Summary

In this episode, Melissa sits down with Allison Evans, Co-Founder of Branch Basics, to share her incredible journey of creating non-toxic cleaning products while promoting wellness and education. Diagnosed with PCOS in 2002 and told she might not conceive naturally, Allison is now about to have her fourth child, crediting the lifestyle changes she’s made. They discuss the power of food as medicine and how harmful fragrances and perfumes, even from luxury brands, can affect our health. Allison highlights the versatility of Branch Basics' all-purpose solution, from washing vegetables to cleaning counters, and emphasizes the importance of controlling the products we use daily in our homes. From choosing organic foods to selecting “fragrance-free” over “unscented” products, she shares her top tips, including ditching exterminators and switching to clean laundry detergents, noting that pesticides are a major contributor to health issues like childhood cancer. Tune in to hear some of the products she swears by and get inspired to make shifts in your life that prioritize your health and wellbeing.
