065: Your Guide to a Total Home Detox

Detox your home + purify your air in 5 easy steps. Free calendar checklist included!


Ever find yourself questioning the air quality in your home?  How about your water?

Many of us have completed personal detoxes to eliminate internal toxins from our bodies. But how many of us tackle the toxins that reside in our homes?

Toxins are everywhere, even in the cleanest of living spaces. As such, indoor air quality is typically 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air.

Worst of all? Abundant toxins can + do lead to health problems.

There is good news, + it’s this: We can dramatically improve the health of our homes with simple changes.

On today’s episode I outline 5 such changes that require little effort but pack a big collective punch.

Pleasure-Saturated

We Homo Sapiens are notorious for avoiding pain and seeking pleasure. In fact, we have transformed the planet from a place of scarcity to a place of overwhelming abundance, with ample opportunities to flood our brains with dopamine at every turn.

But over-consuming has consequences: Exposure to prolonged and repeated pleasurable stimuli decreases our capacity to tolerate pain and increases our threshold for experiencing pleasure. 

On today's show: Resetting your neural set point to make dopamine work FOR you, not against you.


Here's a preview:
