The work of my guest today — Genevieve White — is so important! She’s a Health Coach with a focus on environmental medicine.
It’s common, but not normal to be affected by our environment. So how do we help people recognize the things that are in their home that are filling up their cup faster than they should be? Environmental exposure is not just about its implications and chronic disease, but about the toxicity that we hold as a result of our environment! It’s often the reason for thyroid conditions, why we can’t lose weight and can impede us from feeling at our best all of the time.
In today’s conversation, Genevieve is going to take you through all the things you need to know about having a safe, secure, and health-optimized home. The space that you survive in is absolutely critical to giving you the energy you need to live the mission you are meant to live! Tune in to learn what you need to reexamine in your home, the things that you can (or should) change, and the things that you can do right away in order to be able to live your most optimal life in the place you spend the most time!
