In this powerful episode of The Whole Body Detox Show, host David DeHaas of Living Waters Wellness Center sits down with Dr. Ann Hester, board-certified internal medicine physician and lifestyle medicine expert, to expose the hidden role of toxins, plastics, and modern living in today’s chronic disease epidemic.

Dr. Hester breaks down the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, a science-backed framework now endorsed by the American Medical Association, and explains how these pillars can help prevent, treat, and even reverse conditions like type 2 diabetes, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and cancer risk.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

What the six pillars of lifestyle medicine really are and why they matter
How plastics, microplastics, endocrine disruptors, and household chemicals impact hormones and inflammation
Why food preparation methods (high heat, frying, charring) create toxic compounds like AGEs
How sleep, stress, movement, and human connection directly affect healing and disease reversal
Practical ways to reduce toxic exposure in food, water, cookware, personal care products, and packaging
Why whole-food, plant-predominant nutrition is foundational for long-term health
The difference between lifespan vs healthspan and how to protect your brain and vitality

This episode connects modern medical science with real-world detox strategies, showing how small daily changes can dramatically shift health outcomes. If you’re serious about reducing inflammation, avoiding unnecessary medications, and reclaiming your health naturally, this is a must-listen conversation.
