Description

Decreased toxic burden = increased health and wellbeing! Come learn easy ways to minimize chemical exposure in your home. Toxic burden is a real threat to our health and wellbeing. While we can't avoid many forms of chemical exposure in today's world, we can take small steps that can lead to big impact over time. Addressing the chemical load of your home is key, particularly if there are children living under your roof -- childhood cancer is up ~25% in the last generation, incidences of asthma have surged in recent years, and one in six children deals with at least one developmental disorder. Chances are that endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and other types of chemicals in your home are slowly, but surely, wreaking havoc in some way (respiratory and central nervous systems are often involved). Come learn from a group of practitioners who have lived through, or witnessed, the effects of chemical toxicity and now dedicate a portion of their careers to teaching and helping others. Presented by: Dr. Susan Rao (Doctor of Chiropractic + Clinical Chiropractic Neurologist), Ashley Rew-Hunter (MONAT Leader + Licensed Specialist in School Psychology), Karen Jansen (dōTERRA Leader + Wellness Advocate), Jeni Lowry (Beautycounter Consultant + Occupational Therapist + Integrative Nutrition Student), Irina Henofer (Norwex Consultant), Melissa Mathews (MONAT Consultant + Speech-Language Pathologist + Assistive Technology Professional).
