A Fresh Start for Your Home
The New Year is the perfect time to reset not just your habits, but also your home environment. Dr. Karlfeldt emphasizes that your surroundings—air, water, cookware, and cleaning products—directly impact your terrain. Small swaps can reduce toxic load, support detoxification, and create a healthier environment for recovery.
Why Home Matters for Healing
Every day, we are exposed to chemicals in plastics, cleaners, and cookware. These substances can:
- Increase oxidative stress
- Contribute to inflammation
- Disrupt hormone balance
- Impair cellular repair
By creating a safer, cleaner home environment, you give your body the freedom to focus on healing rather than constantly defending itself.
Practical Detox Swaps
- Cookware: Switch from non-stick or aluminum pans to stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic.
- Cleaning Products: Choose plant-based, fragrance-free, or DIY cleaners instead of harsh chemicals.
- Plastics: Replace food storage and water bottles with glass or stainless steel.
- Air Quality: Use HEPA filters, indoor plants, or ventilation to reduce pollutants.
- Personal Care: Opt for natural, non-toxic shampoos, lotions, and cosmetics.
- Water: Filter tap water to remove chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants.
Even small changes, made consistently, reduce toxic burden and improve your body’s internal environment.
