Detox don't retox!We take the air we breathe and the water we drink for granted — yet both can have a profound impact on our overall health. In this episode of Ripple Effect Connection, Kristi Hujik is joined by wellness entrepreneur & SVP at AirDoctor & AquaTru by Ideal Living Helen Christoni for a thoughtful conversation on why air and water deserve just as much attention as food when it comes to reducing toxic load. Helen pioneered the company’s expert social programs, helping bring science-backed air and water purification into millions of homes. Together, they explore lesser-known truths many people have never been taught — including why boiling water doesn’t remove chemical contaminants, how indoor air quality can quietly contribute to dis-ease, and why third-party testing is critical when choosing filtration systems. They also discuss travel, everyday exposure, and how filtering the air you breathe and the water you drink can meaningfully support the body’s ability to function, repair, and detoxify over time.

Kristi Hujik breaks down the fundamentals of metabolic health — what glucose is, how insulin works, and what metabolic dysfunction really means. You’ll learn why so many people experience early symptoms like fatigue, cravings, weight gain, inflammation, PMS, poor sleep, and anxiety long before their lab work shows a problem.

Kristi also shares why she chose blood sugar as the foundation of her first group program and why she partnered with Levels to help people understand their own metabolism through continuous glucose monitoring and real-time data.

What you’ll learn:
• What glucose actually does in the body
• Why insulin is essential for energy
• What metabolic dysfunction is (and why it’s so common)

• How small daily habits create big metabolic shifts
• Why real-time data through Levels can help you understand your own biology
