Sometimes indoor air quality can be more than five times as polluted as outdoor air. That's because indoor air is not circulated as much as outside air and airborne pollutants thrive inside of our home. Air purifiers can refresh stale air and bring a plethora of health benefits. That's why I've partnered up with Air Doctor to help you understand that we all deserve to have the best indoor air quality. When you shop www.lindseyelmore.com/airdoctor you can save up to 40% off of your air purification system that can help keep you and your family healthy for years to come. __________________________________________________________ Somavedic is a device that can reliably mitigate unwanted influences of:EMF radiation (4G/5G, WiFi, phones)Geopathic stress, water crossesCurry and Hartmann linesOxidative stress / Free radicalsHead over to www.somavedic.com and use the code: LKE to save 10% off.  ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We hope you enjoyed this episode.
