She shares practical tips on detoxifying your life, from the food you eat to the air you breathe, emphasising the importance of clean water, clean air, and reducing exposure to synthetic chemicals. This episode isn't just about Elizabeth's personal story; it's a call to rethink our everyday choices and recognise their long-term impact on our health.
