Hi!
I am passionate about empowering people with the safest way to detox: avoiding toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from what we buy, own and do.
Why do I care so much? Because it's super influential and often overlooked.
My interest in avoiding toxicity that's easy to avoid began soon after my first daughter was born in 2007. Stunned at how much our purchasing increased for her (and for every pursuant development stage and subsequent child), I was troubled to learn that these products could expose her to toxic chemicals and heavy metals that could participate in her development. Hundreds of credible reports led me to realize that it was reasonable—and important—to avoid toxic chemicals and heavy metals from her baby bottles, baby bottle nipples, infant formula, food, crib mattresses, pacifiers, and more.
For approximately eight years, I dived deep into the most credible science available and shared what I wish I knew sooner in my first book A to Z of D-Toxing: The Ultimate Guide to Reducing Our Toxic Exposures (published in 2015).
Since 2007, I have been fine-tuning how I apply relevant science into real life—as a NYC mom of three incredible daughters and wife to a Manifesting Generator (I'm an MG too).
The Ultimate Home Detox program simplifies this highly complex topic into my commonsense approach. Truly, it is the most transformative and invaluable experience to optimize your health and well-being. To listen to my conversations with health & wellness rockstars, follow my Practical Nontoxic Living podcast.
I am passionate about making practical nontoxic living easier for others, and I welcome feedback on any social media channel @ruanliving (or see the footer of this page) or [email protected].
Sincerely,
Sophia
