Most people don’t realize how much the toxins in our environment affect not just our bodies but also our brains.
From pesticides and plastics to everyday cleaning products and cosmetics, these chemicals disrupt the microbiome, trigger inflammation, and have been linked to rising rates of neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism.
As a holistic psychiatrist, I’ve seen firsthand how reducing toxin exposure and healing the gut can lead to profound improvements in mood, cognition, and overall well-being.
Healing begins with awareness and small, consistent changes. Choose organic foods when possible, reduce plastics, and swap out chemical-heavy products for natural alternatives.
Your environment matters more than you think. Start today. What’s one small change you’ve made (or want to make) to reduce toxins in your daily life?
