Did you know that most women use, on average, 12 personal care products each day? That translates to putting about 168 chemicals onto your body every time you use them. Unfortunately, some of those chemical ingredients are endocrine disruptors or carcinogens. So how do you know if you’re using products with these so-called “toxic” ingredients? Shannon Garcia, registered dietitian and an expert on reducing the toxin load in your home, is talking us through ingredients to avoid; which products are the biggest offenders when it comes to toxin exposure; and her favorite safer brands when it comes to skincare, cleaning products, laundry, and more.
Today’s guest is Media Dietitian and Safer Living Expert, Shannon A. Garcia, MDS, RD, LD. Here’s how to find Shannon.
