Pioneering Today Melissa K Norris

This week I’m excited to have Laura Gilmour on the podcast talking about herbal elixirs, shrubs, cocktails and mocktails. She’s given me plenty of inspiration to start using my herb garden to create incredible drinks with health benefits! Laura also shared her favorite drink recipe using a blueberry and spruce shrub that sounds incredible. You can find that recipe and any other links mentioned in this episode at https://melissaknorris.com/436.

This week I’m sharing part two of my health journey and updating you on my six-month toxin results. Though I’m not going to disclose my exact detox protocol (because it’s so individualized based on my numbers and labs), I will be sharing some basic changes you can make in your life to immediately reduce your toxin exposure.

This week I’m sharing my health journey and update on some toxin testing I’ve been doing for better health. It’s been quite the journey, but one I’m happy to share about because I know I’m not the only one struggling from years of exposure to PFAS (or “forever chemical”). Unfortunately, our bodies don’t know what to do with these chemicals and the results can be devastating to our health.
