Listen as we speak with Megan Mikkelsen from Detox by Design about decreasing the toxins in our homes and the little steps we can take to improve our health. Some examples of questions we will dive into are:
Why should we think about the products we bring into the home?
Why can't we trust marketing claims?
What ingredients should we look out for?
What is greenwashing and how to spot it.
 
A little about Megan:
“Health, the environment, and creating beauty in interiors have been my top interests since I was a teen. I went on to get my Masters of Public Health, had a 15+ year career in health education and made a mid-life switch to interior design. The blend of creating beautiful, happy, AND healthy homes is where my true passion lies.
When I become a mom, I dove head first into making our home healthier. I wanted to create a healthy and happy home for our family. Raising my daughters in an environment with minimal toxins - that’s the crux of my “why”. We live in a word of too much knowledge and it can be completely overwhelming to decipher what is truly healthy and green. At the same time we want to create comfortable and beautiful spaces at home. That’s why I created Detox by Design - to share toxin-free living strategies, providing the knowledge you need to make safer choices for your family while creating a beautiful home at the same time.
I share tips on how to easily and quickly detox and create beauty at home through my podcast Toxin-Free Talk. I also share tips in my Facebook group, Toxin-Free Talk, and on Instagram. I also share weekly tips in my email newsletter.”

Listen to our episode on exploring the Mis-Conceptions of “Toxin-Free” Products with our guest Noelle Talley, owner and founder of Noelle’s Naturals. Noelle started her toxin-free journey as she was struggling with significant fertility issues that were eventually resolved by changing her diet and products she was using to toxin-free alternatives. Along the way she decided to develop her own line of products in order to provide healthy options for her and her family, and be able to share those products with others. Listen as Dr. Bobbie and Dr. Jess discuss the commonly min-used used words such as natural, organic, toxin-free, natural fragrance and ways to see if the product is legitimately a healthy option.
