Many tea lovers may be surprised to learn about a secret toxin potentially lurking in their favorite beverage.
Have you ever considered the fluoride content in your daily cup of tea? Surprisingly, many teas naturally contain fluoride and it has nothing to do with the type of water it's steeped in.
On this episode, I discuss why fluoride is detrimental to your health and what you can do about keeping it out of your tea.

On this episode I discuss what to watch out for, and what you can do about it.

Cellular Oxygen, Hormones and Autoimmunity
Welcome to the Dr. Nirvana Podcast. On this episode I discuss how hypoxia (low oxygen in the blood) can cause deleterious effects on the body, as the it tries to adapt to the lower oxygen levels.
This means that where hormones and autoimmunity are concerned, this can have serious consquences. Primarily because it affects each cell at the mitochondrial level.
I discuss a few supplements that help those suffering from hypoxia, including my favorite one here.

If you’ve recently taken a course of antibiotics, and you’re wondering how long it will take to get your microbiome back to normal—or even if it’s possible at all, you'll want to listen to this episode.
