Our homes can be a dangerous place and impact our health in ways we may never have considered due to toxic chemicals and building materials.

 

Nicole Bijlsma joins us on the show today to discuss the possibly "toxic home". Nicole is a  Melbourne-based building biologist and naturopath and a true world expert!

 

Nicole has been researching, writing and teaching others about the common, and often invisible hazards, that are in or around our homes. These hazards can impact not only the health of us and our families but also the health of the environment.
