Are the things you trust most in your daily routine secretly harming you? You probably think it’s not BUT just because you can’t see it doesn't mean it’s not there! It’s in the air you breathe, the water you drink and in the products you use every day. Shocking, right?!

In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, we're diving deep into the pervasive impact of mold exposure and everyday chemicals with Dr. Aly Cohen who is on a mission to bring toxin awareness into school curriculums and educate younger generations about the importance of a strong, health-focused lifestyle.
