Are Your Takeout Containers Killing You? + Fundraising Episode

Share

On this special fundraising edition of Healthy Steps, Dr. Fred Harvey dives deep into the toxic truth behind chronic illness in America—and how our everyday environment is more dangerous than we think. From takeout containers leaking Styrofoam into your food to microplastics carrying thousands of harmful chemicals, Dr. Fred warns that the root of modern heart disease isn’t just diet or genetics—it’s toxicity. He explores how these toxins infiltrate our lives and bodies, and offers powerful solutions using food as medicine, with a strong emphasis on antioxidant-rich polyphenols, anthocyanins, and fiber. He debunks juice cleanses, warns against over-supplementation, and outlines how to improve your HDL/LDL balance naturally. Plus, he highlights how loneliness and inflammation can be just as dangerous as a bad diet—and why community radio like WMNF is a vital part of holistic well-being.

No live callers this week due to the fundraising format. Instead, listeners from all over—including Sarasota, Bradenton, Gulfport, and even Illinois and Massachusetts—donated in support of Dr. Fred’s impactful content. Ann from Oldsmar shared that she quit drinking and started biking again thanks to the show. Kimberly from Illinois sent love from Chicagoland with immense gratitude. Multiple donors praised Dr. Fred’s insights, humor, and practical advice, showing how far-reaching and life-changing Healthy Steps has become.
