Non-Toxic Living

What if the products you use every day to look better are actually making you age faster? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, founder of Queen of the Thrones, to discuss one of the most overlooked sources of toxicity in our lives: our skincare and beauty products. Dr. Marisol shares her journey from beauty pageants to becoming a naturopathic doctor and clean beauty advocate, after realizing how many everyday products were loaded with hidden chemicals that impact long-term health. We dive into the reality of greenwashing in the beauty industry, and how common items like moisturizers, makeup removers, nail products, and fragrances can contribute to hormone disruption, premature aging, and cellular damage. Most importantly, we talk about simple swaps like switching to castor oil, using minimal-ingredient skincare, and paying attention to how your body reacts to products. If you’ve ever questioned what’s really in your beauty products or felt overwhelmed by “clean beauty” marketing, this conversation will provide clarity, confidence, and practical steps you can start today. “The very first beauty influencer was Cleopatra, and she owed her beauty to castor oil." ~ Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, ND Resources: - True Cellular Formulas CytoDetox: Supports Cellular Detox & Natural Toxin Removal - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHYK2F47?linkCode=spc&tag=nontoxicdad-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2 - Think Dirty (Shop Clean Products) - https://www.thinkdirtyapp.com/ - EWG's Skin Deep® database - https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ - Castor Oil Glow Up by Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, ND - https://queenofthethrones.com/products/castor-oil-glow-up Connect with Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, ND: - Website - https://queenofthethrones.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bewellqueen/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad

What if the real thing keeping you unhealthy is the belief that your worth depends on your weight or how you look? In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Lupoli to discuss the obsession with weight loss, one of the most toxic belief systems in modern health culture. We dive into how diet culture, social media, processed foods, and even the pharmaceutical industry have conditioned us to believe our value is tied to a number on a scale and why that mindset is making us sicker, not healthier. Carrie shares her journey through dieting and body image struggles to the wake-up call that changed everything for her. We talk about why most diets fail, the emotional patterns driving unhealthy behaviors, and how blood sugar regulation, self-awareness, and belief systems play a much bigger role in health than calorie restriction ever will. This conversation is about far more than food. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, breaking free from shame and guilt, and learning how to build true health from the inside out. “There should be nothing that's a higher priority than you taking care of your health, because then you could be a better parent, you can be a better employee or business owner, and you can show up for people in your community better." ~ Carrie Lupoli Resources Mentioned: Join the waiting list for Carrie’s upcoming book, From Corset to Crown!

What if the reason you feel tired, anxious, or chronically sick isn’t your body failing but the air inside your home? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John Kim to unpack one of the most overlooked toxins affecting families today. Join us as we share our personal experiences as mold survivors and dive into how something as simple as humidity and drywall can create an environment that leads to chronic illness, brain fog, anxiety, and even hormonal and fertility issues.We break down how the release of mycotoxins acts like “biological warfare” on your cells, triggering immune dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and a cascade of symptoms that many people misdiagnose or overlook.

If you’re doing “everything right” but still feel exhausted, foggy, anxious, or chronically unwell, your home may be the culprit. In this episode, I interview Dr. Peter Osborne to discuss one of the most misunderstood causes of chronic illness today: mold exposure inside the home. Mold isn’t just an allergy issue–it’s a powerful neurotoxin that can disrupt your brain, immune system, hormones, and emotional health without you realizing what’s happening.Dr. Peter shares his personal story of living in a mold-contaminated home and watching it slowly destroy his family’s health. We talk about why mold illness is so hard to diagnose, how it mimics anxiety, depression, autoimmune disease, and cognitive decline, and why even brand-new homes are not immune.We also break down the biggest mistakes people make when testing for mold, why air tests often miss the problem, and which areas of the home are most likely to hide dangerous water-damage mold. Most importantly, Dr. Peter offers hope, explaining how removing exposure and addressing detox can lead to dramatic recovery.If you’ve felt stuck, dismissed, or confused about your health, this episode may finally connect the dots. Your home should be a place of healing, not the source of illness. “Don't be scared to take naps. Don't be scared to sleep longer–ten plus hours a night of sleep is one of the quickest ways to recover. Sleep is critical for healing."~ Dr. Peter OsborneConnect with Dr. Peter Osborne:Origins Wellness Website - https://origins-wellness.com/ Mold Jacked Website - https://moldjacked.com/author/Connect with Warren Phillips:Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/ Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdadTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad
