Pesticides, Hormones & Your Gut: What You're Not Being Told – with Angela Gioffre

Angela unpacks the hidden ways pesticides are silently impacting our microbiome, hormones, and long-term health. Drawing from her own transformation as a mother-turned-nutritionist, Angela reveals how even "safe" foods may carry unseen threats—and why the gut holds the key to our immunity, mental well-being, and resilience. Tune in for practical advice, empowering insight, and a call to reclaim agency over what we eat.

Shocked by the risks posed by everyday food and chemical exposures, Angela committed to understanding what’s really on our plates.

• Gut health influences everything from immunity to mental clarity and hormone regulation.

• Hormonal imbalances tied to pesticides can mimic stress and affect everything from skin to metabolism.

• Organic foods help plants develop their own immunity—passing on more nutrition and antioxidants to us.
