Your home may look clean and cozy, but hidden toxins in laundry products, candles, and plastics quietly attack your mitochondria. Learn where they hide, how they harm, and simple swaps to protect your energy.

Did you know the average person breathes in around 11,000 liters of air every single day? That is a huge amount of oxygen and potentially a huge amount of hidden toxins.

If that air is not clean, your lungs have to filter it and your body has to detox it.
