Episode notes
Try A Two‑Week Fragrance Detox
- Remove fragranced products from your home for two weeks and observe changes in sleep, brain fog, and mood.
- Put items outside rather than throw them away so you can easily test the difference.
Personal Health Tied To Diet And Toxins
- Diet and environmental exposures shaped Natasha's own ADHD, depression, and energy before she changed them.
- Lab testing revealed nutrient deficiencies (e.g., zinc) that improved symptoms when treated.
Start With One Homemade Meal A Week
- Cut ultra-processed foods and reduce sugar; aim to lower daily sugar far below current averages.
- Prioritize homemade meals: start with one cooked family meal per week to shift habits.
