The Well Being

In this episode of The Well Being, we're thrilled to be joined by Sydney Bennett, pediatric occupational therapist and co-founder of BabyFit. Together with Rachel, we dive deep into all things baby development — from the importance of tummy time to understanding (and sometimes questioning) the role baby equipment plays in reaching key milestones.

We also explore how social media has shaped parents’ expectations around baby development, and why milestones exist as a window of time. We chat through many questions that new parents may have including both a PT and OT perspective about play, movement, sensory, and behavior!

Whether you're a new parent, caregiver, or just curious about how little ones grow, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of The Well Being, we’re talking all things dry shampoo—the convenient, time-saving staple in many of our routines. But what’s really in those cans? And are they all created equal?

In this episode of The Well Being, we’re getting into the nitty-gritty of something you (hopefully) use every day: dental floss. Turns out, not all floss is created equal—and some of it might be coated in more than just mint.

We break down what ingredients to look out for on the label, especially when it comes to coatings that may contain PFAS—also known as "forever chemicals"—which have been linked to a range of health concerns. Yep, even your floss can be part of the low-tox living conversation.

We’ll also talk about safer floss options, what to look for when shopping, and some of the brands we love that prioritize both oral health and overall wellness.

If you're aiming for a cleaner routine from top to bottom (or tooth to gum), this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Well Being, we’re talking all about… mouthwash. Yep, that minty-fresh rinse might be doing more than you think!

We dive into what the research says about certain mouthwashes—especially alcohol-based or chlorhexidine—and how they might be linked to high blood pressure. It turns out that messing with your mouth’s natural bacteria can have a bigger impact than just your breath.

We also chat about why these types of mouthwashes should really only be used short-term and for specific reasons, ideally with guidance from your dentist. Plus, we share some healthier, everyday options and a few mouthwash brands we actually like.

If you're looking to upgrade your oral care routine without harming your overall health, this one's for you.

Welcome back to The Well Being — where we explore the science of feeling and living well. In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at creatine, a supplement often associated with athletes, but with benefits that extend far beyond the gym.

We dive into the latest research on creatine’s impact across a range of areas — from physical performance to skin health, cognitive function, and its potential role in supporting diverse populations, including older adults, women, and those with specific health conditions.
