What Happens When You Ditch the Toxins? This Couple’s Healing Story Will Inspire You

What if the toxins in your food, home, or even emotions were silently making you sick?

In this episode of The Green Living Now Podcast, host Amy Todisco Hartshorn sits down with Katy and Mark Simanski to share their incredible transformation—from unexplained health struggles to thriving through clean living.

Katy was just in her mid-20s when mysterious symptoms disrupted her life. Doctors couldn’t provide answers, but she and Mark eventually discovered how deeply our food, environment, and mindset impact our health.

In this episode, they share:

How juicing, clean eating, and home detox changed everything
The emotional side of healing most people ignore
Tips for mold testing and reducing indoor toxins
How they created Sensitive Rentals, a free directory for safer, non-toxic short- and long-term rental spaces

This is an eye-opening conversation full of practical advice and hopeful reminders that healing is possible—especially when you take control of your environment.
