Show description:  When it comes to our mental and physical health, we often focus on what we should eat, how much we should exercise, and how much we should meditate, and forget to take a good look at where we spend most of our time: our homes. In this podcast, I speak with Marilee Nelson, founder of Branch Basics, about how the hidden toxins in our home can affect our mental and physical wellbeing, how to keep our living spaces free of toxic chemicals and products, how to protect our brains and bodies outside of the home and more!
