The Environmental Working Group has released their 2026 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce, based on the analysis of over 50,000 samples from the USDA and FDA.

This annual report ranks fruits and vegetables by pesticide residue levels, helping consumers make more informed decisions about exposure.

❗️Dirty Dozen: produce with the highest levels of pesticide residues, often with multiple residues detected per sample

🥑 Clean Fifteen: produce with the lowest levels, with a significant portion showing little to no detectable residues

👀 Other produce: falls within a moderate range

Key points to consider:
• Pesticide residues are regulated, but safety thresholds may not fully account for long-term or combined exposure
• Washing, peeling, and proper handling can reduce residue levels
• Frozen produce is a cost-effective and nutritionally comparable alternative to fresh
• Diet quality overall remains the most important factor for long-term health

From a clinical perspective, this list is best used as a prioritization tool, not a restriction.

Increasing fruit and vegetable intake, whether conventional or organic, consistently shows greater health benefits than reducing intake due to concerns about pesticides.

Use this as guidance to reduce exposure where possible, while maintaining a balanced and sustainable approach to nutrition 💚

🌟💪 Boron is a trace mineral crucial for various biological functions, especially in maintaining bone health. Here are three ways boron benefits your bones:

1. Boosts Magnesium Absorption: Magnesium is essential for bone health, and boron enhances its absorption and deposition in bones, supporting overall bone strength.

2. Enhances Vitamin D Absorption: Vitamin D is vital for strong bones. Boron aids in improving the absorption of vitamin D, crucial for preventing conditions like rickets and promoting bone health.

3. Supports S*x Hormone Metabolism: After menopause, bone loss increases. Boron helps regulate s*x hormone levels like 17-beta estradiol and testosterone, influencing bone health positively.

🍽️ Dietary Sources: Get boron from foods like prunes, raisins, almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, bananas, and apples. Dried fruits, like prunes, have shown to support bone health effectively.

Supplementation: There’s no established RDA for boron, but studies suggest benefits with 3 to 6 mg daily supplementation, especially for enhancing bone health.

Important Note: Consider consulting with a healthcare provider, especially if there’s a family history of hormonal cancers, before starting boron supplements.

📒 A study in the British Medical Journal showed that chronic use of oral and inhaled glucocorticoids may affect both white and gray matter in the brain. These medications are commonly used to treat chronic allergies, asthma, sinusitis, and autoimmune conditions. The good news is that the brain may be able to repair itself if the medications are discontinued.

In clinical practice, I often focus on identifying possible root causes behind chronic symptoms, including food sensitivities, environmental allergens, and nutritional imbalances. By addressing these underlying factors and supporting the body with the right nutrition through diet and targeted supplementation, it may be possible to reduce the need for anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive medications in some cases.

Supportive options may include food sensitivity testing, environmental allergen evaluation, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and supplements such as quercetin, fish oil, NAC, and vitamin D3.

Fatigue can affect both physical and mental performance, especially during periods of stress or burnout 🫩

🌼 Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb that has been studied for its potential ability to support energy levels and stress resilience.

Research suggests that rhodiola extract may help reduce symptoms of fatigue, improve mental concentration, and support the body’s response to stress.

In one study, participants taking 400 mg daily for 8 weeks experienced significant improvements in fatigue and weakness, with some noticing changes within the first week.

While more research is still needed, rhodiola continues to be studied for its role in supporting energy, focus, and stress adaptation 🌿

🍄‍🟫 Reishi, also known as Ganoderma lucidum, has been used for centuries in East Asian herbal traditions and continues to be studied for its role in immune and stress support 💭🧠

Immune Support:
Research suggests that reishi extracts may help modulate the immune system. Certain compounds, including beta glucans and triterpenes, appear to support healthy immune cell activity and promote a balanced immune response. Some clinical studies have observed enhanced immune markers in individuals taking reishi extracts.

Stress and Mood Support:
Reishi is often classified as an adaptogen, meaning it may help the body respond more effectively to physical and emotional stress. Emerging research has noted improvements in perceived well being and mood in some individuals using reishi preparations.

Clinical Considerations:
Reishi is commonly used in extract, capsule, or powdered form. Quality, sourcing, and standardization matter, especially when recommending therapeutic doses. As with any supplement, individualized assessment is essential, particularly for patients who are pregnant, managing autoimmune conditions, or taking immunomodulatory medications.

Reishi can be a valuable addition to a comprehensive, root cause focused approach to immune resilience and stress balance 🌿
