Hi everyone! Welcome to our show notes for Episode #2 of The Enlightened Pharmacist.
Why environmental toxins can cause havoc to your health?
Are you or anyone in your family being exposed to toxic chemicals? (hint yes).
The toxic load is high in our food, water, and environment, and can cause sickness in us, our children, and future generations. In this podcast, my guest Nicole Bijlsma gives simple tips on how to reduce your toxic load by eating organic foods, getting a water filter, taking off your shoes at the door, buying only what you need and more!
Nicole is the CEO and founder of the Australian College of Environmental Studies (est.1999) which was established to educate people about the health hazards in the built environment.
Her book, Healthy Home, Healthy Family, An Essential Guide for Every Home
Is a great resource for anyone interested in cleaning up their habitat, any unknown toxins and is an essential resource to those thinking of starting a family, buying a new house or who have allergies.
