Summary

What if the foods and products we trust every day are contributing to chronic health issues? Iliriana Balaj joins The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast with Ginny Yurich to share her personal journey of discovering the hidden toxins in everyday products—from protein powders to personal care items—and how they impacted her health. After years of struggling with migraines, skin issues, and digestive problems despite leading an active lifestyle, Iliriana took matters into her own hands, uncovering the unregulated additives and misleading marketing behind many common products. Her experience led her to create Live Healthillie, a trusted source for clean, low-tox alternatives. In this insightful conversation, Ginny and Iliriana discuss the challenges of navigating food labels, the importance of ingredient transparency, and the growing movement toward holistic wellness. They also touch on the widespread use of birth control as a default solution for women’s health concerns and the importance of informed choices. If you're looking for practical ways to reduce exposure to harmful ingredients and make more intentional health decisions, this episode is a must-listen. ** Learn more about everything Iliriana has to offer here Get your copy of Yummy Colors here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
