    92: PFAS in Period Undies & Pesticides in Tampons

    It always sucks when something you think is THE solution turns out to be not what you thought. But I think it's important to learn from it, and move on.  This week’s episode began when a Green Product Forum member - Dana wanted to know about studies that have found PFAS in period underwear.


    I chat about period undies, pads and tampons and cover the following:


    RegulationsToxic shock syndromeDioxins, fragrance, glyphosate & other pesticidesSafer alternatives

    Whether you have pests already or not, prevention should be the first line of defense.
    Pests are typically entering for one of 2 or 3 reasons: food, shelter, and in some cases, water. With that in mind, today’s podcast covers some things you can do to help prevent an infestation in the first place.  And, if you already have a pest problem, we cover some strategies to try to get them out of your home.

    89: How I Cloth Diapered Both My Kids

    89: How I Cloth Diapered Both My Kids

    I decided early on that I would cloth diaper my kids. Environmentally it just made sense to me. There is more information about cloth diapering on the internet than you could possibly consume. Which can make it feel incredibly daunting! So before you go Googling and thinking there’s some magic bullet 100% right way to cloth diaper, know that there isn’t. And, like so many things in life, at some point you just have to get started.
    In this episode I share how you can decide if cloth diapering is for you, what you should know before getting started, and how you can cloth diaper long-term successfully.  Some of the things I cover:
    The lowest cost are typically Prefolds. Fitted DiapersAll-in-Ones Once you have the cloth diapers, how do you use them?Cloth Diaper Trouble-ShootingDiaper rashBut remember: if they’re leading to information overwhelm and therefore inaction on choosing a cloth diaper strategy, take a step back. The simpler the better.

Fabulous health resource for timely, evidence-based research with insightful guest experts

I first stumbled across Emma’s wonderful resources at her website, GreenAtHome.ca where she provides thorough, science-based materials to help navigate the overwhelming task of keeping your family safe, healthy and happy. She shares a wealth of knowledge and this podcast is the recent addition to her repertoire. I thoroughly enjoy listening to it every week as she covers interesting topics across a variety of subject matters (body product toxicity, women’s health, vaccines, amazon purchases safety) where she helps broach topics that need to be discussed more openly in a science-based manner. I think what differentiates her is that she thinks holistically and practically (considering lifestyle, budget, etc), helping you prioritize what are the most important steps to reduce toxins in your life, in a very digestible, clear format, while cutting through the infinite amount of data overload and misinformation. Thanks, Emma!
