This is the Pursuit of Wellness podcast and I'm your host Mari Llewellyn. Hi guys, welcome back to POW. Today we have an amazing episode all about non-toxic living. This is something that I have really evolved into over the past couple years. I think having this podcast and speaking to some amazing experts has really helped me lean into that and really embrace non-toxic living where I can in a balanced way. I think there's definitely two ends of the spectrum, like full non-toxic living where you avoid every chemical possible, and live in the middle of nowhere. And then there's the other spectrum where you are like ingrained in toxins every day. And I think that there's a middle ground. And I think by listening to the experts we have on the show today, you'll be able to decipher, okay, what can I actually do comfortably?
And for me, it's a few things. For me, it's, you know, not having fragrant candles in the house, not having air fresheners in my car. It's using clean cleaning products, eating organic foods, using red light bulbs in my bedroom. Like, I guess I'm a little more on the far end of the spectrum, a little more non-toxic, but I think there's something we can all learn from this episode. And it's really important because it's having a significant impact on our hormones, our endocrine system. We're seeing it affect us. I mean, even me, like microplastics are affecting us and heavy metals and... It's affecting our fertility and our health in general. So I think where we can, embracing non-toxic living can just only help us, our future children, the kids you have now, our pets, whatever it may be.
So I really think you guys will enjoy this episode. We have some amazing guests on the show with amazing advice for products you can use for non-toxic personal care and household products, even improving air quality in the home. That's been huge for me and Greg. filtering water. There's so many things you can do. I think creating a sanctuary in your house allows you to go out into the world and be exposed to toxins, but we allow your body to reset and cleanse those toxins while you're in your own home. So without further ado, we are going to hear from some top experts on the topic of non-toxic living. Let's get right into it. Wet wipes have preservatives. So you're using a dry wipe that you spray the branch basics all purpose on and you can use that on skin.
Exactly. And so y'all, I've done this for three kids. People will say, oh my gosh, it's just one extra step. But I'm telling you, I'm in this industry and it's like, when you know better, you do better. There is no way that you can take a cleaning product and apply it to a substrate, like a cloth, which is what a wet wipe is, and not add a preservative. that is at a certain amount which is a pretty high amount to be honest um because if you don't you'll get mold right and so there's a reason that you don't get mold so if you were to spray range basics on a wet on a dry wipe and leave it there within two to three days there's going to be mold okay so you have to add benzalconium chloride you have to add methyl isothiolosadone they're all these pesticide preservatives
And like I said, even in a very small amount is going to epigenetics shows that they could actually turn on and off genetic expression. And think about the amount of times you're using a wipe. If it was just a once in a while thing, I'd be like, okay, whatever. But this is on a very tender, absorbable area of your child going pretty much straight into the bloodstream, super thin skin multiple times a day. So I use Honest Company Organic. dry wipes, and I literally just spray it with water or a little bit of all-purpose, and my kids have never had a diaper rash or anything like that.
It's insane to me that those ingredients are in kids' products.
I know. Well, and the non-toxic ones.
And it makes sense, though. Like, why would a wipe remain moist and perfect and mold-free? It has to have that preservative. Tell us what's in Branch Basics. Like, how does it work?
