In this episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue Hitzmann welcomes Dr. Anna Toker—colorectal surgeon, microbiome educator, and outspoken advocate for food transparency—for a powerful conversation on phosphate-based food additives, endocrine disruption, and the gut’s role in whole-body health.

With over two decades of surgical experience and a passion for public education, Dr. Toker breaks down how additives like trisodium phosphate and glyphosate are silently impacting our bones, hormones, and microbiome. From childhood osteoporosis to thyroid dysfunction, she connects the dots between mineral depletion, collagen damage, and chronic disease—and offers practical steps for detoxing and protecting your health.

This episode explores:

• How phosphate-based additives disrupt calcium absorption, endocrine function, and bone integrity

• The link between glyphosate exposure and mineral deficiencies that contribute to thyroid dysfunction

• Why collagen is vulnerable to glyphosate mimicry—and what that means for connective tissue and cancer risk

• How antimicrobial additives damage the gut microbiome and immune resilience

• What consumers need to know about food labeling, organic loopholes, and post-harvest processing

• Strategies for supporting detox pathways and minimizing toxic exposure

• The future of food safety, regulation, and grassroots advocacy

🎧 Tune in for a conversation that challenges the status quo and empowers you to rethink what’s really in your pantry—and how to protect your health from the inside out.
