We all know that completely eliminating your exposure to toxins while preparing for a pregnancy (and beyond) is impossible…

The good news is there are common sense ways to dramatically eliminate excess exposure. For example, almost everyone remodels a room for the new nursery, yet it’s really easy to forget that during remodeling you significantly increase your exposure to many toxins including lead, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and others.
