Season 2 Forever Chemicals Detox 101 series, Part 5

Since World War II, more than 350,000 synthetic chemicals have been created—and many now participate in our daily lives through the products we touch, wear, cook with, clean, play with, and furnish our homes with. These chemicals have revolutionized modern living, but they're also contributing to rising rates of chronic disease, fertility struggles, and developmental disorders.

In this episode of Practical Nontoxic Living™, Sophia Ruan Gushée explains how this "chemical explosion" reshaped our homes and health, and why understanding Household Repeat Offenders™ is one of the most powerful, efficient ways to reduce exposures to toxic chemicals and heavy metals.

You'll learn:

• How synthetic chemicals enter our homes, lifestyles, and bodies
• Where in our bodies Forever Chemicals have been found and what that means for breastfeeding
• What makes Forever Chemicals (PFAS) so concerning—and why they've earned a spot as a Household Repeat Offender™
• How recognizing simple patterns in products can help you avoid hundreds but probably thousands of toxicants with ease

Sophia breaks down complex science into practical insights so you can create a home that truly supports your well-being.

🎧 Listen now to discover how awareness—not perfection—can protect your health from the hidden toxins in everyday life.
