Come up with a meal schedule for yourself. So many of us eat only when it’s convenient but I encourage you to try to make a schedule for the week ahead and eat within 30 minutes of the scheduled time. Don’t overthink the schedule.

Show notes

This episode covers:

An interview with Dr. Cori Stern. Dr. Cori Stern has been helping people restore and optimize their health naturally since 2001. Her passion for alternative medicine grew out of a sick childhood characterized by a very poor diet, incessant chronic infections, and never-ending cycles of antibiotics. Dr. Cori Stern oversees a busy private practice where she also educates other chiropractors on how to achieve optimal results with their clients.

In this episode we discuss how Dr. Cori’s sick childhood led her to decide to cure herself at age 15, the one book that changed the course of her health and career, how mercury fillings cause your salivary glands to go awry, where (and how!) Dr. Cori recommends getting the best quality foods, why walking into a store with tons of products is stressful to our bodies, how to reduce toxins in your life, and so much more.

If we make these changes time after time it can add up to make a significant difference in your overall toxic burden.
