Health-conscious mother of three, Sophia Ruan Gushee thought she knew how to be healthy. Only after she became a mother did she become aware of an overlooked influence on health: toxic exposures. These pervade not just our outdoor environments but also our homes, bodies, and diet. And, while sensitivities vary, we are especially vulnerable during periods of rapid biological development. Therefore, protecting children should be a top priority.

Bio: Sophia's book, A to Z of D-Toxing: The Ultimate Guide to Reducing Our Toxic Exposures, was conceived as a reference manual that offers a science-based overview of the toxins that surround us -- information that should be readily available to everyone. She presents the book now as a guide for individuals and families to become more informed about our toxic environment, and offers practical tips to reduce our toxic exposures. These tips help increase the odds of more resilient health for not just individuals but also for our planet. Sophia earned a Bachelor of Arts from Brown University and a Master in Business Administration from Columbia University. She is also a certified yoga teacher, living in New York City with her family
