🥫 Nearly every pantry contains at least a few canned foods (including mine!). Canned foods are a staple for millions of people: they are inexpensive, convenient, and they last a long time.
Many people rely on canned foods to keep them and their families fed.
Unfortunately, canned food consumption is also our primary source of exposure to bisphenol-a,or BPA. ♨️
BPA is a well-established endocrine-disrupting chemical that has been detected in more than 90% of people sampled. Our exposure to this chemical is ubiquitous.
Bisphenol chemicals are used to line most food cans, creating a barrier between the food and the metal, which is important to prevent the can from breaking down and potentially allowing
bacteria to enter. Most canned foods are heat-packed - meaning the food is hot as it goes into the can. Heat, along with acidity and time can increase the leaching of these chemicals into the
food.🥫
One study found that eating canned soup over a 5-day period (admittedly more frequently than most people consume canned soup) resulted in a more than 1000% increase in urinary BPA levels. Another study found that eating 1 canned food item, vs none, was associated with 24% higher urinary BPA concentrations. 🗒️
BPA has been linked to numerous chronic health issues, from behavioral problems in children to hormone disruption to metabolic disease.
While canned food isn’t our only exposure, it is our primary one, so working towards minimizing exposure may be helpful.🙌🏻
The good news is that BPA is metabolized and excreted (meaning, we pee it out) very quickly -in as short as a few hours. This means that if we actively lower the amount coming in, we can very quickly lower the levels in the body!
Aim for fresh, frozen, jarred, or dried!🫙

Surprising ways you can be exposed to heavy metals...👇🏻
➡️Houses/workplace with old paint (or chipping paint)
➡️Drinking Water: Lead from pipes; other metals from industrial runoff.
➡️Cosmetics: Traces of heavy metals like lead and arsenic in beauty products.
➡️Food & unregulated supplements
➡️Certain Fish/Seafood: Mercury accumulation in large, long-lived fish.
If you’re experiencing persistent fatigue, headaches, or nausea, It’s possible you’ve been exposed to toxic metals. 😷
These substances can cause a lot of problems for your health, leading to symptoms like abdominal pain, neurological issues, and cognitive impairment. 🧠
Heavy metals like lead, mercury, or arsenic can enter your body through various routes such as ingestion, inhalation, or contact with contaminated materials.
At Nourish, we offer comprehensive testing for toxic metals to assess your exposure levels and guide personalized health strategies. 💉
Our expert team is here to support you in understanding and addressing any potential risks to your well-being. 🫂

It’s important to have a vision of who we are as a group. Like the Gandhi quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” We are bringing humanity to healthcare and appreciate @hannah_claire_photography for capturing our team so that patients have a familiar face and connection at Nourish Medical Center! Looking forward to sharing lots of new photos with you soon!
There is a LOT of discussion about toxic exposures in the news these days, but this topic can be abstract for many, so let’s dig in. 🔍
Environmental toxins are substances that can cause or are linked to adverse health effects. 😷
They can be found in everything from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the foods we eat, the products we buy, and even the homes, schools, and buildings we spend time in.
They can be naturally occurring (lead, arsenic, mercury) or man-made (pesticides,
plasticizers, PFAS).
We have decades and decades of research that many of these exposures are linked to serious
health issues including:
❌ Infertility
❌ Altered fetal development
❌ Developmental issues in children
❌ Early onset puberty
❌ Cardiovascular disease
❌ Metabolic issues like weight gain, insulin resistance, and diabetes
❌ Cancers
❌ Immune system dysfunction, including autoimmune disease
❌ PCOS, uterine fibroids, and other hormone-related issues
❌ Neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s and dementia
❌ Allergies & asthma
❌ And so much more...
On our path to being as healthy as possible, we have to look beyond just the basics of good
nutrition, fitness, and good sleep (although those all matter a lot!) and start minimizing our
exposure to as many of these chemicals as possible.⚗️

Do you know what can harm your thyroid?🫣
⚠️Nutrition: poor diet, high sugar, low nutrient status, excess nutrients.
⚠️Stress: trauma, sleepless nights...
⚠️Autoimmune Disease
⚠️Some medications
⚠️Environmental Factors: toxins, some chemicals...
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that produces hormones which are responsible for regulating metabolism, growth, and energy usage in the body.🦋
If not properly treated, a thyroid imbalance can lead to weight changes, fatigue, depression, and more.
Here at Nourish Medical Center, our naturopathic doctors focus on understanding what’s causing your thyroid problems, the ROOT CAUSE. 🙌🏻
We don’t just treat symptoms; we look at your whole health, including your diet, lifestyle, and medical history, to provide the best care possible.
