- Excessive levels of lead, a potent neurotoxin, have been found in almost 2,000 water systems across all 50 states
- 77 million Americans drink water that has violated the Safe Drinking Water Act because of excess contamination?
- 36 million Americans who rely on well water are consuming dangerous levels of arsenic every day?
- Almost 90% of drinking water sampled by the USDA had traces of Atrazine, the most widely used herbicide in the country?
Clean water is a basic right, and yet so many of us are drinking water that contains harmful contaminants like arsenic, chlorine, fluoride, and lead and well as pesticides & pharmaceuticals.
Hundreds of different contaminants have been found in drinking water across the US, yet the EPA only regulates 89 of them. And not very well at that.
Long term, low-level consumption of these contaminants can undermine a healthy body, and lead to or exacerbate chronic health issues. Issues like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, infertility, obesity, digestive problems, autoimmune disorders, and even skin problems.
We must filter our water
According to the American Society Of Civil Engineers, an organization that grades our nation’s roads, bridges and drinking water infrastructure, we need an estimated $1 trillion to upgrade our water systems. For this reason, we filter.
- Activated Carbon?
- Reverse Osmosis?
- Distillation?
- What about Alkaline water?
- Is a pitcher filter okay?
- Do I need a whole house filter?
Some only filter out things like chlorine, but leave behind lead, or fluoride. Some types of filter remove most of the bad stuff, but also some of the healthy minerals we need.
People who sell filters will all say that theirs is “the best” or the “#1”, but not all filters are the same, so how can that be? Surely, they can’t all be the best! Shopping for water filters is confusing & overwhelming, and folks are often left wondering if they got the right one, and hoping that it’s taking out all the harmful contaminants they want to avoid.
But here’s the truth: THERE IS NO PERFECT FILTER.
- If you live in an agricultural area, you’re likely to have higher levels of pesticides, herbicides, and nitrates in your water
- If you live in a more urban area, you’re likely to have higher levels of industrial chemicals, like perchlorate and PFAS Your city may use old lead pipes to transport water to your home
- Even if your city has no lead in the distribution system, you may have lead in the fixtures in your house
- The geography of your local area might add naturally occurring fluoride to the water, or your city might intentionally add it
- Some cities add chlorine to disinfect, while others use chloramine, which is harder to remove
Online databases on water contamination can be confusing, with folks left assuming they’re getting the right filter.
But with more and more people struggling with chronic health issues, most of which can be made worse by exposure to contaminants in our water, getting the right filter is more important than ever!
- Understand exactly why the types of contaminants in our water can vary dramatically
- Learn what the most common contaminants in drinking water are, and what health issues they are associated with, so you can more intentionally filter your water
- Figure out what contaminants are showing up in your water, so you can filter appropriately
- Find the filter technology that the best for the contaminants present in your water
- Help empower you when shopping for a filter, so you can show up informed and asking the right questions
- Know what steps to take to test your water so you are confident in your filter purchase
- Navigate drinking water while traveling so you don’t get sick
- Feel confident that you’re making the best choice, and getting the safest, cleanest water for yourself and your family
I’m not selling you a filter: I’m teaching you how to determine which filter is best for you or the clients you serve.
My educational philosophy is based on the old proverb: “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime.”

Hi, I’m Lara Adler
I’m an Environmental Health Educator and Science Communicator, and I teach health professionals, and individuals with health-based businesses to better understand the role of environmental chemical exposures in causing or contributing to chronic health issues, so they can more comprehensively support the clients/patients they serve.
I train my students to become experts in everyday toxic exposures so they can improve client outcomes without spending hundreds of hours researching on their own.
Since 2012, I’ve worked with nearly 5,000 health professionals in over 35 countries around the world.
And, I’ve organically build a social media following of over 115,000 people all by sharing powerful, engaging, balanced, and evidence-based information on toxic exposures and our health!
“I just finished the course and loved it. You lay out the information in such a clear and accessible way. You are a wonderful teacher. I have learned so much about water and where it comes from and what is put into it to clean it. Tremendously helpful!”
– Chelsea Buhrman, Mom to a medically complex toddler
“Toxins are an underrepresented area when it comes to health and wellness. Most practitioners talk about detoxing the body, but cannot adequately educate on removing environmental toxins from their homes, workplaces, and self-care regime. Lara Adler is blazing a trail into the topic of environmental toxins with her expert knowledge. Her enthusiasm and passion for the subject is apparent from the moment you begin talking with her. Having interviewed and witnessed her teachings, I’m confident that you will feel supported by her dedication as an educator.”
— Summer Bock, Herbalist, Master Fermentationist, and founder of GutRebuilding.com
“Lara’s work is exceptional! I have taken all of her courses, from Tools through to her Certificate course, and would go straight into any other education that she decides to offer in the future without a second thought. It’s pretty challenging to learn some of this stuff, but the way Lara delivers the content makes it really easy to take in. I love going back to the classes again and again Lara, your teachings have enabled me to have the confidence I need in having the toxins conversation with my clients in a way that doesn’t come across as fear-mongering, and they have given me the resources I need to continue researching the subject I feel so passionate about. Your work is some of the most inspiring I have ever come across. Obviously, I am passionate about the subject, but your way of conveying information that can so often feel overwhelming, is reassuring, empowering and generous.”
— Edurne Ubani, Functional Health Coach, FDN-P
“If it was not for you practical approach to what we can do I would feel so hopeless. There is hope and you are one of those individuals who cut through the crap and make the way clear… You are a light to those in a dark place. Thanks for all you continue to do!!”
— Eva Nestor, RDN, Pediatric Nutritionist Dietitian
“As a busy health professional, I don’t have near the time I’d like to deep dive into research on toxins and their affects. So I most appreciate that you do the work for me, and I can pass along this education to my clients, trusting that you’ve taken the time to fully examine and root out the truth.”
— Melanie Miner, HPHA and Founder of Chrysalis Woman
“I am truly grateful for your work, Lara. I knew that it was an important piece of the puzzle that I did not have – for my health and the health of my clients. The issue of environmental toxins is one that all health practitioners need to understand, be able to share, and put into practice in an effective way. It is really not optional in terms of protecting, recovering, and building health. Thank you for being the expert you are with an approach to environmental toxins that works.”
— Connie Sheppard, Holistic Health Coach

Nope! My aim with this course is to educate and empower you to find the best filter for your unique needs. There is no perfect product to recommend, but after going through this course, you’ll know how to find the best filter for your needs!
To help you though, I’ve created a “Water Filter Suggestions” guide which features a number of products that I’ve looked very closely at that I think are great filters to recommend. You can just jump to one of these, or you can use the knowledge you acquire in this course and find one on your own.
You know this famous quote: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” PURE is designed to teach you to fish so you can know how to filter your water for the rest of your life. I want to teach you to see your water differently, and to guide you towards finding the best filter for your unique water situation. You might just need a simple and inexpensive pitcher system, or you might need a pricier and complex system. This course is intended to help you find that answer, so you don’t waste money on filters you don’t need, or that aren’t protecting you.
The PURE course is definitely US centric as I reference the history and current state of water infrastructure here, and our laws regulating contaminants.
However, contaminants are contaminants and they can be the same no matter where you live. All developed nations use similar chemicals to treat their water, and similar chemicals in commerce that are ending up in water – just to varying degrees. Likewise, the various filter technologies are also the same no matter where you live.
The only thing that you’d have to do is either find out of your local water supplier produces annual water quality reports (in the US they are legally required to), or pay to get your water tested. My hunch is that you’ll be able to find information about what contaminants might be present because that’s going to be your most important resource in finding the appropriate filter.
This 3-hour course includes series of video modules (including presentation slides and transcripts) along with charts, checklists, and guides. So long as you have an internet connection and are able to download the materials, and/or watch a video online, you’ll be able to go through all of the content with no problem!
