On Day 4 of the “A.G.E.S. Summit 2025 – Make Your Home Great Again,” aired on Oct. 7, Dr. Bryan Ardis shed light on the hidden toxic dangers lurking in one of the most intimate spaces in our homes: the bathroom. According to Ardis, the average adult’s daily personal care routine is a significant source of exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer, hormone disruption and a host of other serious health issues.
“The average person uses about nine personal care products per day and never thinks twice about them,” Ardis stated, citing data from the Environmental Working Group (EWG). This translates to exposure to 126 unique chemical ingredients daily, a number that jumps to 168 for the average woman. The most alarming statistic? “One of every 13 women and one of every 23 men are exposed to ingredients that are known or probable human cancer-causing ingredients every day through the use of personal care products.”
The presentation identified several classes of high-risk chemicals commonly found in everything from shampoo and lotion to makeup and deodorant. Among the most concerning are:
The problem is compounded by the fact that many of these carcinogenic ingredients are not accidents but are fundamental to the products. Ardis presented peer-reviewed research linking specific cosmetic ingredients to cancers. “Parabens, a very common ingredient in cosmetics, increases risk of breast cancer in women,” he said, questioning the mainstream narrative that focuses solely on genetics. “How come every cancer website out there says the causes of cancer are unknown? Well, I guess they don’t watch Healing for the AGES, because we’re going to show you what is published.”
For consumers, the path forward involves vigilance and a shift toward cleaner alternatives. Ardis recommended using resources like the EWG’s Skin Deep database and provided extensive lists of chemicals to avoid. He emphasizes a gradual approach: “Remember, your job is not to memorize this stuff, you just need to start taking steps to improve the environment you’re in.”
The overarching message is a call to awareness about the insidious chemical exposure in our daily lives. As Ardis concluded, the goal is to become “addicted to feeling good,” empowering individuals to make informed choices that protect their long-term health from the toxic dangers hidden in plain sight.
