Fertility Detox
to optimize fecundity
The Problem
Since World War II, more than 82,000 chemicals have been introduced into American commerce. Each year, thousands of new chemicals are introduced and the production volume is millions of pounds per some chemicals. And less than 1% are tested for safety.
Increasingly, these toxic exposures are recognized as contributors to things such as hormone disruption, autoimmune issues, cancer, infertility, birth defects, and fetal origins of adult diseases. The data continues to attract further study—and concern—on how these toxic exposures are affecting our brains, nervous systems, hearts, endocrine systems, immune systems, and reproductive health. In the meantime, governments and experts worldwide and within the US are recommending a precautionary approach towards toxic exposures.
Since physicians are often not trained to consider how toxic exposures may influence the patient, patients have a hard time getting informed and learning how to reduce their avoidable toxic exposures.
The Solution
The Ruan Immersion Detox (RID) structures solutions to this unstructured problem, and simplifies this highly complex issue. Through RID, you will also enjoy the calming support and guidance from Sophia’s experience, expertise, practical wisdom, and commonsense approach to living a less toxic lifestyle.
A Modern Elimination Diet
Commonly referred to our diets, an "elimination diet" benefits you by monitoring your symptoms' responses by removing an item for a period of time and then re-introducing it. RID extends that approach to our toxic exposures—chemicals, heavy metals, and EMFs. And RID focuses on changing what is easy for us to control and on the changes that you won't mind making.
HOME
Detox your indoor air, dust, water, sleep, cleaning products, body burden, and more!
DIET
Reduce toxic chemicals and heavy metals from your diet.
SELF-CARE
Swap toxic beauty and self-care products with healthier alternatives.
TECHNOLOGY
Reduce your EMF exposures and create EMF recovery periods. Another benefit: Social-emotional improvements from a healthier relationship with technology.
Timing is Everything
The risks from our toxic exposures increase during certain stages of our lives. Our most vulnerable time is during our prenatal period. So, if you're pregnant—or looking forward to being pregnant (detoxing before conception is ideal)—then seriously consider RID.
Generally, the younger the life, the more important it is to be conservative about toxic exposures. Other key times are around stages of significant changes in human development—like prenatally, postnatally, during puberty, and around menopause. While a RID that starts before you and your partner begin trying to conceive is ideal for your future children, it's never too late to benefit from a less toxic lifestyle!
The Ruan Immersion Detox can guide you through your detox journey.

Invest in Your Children’s Lifelong Health
The Fetal Origins of Adult Disease (FOAD) is a hypothesis made popular by the late Dr. David Barker circa 1994. FOAD suggests that our prenatal experience may contribute to health issues—from birth defects to chronic adult diseases.
Examples of outcomes that scientists have been studying for possible fetal origins include:
-
birth defects (including to the male and female reproductive system)
-
cardiovascular disease
-
cognitive impairments
-
diabetes
-
low birth weight
-
obesity
-
mental health
-
and more
Our toxic exposures—chemicals, heavy metals, and EMFs—from our environment and lifestyles have changed dramatically since World War 2. Consequently, our toxic exposures have become an increasingly influential—and overlooked—pillar of health. However, authorities have been updating their recommendations as science has been proving the importance of reducing our toxic exposures.
