“The prevalence of environmental toxins, heavy metals, plastics, in the air that we breathe, the food that we eat, and the products we put on our skin has grown exponentially in the last 100 years.” Poppy Alvares.
This week on the Institute for Integrative Nutrition program I learnt about potentially harmful environmental toxins that are in household, beauty, and food products, and how they can affect our health.
This episode we have the lovely Poppy on the show. Poppy is a wellness alchemist, specialising in herbal medicine and naturopathy to help herself and others transform illness into wellness. She currently makes her own herbal remedies and botanical skincare, and will be offering 1:1 consultations from Autumn this year.
