Show Notes
Realizing you have environmental sensitivities to things like chemicals, EMFs or mold can be overwhelming. Many people don't know much about these sensitivities, what to do, where to go for help or how to explain what's happening and this can lead to additional stress and emotional burden on top of what is already being experienced with physical symptoms.
This insightful presentation will cover the following:

- Gaining perspective and the next steps to take
- Finding a medical practitioner who can help
- Immediate interventions to reduce exposures
- Working through tools for relief and wellbeing
- Planning ahead to minimize triggers
- Thinking about the future in terms of home/work environments

In this informative presentation, Andrea shares how to navigate your way through this and provides a practical roadmap of important considerations. It's empowering and reassuring to know that there are things you can do to make a difference and that help and support are available.
