The Everyday Toxins Wrecking Your Health 

Updated: January 6, 2026

Dr. Joe Pizzorno

And the surprising truth about how quickly you can get them out of your body.

What if the biggest threat to your health isn’t your genes, your age, or even your exercise habits… but something you can’t see, can’t taste, and didn’t consent to?

According to world-renowned environmental medicine pioneer Dr. Joe Pizzorno, N.D., the toxins in your air, water, food, and even your skincare routine are now driving more chronic disease than genetics ever have.

But don’t be alarmed…

Many of these toxins can start leaving your body in just a few days. But only if you know what to do! 

In this fascinating interview, Dr. Pizzorno, founding president of Bastyr University and author of The Toxin Solution, pulls back the curtain on the modern toxins undermining our healthspan. And what you can do TODAY to protect your healthspan.

In this must-watch conversation:

  • The “harmless” grocery item delivering arsenic into 130 million North Americans, and the 5-minute kitchen trick that removes 98% of it.
  • The shocking toxin hiding in chicken (even organic chicken)… and why the industry suddenly stopped publishing research on it.
  • Why obesity isn’t the real driver of diabetes, but what’s inside your fat is. A South Korean scientist proved it 15 years ago.
  • The plastic swap Dr. Pizzorno wishes every household would make by tonight,  because one common container leaks toxins in under 60 seconds. (Check your cupboards for this right away)
  • The detox mistake 99% of people make… and how to fix it for less than 25 cents a day.
  • The “IQ thief” sprayed on conventional crops, and the three studies showing it permanently lowered children’s IQ by seven points.
  • The water-filtering hack he used in Flint, Michigan that stripped arsenic to nearly zero, but also revealed a terrifying problem with plastic jugs.
  • The toxin with a 15-year half-life hiding in kidneys, and why it quietly destroys vitamin D activation (and therefore bone density).

And this isn’t just theory. It’s drawn from decades of clinical practice, thousands of lab tests, and mountains of published research—plus Joe’s experience serving on national commissions under both U.S. political parties.

Watch now to see why “normal modern life” is far more toxic than our bodies were built for, and how a few focused changes in your kitchen, bathroom, and daily routine can lighten your toxic load, protect your bones, and support a longer, healthier life.
