Filmmaker Soozie Eastman has just learned that hundreds of synthetic toxins are now found in every baby born in America, and neither the chemical companies who manufacture and market them nor a confusing patchwork of U.S. government agencies seem able or willing to protect citizens and consumers from the more than 84,000 chemicals currently in use in the foods and products we purchase daily.

With plans to start a family, Soozie — the daughter of an industrial chemical distributor — embarks on a journey to accurately measure the levels of toxins in her body and discover what, if anything, she or anyone else can do about it. After extensive blood testing reveals alarming levels of chemicals such as organophosphates and PBDEs, Soozie undertakes a rigorous detox regimen of dietary changes and informed product choices designed to manage and minimize her toxic body burden.

Along the way, Soozie receives guidance from world-renowned physicians and environmental leaders such as Center for Environmental Health founder Michael Green and the Environmental Working Group’s Nneka Leiba, and sits down for interviews with scientists and politicians including NRDC senior scientist Jennifer Sass and biologist Tyrone Hayes.
