Part 2 of Season 2: Forever Chemicals Detox 101.

Rising health trends in children and adults—obesity, autism, cancer, autoimmune disorders, and more—are sobering reminders that it’s time to pay attention. In this episode, Sophia Ruan Gushee introduces toxic exposures like chemicals, heavy metals, and PFAS (forever chemicals) as contributing factors to these patterns.

You’ll hear powerful data and Sophia’s personal story of how these health trends motivated her 20-year journey studying nontoxic living, including eight years writing her book A to Z of D-Toxing. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with three practical tips you can use right now to reduce exposures and build resilience at home.

I’m making a small change to the Practical Nontoxic Living™ podcast schedule: Thursday Raindrops episodes are pausing for now. In this short update, I share why I’m taking this step and how it will give me more space to focus on bringing you deeper, more helpful content—like Season 2: Forever Chemicals Detox 101. Raindrops will be back, but in the meantime, you can continue listening every Tuesday for new episodes on detoxing your home and life.
