Dirty Food and Drink: The Shocking Truth
Hey, Health Warriors!
In this eye-opening episode of Make America Healthy, Dr. Charles Livingston, founder of Life Boost Coffee, and Cheryl Meyer, an author and Berkeley University graduate, joined forces to unravel the startling reality behind the cleanliness of our food and drinks.
Cherly Meyer kicks off the conversation by sharing her inspiring journey from a point of physical collapse to rediscovering vibrant health through a careful examination of food. Cherly’s exploration began with a stark revelation about the state of our food—astonishingly dirty, laden with pesticides and herbicides. Advocating for an organic, colorful diet, Cherly emphasizes the importance of choosing a variety of plant-based foods to harness different phytonutrients and enhance overall well-being.
To help consumers make informed choices, Cherly recommends using resources like a chart from ewg.org, which identifies the dirtiest foods sprayed with pesticides, and whatsonmyfood.org, providing comprehensive information on toxins present in our daily meals.
One surprising revelation involves coffee, the third most consumed beverage globally. Dr. Charles underscores the potential harm of non-organic coffee (with the revelation of mold presence in 50-90% of coffees tested), often treated with pesticides and chemicals. The accumulation of these toxins, coupled with ritualistic daily consumption, can lead to health issues over time.
Enter Life Boost Coffee, Dr. Charles’s venture focused on a commitment to clean sourcing. With a trademarked ‘trust pure process,’ Life Boost Coffee ensures a single-origin, avoiding cross-contamination, and undergoes rigorous third-party testing for over 450 toxins. Life Boost Coffee, available on Amazon and through their store, stands as a beacon for those seeking toxin-free coffee.
Cherly delved into the practical aspect of clean living, introducing the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15. Concepts that help individuals prioritize their organic choices based on ewg.org’s yearly testing results.
The discussion concluded with Cheryl emphasizing the importance of weaning off ultra-processed foods and opting for real, organic options. Her book serves as a guide for overcoming toxic exposure, providing a step-by-step approach and offering a practical workbook for replacing toxic items.
In the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle, Cheryl Meyer urges listeners to eliminate toxins, embrace organic, whole foods, and be mindful of where their favorite restaurants and juice bars source their products. From choosing organic produce to enjoying toxin-free coffee, we can start our journey for a more vibrant life.
This episode serves as a wake-up call, encouraging us all to rethink our food and drink choices for a healthier, toxin-free future, and a happier, healthier America.
Yours in Health,
