Move With Heart

In this episode, Melissa sits down with Allison Evans, Co-Founder of Branch Basics, to share her incredible journey of creating non-toxic cleaning products while promoting wellness and education.

Allison highlights the versatility of Branch Basics' all-purpose solution, from washing vegetables to cleaning counters, and emphasizes the importance of controlling the products we use daily in our homes. From choosing organic foods to selecting “fragrance-free” over “unscented” products, she shares her top tips, including ditching exterminators and switching to clean laundry detergents, noting that pesticides are a major contributor to health issues like childhood cancer.
