You Didn’t Come This Far to Let Your Home Set You Back
After overcoming health struggles, the last thing you want is to feel like toxins in your home are undermining your progress. But if you’re questioning whether you’re just being overly cautious or imagining things, it’s okay—you’re not alone. I guide clients through clear, easy steps to help them create a healthier, safer home. No more confusion, no more second-guessing, just the clarity you need to make the right choices.
What Is a Healthy Home?
Why Should I Care?
A healthy home actively supports your well-being by minimizing toxins, reducing your exposure and absorption. It’s estimated that we’re exposed to 2.1 million toxins daily, with around 700 present in our bodies at any time. Common issues like headaches, allergies, asthma, and ongoing stress can often be worsened by household toxins, potentially leading to more serious chronic health problems over time.
This is new to me. How am I absorbing toxins in my home?
We spend over 90% of our time indoors, and the toxins we absorb from our homes can linger in our bodies for up to 50 years
We absorb toxins by inhaling (breathing in which then go into our bloodstream), ingesting (swallowing), injection (when something contaminated punctures our skin, which then makes its way into our bloodstream), and absorption (through our skin or eyes).
We often think of eating healthier food and exercising to stay healthy but fail to think about is reducing the amount of toxins our body absorbs. This is the air we breathe, water we drink and bathe with, electronics we surround ourselves with and products we use. Most people don’t realize the air inside of our homes is 2-5 times more polluted than outside or that when city water is treated for bacteria and viruses, cancer-causing chemicals are by products of this process.
What are warning signs that toxins in my home are affecting me and my family?
Symptoms from toxins in the home typically show up as manageable irritants that we get used to living with and don’t think much about such as headaches, allergies, stress, or flare-ups. If you don’t address the root cause in your living space, these manageable nuisances can turn into more serious and unmanageable issues.
How are children impacted?
Children are especially vulnerable, and pregnant women can unknowingly pass these toxins to their unborn babies.
Children are also more vulnerable to toxins because their bodies and organs are still developing. The liver and kidneys, which remove toxins from the body, are not fully matured, making it more difficult to process and eliminate harmful substances. Additionally, children’s bodies are in a state of rapid growth, with cells dividing quickly, which increases the chances of toxins interfering with their development.
Children are also more exposed to toxins than adults due to several factors. They breathe more rapidly, which increases their intake of airborne toxins relative to their smaller body size. Their frequent hand-to-mouth behavior, especially in younger kids, results in higher ingestion of harmful substances from contaminated objects and surfaces. Additionally, because children spend a lot of time playing on the ground, they are more likely to come into contact with dust, dirt, and chemicals that accumulate on floors and other surfaces.
Early exposure to toxins can lead to long-term health issues. Their developing brains and nervous systems are particularly sensitive to neurotoxins, and exposure during critical growth phases can have lasting effects on their cognitive and physical development.
How important is this? Will any of these changes actually make a difference?
The environment you live in influences everything from respiratory health to stress levels, sleep quality, and overall quality of life.
Creating a healthy home is vital for creating a safe, supportive, and nourishing environment where your wellness can thrive, and the changes you make can have lasting, meaningful impacts on your health and happiness.
Small adjustments to reduce the toxic load on your body can lead to:
- Reduced allergens, headaches, brain fog, and stress
- More energy throughout the day
- Improved sleep quality
- Fewer flare-ups if you’re managing chronic conditions
Over time, these changes contribute to your health and wellness.
