Microplastics, Non-Stick Pans, and Hidden Hormone Disruptors: How to Reduce Toxin Exposure at Home Artwork

feelgoodery

Hey friend - my name is Kyle Buchanan and although I talk nutrition and health for a living nowadays - whether through talks, videos, or as a resident contributor on Canada's "The Morning Show", it was NOT that long ago that I was an anxious, drunken, closeted, self-doubty wreck. Being a grown up is tough, and messy - where we’re confident one day and anxiety-ridden the next. I don't like faking it. I DO however, like getting it all out in the open, laughing about it, and then exploring a few tools that can help us feel better if (and only if) we are in the mood. So whether it’s solo episodes or honest conversations with spectacular guests -this show is the blend of revelations, self-help, knowledge and gay magic that NO one asked for, but everyone needs. And I'm so glad you're here.

Microplastics, Non-Stick Pans, and Hidden Hormone Disruptors: How to Reduce Toxin Exposure at Home

March 27, 2025 • Kyle Buchanan

I’m not into fear-mongering—but I am into paying attention to the little things that can quietly mess with our health.

So today, we’re diving into everyday products that could be exposing you to unwanted chemicals, and more importantly, what you can swap them with that’s realistic, not ridiculous. This episode is all about simple swaps to help reduce what your body takes in at home.

We’re Covering:

Why microplastics are ending up in our brains (and what to swap in your kitchen to cut exposure)
The deal with black plastic utensils—and why they’re extra concerning
Why you might want to swap non-stick pans, and even more so if there’s any scratches on them
Candle ingredients that can mess with hormones—and cleaner options that still smell great
Dryer sheets
