How Environmental Poisons Fuel Chronic Disease with Dr. Kelly McCann, MD

Unmasking the Toxic Tsunami & How to Detox for Lifelong Health

Toxicity is something I’ve been focusing on more than ever—because it’s everywhere. From the water we drink to the air we breathe, the buildings we live and work in, even the everyday products we use—environmental toxins are silently impacting our health at the deepest levels.

That’s why I’m excited to bring you this powerful conversation with Dr. Kelly McCann—an integrative physician and true pioneer in environmental medicine. Dr. McCann has called environmental toxins the “tsunami” behind today’s chronic disease epidemic, and in this episode, she breaks down exactly why.

Whether you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” to chemicals or you’ve been struggling with chronic symptoms that no one can seem to explain, this episode is a must-listen.

Dr. McCann has helped thousands of patients navigate complex medical issues—chronic illness, autoimmune disease, gut dysfunction, hormone imbalances, and more—through compassionate, root-cause-focused care. Her approach blends deep clinical expertise with a calm, healing presence that’s helped so many on their path to wellness.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Environmental toxicity at the core of the chronic disease crisis & why environmental medicine is the most overlooked  component in the functional health arena.
  • The difference between persistent vs non-persistent toxins—and why total load matters
  • Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), multiple chemical sensitivity & hidden triggers
  • How to effectively detox your home and your body
  • The truth about sweating: passive vs active detox, sauna protocols, and what actually works
  • Dr. McCann’s clinical insights on binders and supporting sensitive patients
  • The crucial connection between antioxidant enzymes and longevity
  • How environmental toxins interact with gene variants—leading to thicker blood, strokes, and heart attacks
