Dr. Daniel Pompa has built his work around a single question: what role do everyday toxins play in how we feel? A practitioner and author in the functional-health space, he focuses on heavy metals, environmental exposures, and the body's ability to detoxify. When Dr. Daniel Pompa joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour, the conversation took a close look at the substances many people encounter without a second thought.
Over the course of the episode he shares his perspective on plastics and microplastics, so-called forever chemicals, seed oils, hormone disruptors, and common household items, alongside his own story of recovering from neurotoxic illness. The tone is informative and direct, framed throughout as his approach to health rather than medical advice.
