After discovering her toxic chemical levels were 88% higher than the average American, DailyMail Deputy Health Editor Alexa Lardieri took a bold step: she joined Ruan Living’s pioneering and transformative 40-Day Home Detox program to reduce her everyday exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA, BPS, phthalates, and benzene.
In this follow-up to episodes 86–89, Alexa returns to share her before-and-after Million Marker urine test results—and the data is powerful. Her bisphenol levels dropped from 88% to zero, and other chemicals linked to hormone disruption and cancer also fell significantly.
You’ll learn:
- The invisible yet measurable impact of toxic exposures in daily life
- How Alexa’s small product swaps led to big biological shifts
- What Alexa swapped to dramatically lower her bisphenol and benzene levels
- The role of urine testing for toxins in tracking real detox progress
- What factors might have temporarily elevated her phthalate levels again
- How travel, beauty products, and furniture can reintroduce exposures
- Smart strategies for choosing non-toxic furniture and textiles
Whether you're seeking hormone balance, fertility support, or cancer recovery, this episode reveals how detoxing your home can radically lower your toxic burden—in just 40 days.
