In this episode of Blasphemous Nutrition, Aimee highlights how produce influences cognitive resilience and suggests attainable ways to incorporate them into your diet without puritanical lifestyle changes. As medical advances have so far failed to provide significant preventative solutions for cognitive decline, Aimee argues that turning to our kitchens rather than medicine cabinets may hold the key. Through a comprehensive exploration, this episode breaks down the science behind how specific foods can combat inflammation, support vascular health, and bolster cognitive resilience.

From hormone disruption and infertility to insulin resistance and increased disease risk, the stakes are high—but so are the opportunities to take control.

You’ll learn:

• Why “BPA-free” isn’t the hero you think it is—and how alternatives like BPS and BPF might be even worse.
• The real health risks of phthalates hiding in everything from makeup to fast food.
• How chronic plastic exposure impacts fertility, metabolic health, and even your kids’ cognitive development.
• Why popular detox diets fall short and how to support your body’s natural detox pathways the right way, including the top detox-supporting foods.
• Why sweating, pooping, and hydrating are the detox heroes you never knew you needed.
