How Plastics & Pesticides Harm Fertility & Immunity | Guest: Taylor Dukes | Ep 741

Today we're joined by Taylor Dukes, functional medicine nurse practitioner and co-founder of Restore and Revive Wellness Center, to discuss various health topics, medicine, and her story. We discuss her journey into functional medicine and what exactly functional medicine means, with an emphasis on balance between necessary traditional medicine and the philosophy of asking questions and looking into other factors for prevention and cause. We talk about what the medical industry gets wrong and share how to begin cleaning up one's lifestyle and diet and move closer to non-toxic living. Should people care about organic food? And are seed oils really as bad as people say they are? Then, we offer some tips on introducing your kids to healthier lifestyles, and Taylor shares her story of how she found out she had a brain tumor. She explains her journey of finding the Lord's peace in the midst of her diagnosis and the wait to find out what it means for her life. She shares what's next and how her faith in Jesus has gotten her through.
