Episode 226: PFAS – The “Forever Chemicals” in Everyday Products

When it comes to reducing toxins in our homes, some of the biggest threats are the ones we can’t see.

This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re wrapping up our low-tox living series with an episode that’s essential for every modern household: a deep but practical look at PFAS chemicals — often called “forever chemicals” for good reason. These invisible toxins are used in everything from non-stick cookware to school uniforms, food packaging to mascara… and they don't just disappear. They linger in our homes, our water, and even our bodies.

In this episode, we unpack how PFAS exposure builds up over time, why it’s especially concerning for kids and pregnant women, and how to start making sustainable changes that actually feel doable. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by toxin talk, this conversation will help ground and guide you.

Here's what we cover:

• What PFAS are and why they’re known as “forever chemicals”.
• Where these toxins show up in everyday life from pans to prams to personal care.
• How PFAS exposure may impact immunity, hormones, and long-term health  especially in children.
• Gentle but effective steps to reduce your family’s toxic load, one swap at a time.

🎧 Tune in to feel informed, supported, and empowered to make safer, low-tox choices that ripple into long-term wellbeing for your family.
