Nontoxic Living
Simplified for You
Unburdening your biology and immune system has never been more important than in our post-COVID19 environment. Learn practical tips from nontoxic lifestyle expert Sophia Ruan Gushée, author of the critically acclaimed book A to Z of D-Toxing: The Ultimate Guide to Reducing Our Toxic Exposures.
We will focus on the toxic exposures—toxic chemicals, heavy metals, electromagnetic fields, and stress—from what you buy and do. Through small tweaks that you won't mind pursuing, you will detox your home, diet, self-care, technology, body, and our planet.
The most effective way to detox your body is to detox your home and habits.
The health and wellness that we are each capable of experiencing may be as unique as our fingerprints. Through a healthy lifestyle, we can optimize our potential. With COVID-19 at the top of our minds, detoxing our environments and supporting our immune systems has never been more obviously important.
Often overlooked are the toxic exposures from what we buy and do. And our home is an important—and manageable—area that we can influence. That's the kind of detoxification that I focus on!
Reducing your toxic exposures is the safest and most effective approach to detoxify your body. And A to Z of D-Toxing is an essential resource for every healthy home.
Since I wanted to refer to this healthy living book often, I designed A to Z of D-Toxing to be easy-to-skim (you can learn something by flipping to any page and reading even just one sentence), and cool enough to leave on a coffee table.
Transform Your Home
Home is often an overlooked pillar of health and well-being. Science has proven that our physical environments—including our built environments—can influence our immune responses, emotions, memories, stress, creativity, productivity, and healing.
Embrace practical nontoxic living to boost your healthy living efforts and intentions. Start by checking out free tips on my podcast, blog, and mailing list. Or, purchase my critically-acclaimed book: A to Z of D-Toxing.

We will pursue simple tweaks: Low hanging fruit. My detox approach is to hack your toxic exposures from what you buy and do, while never threatening your joy.

Listen to the Podcast
I love learning from the top experts. I share these conversations through my free healthy living podcast, Practical Nontoxic Living. I hope it helps you discover practical nontoxic living as fascinating, empowering, and rewarding as I have.
Topics covered on my healthy lifestyle podcast that I didn't cover as much in my book A to Z of D-Toxing include EMF sensitivity (or electromagnetic sensitivity), chemical sensitivity, energy balance and optimization, reproductive health and fertility, and natural remedies to restore health, healing, and resiliency. Check out one of the best health and wellness podcasts today.
Read my Book
I created A to Z of D-Toxing to be the must-have reference book for nontoxic living. It covers key areas that a head of household should know for practical approaches to creating a practical nontoxic environment: cleaning, personal care products, diet, interior furnishings, and children's stuff. Pick from hundreds of tips to detox your home, diet, self-care, and technology.
A to Z of D-Toxing lays the groundwork for understanding the complex risks from our toxic exposures. It introduces EMFs, but EMFs is addressed more in my online EMF Detox workshop. However, A to Z of D-Toxing prioritizes how to focus your efforts with a 10-stage "D-Tox Strategy."
D-Tox Academy
Don't have time or desire to research which detox steps to take? I designed the D-Tox Academy for my younger self, who often thought, "I don't want to do the research! I wish an informed mom would just tell me what I should know and my options of what I can do — prioritized by importance or impact. And in a 10-30 second video!" Since I never found that, I created the D-Tox Academy to fulfill that wish. *Starts late spring 2020!*
