In Episode 18 of The Real Food Reel we have Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, one of the world’s leading authorities on science-based natural and integrative medicine. A naturopathic physician, educator and researcher, Dr Pizzorno is in Australia this month, to speak at the 3^rd BioCeuticals Research Symposium, titled Interrelated Drivers of Health and Disease.

According to Dr. Pizzorno, toxic load in modern civilisation is even more important than nutritional deficiencies in terms of causing diseases. Research indicates that environmental toxins increase the chance of developing most chronic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, and people in the top 10% of toxic exposure can have a 20 fold increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Pizzorno and I dive in deep here, so sit back and enjoy the show.
