Avoiding Household Toxins Should Not be a Quest for Perfection

Avoiding Household Toxins Should Not be a Quest for Perfection

Author: Andrew Pace March 7, 2025 Duration: 1:02:26

If you have listened to this show for a while, you know that I focus on the built environment from a materials and systems approach.  The nuts and bolts, the wood and glue that our homes are made of, thats my expertise.  But what happens after the home built?  How do we live a healthier life beyond the building process?  The clothing we wear, the food we eat, the pots and pans we cook with…these topics require a more expert approach.  So today I asked my friend Lara Adler to join us to talk about this and tell us where we need to concentrate our efforts and maybe when we need to step back a bit and reduce our anxiety. 

Lara Adler is an environmental toxins expert who has become a trusted resource to thousands of health care practitioners all over the world, educating them about the links between the toxins in our everyday lives and the chronic health conditions their clients face.  She also is extremely active on social media where she shares her knowledge with anyone who is concerned about potential health hazards in the home.
