Description

Today’s guest is Kimia Arounian, founder of the instagram account Labels Matter (@labels_matter), an amazing online forum on which she shares science-backed information about various products across multiple industries. When we recorded this episode, she had around 50k in her audience, and since then it has continued to grow to over 86k, and I know it will continue to grow from here. She takes such an objective and balanced approach, I know you will find what she has to say insightful, refreshing, and motivating to start reading labels and increasing your consciousness around ingredients. 

Some highlights from our conversation include: 

• How a personal struggle with allergies motivated her to take her health into her own hands 
• While she believes western medicine is extremely important, she goes over where she thinks it falls short and what you can do about it. 
• How she deciphers conflicting information and what you can do to reduce your toxic load and find a balanced approach in navigating the information for yourself 
• What you need to know about the science in how certain products are made, and how to educate yourself 
• How she cultivates health consciousness in her kids while teaching them all about balance as well.
