Finding & Fighting Toxins in Your Everyday Life with guest expert EWG's Ken Cook

Life is busy, and making quick choices often feels like a necessity. But what if those everyday products and convenience foods are silently contributing to your body's toxic burden, impacting everything from your energy levels and skin health to your overall well-being?

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Ken Cook, the president and co-founder of the Environmental Working Group (EWG), to demystify the world of toxic chemicals hiding in plain sight. We dive deep into the invisible threats we face every day—from the ingredients in our personal care products to the "forever chemicals" in our food.

Ken and I will arm you with the knowledge you need to make safer, smarter choices without feeling overwhelmed. This isn't about perfection; it's about empowerment.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to use the EWG's Skin Deep database to vet your personal care products and cosmetics.
• The truth about "forever chemicals" (PFAS) and why they're so concerning.
• Which common food additives—like BHT, Red Dye 40, and Titanium Dioxide—you should avoid.
• The difference between U.S. and European chemical regulations and why it matters for your health.
• How endocrine disruptors and carcinogens show up in your everyday life.
• Actionable steps for advocating for safer consumer products and a healthier environment for all.

… And so much more. This is an essential conversation for anyone who wants to take back control of their health.
