In this episode, you’re going to learn about a common food additive that sounds very safe and natural but in reality isn’t.

I’m talking about citric acid.

You have probably seen it on ingredient labels and, chances are you believe it to be just an acid from citrus fruits or even concentrated lemon juice.

I used to think that, too.

Until I did some thorough research and learned the truth.

Citric acid is widely used in foods and supplements.

Because it sounds so harmless, most people don’t question the safety of citric acid and consume it daily without actually knowing what they are ingesting.

If you’ve been reading ingredient labels and skipping over citric acid because you believe it’s natural, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’re going to learn about a very toxic ingredient that hides in your healthy foods and supplements.

I’m talking about natural flavors.

Natural lemon flavor, berry flavor, vanilla flavor, and many others…

They look so harmless on product labels.

When it comes to artificial flavors, you are probably avoiding those already.

But natural flavors…

They are a healthy alternative, right?

When I learned the truth about natural flavors, I was shocked.

I couldn’t believe that such a toxic ingredient is allowed in foods and supplements in every single country in the world.

After listening to this episode, you will never see natural flavors as harmless ever again.

Be prepared to have your mind blown.

Ingredient labels used to make zero sense to me. But the more research I did on this over the years, the less confusing it got.

My hope is that this episode and the list I’m sharing will help you understand ingredient labels without having to research this topic for years yourself.

In this episode, you’re going to learn if the baking soda you’re using is toxic.

Spoiler alert: there are two types of baking soda.

I used to think “Baking soda is baking soda, right?”

Well, not really.

The end product known as sodium bicarbonate is the same.

But there are two different ways that baking soda can be sourced.

Also, if you’re using aluminum-free baking soda, you are in for a big surprise.

In this episode, you’re going to learn if BPA-free plastic is actually better.

BPA-free food containers, water bottles, baby bottles…

Do you use them?

Do you believe them to be safe?

Hate to break it to you, but... you got tricked.

You and me both! I still have a couple of fancy BPA-free food containers I don’t use.

Today, I’m going to explain how BPA-free plastics can be as bad (or even worse than!) plastics that contain BPA.

You might have heard that EMFs are harmful. You also might have heard the exact opposite.

If you’re confused, you’re not the only one. A lot of people are confused about this topic. Seven years ago, I was too.

I often see people go to great lengths to reduce their EMF exposure and even buy EMF meters to use in their homes – and yet, they don’t really know what EMFs are.

If this is you, it’s okay! No one has ever explained this to you properly. And if you go to Google for help, you will get all kinds of opinions that contradict each other.

What I’m about to share with you is the result of years of research, aha moments, connecting the dots, and, honestly, collecting this information by freaking crumbs.

This episode is your EMFs 101. It’s like a mini crash course I WISH I had when I started exploring this topic.

You will learn what EMFs are and whether or not they can harm your health.

As the title promises, you will FINALLY understand EMFs after this episode.
