EP 38: Common Household Chemicals That Affect Your Hormones (ft. Emma Rohmann)

There is a ton of information – and misinformation – out there when it comes to toxins in the products you use every day. This can make it almost impossible to figure out how to create a healthy home without feeling completely overwhelmed.

Today’s podcast features Pt 2 with Emma Rohmann, an environmental engineer that is going to educate us all on the best ways to reduce toxics/toxins from our bodies and home.

Mary and I are constantly learning and we love to take this information and share it with you. You're gonna love this episode.... No matter where you are in your journey of life...
