Episode 224: Let’s Talk Plastics – Simple Swaps to Reduce Daily Exposure

When we think about reducing toxin exposure in our families, plastics are one of the biggest and most overlooked culprits.

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our low-tox living series by unpacking the health risks of everyday plastic products — and more importantly, what you can do about it. We made sure you'll walk away with information as to how hidden chemicals found in plastic containers, toys, personal care products, and even clothing could be impacting your child’s long-term health.

This episode will help you cut through the overwhelm and make realistic, sustainable swaps for a healthier home — starting with just one change a week.

Here's what we cover:

• How BPA and phthalates found in common plastics disrupt hormones, metabolism, and immunity especially in growing kids
• Where these chemicals are hiding in your home including surprising places like receipts, personal care products, and baby food packaging.
• Simple, practical swaps to reduce plastic exposure in your family’s everyday life.
• Why early exposure to these toxins may play a role in the rise of early-onset cancers, as highlighted in the Four Corners report “Generation Cancer”.

🎧 Tune in to feel supported, informed, and empowered as you take small but meaningful steps to reduce your family’s exposure to harmful chemicals in plastics. From lunch boxes to laundry, this episode will inspire you to rethink plastic use in your home with a calm, realistic mindset.
