When it comes to detoxifying your body, the first step is alwaysremoval.
Before adding supplements or special cleanses, clear your environment ofharmful inputs. This puts you in control—because you’re eliminating the problemat its source rather than relying on something to cover it up.
Many people notice profound changes once they detoxify their environment:
· Migraines disappear
· Sleep becomes deeper and more restorative
· Energy levels rise
· Hair stops thinning
Your body’s default setting is health. When the environment isright, it naturally begins to repair and restore itself.
Let’s explore the big three toxins thatimpact your health daily—and what you can do to protect yourself.
What they are:
EMFs are invisible waves emitted by devices—phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetoothgadgets—that can lodge themselves in your cells, triggering inflammation.
There are more than 80,000 research papersdocumenting EMFs’ harmful effects on human health. Unless you live completelyoff-grid, you need to pay attention to your exposure.
· Ditch AirPods— EMF readers show AirPods emitting levels of 8–15, which is 16–30×above harmful thresholds (0.5+). Think of it as putting yourhead in a low-powered microwave. Use wired headphonesinstead—they’re cheaper and safer.
· Turn off Wi-Fi at night— This simple step improves sleep quality and cuts down exposure. Many routershave scheduling features so you can automate this.
· Practice grounding— Standing barefoot on grass, swimming in a lake, or touching bare earth alignsyour body with the Earth’s frequency (pEMF), which helps “flush out” harmfulEMFs.
The problem:
Most tap water—even in the US—contains contaminants:
· Microplastics— Found in ~70% of major water sources worldwide
· Hormone disruptors— Atrazine, birth control residues, and more
· Heavy metals— Arsenic, lead, and other carcinogens
· Fluoride— Linked to reduced bone strength and cognitive decline

· Drink spring water— Look for real spring sources like Mountain Valley (glass bottles) ora trusted local supplier with refillable jugs.
· Install reverse osmosisfiltration — Removes virtually all toxins. Brands like AquaTruoffer countertop and under-sink options. Since RO water is low in minerals, adda pinch of mineral-rich salt (e.g., Redmond’s).
· Use a shower filter— Your skin absorbs chemicals from hot water. A good filter can significantlycut exposure during bathing.
What they do:
These chemicals interfere with your hormones, mimicking them, blocking them, ordisrupting their production. Over time, they can wreak havoc on metabolism,mood, fertility, and overall health.
· Flaxseed— Just ¼ cup can deliver estrogenic effects equivalent to 20 birth controlpills. Avoid cereals, granola, and bars with flax.
· Soy —Stick to fermented, organic forms like natto; avoid processed soymilk, protein powders, and tofu from conventional sources.
· Phthalates— Found in cosmetics and personal care products. Check products at ewg.org.
· BPA —Found in plastics and can linings. Choose glass or BPA-free storage.
· In polyester clothing,especially underwear and leggings
· In nonstick cookware— One scratch releases thousands of PFAs. Use stainless steel, cast iron, orglass.
· In toilet paper &tampons — Choose unbleached, minimally processed options.
1. AuditYour Environment — Look at what touches your body daily: foodcontainers, cosmetics, cleaning products, cookware, clothes, and even personalhygiene items.
2. Ask:How far is this from its natural state? — The more processed,the more likely it is to contain toxins.
3. ReplaceStep-by-Step — You don’t have to swap everything at once. Startwith the most frequent exposures and work your way down.
Bottom line: Detox starts with subtraction, notaddition. By removing EMFs, filtering your water, and cutting out endocrinedisruptors, you create the conditions for your body’s defaultsetting—health—to take over.
