  • Could you be unknowingly exposing your family to lead? Most of the time, people don't start testing for lead until after the exposure, and maybe even poisoning, has already occurred. Today's guest, Eric Ritter, noticed this issue and made it his mission to make testing a more preventative measure.

    Eric Ritter, also known as @EricEverythingLead on Instagram, is a great resource if you're feeling any anxiety about lead exposure! First, he developed an affordable swab test. But once he realized how the tests were being used in a reactionary way, he created a product that encourages preventative use. The Fluoro-Spec Test, a glowing lead detection kit that is transforming how we identify lead contamination in our homes.

    In this episode, we delve into the science behind lead testing kits, address the issue of false positives with traditional lead tests, and underscore the importance of precision in public health. From the dishes in your china cabinet to the water you're drinking every day, lead exposure is a risk. But let's not get too obsessive about it! It's also not healthy or possible to try to avoid lead exposure all together.

    Lead contamination is not just an issue of the past; it continues to affect many households, especially older ones. Eric and I discuss the exacerbating factors like water quality issues, drawing parallels to infamous cases such as Flint, Michigan. We offer practical advice on mitigating lead exposure, the historical context of lead poisoning, and the psychological impact on parents.

    Learn about the importance of monitoring water quality, testing household items, and staying vigilant against environmental toxins to ensure your family's safety. Join us for this enlightening conversation that promises to equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to combat lead contamination effectively.

  • You know that chemical smell that a new mattress expells right out of the packaging? Their is a prevailing belief that the chemicals you’re smelling just need time to off-gas. Today, I’m busting that myth!

    And don’t worry if you believe this, I used to believe it too! But what you’re smelling are VOCs A.K.A - Volatile organic compounds. We’ll be diving into studies that have been done on off-gassing. Turns out, these chemicals stay in your mattress. It doesn’t matter how much time you give them to “off-gas.”

    So what’s the solution? How can we make sure that we’re not up close and personal with harmful chemicals every night? Personally, I buy VOC free mattresses. Currently, there are only two certifications that can guarantee your mattress doesn’t contain VOCs.

    I’m going into the specifics of each certification and some of my favorite mattress brands to look out for. So, next time you’re in the market for a new mattress, make sure to tune into this episode!

    In this episode, we’re chatting about:

    The myth of off-gassingWhat are VOCs and why should they be avoided?How you can find VOC free mattresses

  • I don't know about you, but hot tea is a non-negotiable, daily ritual for me. Herbal tea has so many natural benefits. Unfortunately, if you're using disposable tea bags, this habit could be doing you more harm than good.

    And look, I've been there. I tried to stick to "plastic-free" tea bags for a long time. The prevailing idea that loose leaf tea was a hassle held me back from ditching them all together. But after a bit of research, I will never go back to using tea bags and I'll tell you why in this episode!

    It doesn't matter whether your tea bags are created from nylon, hemp, plastic or paper - there are toxins leaking into your cup of tea. And no, it's not just coming from contaminated water. A single tea bag can release 11.6 BILLION microplastics and 3.1 billion nanoplastics into your cup of tea. And if you're microwaving the tea once it get's cold? Those microplastics increase.

    That's why I've made the switch the loose leaf tea! I actually love the ritual of it and don't find it to be inconvenient at all. If you're having a hard time with the switch, stick around until the end where I'm giving you all of my personal favorite tea products!

  • Can red light therapy actually improve your eyesight? Every time I post about my red light mask, I get tons of comments telling me to close my eyes. And I totally understand! It’s unexpected to see someone with their eyes open during the treatment. But stick with me…

    I actually learned about red light therapy for improved eyesight when my naturopath told me she needed a new prescription. I assumed her eyesight was getting worse! Because trust me, I know what it’s like to see that 20 20 vision suddenly turn into blurry ingredient lists. But she surprised me by saying it had improved! And of course, that sent me down a whole research rabbit hole.

    So whether you’ve always struggled with poor eyesight or you’re like me and your eyesight has worsened over time, the research in today’s episode may interest you! Tune into episode 36 for the full rundown on how red light therapy can improve your thyroid function. But today, it’s all about our eye sight!

    Studies actually go back to 2000 showing the benefits of red light therapy for things like glaucoma, retinopathy, and even lazy eye.

  • What happens when you take a dream of homesteading and turn it into a farm that feeds a whole community (and makes their skin shine)? You get Willow Moon Farm! Today we're in for a treat because my friend Sarah, founder of Willow Moon Farm, is joining us for her first ever podcast feature!

    I was so excited to chat with Sarah because I personally love her skincare products. Trust me, we could have spent an entire episode chatting just about the tallow! Sarah set off on her own health journey after facing a personal loss that she didn't want to see her own child go through. Like many of us, pregnancy awakened a new sense of responsibility to find the best ingredients possible.


    Her products showcase the philosophy that what we put on our bodies should be as natural as what we put in them. Sarah’s breaking down her farm-made remedies and bringing us behind the scenes. Balancing a slow production ethos with customer demand isn't easy, but Sarah's pre-order strategy and meticulous attention to detail guarantee that her top-tier tallow offerings are worth the wait.

    Sarah's family business also provides my family with some of the best meat ever (shoutout to the Kune Kune Pigs!). Every aspect of Sarah's lifestyle is infused with a commitment to regeneration—of the land, the animals, and the products they produce. It's not just about skincare; it's about a connection to the earth and creating a legacy of health and sustainability for future generations.

  • Want to become a label reading pro? Join Toxin Free in 3

    How clean are “Clean at Sephora” products? A curious, savvy listener submitted this question and I thought it was great! Sephora is vocal about the long list of products they don’t allow in this line. But today, we’re diving into the question of whether or not their are any concerning ingredients that they do allow.

    This episode isn’t simply going to take you through each every ingredient on the product list. You’re actually going to walk away with a three step hack that you can use when looking at Sephora’s product labels.

    Right out of the gate, I will say that I personally do not buy Clean at Sephora products. I have a list of 25 ingredients on my avoid list and clean at Sephora products allow 7 of them. If you’d like to learn more about how to read labels, what ingredients to avoid, and why - head over to Toxin Free in 3. But today, we’re actually not going to be doing a deep dive into these ingredients.

    3 things to look for to determine whether or not something is clean:

    Does it contain a synthetic dye?Does it contain an undisclosed fragrance?Does it contain phenoxyethanol?

It's truly empowering to know, that with a few simple lifestyle changes, we can dramatically reduce our risk of breast cancer.

  • Imagine loving the world of fragrance so much, landing your dream job in the industry, only to find it was keeping you sick. For Sada and Amanda, that's exactly what happened.

    Luckily, they didn't have to leave their passions in the dust. The fragrance industry has often been shrouded in mystery. But today, we have a unique opportunity to take a peak behind the curtain. We're dissecting the ambiguous claims of "safe synthetics," and questioning the effectiveness of self-regulatory bodies like IFRA.

    ESAS Beauty's products don't just smell divine, they also last. And in the world of fragrance, where we're always told synthetics are absolutely necessary for long lasting scents, that is huge. I'm so excited to take you behind the scenes so chat with Seda and Amanda about the revolutionary changes they're bringing to the business of fragrance!

  • Ingredient apps seem like a miracle no-brainer in today's world where toxins are hiding nearly everywhere. You're telling me I can simply pull up an app, search what I want and immediately get a 'yes' or 'no'? Clean? Not clean? Sign me up! Or...not.

    Here's the thing - I love what these apps stand for and the direction they're taking consumers. But, unfortunately it's not so cut and dry and these apps aren’t as accurate as you think.

    I’m giving 5 reasons (using examples) to use these apps with caution. At the end of the day, I want all of you to feel empowered enough to make your own judgements about the products in your house.

    Relying on an app to give you the green light means you are relying on whether the creators of the app think something is safe or not.

    That's exactly why 'Toxin Free in 3', exists! Together, we'll go through the 25 ingredients to avoid and why, all while crafting a personalized standard of 'clean'.

  • If you don't have a Stanley cup, you've definitely seen them online. They're all the rage for everyone from pre-teens to housewives. But the brand recently came under fire in a heated debate over lead exposure. Not only has Stanley been caught in a social media outrage, it's also attracted a class action lawsuit out of California.

    I recently made a reel addressing my thoughts on the subject and quickly took it down because the response was so contentious. Look, lead poisoning is no joke. But in my opinion, the outrage is misplaced. I'm laying out the facts of the case against Stanley cups and why I'm keeping my Stanley cup.

    While I understand people's concern, I really urge people to do their own research and come to their own conclusions when they see online outrage. I'm breaking down the case and why this blew up online. But more importantly, we're going to explore the biggest factors that increase your risk of lead exposure. And I promise you, it has more to do with the water itself than the container you put the water in.

    We're celebrating the strides made since the 70s, when lead exposure ran rampant. But it's still an ongoing battle, so let's arm ourselves with the tools needed to avoid this persistent toxin. I'll share why no amount of lead is considered safe, the cognitive consequences of exposure and with practical tips on water filtration and high risk foods, you'll know how to limit your lead exposure.

  • Today is National Breast Implant Illness Awareness Day. If you don't personally have breast implants, you definitely know someone that does and unfortunately, stories of women being properly informed of the risks before surgery are few and far between.

    I'm welcoming two remarkable women, Robin and Amanda, who generously share their own stories of facing breast implant illness. Robin—a determined patient advocate and breast cancer survivor—dives into her complex battle with breast implant illness and her triumph in shaping Arizona's legislation for informed consent.

    Amanda, known as The Holistic Beauty Coach, recounts her own health struggles and the rejuvenation she experienced post-explant surgery. They're candid in illuminating the mostly ignored symptoms associated with breast implants. This is a conversation about transparency and patient autonomy in medical decisions. Unfortunately, the truth about Breast Implant Illness has been deliberately concealed for years.

    Breast implants introduce all sorts of chemicals into the body, from heavy metals to siloxanes to acetone - it's basically a bag of chemicals that leak into the body. But financial conflicts of interest skew narratives in the medical community. So while the FDA may be slow to respond, the information is out there. We just have to get it into the right hands so that informed consent is possible.

    For those contemplating the path to explant surgery, today's guests provide actionable insights and compassionate guidance. My hope is that this episode brings to light to the issue so that less women are suffering in the dark, going from specialist to specialist with symptoms they can't explain.

  • Moms are demanding better and companies are starting to listen! I'm honestly pretty happy with a lot of the changes I'm seeing in the world of diapers and baby wipes. Despite the progress, the truth is that no disposable wipe is ever going to be entirely chemical-free. The cleanest option is a non-disposable solution but I know that's not always feasible for parents on the go. So I'm breaking down a concerning trend I'm seeing and how to find baby wipes that you can feel confident will keep your baby safe.

    There is a concerning trend I'm noticing when it comes to clean brands introducing preservatives that we don't know a whole lot about.

    It's important to make evidence-based decisions for the well-being of our families and that starts here! Thank you for trusting me on this journey to a cleaner, safer home for our little ones.

  • This may be my most controversial take to date on this podcast. But parents - this one if for you. If you're doing everything in your power to lower your baby's exposure to toxins, I need you to tune in to this episode.

    Too much of the information I'm seeing online regarding diapers is nothing short of fear mongering. And frankly, I'm over it. Today, I'm here to dispel myths and offer clarity on the safety of chlorine-free diapers.

    Together, we're navigating the misconceptions of total chlorine-free (TCF) and elemental chlorine-free (ECF) options and shedding light on the real risks of dioxin exposure. With a focus on the changes in the diaper industry since the 1990s, I'll reveal why a vigilant eye on meat, dairy, and water quality might be far more critical for your family's health.

    And I'm not stopping at health risk. As an environmental lawyer, I'm always going to take the environmental footprint into account as well. We'll chat about why some companies are reverting to ECF and why this might not be as controversial as once thought, thanks to recent studies.

    At the end of the day, you need diapers that WORK, don't break the bank and don't keep you up at night worrying. As parents, you have enough to worry about. So it's time to cut through the noise. I'll arm you with strategies for choosing safer diapers with my “Toxin Free Shopping Guide,” and share practical tips for reducing chemical exposure at home. So tune in, as we embrace the facts, release the fear, and take confident steps towards a less toxic lifestyle for your precious little ones.
