Welcome back to week two of our Rebel Wellness "Hot Take Summer Series"! This week we're taking on the debate between organic and non-organic foods. This conversation is particularly crucial for understanding how our choices impact not only our personal health but our environment as well. I'll explore the history of organic farming, debunk common myths, and discuss the darker past of pesticides like DDT, linking back to their effects on both agriculture and public health. Join me as I break down the importance of choosing organic for certain types of produce, known as the 'Dirty Dozen', and provide practical tips for incorporating more organic foods into your budget.

We'll also look into the impact of pesticides on our health, including their role as endocrine disruptors and potential links to chronic illnesses. It’s all about empowering you to prioritize your health through informed food choices, ensuring what you consume nourishes rather than harms. Tune in to gain a clearer perspective on organic vs. non-organic foods and learn how to optimize your dietary choices for your health and the health of our planet.
