#102 - Tessa Bowman: On Non-Toxic Living Throughout Pregnancy and Parenthood

In recent decades, we’ve seen rapidly increasing rates of infertility, declining sperm counts, and growing health issues. As a collective, we must take a step back and consider all the environmental toxins we’re exposing ourselves to. From personal care products like lotions and floss to lawn care compounds and laundry detergent, we’re living in a beautiful time where there’s a healthy, non-toxic option for almost anything. Unfortunately, many people are still unaware of the huge toxic load the average household is exposed to and the harmful effects of continuing like this. Today I’m joined by holistic nutritionist and healthy living expert Tessa Bowman to talk about how we can make sense of overly confusing labels and shift to a low-toxic lifestyle.

The institutions and individuals who run the world would like you to believe that you are powerless. That there's nothing you can do to improve the wellbeing of your family. That you aren't smart enough to understand shmancy science stuff. That eating and living well is too hard for most...so why try? That exercising your rights to informed consent and refusal is irresponsible. That having a birth on you terms, in your own home would be incorrigible. That pregnancy is a disease and childbirth is a medical procedure. That your symptoms are "all in your head". That cervical cancer is an inevitable consequence of HPV infection. They're wrong. Welcome to your revolution.
