With a master's degree in health psychology and more than two decades of experience in health and wellness, Jodi combines her passion for holistic health, herbal medicine, and consumer education to empower individuals to make healthier choices for themselves and their families.  Jodi shares the story behind Green Goo's creation, explaining how she discovered that many of the products sitting in her medicine cabinet contained synthetic ingredients she no longer felt comfortable using on herself or her future child. Alongside her sister, an herbalist and midwife, she began formulating herbal remedies using whole-plant ingredients grown in their own backyard. Their mission was simple: create effective first aid solutions that work with the body's natural healing processes while eliminating unnecessary chemicals, preservatives, and endocrine-disrupting ingredients commonly found in conventional products. Tee and Jodi explore the growing concerns surrounding chemical exposure, endocrine disruptors, synthetic fragrances, and the cumulative impact of personal care products on overall health. They discuss how the Industrial Revolution transformed the products we use every day, why chronic skin conditions and inflammation are becoming increasingly common, and how the skin's connection to the nervous and endocrine systems affects everything from sleep and mood to hormone balance and immune function. Jodi also shares practical advice for reducing toxic load through simple product swaps, rebuilding the skin's natural barrier, and embracing the healing power of plant-based ingredients.  Connect with Jodi:  Website  Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Use Promo Code Welcome15 for 15% off Your Order  Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Austin Air Purifiers: For podcast listeners, take 15% off any Austin Air product; please email Tee@thegreenlivinggurus.com and mention that you want to buy a product and would like the discount.
