Great presentation with helpful examples and case study that pulled everything together.
D. E.-H., RDN –
As an RD working in a longevity-focused wellness clinic with an emphasis on functional nutrition, I learned how environmental toxin exposure reflects an upstream root cause that drives immune dysregulation, metabolic dysfunction, gut dysbiosis, and accelerated aging. I loved the practical strategies, real life examples and case-studies provided.
D. M.-R., RDN –
This was a timely webinar regarding the chemicals in our every day environment and how they can have a long term impact on health. This is something that should be discussed more openly in medical practice and educating the public.
