In today’s episode, Linda shares her personal journey with numerous autoimmune disorders and how it inspired her to study and teach the power of detoxification. It is incredibly empowering to understand what healthy detoxification looks like and how modern life, toxins, nutrient deficiencies and stressors can impede detoxification and what we can do about it.

Linda walks us through the intricate process of detoxifying the body naturally, healing from a root cause perspective, and recognizing key symptoms to watch for. Linda also offers practical steps to begin detoxifying in a safe and effective way.
