Generational Toxicity - Toxins from Grandma or Grandpa?? - WofAP:11

When it comes to certain traits or characteristics you often hear people say, "It runs in the family." But did you know that your Grandparents may have passed toxins down through the generations through your parents and to you? A researcher/biologist, Michael Skinner, discovered this concept that toxins can be passed up to four generations. Could this have an impact on your health? Could this mean that I "inherited" certain toxins or genes that were "turned on" in a unfavorable way due to toxins? It is possible. 

Join me on this podcast to understand more about Generational Toxicity and how you can be proactive to stop passing toxins on to the future generations in your family.

Do you want weed killer with that? - Glyphosate, Autism and Our Health - WofAP:10

How many of you have heard of glyphosate? If that doesn't sound familiar, how many of you have heard of RoundUp? Yep, the stuff that you spray on all of those weeds. Well glyphosate is the main ingredient found in RoundUp, and it has been connected to increases in autism, dementia, chronic illness, and it has even been linked to cancer. 

 

Unfortunately most people don't even know this, and most people don't even know that the food they are choosing to eat every day has glyphosate or weed killer, sprayed all over it. Yes, you are eating weed killer every day!

In this podcast we talk about what Glyphosate is, how it can harm you and your family, and what are some good options or actions we can make to minimize the negative effects of Glyphosate.
