Her mission is to make low-waste living free, easy, and fun for everyone while educating her audience about climate-related issues.

Emma shares some simple tricks for spotting these products while offering helpful advice on seeking out truly green alternatives for products such as laundry detergents, dishwasher soaps, and other household cleaning products.

Take Your Power Back from Autoimmunity with Julie Michelson
Have you ever wondered… “what are the first steps to take in order to begin turning my health around and why are there so many things I’ve tried before and none have worked”? In today’s episode Tee’s guest Julie Michelson is here to give you some answers to those questions and so many more. Julie is a best-selling author, international speaker, national board-certified functional medicine health coach, and the host of the Inspired Living with Autoimmunity Podcast. Julie is passionate about helping high achievers who are struggling with inflammation take back control of their symptoms to recover their energy, focus, and vitality. “I was in my early 30s when I began struggling with symptoms of autoimmunity. Being a single mother of two, whose energy kept tanking and whose pain kept getting worse was not easy. But it was nothing compared to the frustration and helplessness of visiting countless doctors, who all said that it was only going to get worse…thankfully, I disagreed. And I educated myself. Slowly, I began changing my mindset, my diet, and my habits. And today I’m healthier than I was in my 30s!” Follow Julie: Website: http://www.juliemichelson.com/ Podcast: https://inspiredliving.show/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/julie.michelson/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/juliemichelsoncoaching Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-michelson-coach/ _______________________________________________ Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Tee’s Organics - Therese’s Healthy Products for You and Your Home: https://thegreenlivinggurus.com/shop-tees-organics/ The Green Living Gurus Website: https://thegreenlivinggurus.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greenlivinggurus/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW7_phs1GZUPzG21Zgjnqtw Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GreenLivingGurus Healthy Living Group on Facebook Tip the podcaster!
