In this powerful conclusion to the Detox Your Life series on The Functional Edge, Dr. Julia Ward uncovers a silent threat hiding in plain sight—your home’s air. While we focus on the food we eat and the products we use, the air we breathe every day can be even more toxic, and often overlooked.
Dr. Ward explains how modern homes can trap pollutants from synthetic materials, harsh cleaners, artificial fragrances, and other sources. She shares practical, science-backed strategies—from smart ventilation hacks to choosing the right air purifiers—that can help reduce exposure to VOCs, flame retardants, and other harmful chemicals.

Small, sustainable changes can have a big impact, starting with every breath you take.Dr. Julia Ward, MD, is a leading expert in functional medicine and holistic health.
