Tune in to one of Karen's latest podcasts with Luis Monica on HOW CHEMICAL FRAGRANCES ARE CAUSING YOUR ANXIETY (& OTHER HORMONAL ISSUES).

On this episode, Luis and Karen discuss how perfume and other chemical fragrances effect our bodies. Since they can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin, many of us are constantly bathed in them: either in our home, our workplace, or out in the world.

In this episode, we cover the ways that the body reacts. Perfumes and other synthetic fragrances:
Stimulate a physiological hormonal response
Can change the expression of DNA, and turn on and off genes
Are more damaging and pervasive to the human body than microplastics (which often get more attention)
Can worsen symptoms of illnesses caused by high estrogen levels
Luis and Karen also review some simple-to-implement suggestions on how to get started on the journey of detoxifying your body and home.

Karen was honored once again to be a guest on Luis Mojica's Holistic Life Navigation podcast to talk about what sugar is actually doing in our bodies.

"Some things take a lot of time to break down and enter into the bloodstream. That is not so with sugar. Whenever we put in sugar, it's what we call saccharide. Its molecular construction is such that it takes very little digestive effort - basically none - for it to cross the barriers that allow it into the bloodstream."

"You produce insulin in response to the spike. So if you're going up really rapidly with your blood glucose levels, you're going to release a boatload of insulin to bring down your sugars just as rapidly. Insulin is very effective. It actually grabs these sugar molecules in your bloodstream and will convert them into something known as a triglyceride."

"Sugar is so addictive and satisfying on so many levels and I think because initially it's this concentration of life force because we're breaking down all these foods into the building block of the life, which is the glucose feeding our cells so they can function."

Take a listen to learn more about sugar!
