Real or fake? The million-dollar question, right (um, we’re talking about grass, people…grass!)?
Synthetic grass may look uniform and appear to be maintenance-free, but environmental and health concerns are prompting many people to rip out their artificial lawns.
You’ve heard of microplastics showing up at alarming rates in our drinking water, our food, and more. But you’ve probably never considered that that picture-perfect green artificial grass that you and your family love to play on could be hazardous to your health! Turns out, artificial grass can release microplastics and forever chemicals known as PFAS, so it’s no surprise that many people now think of their artificial lawns as hazmat sites, and they are ripping them out.

If not, you’re about to. Beyond gum issues, there’s much more to oral health than meets the tooth! There’s even a correlation between root canals and depression that we cover in this episode.
Biological -also known as holistic or natural- dentistry is based on the principle that oral health is intrinsically linked to our overall physical health and wellness. Biological dentistry is a revolutionary approach that integrates the entire body's health with dental care, extending beyond just the teeth and gums.

Biological dentists often employ methods like ceramic dental implants and mercury removal techniques.

Beyond being useful and beautiful, a home must be a healing sanctuary—a place where we can rest and recover from daily exposure to toxins.
Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, so it’s crucial to prioritize the health of our homes. From the water we drink and the air we breathe to the furniture we sit on, the bedding we sleep on, and the paint on our walls, everything we eat, wear, touch, and use to furnish our homes affects our health daily.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And, guess what friends? It’s wildfire season. Think you don’t live in an area that’s affected? Think again. Smoke can travel for miles beyond its source. In 2020, smoke from wildfires in the Western United States drifted for almost 5,000 miles, eventually being detected as far away as Europe. That’s important when considering that the primary cause of death from wildfires is smoke inhalation; according to the National Fire Protection Association, 50 to 80 percent of fire deaths are from smoke inhalation.

Do you or have you suffered from allergies, chronic sinus issues, dry nose with chronic crusting (yup, we’re going there), or use a CPAP machine? If so, you are in the right place. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into your nose, no really!
The health of our nose is often overlooked as an important aspect of our overall health. When we breathe through the nose, germs, allergens, toxins, smoke, dust, and particles can get trapped in the skin and hair inside our nostrils. Think about it, the nose is a direct link between the outside air and our respiratory system. Contaminants in the air can cause inflammation and lead to an allergic response, sinus issues, and other upper respiratory problems. Our nose functions like an air filter for the body and it's important to keep air filters clean. Someone who is here to shed light is our guest, Dr. Lebovic.
Dr. Gail Lebovic is an internationally recognized oncoplastic surgeon, a patient advocate, an inventor, and a serial entrepreneur. Currently, Dr. Lebovic serves as the Founder and CEO of Silicon Valley Innovations, Inc. The company is focused on bringing novel drug delivery platforms to the multi-billion-dollar nasal healthcare and feminine healthcare markets. She is also the Founder of the Society of Oncoplastic Surgery.

Spring has officially sprung and for most of us, that means (you guessed it!) spring cleaning! If you have a pile of laundry waiting for you to scrub, suds, fluff, and fold, you’re not alone. In the U.S., 660 million laundry loads are washed every week, totaling a whopping 35 billion loads each year. But, have you ever considered what’s lurking in your laundry detergent? Could your laundry detergent be toxic to your health and the environment (hint: yes).
From phosphates and dyes to synthetic surfactants, optical brighteners, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and chlorine, your conventional laundry detergent brand is likely exposing you and your family to a host of toxic chemicals, allergens, respiratory irritants, hormone disruptors, and maybe even a cancer-causing chemical. Not to mention the plastic waste that your laundry jug is adding to landfills. To add fuel to the laundry jug fire, this plastic can take more than 100 years to break down. But the environmental buck doesn’t stop there. Laundry detergent is a major source of microplastic pollution, with a single load releasing up to 700,000 microplastic fibers into the water. Yikes!
Our guest, Anita Spiller, leads ESG for Tru Earth, a Certified B Corp global household cleaning product company, Anita focuses on eliminating household single-use plastics, battling microplastics, and donating earth-friendly products to organizations in need.
