The Ultimate Guide to Toxin-Free Living: A Healthier Home for You and Your Kids
As of 2023, 1 in 30 kids are diagnosed with autism—up from 1 in 150 in 2000. What’s behind this alarming rise? Experts believe environmental toxins may play a huge role. From food and water to air and everyday products, toxic exposure is an unseen but serious threat to our children's health.
Hi, I’m Greer—Registered Dietitian, Certified Detox Specialist, and Master Herbalist. I created Biomedical Healing for Kids after experiencing firsthand the power of detox in my son’s autism healing journey. Now, I'm passionate about helping parents create healthier, toxin-free environments for their children.
If you're looking for a roadmap to clean living, you're in the right place.
Why Go Toxin-Free?
Toxic exposure has been linked to:
● Autism and ADHD
● Allergies and asthma
● Hormonal imbalances
● Immune dysfunction
● Mood and behavioral disorders
● Cancer and chronic illness
The 4 Pillars of Detoxing Your Home
These are the foundational areas where you can reduce toxins in your household:
1. Clean Water
Tap water often contains PFAS, fluoride, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Consider investing in high-quality filters like:
● Reverse Osmosis Systems: APEC, AquaTru
● Whole-House Filters: SpringWell, Pelican
● Countertop Gravity Filters: Berkey, Clearly Filtered
2. Clean Food
Go organic when possible to avoid pesticides and heavy metals in food. Start small:
● Choose organic produce and meats
● Avoid seed oils like canola and soybean
● Swap plastic food containers for glass or stainless steel
3. Clean Air
Indoor air can be 2–5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Make simple swaps:
● Ditch synthetic candles and air fresheners
● Use HEPA air purifiers
● Bring in air-cleaning plants like snake plants and peace lilies
4. Clean Products
From lotions to cleaning sprays, your everyday products matter. Choose items free from parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. Look for certifications like:
● MADE SAFE®
● GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)
● EWG Verified
Simple Swaps, Big Impact! You don’t have to change everything overnight. Start with items used most often:
● Toothpaste and floss
● Cookware and cutting boards
● Shampoo and body wash
● Cleaning sprays and laundry detergent
Then, as you run out of old products, replace them with safer options.
