Description

Episode 131 – Part 3 of Season 2: Forever Chemicals Detox 101

Your DNA is not a life sentence. While genetics play a role in health, research shows that everyday exposures from your home and environment generally matter far more in determining long-term outcomes.

In this episode of Practical Nontoxic Living™, Sophia Ruan Gushée introduces how household toxic exposures, specifically PFAS (forever chemicals) exposure, can influence cancer. You’ll hear why most cancers and many chronic conditions are driven not by genes, but by environmental and lifestyle factors.

Most importantly, you’ll learn simple, practical steps you can take at home to reduce exposures and protect your family’s health.
