Ryan Connor and Briana Connor Garcia are siblings who grew up in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, right around the corner from a landfill that later became designated an EPA Superfund site. Unbeknownst to them, they spent their childhood exposed to toxic "forever chemicals" that leached into the soil and water, poisoning countless community members in the process. Following separate cancer diagnoses and years of debilitating health issues, they are on a crusade to raise awareness of the dangers of PFAS and similar chemicals, bring accountability to the companies responsible, and to heal themselves using alternative medicines.

In our conversation with Ryan and Briana we discussed:

• Their upbringing in Tewksbury
• The environmental toxins they were unknowingly exposed to
• The health consequences they and others in the community have faced
• How the next Superfund site could be just down your road...and you'd never know it
• Testing for "forever chemicals" in your system
• Holding these companies accountable
• Using terrain-forward methods to heal

...and more!
