187: Let’s Talk Toxic Food with Marci Kenon


Listen Later

In this eye-opening episode, I sat down with the incredible Marci Kenon—Certified Wellness Coach and founder of Preventative Lifestyle Assistance Network Plan—for a conversation that honestly blew my mind.

We covered toxic food, mold exposure, weight loss drugs, and the shocking number of chemicals hiding in plain sight in our homes and food supply. Marci doesn’t just coach people—she educates, and after this talk, you’re going to see your body, your plate, and your environment in a whole new way.

Here’s what we got into:

  • How certain drugs might be tricking your brain into thinking you don’t have a stomach (yes, really)

  • Why counting chemicals is more important than counting calories

  • The silent damage from ultra-processed foods and how your cravings are being manipulated for profit

  • Real talk on mold toxicity (I’m talking brain fog, asthma, even misdiagnosed dementia) and what it’s like living with it

  • The NEW START wellness method and how to detox your life—mentally, physically, emotionally

Marci also opens up about caring for her 82-year-old mom, navigating toxic exposure in NYC housing, and how she’s turning that pain into purpose by empowering others to reclaim their health.

This episode isn’t about fear—it’s about awareness and action. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the health advice out there, or unsure where to begin, this conversation will meet you where you are. You don’t need perfection—you just need to start.

 

Listen if you’re ready to:

  • Take back control of your health (and your kids’ health)

  • Understand what’s really in your food and home

  • Break free from wellness confusion and chemical overload

Let’s stop letting profits dictate our plates. Hit play and let’s get into it!
