| 11 Jun 2018 | #011: Artificial Sweeteners, Zero Calories & The Pregnancy Warning You May Not Have Known About (Aspartame. Sucralose, Splenda, Saccharin, Stevia & More.) | 00:51:02 | |
We’ve all heard sugar is bad for us. But, have you ever stopped to think about the consequences of substituting sugar for ‘DIET’ alternatives – such as those brightly colored, zero-calorie, artificial sweeteners instead? Sucralose (Splenda), Saccharin (Sweet & Low), Aspartame (Equal or NutraSweet), Stevia (Sweet Leaf), & Sugar Alcohols (like Xylitol) are hiding in too many standard American food items to count. They’ve all been made in a lab by chemists discovering how to make our food sweeter with less calories – at the expense of our long term health. Plus, we can’t deny the fact that they’ve been perfectly marketed to us as one of the most recognizable condiments available to us at almost every coffee shop and restaurant in America – for FREE. If you don’t know them by name – we can confidently assume that you know them as the little “pink, yellow and blue packets” always crammed in next to the sugar. What’s not to like about FREE stuff? Or better yet … SWEET stuff? We hope to make you stop and think about this long and hard today.
Are they good for us? Are they harmless? … Is zero calories really better? We dive into all of this and more during this episode while expanding on the bigger conversation from episode 10 where we discussed Added Sugar, the popular motto YOLO & It’s Hidden Effects on Your Long-Term Health
We want to give you your Power back. What you do with this information is up to you. We're two critical care nurses on a mission to inspire you, motivate you, and empower you.

| 12 Oct 2024 | #090: Is There a Link Between Mold and Cancer? Dr. Dennis Shares Current Research on Mycotoxins and Their Health Impacts | 00:35:03 | |
In this special episode, we’re uncovering the hidden dangers of mold and its surprising connection to cancer. Many of us think of mold as a minor inconvenience—something to clean off the bathroom tiles or toss out with spoiled food. But mold can produce harmful compounds called mycotoxins, which can have serious long-term health effects, including an increased risk of cancer. We’ll explore what mycotoxins are, how they contaminate everyday foods, and how they respond to standard cooking and food processing methods. Plus, we’ll dive into the health consequences of long-term exposure, especially when fighting cancer. Joining us today is Dr. Dennis, an expert in mold-related illnesses and an ENT doctor who has treated more than 80,000 patients. He will explain how mold impacts our health, what we know about the connection between mold and cancer now, as well as practical tips to reduce your exposure at home and in your diet. Tune in to learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones from this often overlooked health threat! Today’s episode is Part 3 of a 5-Part Series on mold, brought to you by Micro Balance Health Products and Dr. Donald Dennis’ revolutionary EC3 line of mold-fighting products. You know on this podcast we only ever partner with products we personally use and strongly believe in and research.

| 06 Mar 2018 | #002: Preventative Health Simplified | 00:43:22 | |
The first episode kicked off introducing ourselves - who we are as critical care nurses - and why we care so much about preventative health. In this episode, we do our best to simplify the definition of preventative health and discuss simple lifestyle changes you can make to SIMPLIFY your daily life. Prevention should improve your overall health - without overcomplicating your life. Here's the New York Times article that fueled this discussion, it's titled 'Preventive Care Saves Money? Sorry, It’s Too Good to Be True' ... we've linked the article below and share our opinions around it within the episode. (( spoiler alert - we don't agree.)) https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/29/upshot/preventive-health-care-costs.html Prevention starts with you. You're responsible for your health. We truly believe this. Here are a few other facts we shared during the episode, sourced from NIH.gov - 33.9% of adults 18 and older in the US are pre-diabetec - by 2050 1 out of every 3 americans will be diabetic - Serum Hemoglobin a1c of 5.7-6.4 is considered pre-diabetic - Serum Hemoglobin a1c of 6.5 or greater is diabetic - Serum fasting glucose less than 100 is considered normal - Serum fasting glucose of 100-125 is considered pre-diabetic - 2 in 3 American adults (70.2 percent) are considered to be overweight or have obesity

| 26 Nov 2018 | #018: Plastics, Hormones, Weight Gain & The 6 Simple Steps To Take Your Power Back, with Jennifer Klotz, MS, RDN, LDN | 00:44:35 | |
What if we told you that you could significantly reduce your chance of developing or even begin to reverse most weight problems, skin issues, hormone imbalances, autoimmune conditions or metabolic disorders? These are statistically significant problems in our society & this week, we're here to tell you: We still have the chance to drastically reverse most of these issues - all by reducing/minimizing our exposures to a special group of chemicals known as endocrine disruptors, found in most everyday items that most of us are being exposed to without even thinking twice about it. Jennifer Klotz, MS, RDN, LDN is here to empower us to make more informed choices when it comes to the widely available (chemical) products most of us are using on a daily basis and still bringing into our homes. It's time to take our power back and realize that everything we're exposed to - has the ability to impact our health. It's no longer just about calories in, calories out. (that's an old and very inaccurate way of looking at health by the way.) We now know, there's such a larger influence on our bodies than just the foods that we're eating. THIS episode is full of actionable takeaways you won't want to miss. We dive deeper into the products you need to be aware of and give you simple solutions to start taking action and potentially improve your health, TODAY.

| 09 Apr 2018 | #007: Antibiotics, Gastrointestinal Issues & long-term Birth Control use – Laura Gluck of FitAsGluck – Dives into her Personal Health Issues & Navigation of the Standard American Healthcare System. | 01:01:52 | |
In this episode, Laura Gluck of www.fitasgluck.com shares her personal story with us for the first time. Ironically, it starts just like anyone else & we have a feeling you’ll be able to relate. It begins … when she was born. Healthy. Strong. Without Complications. Until a multitude of childhood infections led to multiple antibiotic prescriptions, resulting digestive issues, ovarian cysts, birth control, gallbladder surgery, hospital admission for sepsis - and so much more. Laura takes us through her personal medical history and reveals how, what seemed to be a moment in time, was the middle piece of a very complex puzzle. She starts by explaining parts of her history she didn’t realize were so important or so connected to other areas of her health until recently. From labs showing glucose intolerance, elevated stress hormones and altered thyroid function, to casually being put on oral birth control to manage symptoms at age 15, no questions asked. We realize now how connected it truly all was. More than a decade later - after taking “the pill” without knowing any better - Laura discusses the various research she has since uncovered linking her seemingly harmless prescription pill to potentially be the cause of her gallbladder issues and multitude of other digestive symptoms when she was younger. As always, we encourage you to do your own research and continue to seek out answers to your questions for yourself. For your reference, here’s the article about gallbladder disease and certain oral contraceptives that Laura refers to in this episode: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3091897/ It’s because of this complex history - that Laura decided to explore her own health under a new lens, while employing the listeners to truly understand the risks associated with medications. Ultimately, while discussing their own health histories in episodes 6 & 7, Laura Gluck & Briana Reesing - the co-hosts of this podcast - hope to remind each of you listening to approach your health story holistically - while being mindful of bio-indivduality, realizing that the risk/benefit of each medication, diagnosis or treatment decision will be different for each person. Nothing in life is a one size fits all, especially when it comes to health and the treatment prescribed. In this episode, Laura helps to bridge the gap to make her primary message extremely clear - everyone has their own story & although it’s possible to learn from eachother’s experiences, we also need to approach our own health in our own way - while figuring what solution works best for you, individually. Never stop pursuing what ‘health’ looks like to you - as we hope to inspire each and everyone of you to persistently learn, educate yourselves and expand your knowledge around your health. That is, after all - at the core of why we show up for this podcast every week.

| 26 Mar 2018 | #005: Expanding the Conversation around Real Food | 00:41:38 | |
Let go of the rules, Live simply & Eat real food. That’s obviously easier said than done when you’re just getting started on your health journey – but we want to do our best to help simplify it for you in this episode. We hope to inspire you to become motivated by a meaningful WHY that will leave a positive impact on the long term benefits behind your decisions around food. This episode is part 2 of 2 – in other words – a continuation of episode 4 – in which we dove in to our own personal stories and told you which fad diets and food rules we have both previously subscribed to. Neither of us were able to maintain a restrictive diet long term – due to food cravings, subsequent health issues and underlying flaws that are always associated with restrictive food rules - i.e. – unnecessary stress, shame and guilt around food.
Here are a few of the resources we mentioned at the end: The newest book that we’re both currently reading & loving is written by a well known functional medicine doctor at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Mark Hyman – if you haven’t heard of him – we hope you fall in love with his message as much as we have. It’s called… FOOD: What the Heck Should I Eat? We also briefly mention the book Bri followed for the elimination diet in 2016 which allowed her to pinpoint the symptoms linked to the adult onset food allergies she had developed. You can learn more about the underlying causes and symptoms of food allergies you might be suffering from in this life changing book written by Dr. Leo Galland ... It's called ...
& an incredible cookbook that will get you back in the kitchen and inspire you to love your home cooked food again – written by a holistic chef who also happens to be a very good friend of ours, Laura Lea Goldberg, you can learn more about her on instagram at @lauraleabalanced Her cookbook is … The Laura Lea Balanced Cookbook: 120+ Everyday Recipes for the Healthy Home Cook
We dive deeper into the food camps and fad diets during this episode – discussing the differences between – Vegan – Vegetarian – Paleo – Keto – Whole 30 – Weight Watchers – Atkins – 21 day fix – you name it …. Ultimately we believe they actually all have something in common – to help you become aware of the food that you’re eating and how it’s making you feel. However, they don’t reach the ultimate goal like we want them to – for us it’s always about your overall, long-term health & happiness. That’s what needs to be at the center of anything and everything you choose to do.

Lymphedema and lipedema are two conditions that often go misdiagnosed or overlooked, despite their potential to significantly impact a person's long-term health, especially women. Join us for this special conversation with Jean LaMantia, R.D., a cancer nutrition specialist, and an expert in nutritional support for the conditions of lymphedema and lipedema. One of her superpowers is digging into the research that does exist and making connections. Jean is a Registered Dietitian in Canada and the United States with more than 20 years’ experience helping people to achieve their nutrition goals and use food to fight cancer and cancer recurrence. She has researched and authored or co-authored three books on nutrition for cancer, lymphedema and intermittent fasting.

In this episode, we will explore those differences, the challenges of misdiagnosis, the importance of advocating for proper treatment, the role of the lymphatic system, the benefits of an anti-inflammatory diet, and insights on intermittent fasting and its positive impact on lymphedema and lipedema.

| 03 Apr 2018 | #006: Stress, Inflammation & Microbiome Disruption – Briana Reesing of Beachlifeorganic - Dives into an Alternative Approach of Getting to The Root Cause of Her Symptoms. | 00:50:39 | |
We’re all unique – with our own health history, symptoms and life events. In this episode, critical conversations co-host: Briana Reesing of www.beachlifeorganic.com shares her own personal story in hopes of motivating you to seek out answers for the symptoms you may be having before it’s too late. It’s not always easy to get a clear diagnosis when the symptoms you’re having are vague or infrequent. But, that doesn’t mean you should give up. Be your own best advocate, listen to the signals and symptoms your body is showing you and begin to dial into those. Briana shares her own personal ‘journey’ of autoimmune issues triggered by increased stress in her adult life accompanied by a multitude of factors that had been leading up to the problem for years before the symptoms began presenting themselves. She was getting married, buying a house, fighting to stop a termite fumigation of her house, and working full time as a charge nurse of a busy ER when her body began shutting down.
If we learned anything from this year long process of uncovering the root cause of Briana’s issues … it’s this: There is power in discovering what is at the root cause of your symptoms. Prescription medications may be a necessary tool to utilize as a short term fix – but keep in mind – they are not the cure. They do not address the root of the problem & it’s up to you to consider seeking out answers about your health in order to solve and reverse the trigger causing it all. In Briana’s case – after struggling with depression and social isolation due to her symptoms – she began strictly following a 3 month guided elimination diet, in which she was ultimately able to uncover the trigger behind all of her symptoms: GLUTEN. Discuss with your doctor if an elimination diet might be right for you. The book Briana used to guide her elimination diet was written by a well known functional medicine doctor, recognized as one of the top leaders of integrative medicine; his name is Dr. Leo Galland & you can learn more by reading his book: The Allergy Solution.

| 03 Dec 2024 | #100: Totally Transform Your Gut Health and Holiday Baking with Heritage Wheat! A Conversation with Sunrise Flour Mill & Linens and Loaves | 00:59:02 | |
Our 100th Episode is one we are so excited to share with you! Thank you for being here! We have a special conversation with Sunrise Flour Mill and Linens and Loaves, a microbakery. Holiday baking is more than just a tradition—it’s a time when food brings people together. The warmth of the kitchen, the smell of fresh bread in the oven, and the joy of sharing something homemade can make the holidays even more special. But for many, bread has been off the table due to discomfort or digestive issues. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. While gluten sensitivity is a concern for some, for many, it’s actually the type of flour and its processing methods that make all the difference. In this episode, we explore how choosing the right flour can transform the holiday baking experience for some of us. The right flour can make bread not only more delicious but also more digestible. We share our personal journey of going gluten-free for years because traditional bread made us feel terrible — and what impact Heritage Wheat had for us. Joining us are Marty Glanville, co-founder of Sunrise Flour Mill with her husband, and Alexandria Fisk of the microbakery Linens and Loaves, who are both passionate about bringing heritage flours to the forefront of the baking world. If you’ve been avoiding bread and want to enjoy it again—especially during the holidays—this episode is for you! Tune in to learn how to make holiday bread that’s not just healthier but actually enjoyable. You’ll walk away ready to try baking your own loaves and see how a few simple changes can make a world of difference in how you feel. Curious? Let’s get baking! Marty Glanville – Co-Founder of Sunrise Flour Mill (@sunriseflourmill) Marty Glanville is the visionary behind Sunrise Flour Mill, located in North Branch, Minnesota. After recognizing the need for healthier, more digestible flour options, Marty and her husband "unretired" and set out to change the way we think about baking. Sunrise Flour Mill produces single-source, organic, heritage flours using a unique milling technology from the 1930s called the Unifine mill. This high-velocity impact mill shatters the grain into fine particles, creating flour that’s lighter, fluffier, and easier on the digestive system. In a word, it's unbelievable! By focusing on organic heritage grains, Marty’s commitment to both sustainability and health ensures that Sunrise Flour Mill produces flour that not only delivers exceptional baking results but also supports long-term wellness. Alexandria Fisk – Founder of Linens & Loaves (@linensandloaves) Alexandria Flisk is the heart behind Linens & Loaves, where she crafts fresh, homemade bread for her local community using the highest quality ingredients, including the organic heritage flour from Sunrise Flour Mill. As a homeschooling mom of two and a lover of pottery, Alexandria blends her passion for family, sustainable living, and quality baking into everything she does. From the moment she launched Linens & Loaves, her goal has been to bring people together around fresh, delicious bread—made with flour that’s not just better for you, but also more digestible. Whether it’s baking the perfect loaf or building community, Alexandria’s journey is a beautiful example of how simple, high-quality ingredients can create meaningful connections and nourishing experiences. About Sunrise Flour Mill: Sunrise Flour Mill is dedicated to helping people rediscover real food with their organic heritage wheat products. These flours are more nutritious, flavorful, and easier to digest than modern hybridized wheat, making them a great choice for those with gluten intolerance. Their offerings include organic pizza flour, whole wheat pastry flour, bread flour, and all-purpose white flour, along with healthy cereals, pancake mixes, waffle mixes, and oatmeal. They also offer a variety of organic baking mixes like scone, biscuit, crepe, and bran muffin mixes, as well as organic pasta options such as fusilli, rigatoni, and radiatore noodles. Sunrise Flour Mill hopes to inspire home bakers with their quality ingredients, tools, and recipes, and they are always available to assist with any questions. --- Join us for Old Traditions, New Healthy Ways. 5 Days with 5 radically simple, yet dramatically powerful changes.

| 02 May 2019 | #022: Celery Juice, Intuitive Eating, & The Thyroid Issue No One is Talking About, with Jennifer Klotz, MS, RD, LDN | 00:45:00 | |
92% of All Americans have at least ONE nutrient deficiency. Known to cause a multitude of health issues, such as: muscle cramps, joint pain, headaches, skin issues, fatigue, sleep issues, inflammation, bleeding of the gums, autoimmune conditions, etc. & Yet, instead of paying attention to what intuitively sounds right, tastes good, and makes us feel well - the majority of us are falling victim to fad trends while losing the ability to know what our bodies actually need - intuitively. Access additional resources, articles and get the FULL SHOW NOTES on our website: www.criticalconversationspodcast.com/episode022 Being deficient in just one nutrient is serious, and yet most of us have no idea what our labs look like. These 'imbalances' truly throw your body out of balance and can lead to chronic health issues if left unaddressed, long term. This is why adding something new to your diet with a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals to your morning routine will make you feel instantly better. (This doesn't have to just be Celery Juice. It can be water, a smoothie, a salad, or anything nutrient dense!) + CELERY JUICE USERS BEWARE: there are risks associated with daily consumption of such a large amount of celery on a daily basis – and we’re here to make sure you’re aware of both sides of the story. Are you taking any prescription medications? Do you have a history of thyroid issues? Digestive Issues? Sensitivity to the Sun? … you really need to listen to this episode to understand how celery juice might be (negatively) effecting your health, long-term. Even if it's making you feel great - right now. In a way, it’s the new superfood – think matcha, kale, coconut oil, goji berries – all the things that have come and gone from the health food spotlight with each passing year. Ultimately, we're hoping to leave you feeling well educated and inspired to make each lifestyle choice a decision of your own - once you've heard both sides of the story. Diving into this conversation with Jennifer Klotz. She's a Registered Dietitian, Holistic Nutritionist and she brings incredible insight and a wealth of knowledge to the table for this conversation.

| 21 Mar 2018 | #004: Fad Diets, Food Rules & The Peer Pressure clouding your judgement | 00:35:05 | |
Let's dive into the messy and complicated world of FOOD – sorting out fad diets, dogmatic food rules and discussing the different food camps that are currently popular in 2018. As registered nurses, we're not nutritionists or dietitians - but we are human. So we've had many of our own experiences around food. Plus, we've each fallen victim to the peer pressure at different stages of our lives based on our goals & we've each had our own personal journey around the discovery of the nutrition hiding in our food & the way of eating that works best for us individually. In this episode - we discuss how we got to where we our today – what our opinions are on all of it – while trying to uncomplicate it for you to understand it all better and make the best decisions for yourself in regards to food. We get personal – telling you which fad diets and dogmatic food rules we’ve subscribed to in the past and how that worked for us long term. Spoiler alert – it never works long term – it always comes back around to one basic, simple rule. Not any one single way of eating is perfect for everybody. Vegan, Vegetarian, Keto, Paleo, Macro, High Fat – Low Carb, High Carb – Low Fat, Weight Watchers, Atkins, Whole 30, 21 day fix…. The list goes on and on. But the answer is simple. Eat Real Food. Mostly Plants. Not too much. - Michael Polan said it best, and we’ve come to realize – that no matter which dogmatic food camp you may be subscribed to – we can all agree that REAL FOOD is at the core of our ultimate health and well being. Did you know….. Oreos and Coca Cola are vegan? – our point being …. No matter what group you belong too – you still need to take personal responsibility for the daily food choices you’re making while understanding the long-term effects of the foods your choosing to consume and WHY. Understanding the why behind the food we're eating will ultimately allow you to simplify your food choices long term, walk away from the rules, remove the emotional entrapment you’ve most likely felt at least once in your life around food – and we hope to allow you to begin enjoying food and the way it’s making you feel at your core – quite possibly for the first time in your life once you discover the 'why' behind our passion on this topic.

| 15 Oct 2018 | #012: Things Change . People Change . Don't Let That Stop You | 00:13:27 | |
The Critical Conversations Podcast was created by two friends that just so happened to be critical care nurses with a decade of experience taking care of extremely sick people - motivated by the things we knew we could change - frustrated by the capabilities & time made available to us within the American healthcare system. We ( Briana Reesing & Laura Gluck ) created this podcast for YOU & whole heartedly believe in the potential around the power of taking things into your own hands after seeing the true handicaps of the traditional system.We know from personal experience - that seeking out constant education and motivation when it comes to everything preventative health - is the most powerful thing you can do for your health and your life. Sadly, Laura has decided to step away from this podcast. Our friendship remains strong . & our passion to motivate you to take care of yourself is still very much - common ground between us - life has just pulled us in two different directions, and that's OK. Things Change. People Change . & We have to learn to follow our hearts. If it's not a Hell YES, then it's a NO. ... Even if that means having difficult conversations with the people we love and saying "NO" to the things that no longer serve us. Choose You. Always put yourself and your health - above all else. Seriously - you are the most important thing in this world . In your world . and we can't encourage you enough to seek out the things that light you up . the things that motivate you . the things that make you feel your best.

| 14 May 2018 | #010: Added Sugar, YOLO & It's Hidden Effects on Your Long-Term Health | 00:40:26 | |
YOLO (you only live once). It may be a 'fun' common way to say 'live a little' - but we take it's meaning - Quite Literally. SUGAR – is known to cause cavities, diabetes (type 2) and weight gain when consumed in high amounts on a regular basis. But, DID YOU KNOW – it has now also been linked to digestive issues such as leaky gut and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, high blood pressure, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, dementia and has even been linked to increase the likelihood and growth rate of certain cancers? That being said... What if we told you, you had the power to take your health back and do your best to prevent these above mentioned diseases solely by paying attention to what you’re eating …. Would you do something about it? Change your habits? Switch up your morning routine? Maybe skip the coffee & donut combo every single day and reach for something more nutritious for the health of it? How much sugar have you eaten today? Truly take a minute to think about it. Google it – Look into it. Turn the package around.
According to the World Health Organization - It’s recommended that women consume no more than 25 grams of ADDED sugar on a daily basis at most. (For men – the recommended amount is no more than 30 grams – max.) Use that information & go from there. Information is Power. & The sole reason we show up every week for this podcast is simple..
We want to give you your Power back. What you do with this information is up to you. We're two critical care nurses on a mission to inspire you, motivate you, empower you.

Continuing our last conversation from episode 16 with Brigid all about the imperative role our gut health plays in our overall health, mood, and well-being. This week – we’re focusing in on GLUTEN & why so many people are experiencing improved health once going “gluten free”, the right way. As the saying goes – “you are what you eat”. But, now we know, it’s actually more about what you “absorb” that makes you who you are. Is gluten affecting all of us negatively, or is it just a small percentage of the population? Should we all be eating gluten free? Could you potentially be intolerant and not even know it? We answer all of your questions and more. Additional show notes, links & resources available at: www.criticalconversationspodcast.com/episode020 & Sign-up for Monday Motivation e-mails here: www.criticalconversationspodcast.com/contact
Should you get tested for celiac if you think you’re sensitive to gluten? Is there benefit to putting yourself through the testing? Or is strictly avoiding gluten enough? – Brigid answers it all in this episode. Including the “correct way” to go gluten free. She warns us about the “HEALTH HALO EFFECT” & reminds us to remain open minded when it comes to shifting away from current food norms in order to establish a wider variety of nutrition in our daily routine.

| 13 Nov 2018 | #016: Is It Willpower, Or Is It Your Microbiome? Discussing The Foods & Lifestyle Habits That Are Effecting Our Gut Health On A Daily Basis - with Brigid Titgemeier | 00:43:22 | |
Gut Health is one of the major key factors we should all be becoming increasingly aware of when it comes to protecting our long-term health. We’re only just beginning to understand, as a society, how intricately related the balance of our microbiome is to our mood, our energy and our immune system. In this episode: Antibiotics, processed foods, refined and artificial sugars, prescription medications, pesticides covering conventional produce & all of our community parks, living in sterile work and home environments, willpower & calorie counting, as well as the impact that a lack of exposure to the outdoors, fermented foods, pre-biotics and pro-biotics are all having on our long term health. According to Brigid Titgemeier, MSN, RD, LDN -
Within 3 days of changing your diet – you can alter the balance of your microbiome for better or worse. It's important to be cognizant of the relationship, because it truly has everything to do with the foods we're eating. Food provides us with more than just nutrients, vitamins and minerals – it's also providing the potential to feed or starve certain bacteria living within our digestive tract - which therefore triggers a cascade of signals that are sent out based on the size of the colonies and the chemical messages released from the bacteria living within us.

Are you eating your clothes? That’s a crazy question, right? But, the answer is most likely, YES.

In this episode: We talk about the canary in the coal mine, plastic and how it effects your health, what microfibers are, where they come from, how you’re creating them – and why it’s not your fault! Honestly, if you are dealing with a chronic illness, you are fatigued, and your skin is breaking out and elimination diets aren’t helping, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. We break down a new way to look at the clothes you wear, which can be a powerful step to healing your body and taking a chemical load off of it.
We have a lot of simple solutions you can start immediately and Heather has her favorite 14 ways you can stop creating microfibers here.
