The Nontoxic Psychologist

In today’s world, we are unfortunately exposed to a wide range of harmful substances, including plastics, PFAS, and lead. 

An Environmental Working Group study found newborn umbilical cord blood contained ~200 industrial chemicals + pollutants.

The US EPA Toxic Substance Control Act Inventory currently monitors 86,000 (!!!!) chemicals, most of which are bodies and immune systems never encountered until 100 years ago.

Toxins can impact all of us, and children are more vulnerable due to smaller, developing brains and bodies, contributing to:

 developmental challenges, such as ADHD, learning difficulties, and lower IQ, mental health issues like anxiety and depression, physical problems like birth defects, asthma, allergies, and eczema, hormonal disruptions and early onset of puberty, and increased risk for some cancers

WHAT CAN WE DO?

Fortunately, the majority of harmful substances are eliminated from the body once you reduce your toxin exposure! Visit my Toxin Education and Getting Started pages for more information.
