I’M TONYA HARRIS – AWARD-WINNING ENVIRONMENTAL TOXIN EXPERT, CHILDHOOD CANCER SURVIVOR, MOM OF THREE, AND AN INCURABLE OPTIMIST.
And why should you trust me? Here are a few of my certifications:
- Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition
- Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition
- Environmental Toxicity Specialist certificate from the Integrative Medicine Academy
- Certificate in Environmental Health: An Integrative Approach, from the University of Arizona’s™ Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine
- Certificate in Nutritional Strategies to Prevent and Manage Autism Spectrum Disorder, Hawthorn University
- Aromatherapy & Health Certificate from the University of Arizona’s™ Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine
- Speaker-trained on the health implications of GMOs from Jeffrey Smith; Institute of Responsible Technology
All of this education and these certifications mean that I understand what toxins do to the human body: what toxins to take out when your kid suffers from a rash… what dietary changes to make in case of ADHD… and so much more.
And besides all this?
I’m a busy, budget-conscious mom, just like you.
That’s why I wrapped up my unbiased, science-backed answers into doable solutions you can apply today – without giving up your lifestyle.
Step-by-step strategies for reducing toxins that don’t involve…
- Throwing out all your kid’s plastic toys (even *sigh* rubber ducky)
- DIY-ing all your personal care products (Seriously…who’s got time for that?!)
- Waving buh-bye to your favorite mascara (Confession: I didn’t)
- Spending $1500/m on health store foods
- Cleaning the windows with onions (Really?!)
We all want the very best for our kids, and our own health.
And you might be wondering….
- ADHD, autism, learning disabilities – what the heck is going on?!
- Why can’t I lose weight?
- What can I do to keep my family safe?
- If not the labels, who can I trust?
That’s where I come in.
I’ve done thousands of hours of research – and went back to school – so that I could understand how these toxicants work in the body. I’ve researched what labels mean, what hidden toxins could be lurking on a label (that aren’t required to be listed in the ingredients), and much more.
What I’ve come up with is a streamlined system that helped me on my journey to becoming greener, and I can help you, too.
The good news is that even the small changes can make a big difference in our health. We don’t have to do everything all at once. It’s ok to be just slightly greener.
And once you start, you’ll see how easy it is. You’ll be on your way to the shade of green that you’re comfortable with, whatever shade that is for you and your family.
Join me in the Slightly Greener movement, and throw perfection out the window! It’s all about the small changes you can make over time.
