0:00.0	This is the Pursuit of Wellness Podcast and I'm your host, Mari Lawellan.
0:08.4	Hi guys, welcome back to POW. Today we have an amazing episode all about non-toxic living. This is
0:16.2	something that I have really evolved into over the past couple years. I think having this podcast and speaking
0:22.7	to some amazing experts has really helped me lean into that and really embrace non-toxic living
0:28.8	where I can in a balanced way. I think there's definitely two ends of the spectrum, like full non-toxic
0:35.4	living where you avoid every chemical possible and live in
0:39.4	the middle of nowhere. And then there's the other spectrum where you are like ingrained in toxins
0:43.9	every day. And I think that there's a middle ground. And I think by listening to the experts we have on

1:30.5	and our health in general. So I think where we can, embracing non-toxic living can just only help
1:36.7	us, our future children, the kids you have now, our pets, whatever it may be. So I really think
1:44.0	you guys will enjoy this episode. We have some
1:46.1	amazing guests on the show with amazing advice for products you can use for non-toxic
1:51.3	personal care and household products, even improving air quality in the home. That's been huge
1:56.4	for me and Greg. Filtering water. There's so many things you can do. I think creating a sanctuary
