Episode Details

Many parents are paying closer attention to what goes into their food, but what about the products they use on their skin, in their homes, and around their children every day?

In this episode, I am talking to low tox living educator and author Krissy Ballinger about reducing everyday chemical exposure, simplifying home and personal care products, and making practical low tox changes without striving for perfection. We also discuss simple DIY alternatives, how to approach low tox living without overwhelm, and the importance of focusing on the foundations of health.

Krissy and I talk about:

• How to approach reducing chemical exposure without aiming for perfection
• Why starting with one simple swap can make low tox living more manageable
• Why fragrance is one of the first things to reduce
• Practical ways to improve indoor air quality at home
• Simple DIY products that can replace multiple household items
• How to simplify beauty and cleaning routines using fewer products
• Easy homemade cleaning solutions using ingredients like vinegar and castile soap
• The importance of reading labels and questioning product marketing claims
• Teaching children healthy habits through everyday actions and routines
