Your Laundry Detergent Might Be the Most Toxic Thing in Your Life — Branch Basics Explains Why
I've been using Branch Basics for five years. It changed my health before I even fully understood why. In this episode I sit down with Allison Love, co-founder of Branch Basics, to break down something most people never think about: the toxic load hiding in your cleaning products, laundry detergent, personal care items and yes, the air inside your own home. We talk about how Allison's co-founder reversed her PCOS not through medication but by changing what she was washing her clothes with. We talk about Marylee, their mentor, whose son went from a healthy, coordinated child to barely being able to lift his head off a pillow after pesticide exposure, and how stripping their home one product at a time brought him back. We also get into why the word "natural" on a label means nothing, how fragrance hides hundreds of toxic chemicals in a single word, why your sanitizers and disinfectants may actually be making you more vulnerable to getting sick, and what the word "fragrance" is legally allowed to conceal. I share my own story too. Ovarian cysts since 15. One ovary reconstructed. Migraines. Inflammation. And how switching my environment, not just my diet, changed everything.
