Main Points From Today’s Episode
- We store toxins in our fat cells. As you lose weight, these toxins called “obesogens” are released into your bloodstream.
- Obesogens can wreak havoc on your gut microbiome, contribute to insulin resistance, and impact your hunger hormones. It’s key to cleanse your body of toxins before starting any weight loss program.
- A higher toxin burden is associated with a lower metabolic rate. Incorporating Green Smoothie Cleanse into your routine and including soluble and insoluble fiber in your diet can help support your detoxification pathways.
