Non-Toxic Living

Peptides have gained popularity for their ability to boost mitochondrial health, enhance recovery, and support overall well-being. But today's guest emphasizes that while peptides can be a great tool, they are just one part of a holistic approach to wellness.In this episode, I’m joined by Dylan Gemelli to discuss the power of peptides, healthy living, and reconnecting with nature and God's design. We talk about the profound impact of clean living and balanced nutrition on cellular health. Dylan shares his experience of overcoming a phobia of fats and embracing nutrient-dense whole foods, and how this shift transformed his health. He also touches on the importance of metabolic flexibility and why we should trust in God’s natural design.This episode is a reminder that true healing begins with reconnecting to nature, reducing toxins, and following God’s design for our health. If you find the conversation helpful, share it with someone who’s ready to take charge of their health and live in harmony with nature.“Life is about choice. We were given freedom from God. And we should have freedom as we live to decipher what is best for us, not what someone's forcing us or telling us."~ Dylan GemelliResources:Bedding & Basics from Aizome - https://aizome-textiles.com/ (code: nontoxicdad for 10% off)Coffee That Supports Health - lifeboostcoffee.com/nontoxicdadConnect with Dylan Gemelli:Website - https://dylangemelli.com/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DylanGemelliBiohackingConnect with Warren Phillips:Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdadTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

Are you stuck in the cycle of prescriptions and band-aid fixes with no real cure in sight? Today's discussion might be precisely what you need to break free. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Randall Turner, an ER physician-turned-functional medicine practitioner who’s been transforming lives through personalized healing. After decades in the ER, Dr. Turner realized the traditional medical system was failing those suffering from chronic illness. He shares his journey from trauma medicine to discovering integrative medicine, addressing root causes, and creating individualized plans that help patients achieve long-term wellness. Tune in to learn how functional medicine can offer real solutions and a path to lasting health and vitality.“We are created by a creator that gave us the ability to have an immune system and to have things that work the way they do."~ Dr. Randall Turner, DO, FAIHMConnect with Dr. Randall Turner:Website - https://integrativewellnesswv.com/Phone - (304) 808-6985Connect with Warren Phillips:Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdadTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad 

If you’re doing “everything right” but still feel exhausted, foggy, anxious, or chronically unwell, your home may be the culprit. In this episode, I interview Dr. Peter Osborne to discuss one of the most misunderstood causes of chronic illness today: mold exposure inside the home. Mold isn’t just an allergy issue–it’s a powerful neurotoxin that can disrupt your brain, immune system, hormones, and emotional health without you realizing what’s happening.Dr. Peter shares his personal story of living in a mold-contaminated home and watching it slowly destroy his family’s health. We talk about why mold illness is so hard to diagnose, how it mimics anxiety, depression, autoimmune disease, and cognitive decline, and why even brand-new homes are not immune.We also break down the biggest mistakes people make when testing for mold, why air tests often miss the problem, and which areas of the home are most likely to hide dangerous water-damage mold. Most importantly, Dr. Peter offers hope, explaining how removing exposure and addressing detox can lead to dramatic recovery.If you’ve felt stuck, dismissed, or confused about your health, this episode may finally connect the dots. Your home should be a place of healing, not the source of illness.“Don't be scared to take naps. Don't be scared to sleep longer–ten plus hours a night of sleep is one of the quickest ways to recover. Sleep is critical for healing."~ Dr. Peter OsborneConnect with Dr. Peter Osborne:Origins Wellness Website - https://origins-wellness.com/ Mold Jacked Website - https://moldjacked.com/author/Connect with Warren Phillips:Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdadTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

Pet parents, did you know that the food and vaccinations you're giving your pets could be contributing to their health crisis? Yes, the very things meant to nourish them might in fact harm them.In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Ruth Roberts, a functional veterinarian and holistic pet health coach who’s uncovering dangers in pet food and conventional veterinary medicine. Dr. Roberts reveals how kibble, containing processed ingredients, microplastics, and toxic chemicals, contributes to chronic health issues in our pets. She explains that traditional pet care often focuses on quick fixes with pharmaceuticals and vaccinations rather than addressing the root causes of illness.Dr. Roberts shares her journey from traditional veterinary medicine to a holistic approach, where she discovered the power of diet, detox, and natural remedies in healing pets. She emphasizes the importance of high-quality, whole foods for pets and the need for proper detoxification to help them recover from the toxic burden they face. If you are looking for practical steps you can take to improve your pet’s health, or if you know someone who wants to give their pet a healthier, longer life, this episode is a must-listen. It’s time to make informed decisions and provide our pets with the natural care they deserve.

Are you considering getting breast implants, or have you had them for years? Did you know that implants, even if they seem safe, can introduce a host of toxic issues into your body?In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Robert Whitfield, an expert in breast implant illness and the long-term effects implants can have on your health. Dr. Whitfield explains breast implant toxicity and the role it plays in a variety of health issues. We examine the often-overlooked risks, including bacterial contamination, chemical leaching, and the body’s immune response to foreign objects.Dr. Whitfield reveals that removing implants often leads to remarkable healing, as many of his patients experience immediate improvements in energy and overall well-being once the source of inflammation is removed. Besides dealing with inflammation, removing implants is about addressing the toxic burden and genetic factors that may be preventing proper detoxification.We also discuss alternatives to implants, the importance of pre-surgery prepping and detoxification, and post-surgery care. If you or someone you know has struggled with breast implant illness or is considering removal, this episode could give you the answers you need to make an informed decision about your health.“You have to be very cautious with all the things you put into and onto your body, because you never know which thing is going to be a problem for you specifically."~ Dr. Robert WhitfieldConnect with Dr. Robert Whitfield:Website - https://www.drrobertwhitfield.com/Connect with Warren Phillips:Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdadTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

Many people don’t realize how their breathing, or lack of it, affects everything from their nervous system to their overall health. In this episode, Dr. Sachin Patel and I dive deep into this powerful yet underrated tool for healing.We’ll discuss how something as simple as breathing can switch your body from a stressed fight-or-flight state to a relaxed healing state, which is crucial for proper digestion, emotional release, and energy restoration. We talk about pranayama, an ancient breathing technique that has helped many people improve mental clarity and emotional well-being. You don’t need to rely on supplements or complicated therapies because breathwork is free, accessible, and effective.Remember, your breath is always with you. With proper awareness, it can unlock profound changes in your mind and body.“The value of something to your health is determined by how long you can't live without it. You can last a week without drinking water. You can go a month without eating... But you can't survive without breathing for more than a few minutes, so that should just tell you immediately how valuable it is to your health.” ~ Dr. Sachin PatelConnect with Dr. Sachin Patel:Website - https://thelivingproofinstitute.com/Connect with Warren Phillips:Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdadTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

Have you ever wondered what really causes cancer and chronic illnesses? Is there hope for healing after a cancer diagnosis? In this episode of Non-Toxic Living, Nasha Winters, a naturopathic doctor and integrative oncology expert, joins me to share her powerful journey of overcoming stage 4 ovarian cancer. Together, we dive into the truth about cancer and healing. Nasha’s story is a testament to the power of healing the body through natural, terrain-based approaches. We discuss how cancer and chronic illness are deeply connected to the environment around us, and how toxins in our food, air, and soil are playing a significant role in this crisis.But this isn’t about fear—it’s about empowerment. This is where our journey begins: questioning the narrative, understanding the true causes of illness, and rebuilding a healthier, more sustainable life for ourselves and our families. If this message resonates with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.Why Early Detection Is Not the Same as Prevention“Things have to be big enough and loud enough to even detect them at an early stage. And so, if you're just waiting until something shows up, you're too late; it's already active and on the move. True prevention is about evaluating the whole terrain, not looking for cancer, but looking for things that could contribute to cancer.” - Nasha Winters, ND In This Episode:- Nasha’s journey to overcoming stage 4 ovarian cancer- A deeper look at cancer and what’s happening in the body- The power of healing through nature- Nasha's experience at cancer healing retreats - Why early detection is not the same as prevention- The #1 thing that fuels cancer…and determines the prognosis- What to do if you get diagnosed with cancerResources:Quantum Healing by Deepak Chopra - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0553348698The Metabolic Approach to Cancer by Dr. Nasha Winters - https://www.mtih.org/resources/bookThe Sheer Ecstasy of Being a Lunatic Farmer by Joel Salatin - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0963810960Non-Toxic Living Community - Join the Movementhttps://nontoxicliving.com/ntc/vsl?utm_source=social&utm_campaign=podep2nashaConnect with Dr. Nasha Winters:Website - https://drnasha.com/ Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health Website - https://www.mtih.org/Connect with Warren Phillips:Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdadTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

Have you ever wondered what’s really in the clothes you wear or the sheets you sleep on? In this episode of Non-Toxic Living, I’m exposing one of the dirtiest industries on the planet– the textile industry. From polyester fabrics to supposedly “organic” cotton, our wardrobes are quietly contributing to health issues we rarely trace back to what’s touching our skin.I uncover how microplastics, hormone-disrupting chemicals, and synthetic dyes find their way from your clothes into your body and why “eco-friendly” doesn’t always mean toxin-free. You’ll learn how even premium brands use petroleum-based dyes, flame retardants, and formaldehyde to make fabrics stretch, look soft, or resist stains at the cost of your long-term health.But this isn’t just about what’s wrong. I’ll share the brands doing it right, such as Harvest & Mill, Esmaee, and Namarie, as well as practical steps you can take today to detoxify your wardrobe. You’ll also learn about standards like GOTS-certified and how to find clothing and sheets that support, not compromise, your health.This episode serves as a wake-up call to anyone who wants to live cleaner, breathe more easily, and feel better in their own skin. Listen in to discover how to choose fabrics that love your body back — and why true wellness starts with what you wear.“The textile industry doesn’t really care about your health; it really doesn't care about your skin. It cares about profits.” - Warren PhillipsIf you find this helpful, please share it with a friend who cares about their health and the future of their family.In This Episode:- The dirty truth about the textile industry- Microplastics, BPA, and hormone disruptors in clothing- Why your “organic” clothes may still be toxic- The hidden chemicals in dyes and sheets- No to harmful detergents and yes to genuine non-toxic certifications- Shopping recommendations for the health-conscious consumer- Surprising studies on polyester and fertility- Building a healthier wardrobe that supports your biologyResources:GOTS-Certified Suppliers & Shops - https://global-standard.org/find-suppliers-shops-and-inputs/certified-suppliers/database/search Patagonia - https://www.patagonia.com/our-footprint/ Namarie Plant-Based Fabrics - https://namarie.com?sca_ref=9878722.h3KiLVCLC4QS NONTOXICDAD for 15% offAIZOME Organic Sheets - https://aizome-textiles.com/pages/ntd-lp Harvest & Mill Organic Clothing - https://tidd.ly/3WPLVIkNONTOXICDAD for 10% offNADS Organic Cotton Underwear - https://bit.ly/4elndqYNONTOXICDAD for 15% offNon-Toxic Living Community - Join the Movementhttps://nontoxicliving.com/ntc/vsl?utm_source=social&utm_campaign=podep1textileConnect with Warren Phillips:Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdadTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad
