Home Detox: Simple Steps to a Healthier Home & Life

Most women don’t realize how many harmful chemicals they’re exposed to daily—until it’s too late! In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Tee Forton-Barnes, a fierce advocate for low-tox living, who exposes the hidden dangers lurking in everyday products.

From cleaning supplies to personal care items, harmful chemicals may be contributing to headaches, allergies, respiratory issues, and even more serious conditions like cancer. And here’s the shocking truth—your indoor air may be more polluted than the air outside.

Tee doesn’t just sound the alarm—she gives you the tools to take control. You’ll learn how to spot dangerous ingredients on labels, swap out toxic products for safer alternatives, and create a home that protects your health and the environment. These changes aren’t complicated, but they’re life-changing.

If you’re ready to safeguard your health and reclaim your space, this episode is your starting point. Don’t wait—small changes today can lead to a longer, healthier tomorrow.

GUEST BIO

Therese(Tee) owns The Green Living Gurus where she is a Healthy Home advocate with Cancer in Mind Health Coach. She was very fortunate as she grew up in a very healthy home, eating mostly all organic food during the 60’s and 70’s when fast food and junk food were on the rise. She went to Ithaca College to open a health food store and has been helping people for over 40 years keep toxicants out of their homes. 

She is an entrepreneur, activist, podcast host, and educator. She spreads awareness of chemicals in everyday products that could cause cancer, and other health issues. She guides women in creating a less toxic home and lifestyle to ultimately increase the odds of a long, healthy, vital life and a safe environment in their homes. She does all of this through her weekly podcast, Green Living with Tee, her newsletter, blog posts, social media, home detox coaching, and ‘Tee’s Organics’, a line of household products that are healthy for you and your home.

She is constantly furthering her knowledge through various organizations such as Environmental Working Group, Made Safe, Silent Spring, Women’s Voices for the Earth, Plastic Pollution Coalition Clean and Healthy New York, International Society of Indoor Air Quality and the Collaborative on Health and Environment. She never stops learning and fighting for regulations and laws to change to protect us from harmful chemicals.

Besides living a healthy life, Therese loves to exercise, sip on organic wine, cook healthy meals, walk her dog, go to the beach, listen to live music, hang with her husband and dog Murphy, cruising in her 1971 Cutlass Supreme convertible and attending Buffalo Bills and Sabres game. She is a sports enthusiast and was also the past President of the Greater Buffalo Hall of Fame from 2012-2017. She is also the owner of a fan club for the Buffalo Bills, called www.waterbuffaloclub716.com
