What if your daily cup of coffee — the one you rely on to get through the day — is actually working against your body?

In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we sit down with the founders of Macor Coffee, a mission-driven brand redefining what “clean coffee” really means. After struggling to find coffee that wasn’t loaded with mold, pesticides, glyphosate, heavy metals, and hidden toxins, they decided to create their own.

Macor Coffee is third-party tested and intentionally sourced to be mold-free, glyphosate-free, pesticide-free, heavy metal tested, and gluten-free — raising the standard for what we should actually expect from something we consume every single day.

We dive into the truth about what’s really in most coffee on the market, the hidden toxins no one is talking about, and how your daily cup can either fuel inflammation or support your body. We also break down what “third-party tested” really means, why sourcing matters more than branding, and how this company was built from a holistic, chiropractic-rooted lifestyle.

In this episode, we cover the truth about mold in coffee, glyphosate and pesticide exposure, why testing matters, how Macor Coffee is changing the industry, and what to actually look for when choosing a clean coffee brand.

If you’re on a healing journey, dealing with sensitivities, or just trying to make better choices for yourself and your family, this is one of the easiest swaps you can make.

We’ve been taught to focus on what goes in our bodies…
but what about what sits on our skin all day? 

In this episode, we sit down with the founders of Savante to uncover the truth about conventional clothing—and why it may be one of the most overlooked sources of toxin exposure, especially for kids. 

From pesticide-heavy cotton to chemical dyes and synthetic fabrics, we break down what’s really in the clothes your children wear 24/7… and why it matters more than most people realize. 

If you're already prioritizing organic food, this is the next step in reducing your family’s toxic load.  

🧠 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN 

•  Why conventional cotton is one of the most chemically treated crops 
•  How clothing interacts with your skin (your largest organ) 
•  The connection between fabrics and skin sensitivities or irritation 
•  What “organic clothing” actually means (and what to look for) 
•  Why this is especially important for babies and kids 
•  Simple swaps you can make starting today 

 👩‍👧‍👦 WHY THIS MATTERS FOR MOMS
 
Your kids are wearing these fabrics all day…
 Sleeping in them. Sweating in them. Living in them.
 
And most of us have never been taught to question it.
 
This episode will open your eyes to something small that can make a big impact.

There’s a reason more and more moms are starting to question what’s really in our food… and this episode dives straight into one of the biggest conversations happening right now.

We sat down with Zen Honeycutt, founder of Moms Across America, to break down the truth about glyphosate — where it’s showing up, how it became so widely used, and what recent decisions at the highest levels mean for our families.

We also dive into the conversation around Trump signing an executive order involving glyphosate — and ask the question a lot of moms are thinking…

👉 Why make this an executive order in the first place?

In this episode, we unpack:

• What glyphosate actually is (and why it’s everywhere)
• The glyphosate executive order and what it could mean
• Why this decision sparked strong reactions from so many moms
• What Zen Honeycutt and Moms Across America have been fighting for
• What we believe is really going on — and why more families are starting to question it
• How you can start making more informed choices for your home

This conversation is honest, eye-opening, and rooted in one goal — helping families feel more empowered about what they’re putting on their tables.

If you’ve ever stood in the grocery store wondering, “how is this even allowed?”… this episode is for you.

THIS IS A TWO PART SERIES. If you have not listened to part 1 make sure you stop and go check it out.

 The Medicine They Don’t Want You to Know About: Homeopathy, Frequencies & the Future of Healing

What if the body didn’t need stronger drugs…
 but the right frequency to heal?

In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we sit down with the brilliant founder of RMDY Remedy Collective, a company bringing homeopathic medicine back into modern healing conversations.

Not only is she deeply knowledgeable in the science and philosophy of homeopathy, she’s actively working to bring homeopathic hospitals into Australia and the United States — something most people don’t even realize is happening.

We dive deep into:

• The true history of homeopathy and why it has been practiced for over 200 years
• How frequency-based healing actually works in the body
• Why so many families are turning to homeopathy for everyday health concerns
• The emotional story that sparked her mission after watching her sister struggle with illness
• What the future of integrative and energetic medicine could look like

If you’ve ever wondered why homeopathy works for so many people — or why it’s often misunderstood — this conversation will open your mind.

Whether you’re brand new to natural healing or already deep in the crunchy mom world, this episode is packed with insight into one of the most fascinating healing systems in the world.

In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we sit down with a courageous mom who shares her deeply personal story of what happened after her child received routine vaccinations.

She makes it clear: vaccines were never officially proven to be the cause of her child’s health changes. But the timing? The sudden onset? The regression? It left her asking questions no parent is ever prepared to ask.

We talk about:
 • The timeline of symptoms
 • What doctors said — and didn’t say
 • The emotional toll of feeling dismissed
 • Heavy metal concerns and detox protocols
 • What she wishes she had known beforehand
 • How she’s supporting her child’s healing today

This episode is not about fear — it’s about a mother’s lived experience. It’s about intuition. It’s about asking hard questions. And it’s about walking through uncertainty while fighting for your child.

As always, we encourage you to research, read inserts for yourself, and have informed conversations with providers you trust. Our mission is transparency, not censorship.

If you’ve ever felt like something didn’t add up… this one’s for you.

What happens when a mother refuses to accept surface-level answers for her child’s health?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jen — a physician and integrative medicine practitioner who went back to school after her son began struggling with PAN/PANDAS. That journey didn’t just change her family’s life… it changed her entire career path.

Today, Jen is the founder of Root Cause Integrative Wellness, a clinic built on one simple but powerful belief:
👉 healing doesn’t start with symptoms — it starts with root causes.

We talk about:

• What PAN/PANDAS taught her about the gaps in conventional medicine
• Why integrative & holistic care must be accessible to everyday families
• How Cleveland was missing true full-immersion healing education — and why she decided to change that
• The importance of community, connection, and supporting local holistic businesses
• What real, sustainable healing looks like when you address the whole body

Jen also shares the heart behind creating a first-of-its-kind integrative wellness market in Cleveland & Full submersion Holistic Healing live event! Bringing together local businesses, practitioners, and resources so families can learn how to support their health daily, not just during a crisis.

✨ We’re attending this event ourselves and are SO excited to support and share it with you.

📍 All event details, links, and ticket information are included in the show notes below.
If you’re local — or willing to travel — this is one you do not want to miss.

This episode is for:
 • moms navigating mysterious health issues
 • families questioning the “wait and see” approach
 • anyone curious about integrative, root-cause healing
 • people craving real-life holistic community

🎧 Tune in now and come meet the movement Cleveland has been waiting for.

What happens when someone trained inside Western medicine starts asking uncomfortable questions?

In this episode, we sit down with Kathy Collins, a physician assistant who proudly calls herself conventionally crunchy. With years of experience working in the medical system, Kathy shares what most people never hear about medical training, vaccines, and how little education providers actually receive on functional medicine, genetics, and long-term outcomes.

We dive into:

• The pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine and why informed consent matters
• MTHFR gene mutations and why they’re rarely discussed in conventional care
• The childhood vaccine schedule and the growing concerns many parents are having
• What providers are and aren’t taught about vaccines in medical training
• Why functional medicine is often dismissed, despite patient outcomes
• Kathy’s personal journey into becoming a “crunchy mom” while still working in Western medicine

We also touch on the broader conversations happening right now around medical transparency, parental choice, and the topics being publicly discussed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that many families are questioning for the first time.

This is an honest, respectful, eye-opening conversation for:
 ✔️ Parents who want to be informed
 ✔️ Anyone questioning the “one-size-fits-all” approach to healthcare
 ✔️ Medical professionals who feel stuck inside a broken system
 ✔️ Crunchy moms, curious moms, and conventionally trained providers alike

Whether you’re️’re fully crunchy, just starting to question things, or still somewhere in between, this episode creates space for nuance, curiosity, and truth.

🎙️ No fear. No shame. Just informed conversation.

Okay… let’s talk about this documentary.

In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we’re airing the full USA Today documentary that a LOT of parents have been waiting to see—and yes, we have thoughts.

We kick things off with our own commentary before the documentary starts, because while this project was a huge moment and an important step forward, it wasn’t perfect—and we want to be honest about that. There were parts we loved, parts we questioned, and a few discrepancies we didn’t totally agree with. And instead of pretending otherwise, we talk about it.

Then we let the documentary play in full, uninterrupted, so you can watch it with your own eyes and form your own opinion. Afterward, we come back with real, unfiltered reflections—what felt validating, what felt off, and why overall we still believe this was a meaningful experience and an important project to be part of.

Do we think crunchy moms were represented better than ever before on a mainstream platform? Yes.
 Do we think there’s still room for deeper truth and better conversations? Also yes.

And that’s exactly why you’ll want to listen.

🎧 Available on all podcast platforms
 📺 Full video episode on YouTube & Rumble

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Our honest pre-documentary commentary (no blind praise here)
• The full USA Today documentary played start to finish
• Where we felt seen as crunchy moms—and where we didn’t
• The discrepancies we noticed and why they matter
• Why this still felt like a win for parents asking questions

Why we decided to air this anyway:
Because progress doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from conversations finally being allowed to happen. And this documentary cracked a door that’s been shut for a long time.

We don’t expect you to agree with everything.
 We do expect you to walk away thinking.

Every January, we hear it everywhere: “New Year, New Me.”
And by mid-January… most people have already quit.

Today is Quitter’s Day — the day research shows the majority of people abandon their New Year’s goals — and in this episode, we’re calling out why that happens and what actually works instead.

We’re not here to reinvent ourselves every year.
 We’re here to grow, evolve, and stay disciplined without burning out.

In this episode of Crunchy Moms Unfiltered, we talk honestly about:

• Why the “New Year, New Me” mindset sets people up to fail
• What Quitter’s Day reveals about motivation vs. discipline
• How consistency beats motivation every single time
• Why growth doesn’t require becoming a different person
• The systems, habits, and mindset shifts we personally use to stay on track
• How faith, environment, and accountability play a role in real transformation
• What “New Year, Same Us — Just Better” actually looks like in real life

This episode is for the mom who:

• Is tired of starting over every January
• Feels discouraged by failed goals
• Wants sustainable growth, not hustle culture
• Is ready to stop quitting on herself

No hype.
 No pressure.
 Just real, grounded growth that actually lasts.

🎧 Press play and let this be the year you stop starting over.
