Topic: Environmental exposures

Environmental exposures refer to the various chemical, physical, and biological agents that an individual is exposed to throughout their lifetime, which can have significant impacts on their health and well-being.

More on: Environmental exposures

The podcast episodes demonstrate the critical role that environmental exposures play in shaping various aspects of health, from the gut microbiome and immunity to reproductive function and cancer risk.

For example, episode 60915 discusses how exposures to antibiotics, antacids, stress, and ultra-processed foods can disrupt the gut microbiome, with implications for children's development and disease risk. Similarly, episode 18737 explores how environmental exposures, particularly to chemicals found in plastics and personal care products, can impact male reproductive health and sperm quality.

Other episodes, such as 15155 and 11023, delve into the broader concept of the 'exposome' and its influence on health outcomes, including cancer and longevity.
