What was said

"We live in the most toxic time in human history. Women are putting over 200 toxic carcinogenic [snorts] chemicals on their skin every single day. The brilliant body is like, I don't know what to do with all this, so I'm going to put it around your belly and your chest."

Dr Mindy Pelz says modern chemical exposure contributes to weight gain, arguing that the body stores toxins as fat, particularly around the abdomen and chest. She alleges women are exposed to “over 200” carcinogenic chemicals daily via skin products and recommends reducing ‘toxic load’ through product and food choices and “different detoxes”.
