Gas stoves, they're a big deal.

A friend of mine is the CEO of an appliance company and he told me all the research they've done on gas stoves and how potentially harmful they are.

And what can they do?

They can cause asthma, brain fog, they can disrupt your immune system, many, many other things they can

So what can you do that's easy, that's high impact?

Keep your windows open, especially if you're getting new furniture, but better to get furniture that's more made with natural products.

For example, I have a mattress that is a great mattress.

It's a latex mattress.

It's made from natural materials.

It's from Essentia.

It's kind of like a Tempur-Pedic.

I did have a Tempur-Pedic once, and when I bought it, I was like, oh my God, this thing just stinks.

And you could smell all the off-gassing of all the chemicals.

I didn't really know what I was doing at the time, but it was pretty bad.

Have an air purifier.

I have an air filter in my bedroom and all the rooms I spend the most time in the house.

You want a HEPA or ultra HEPA air purifier with activated carbon.

And listen, if you can get older furniture where most of it's off-gas or NTs, if you can and afford it, I would encourage you to get furniture and bedding and couches and

other you know build public products that are are non-toxic and you can find those uh and especially if they're in bedrooms and nurseries be careful so when you're buying new furniture look for solid wood instead of particle board get antiques if you can choose low voc or non voc finishes like paints uh and there's certifications you can check out like green guard sort of pure us for foam fsc certified wood there's a lot of things you can do out there to reduce your exposures

Next topic, and this is one of my favorites, is how do you support your body's own detox system?
