Has anybody used Charcoal to detox? And did you have any side effects with it? Does it deplete you of all your vitamins and nutrients when you take it?

Plastic food containers leach estrogenic chemicals that could disrupt hormones, contribute to obesity, and harm fertility. Now, a 2025 study published in Toxicological Sciences has disturbingly validated those concerns: the "BPA-free" alternatives used in thermal paper receipts and food packaging may be even more toxic than BPA itself. Researchers at McGill University tested five BPA alternatives (TGSA, D-8, PF-201, DBSP, and the widely used BPS). They found that several were highly cytotoxic to human cells, dramatically increased lipid droplet accumulation, and disrupted DNA repair pathways. The most concerning finding was that these chemicals are now ubiquitous in our environment, detected in cash receipts, food packaging labels, newspapers, and even toilet paper made from recycled thermal paper, and that they migrate into food products that come into contact with these materials. Whether a material contains BPA or one of its supposedly safer alternatives, plastic leaches endocrine-disrupting chemicals into your food. The solution remains the same as in 2011: use glass containers for storage, stainless steel for water bottles, and avoid heating food in any type of plastic, regardless of the label claims.

Somewhere along the way, we decided that smelling like a human was a bad thing. I get that we all want to smell good, particularly for the opposite sex. But drowning your skin in modern fragrances and perfumes comes at a cost to your health. The interesting thing is, historically, perfume wasn't even a health problem! For thousands of years, perfume was actually just plants, resins, and flower oils. It only became a health problem when industrial chemistry hijacked fragrance in the mid 19th century. Perfumers stopped depending on plants and started depending on labs. And just like that, perfume became cheaper, longer-lasting and biologically foreign to the human body. Then in 1921, Chanel No. 5 changed everything… It was the first mass-marketed perfume to fully embrace abstract synthetic concepts (not flowers!) as the core identity. Advertising reframed perfume as femininity, seduction, status ,and being" clean," "fresh," "pure." And health disappeared from the conversation entirely. The rest is history… Today, scents are added to EVERYTHING: soaps, detergents, shampoos, laundry products, Air fresheners… Perfume has become an ambient exposure. "Fragrance" became a legal black box, which means companies don't have to disclose what's actually in their proprietary fragrance blends. So now we're dealing with chronic, involuntary exposure to petrochemical-derived synthetic fragrance compounds that our bodies were never designed to handle! And it is far from a drop of jasmine oil on your wrist… These industrial chemicals are absorbed through your skin, lungs, and mucous membranes – disrupting your endocrine system, triggering your immune system, and screwing with your hormones. But what exactly is IN modern perfumes that makes them so harmful for humans? Primarily, it's phthalates and parabens, which you've probably heard me talk about on social media. One study screened 47 branded perfumes and found phthalates in 100% of them – with some containing up to 23,649 parts per million of diethyl phthalate (PMID: 27120507).

"Why You Wake Up at 3:00 AM (The Mayday Call)" Your liver has no voice. It has no pain receptors. You could cut it, and it wouldn't scream. So when it is drowning in fat (don’t think “dietary fat”, think “fatty liver” from sugar/carbs/toxins!), it cannot call out to you. Instead, it calls the Adrenals. And they wake you up. THE STORY It’s 3:03 AM. You jolt awake. Heart pounding. Sheets damp. Mind racing with anxiety. You think: "Did I hear a noise? Is it stress? Is it menopause?" No. It is a Rescue Mission. While you were sleeping, your blood sugar crashed. A healthy liver would simply release some stored fuel to smooth it out. But your liver is Fatty. It is congested. It is sluggish. It failed to deliver the fuel. Your brain sensed the crash and screamed: "MAYDAY! WE ARE GOING DOWN!" It smashed the emergency button for the Adrenal Glands. The Adrenals responded by flooding your veins with Adrenaline and Cortisol. This chemical surge forced your liver to dump sugar to save your life. But it also hit you like a shot of espresso in the dark. You are not "just awake." You are in a chemical "Fight or Flight" panic, lying in a safe bed, because your liver couldn't do its job. THE SCIENCE Most doctors will check your ALT and AST enzymes. If they are "normal," they say your liver is fine. They are waiting for the building to collapse. We look for the smoke. If you have the "3 AM Wake Up" AND "Brain Fog," your liver is the root cause. The toxins it failed to filter are clouding your brain. The adrenaline it triggered is ruining your sleep. THE CALL TO ACTION Sleeping pills won't fix this. They just silence the alarm while the fire burns. You must drain the fuel. 1.Cut the Fructose: No juice, no soda, no fruit after dark .2.Cut the Alcohol: It shuts down the rescue team. 3.Start the Fast: Give your liver the night off so it can catch up. Your liver cannot scream. But it can wake you up. Are you listening?
