The Switch Podcast with Andrea from Switch Natural

Seeing a gap in the market for healthy nail care, artist Suzanne Shade developed a one-of-a-kind manicure set that gives the ritual of beautiful nails without the toxins. In this conversation she walks us through her journey and explains why no nail polish is truly "clean." We talk about the nail industry, and her thoughts on the intersection of beauty and health. Suzanne explains the importance of healthy habits during pregnancy and beyond, so that we set good examples for children as they grow. I loved learning about Suzanne's creative process and the thoughtfulness that goes into every single detail of her products including function, design, and sustainability.

Braci's healing journey began 6 years ago, but it wasn't until 2020 that she realized the massive role the food industry played in her struggle with food. After experiencing life changing results, she made it her mission to help many people as possible. We discuss not only the biological side of food addiction, but also the psychological side and cover everything from trauma to authenticity to ice baths! Braci's radical honesty and openness is nothing short of incredible, and I can't wait for you to hear her inspiring story. 

Being a scientist, Shelly Winokur was determined to find the root cause when it came to her young son's eczema. Her brand Kiss Kiss Goodnight was born out of the need for a baby cleanser suitable for his sensitive skin.

We talk about the importance of the skin microbiome and why it's crucial to properly care for a baby's skin. If you are faced with the challenge of sensitive or eczema prone skin, this episode is for you. Shelly is mom of four and is involved in every aspect of her brand including formulating products in her lab at home. I had so much fun talking with Shelly and I know you will really enjoy this conversation!
