Uncovering Hidden Hormone Disruptors and Detox Strategies with Dr. Pam Smith

In this compelling episode, Joe Fier welcomes Dr. Pam Smith, renowned author and hormone expert, to uncover the silent epidemic of endocrine-disrupting chemicals infiltrating our bodies through everyday products like canned foods, skin care items, and plastic water bottles. Dr. Smith breaks down how these toxins impact hormones (cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, and more), contributing to a host of chronic issues and diseases. The conversation highlights cutting-edge solutions—especially Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE)—for detoxifying these persistent chemicals and offers practical advice for protecting your health and longevity.
