THD - The Holistic Detectives

The “Wayne’s World” of Holistic Living.

We want to educate and entertain you! We want to show you all the wonderful options out there, to help you take baby-steps towards a more Holistic Life. This includes, foods we love (and hate) products we love that are more Eco Friendly and realistically attainable for everyone.

We consider ourselves “the masses”. We aren’t rich, in fancy kitchens drinking kale smoothies all day but we still strive to live a holistic life within the same reality that most people have.
