Afshan’s company partners with over 20 fertility clinics across the U.S. to offer a fertility program focused on toxin reduction in five key areas: food and water, beauty and personal care, clothing, household supplies, and the home & office environment. We discuss the rising fertility crisis, how toxins are stored in fat cells, and the importance of clean beauty.
