Ever feel like the products we use daily might be harming us more than helping? In part 2 of our conversation with Alex Clark, host of Culture Apothecary, we’re diving deep into the hidden dangers lurking in our kitchens and medicine cabinets. Alex reveals the unsettling history of plastics in our daily items, the risks of non-stick cookware, and even the shocking origins of birth control, exploring how women’s health decisions have long been influenced by profit-driven agendas. From the disturbing story behind Teflon and Dark Waters to the role of big corporations in today’s food and health standards, Alex breaks down the harmful additives and chemicals in everyday products. Don’t miss this eye-opening episode that will make you rethink everything in your pantry! Healers & Heal-Liners: Our Everyday Exposure: From plastics in our Starbucks cups to toxic non-stick cookware, we are continuously exposed to chemicals through common products that leach toxins into our food and drinks. Childhood Vaccines: Alex notes the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule has increased to 70 doses by age 18, with many shots combined, raising concerns about potential health impacts. Birth Control Trials: Birth control testing in the 1950s used Puerto Rican women without informed consent, leading to severe health complications and even fatalities. This shows the lack of transparency around women’s health. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop my Macy’s Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/ Alex’s Resources: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realalexclark/?hl=en Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/culture-apothecary-with-alex-clark/id1507839530 Resources she mentioned: Full Roundtable discussion https://rumble.com/v5fy7bv-american-health-and-nutrition-a-second-opinion.html Vani Hari’s Kelloggs Petition The Business of Birth Control Documentary ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
