Listen Later

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 
  • Practical nontoxic living: what it is & how to start
  • How to minimize endocrine-disrupting chemicals in your diet & food 
  • Common products that have hidden harmful chemicals in them
  • How to detox your skincare & personal care products
  • The effects of EMF exposure and how technology may be affecting how we physically feel
  • Small steps you can focus on to start decreasing your toxic exposures without stress
  • How to stay balanced and be gentle with yourself in the process of decreasing your toxin exposure
