Interview: Hidden in Plain Sight…How Everyday Toxins in Your Home Impact Your Health

Leading Alzheimers expert, Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, The End of Alzheimers, told me that the same lifestyle changes I made to heal myself of a tennis ball-sized chest tumor–without drugs or surgery–are the same ones he uses to reverse Alzheimer’s in his patients. These changes from his perspective, including reducing exposure to toxins in your home, work because they change our epigenetics.

During this interview with Dana Laake on her “Essentials of Healthy Living” Radio Show, I shared my story and the specific, often simple, changes I made that significantly reduced or eliminated my exposure to harmful toxins in my food, in the products I used and in my home environment.

We also discussed a wide range of health situations I encounter often during my Healthy Home Assessments, from difficult-to-treat chronic illnesses to debilitating chronic headaches, allergies, disrupted sleep and more. You’ll see that once I identified the troublesome toxins that were triggering these health issues, the simple, cost-effective solutions quickly eliminated their symptoms and restored their health. These Simple Swaps and Solutions are ones you can use immediately to improve your and your family’s health.
