38. Practical Nontoxic Living with Sophia Ruan Gushée

In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Sophia Ruan Gushée, a renowned nontoxic living expert, author, podcast host, and creator of the D-Tox Academy. Inspired by her family, Sophia published the critically-acclaimed book A to Z of D-Toxing: The Ultimate Guide to Reducing Our Toxic Exposures in October 2015. She has been featured on popular platforms like the Dr. Oz Show, MindBodyGreen, Today.com, Well+Good, and various magazines. Her mission is to empower people with the safest way to detox: avoiding toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from what we buy, own and do.

In this episode, we chat about:

• What toxins & detoxification really are
• Why true nontoxic living is impossible

• How to minimize endocrine-disrupting chemicals in your diet & food
• Common products that have hidden harmful chemicals in them
