Episode #15: Jessica Brennan
In this episode, Drs. Joanna & Ilan sat down with our friend Jessica Brennan, a Home Detox Concierge and owner of Clean Product Junkie, to discuss her experience helping moms navigate reducing exposure to harmful toxins both in personal care and household products.
When Jessica’s twin boys were both diagnosed with asthma (and one with eczema) at a very young age, she began questioning whether the ingredients in the personal care and household products she was using could be contributing to their intensifying symptoms.
After doing some research she came to understand the reality of the beauty and household product industries. She was stunned to learn that current federal regulations fail to protect the general public from harmful and toxic ingredients that research has linked to the exacerbation and even development of significant health conditions
Jessica shares her insights and provides helpful resources to help listeners become better equipped to not only avoid harmful ingredients, but also to find healthier alternatives to keep their families and homes as healthy as possible.
She also shares her experience visiting Washington, DC to advocate for more protective regulatory protections within these industries.
We hope you enjoy this episode, and be sure to check out some of the free resources that Jessica has created to help people identify some of the most harmful ingredients in popular products!
