THE MISSION
Life Distillation Consulting
In America we spend approximately 87% of our lifetime in our homes. My goal is to ensure that your 87% is spent in the healthiest and most enriching home environment possible. One free of dangerous artificial contaminants, chemicals, and other forms of domestic toxicological causation. One that will forever support and sustain your well being, and the well being of your loved ones. One that will give you the keys to achieving and maintaining homeostasis.
The Guardian recently published an article that illustrates the real risk posed by plastics accruing in our bodies. Also, leading research publisher Frontiers released a more scientifically formatted article regarding the dangers 5 heavy metals, commonly found throughout our homes, pose to human health.

Your journey to health begins with a clean slate; always moving forward, never looking back.
GLOSSARY
Causation - [toxicology] The action of causing or producing an effect as a result of ingestion, inhalation, dermal absorption or other exposure routes to a toxic substance.
Bioaccumulation - The accumulation over time of a substance and especially a contaminant (such as a pesticide or heavy metal) in a living organism
Homeostasis - [in medical terms] A dynamic process: The state of balance that the body maintains to function properly and survive.
The detox market has become the new David, battling the evil corporate Goliath…
The problem herein is twofold. One; detox products, even the premium science supported ones, are a reactive measure. They don’t tackle the problem of toxic bioaccumulation at its root . Second, and ironically, many of the Goliath’s that have caused America’s toxic predicament are now serenading your wallet with their quick fix remedies.
In contemporary America, we are supposed have science backed regulation to protect consumers. The stewards of this are the FDA and the EPA. BUT THEY HAVE SOLD YOUR SAFETY FOR PROFIT. We, the public, are reduced to having blind faith in the nonsense companies print promoting their goods, be it food, medicine, baby products, appliances; the list goes on. It’s been impossible to sort fact from fiction without the honest, unbiased support of the scientific and medical communities. Corporate interest coupled with a lack of transparency has strangled this support at every turn.
Harken to the gilded age of convenience, we are peddled convenience from morning until night. Chemical laden dish pods and ‘microwave safe’ plastic trays top my personal list of deplorables. This cultural emphasis on convenience has fostered a robbing Peter to pay Paul dynamic, as it comes at an inestimable cost to our personal health, with cancer rates almost doubling in the last 30 years; especially in children and young adults.
Your health, vitality, cognition, and potential for longevity are directly impacted around the clock by the contents of your home, fridge, medicine cabinet and more; as well as a host of lifestyle factors.
it’s time to take a critical look at where your health intersects with your surrounding environments, your diet, and your product choices. We’ll delve into an all encompassing assessment of how these factors are sickening you, or supporting you.
I will guide you in sourcing and implementing science supported solutions to ensure your home is the health promoting sanctuary you deserve. I will provide you with concrete resolution, as well as ongoing resources; and empower you to think critically and make dynamic and lasting change inside and outside the home.
We humans are sponges, and subject to all of the exposures in our lives, internal and external. Our health reflects this. Any progress you make in your journey for health will always be negated without proactively addressing and eliminating toxicological causation in your day to day life.
Let’s get to work!

About Charles
As an adult I was diagnosed with several chronic autoimmune conditions. On testing, I had no genetic predisposition; and there were no other obvious causes. I had been an active athlete since my teens, and did not eat fast food nor drink soda. I needed to understand my conditions; and what I could do to improve and protect my health as I grew older. I started analyzing every aspect of my life for underlying factors that could have contributed to, and still be compounding my health issues. My own life was at stake, and I was busy working and raising a teenager.
In my subsequent years of research, I learned that every aspect of my home and diet were quite literally saturated with the poisonous residues of mass production. Plastics, metals, pesticides; you name it… I took charge of my future, and methodically applied the science supported knowledge I had acquired to remove these unwanted additions from my life. I changed the products I used, the food I sourced, and the way I lived in, and interacted with my home. Now, almost a decade later, my health is strong, my lab values normalized, and I am by far the fittest I have ever been.
I am grateful to be in Vermont, a place that values and supports a healthy way of living; philosophically one that aligns with my own. Doing this work, creating healthy homes for my clients, ensuring our next generation is free from this toxic burden, is my responsibility and my obligation.
In my free time I am a lifelong runner, all round athlete, cold plunging aficionado, consumer of cheese, and avid birdwatcher (with a focus on Corvids). I am a proud parent and uncle. I enjoy writing satirical fiction, and political discourse with my Australian Shepherd over supper.
