There was a point in my life where I used "natural" deodarant, made my own cleaning supplies and laundry detergents, and thought any "man-made chemicals" were going to harm my health. 
This all came from being exposed to fear-mongering health information on my journey of wanting to learn more about nutrition.
I read information from several websites and books that I now cringe at...
 But at the time I thought they were credible sources of information.
In this episode, I talk about my own health journey, how it inspired me to go into nurition as a profession, and how I developed a lot of false beliefs and then un-learned those beliefs.
