Every week there’s a new “toxin” to avoid — flooring, plastics, deodorant, shampoo, “toxic people,” you name it. But here’s the truth: the most dangerous toxin in your life might not be what’s in your environment, but what’s in your mind.
In this episode of the Risen Fallen Podcast, I share how our obsession with avoiding every chemical, trait, or situation labeled as “toxic” can actually drive us into anxiety, stress, and isolation. The irony? Stress itself is proven to weaken your immune system, hurt your recovery, and shorten your life.
I break down why obsessing over the small stuff — like chemicals in vinyl flooring or fluoride in water — often means ignoring the big rocks of health: sleep, movement, nutrition, relationships, and peace of mind. As I like to put it, we’re “diving over dollars to pick up pennies” and “polishing the deck chairs on the Titanic.”
If you’re ready to stop living fearful and start living free, this episode is for you.
