Why a 40-Day Home Detox? 

The Science Behind a Healthier Home

The world is full of toxins. Your home doesn’t have to be.

But you've been inadvertently bringing them into your home—and inhaling, ingesting, and absorbing them. So let's get to know toxicants...

How Hidden Toxins Impact Your Health

Your home might be making you sick.

The US EPA uses the terms 'sick building syndrome' (SBS) or 'building-related illness' (BRI) to describe symptoms that improve when outside of certain spaces.

SICK BUILDING SYNDROME

SYMPTOMS 

Examples include headache; eye, nose, or throat irritation; dry cough; dry or itchy skin; dizziness and nausea; difficulty in concentrating; fatigue; and sensitivity to odors.

BUILDING-RELATED ILLNESS

SYMPTOMS 

Examples include cough, chest pain, shortness of breath on mild exertion, edema, palpitations, nosebleeds, cancers, pregnancy problems and miscarriages.  

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CHALLENGES

SYMPTOMS 

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can wreak havoc on you. For example, Shanna H. Swan, PhD, an award-winning scientist based has published +200 scientific papers—focusing on how EDCs harm reproductive health. From her book Count Down:

😱 Worldwide fertility has dropped +50% over the past 50 years.

😱 A man today has 1/2 the number of sperm his grandfather had.

😱 Damage from a man’s or pregnant woman’s exposure to harmful chemicals and lifestyle influences can harm the reproductive health of multiple future generations.

OTHER HEALTH OUTCOMES

What we buy own, and do exposes us to toxic chemicals and heavy metals that adversely influence our brain, nervous system, reproductive health, cardiovascular health, endocrine system, immune system, ... well, all our biological parts and processes. Popular categories of chemicals that 40-Day Home Detox will teach you to avoid with ease are endocrine disrupting chemicals, PFAS (or Forever Chemicals), carcinogens, neurotoxicants, reproductive toxicants, developmental toxicants, immunotoxicants, etc. By detoxifying what you buy, own, and do, you can significantly reduce your lifetime exposure to toxicity.

What’s Inside the 40-Day Home Detox?

40-Day Home Detox is a multi-sensory experience with multimedia resources. First, you'll receive a robust 40-Day Home Detox "Healing Home Vault"—a box that includes physical books, detox workbooks, "Love Test Detox Stickers" to apply on the products you've researched, and more. You'll have access to an invaluable online detox library that includes masterclasses with experts who'll help you design your new practical nontoxic lifestyle after about 30 days of eliminating toxic household products.

In the following pictures, you can see examples of your daily emails, which include a daily audio message with your day's roadmap, and the Ruan Living Online Portal. Best of all, this is now part of The Ultimate Home Detox: Elevate Your Health & Well-Being curriculum, which means that you'll be guided and supported by Sophia Ruan Gushée.

Daily Detox Actions for a Safer, Cleaner Home

Receive Daily Guidance (detailed tasks) to remove toxins

Everyday, you'll receive an email (like in the pictures above) to remind you to log into your Ruan Living Online Portal (right photo in the row above in desktop view). It offers words of wisdom to bring kind energy to your detox.

Once you login, you'll find "Daily Guidance," the day's "menu" of detox options (in the picture to the right on desktop view).

Expert-Guided, Science-Backed Strategies

For about 30 days, you'll be using Ruan's signature LOLA POP Detox Method^TM to scavenger hunt for "Household Repeat Offenders," which are prevalent sources of toxicity that exist in countless products. I identified Household Repeat Offenders (see below) after scouring through hundreds of peer-reviewed or government papers on chemicals and ingredients in our consumer products. Eventually, I identified them as "common denominators" that you can avoid with informed commonsense.

Exclusive Access to The D-Tox Academy & Community Support 

Throughout your 40-Day Home Detox, I am accessible via our Ruan Living Online Portal or email to support you. After you've completed 40-Day Home Detox, you can choose when you'd like to begin your 12-month membership at the D-Tox Academy, which will be very helpful in detailing safer products swaps, shopping guides, workshops, and more.

The following image shows a workshop on how to protect your brain health from nanoplastics. There are many more detox workshops and other educational content that you can access via any Internet-enabled device including the free Ruan Living app.
