detrimental to our health. However, the good news is there are ways to rid your body of these chemicals. The easiest way to get started with detox is by visiting the sauna every single day. Lara also reveals other ways to rid our bodies of toxins and why this process doesn’t need to be overwhelming. Tune in! Take my FREE toxicity quiz to determine your level of toxicity.

However, Lara never thought she would pursue anything professionally in the space. After eight years in another career, several people suggested she become a health coach. Lara got certified as a health coach. All of her clients were coming to her for weight loss advice. Some of Lara’s clients had terrific results, whereas others had no results at all. What was she missing? Lara dove into the literature around resistance to weight loss. Lara learned about chemicals that mess with our metabolism and cause resistance weight loss. [14:15] Why You May Have Resistance to Weight Loss Genetic differences may predispose you to specific health conditions. Whereas, other people may not manifest these health conditions. For instance, two people who are smokers can have very different outcomes. [15:20] About the PPAR Pathway When PPAR gets activated, it changes the programming of our fat cells that lead toward weight gain. Our cells increase their capacity for fat storage. PPAR can also increase our number of fat cells. It happens at a cellular level completely absent from diet and exercise. This is referred to as chemically induced weight gain. Chemicals can make us fat. Antidepressants cause weight gain – it is a well-established side effect. [19:15] Fasting with Toxins We are burning fat while fasting. Normally, we are dumping our toxins into our fat. When we start losing weight rapidly, the toxins are dumped into our bloodstream. Our liver has to try and keep up with this load. Unless your liver is working perfectly, your liver can still be overloaded. People who have undergone rapid weight loss have shown a thousandfold increase of toxins flooding their systems. People often will get so sick that their hair even falls out. We want to be careful when we are fasting or losing weight. Toxins will desperately search for fat. Your metabolism cannot get rid of toxins – they get recycled back into the system. The body will rebound by adding fat to house the toxins. [22:15] Ways to Support the Liver Anything that supports the liver will be your friend on this journey. Lara’s goal is to dial back the exposure and amp up what our body is getting rid of. We can do this by supporting the liver. Take activated charcoal – you need to know how to take a binder because it is a whole process. Sweat every day if you can in a sauna. Law enforcement is using sweat patches to see whether or not there are narcotics in someone’s system. Sweat works! Some toxins will exit through sweat rather than any other pathway. You can measure chemicals in urine, but there are still toxins under your skin. A detox should be done every single day. We just want to support this process in all of the ways possible. [30:20] Chemicals to Look Out For BPA or bisphenol A can be found in cash register receipts, canned foods, the lining of canned foods, hard plastic materials. They are not found in soft plastics. Marketing from these companies is really misleading. If you look at a Ziploc bag, they all say BPA free – it never contained BPA. They manipulate the consumer’s lack of understanding. BPA is only one chemical in a family of chemicals known as bisphenol. BPA got a bad rap in the public arena because a group of mothers saw it was in baby bottles. Companies swapped BPA for BPS – they are nearly identical. Studies about these substitutions are showing they may actually be worse. [39:45] There Is No Safe Water Bottle Brand Drink out of stainless steel. People don’t want to use as much plastic, so they start reusing their plastic containers. The right thing to do is not to buy plastic. Our foods come packaged in plastic, and we can’t avoid it. Avoid plastic when buying olive oil, coconut oil, and nut butter. There are 4 key things that increase the way chemicals migrate out of plastic: Heat Oil Acidity Abrasion If you have oily or fatty foods – it will increase the number of chemicals leaking out of the plastic and into the foods. [45:35] Cleaning Our Indoor Air Household cleaners cause a bigger percentage of air pollution than automobiles. You need to clean up what is happening in your house. Breathing this stuff every single day is harmful. House dust is actually lead, heavy metals, pesticides, and non-stick coating. These chemicals settle in the dust in our house. Dusting is so important to eliminate these harmful chemicals. [56:20] One Action Step at a Time When people come to this conversation and feel overwhelmed they need to take one action step. You can’t occupy a space of being proactive and being overwhelmed. Action not overwhelm. Start doing stuff even if it’s really small. Your first step can be visiting a sauna every day. It is easy to become obsessed with this topic and be afraid of touching anything. We do not need to be afraid of touching a plastic container. Take action on these things, and do not grab the receipt! AND MUCH MORE!
