Have you ever imagined a world where the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat could potentially harm us? The reality is, we have become acclimated to a toxic environment without even realizing it. Our bodies are constantly exposed to harmful chemicals, pollutants, and heavy metals, leading to various health problems that we may not have previously attributed to our surroundings.

Today, we are so fortunate to have Ryan Blaser, CEO of Test My Home, to raise awareness about the importance of testing for environmental toxins in the home. He talks about the concept of a “toxic bucket,” different capacities for detoxifying, the four main pillars of health, and so much more. Don’t miss this exciting episode of the Future Generations Podcast with your host, Dr Stanton Hom!
