Abstract:
Suzanne Somers delivers an expose on the immediate and long-term dangers of living in a world that has become increasingly toxic to our health. The build-up of toxins in our bodies can lead to myriad health concerns, including weight gain, food allergies, brain disorders, cancer, among many others. Moved to investigate by her own family's plight, Suzanne sits down with environmental doctors and specialists who share eye-opening information and practical advice for how to survive, thrive, and stay healthy today.
