Summary

This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Puori, Rythm Health, and Branch Basics. Some of the most harmful exposures in modern life don’t come all at once. They come from the small, everyday products and habits we rarely question. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Allison Evans to explore how the products we use in our homes every day may be quietly impacting our health. Allison shares her personal journey toward a low-toxin lifestyle and offers simple, practical ways to reduce toxic exposure without feeling overwhelmed. They discuss safer kitchen and laundry habits, the importance of water filtration, mold exposure, and how small intentional changes can help create a healthier home and family. Allison Evans, co-founder of Branch Basics, has dedicated herself to helping others reap the benefits of clean living. Removing toxins from her home and diet helped her overcome chronic pain and severe PCOS, and then several years later, a bad mold exposure and symptoms of chronic Lyme disease. She is passionate about helping others experience greater healing as she did.

0:00.0	Allison, you are on a mission to do something super important. We live in this toxic soup.
0:07.0	Every day there's a new headline about some new thing of microplastics in our brains,
0:14.0	pesticides causing Parkinson's disease, you name it. Every day we're learning more and more
0:20.0	about this milieu of toxins that
0:22.9	we're in. But you have an important message for us today and a powerful story. And that message
