Did you know that:

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.

CONTAMINATED DRINKING WATER IS A SERIOUS ISSUE

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.

But which kind of filter?

Activated Carbon?
Reverse Osmosis?
Distillation?
What about Alkaline water?
Is a pitcher filter okay?
Do I need a whole house filter?

Figuring out which filter is right can be very confusing! And marketing around water filters can often be misleading and overwhelming. Being informed can help you find the right filter for your water, and your unique situation.

NOT ALL FILTERS ARE THE SAME

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.

What most people don’t realize is that everyone has a different profile of contaminants in their water:

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

To Get Clean water, you must match the filter to the contaminants in YOUR water

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!

That’s why I created:

Module 1: Water & Our Biology

In this introduction module, you’ll learn just why water is critical for our survival and for optimal health. You’ll learn how water is key in helping us to detoxify from the toxins we’re exposed to.

Module 2: Understanding Water Contamination

In this module we’ll uncover the reasons why our water is contaminated in the first place, along with getting a clear picture of how our drinking water is (or isn’t) regulated. You’ll learn:

How many contaminants the EPA currently regulates
Why zero new contaminants have been regulated in nearly 20 years
How many chemicals industries are dumping into our waterways
The state of our water infrastructure (hint: it’s crumbling)
How common violations of the Safe Drinking Water Standards are
The variables that can determine the relative contamination of your water compared to someone else’s

Module 3: Biological Contaminants & Their Effects

You’ll learn which are the most common types of biological contaminants that we still have to deal with, how they entered the water systems, how they can make us sick, and what’s the best way to filter them. We’ll also talk about the new trend of drinking “raw” water.

Module 4: Chemical Contaminants & Their Effects

In this module, we’ll explore 9 of the top chemical contaminants in our water, how they got there, how they can affect us, and what types of filters will remove them. Having this information will help you to better navigate your water quality report, and any testing you choose to have done.

Module 5: Heavy Metals in our Water

Heavy metals in our drinking water is big news. In this module, we’ll take a look at lead contamination, as well as other metals like arsenic, chromium, and mercury, and how to best filter them out.

Module 6: Radioactive Isotopes In Tap Water

Radioactive isotopes in our water is becoming an increasing problem, partly due to hydraulic fracturing for gas extraction. In this module, we’ll look at where radioactives are showing up in our water, and how to make sure we’re filtering them out.

Module 7: Exploring Your Water Quality Report

In order to purchase the best filter for your unique water profile, you’ll need to understand how to read and interpret your local water quality report. In this module we’ll walk through a sample report so you can follow along with your own.

Module 8: Fitting your Filter to Your Water

Not all filter media is the same, and not all filters take out all contaminants. In this module you’ll learn about each of the primary types of water filtration, including various types of activated carbon, KDF media, distillation systems, UV , and reverse osmosis. We’ll also explore the various certifications to look for when buying a filter to ensure it’s doing the job you need.

Module 9: Is Bottled Water Better?

In this final module, we’ll explore when bottled water is and isn’t a good choice, along with how to avoid estrogen-mimicking chemicals, and what do when traveling.

Module 10: Microplastics

Microplastics – tiny, microscopic pieces of plastic are increasingly found in both tap and bottled water. These microplastics act like magnets for other chemical contaminants in water and can themselves pose a threat to our health. In this module, you’ll learn what to look for in order to filter these bad boys out!

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hi, I'm Lara Adler, and I teach health coaches, nutritionists, and other holistic health practitioners how to eliminate the #1 thing holding their clients back from the results they are seeking - the unaddressed link between chemicals and chronic health problems.

I train practitioners to become experts in everyday toxic exposures so they can improve client outcomes without spending hundreds of hours researching on their own (because you’ve got a practice to run!).

I merge the most current research in environmental health with practical, no-nonsense approaches so you can implement powerful new tools to reduce toxic exposures for your clients.

Combining environmental health education and business consulting, I’ve helped thousands of students in over 25 countries around the world elevate their skillset, get better results for their clients, and become sought out leaders in the growing environmental health & detoxification field.

Hear what some of my students have to say:

"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

GOT QUESTIONS? CHECK THE FAQ:

Who is this course for?

Do you drink water? This course is for YOU! While I wish that everyone’s water was clean, contaminant free and worry free, that’s sadly not the case. Even in the United States, our water is riddled with issues and to some degree everyone’s water is likely not as ideal as it could be. Government isn’t doing a great job at regulating contaminants that pollute our water, or regulating the industries that do the polluting, and the end result is that we all have actually harmful and potentially harmful chemicals in the water we drink every day. If you have children, are pregnant, or dealing with a chronic health issues it’s *essential* that you have clean, contaminant free water. This course will help you to understand the issues that are local for you, and what steps to take to get the most appropriate filter for your budget.

Are you selling, recommending, or reviewing filters?

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.

I live outside the US... will this course be relevant to me?

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.

What is the format of this course?

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!
