How to Go Toxic Free With Environmental Journalist Anna Turns
03/27/23 • 40 min
This week Tee was thrilled to welcome Anna Turns to the podcast to discuss a favorite topic of the show, environmental toxins. Anna is a freelance environmental journalist based in the UK. Since studying biology at university, she has worked in the media for more than 20 years. First TV, then magazine journalism. Anna has freelanced for more than a decade and writes regularly for the Guardian, BBC, and many other national publications. She has taught journalism undergraduates at Plymouth Marjon University and enjoys presenting episodes of Costing the Earth for BBC Radio 4. Her work focuses on solutions, progress, innovations, and the changemakers pushing for a greener planet. In 2022, she published her first book, Go Toxic Free: Easy and sustainable ways to reduce chemical pollution.
In this chat, Anna talks about how inspiration from her daughter was the catalyst for becoming a more engaged activist and champion for the environment. Anna and Tee also break down a number of unique studies and experiments she participated in during her research process for the book and what that experience taught her about the realities of toxins and chemicals in our homes and environment.

Finding Freedom from Sugar with Melissa Rohlfs
This week Tee was delighted to welcome Melissa Rohlfs for a conversation about eliminating sugar from our daily diet and the importance of keeping a sharp eye out for processed sugars and sugar substitutes that pop up in foods you might not expect.
Melissa Rohlfs is a certified holistic health and life coach helping busy women find freedom and feel at peace with food, their bodies, and their lives. She is committed to empowering women to break free from dieting, emotional eating, and self-image issues so they can ditch the diet mentality and feel empowered in their own skin.
Melissa teaches women easy new strategies they can use to feel better instead of turning to food for relief. After her own tumultuous history with food {withholding and then later in life, binging}, she learned how to deal with the core issues around her broken relationship with food. As a result, she felt called to go to school and learn to teach other women how to do the same. Melissa graduated from the Health Coach Institute as a Holistic Health and Life Coach in 2018 and is the proud owner of Free 2B Coaching. She is also a proud Purdue Boilermaker alumni living in Arizona with her husband Chad and two kiddos.
