Today we're talking about a study published in April that linked the deaths of 356,238 people in ONE year to one very specific thing that you most likely have a good bit of in your kitchen right now.
Join in as we chat about the history of plastic, its rise in consumer products, and the health implications for all of us.
Michelle shares some of her personal journey and struggles, outlining seven actionable steps she is taking right now, after reading this recent study.
But we're keeping it real, and as always this episode emphasizes the importance of awareness and gradual change, in balance with real life.
