300: I’m joined by Jane Emma to talk about something that impacts every single one of us every day: water. We break down what’s actually in our tap water, the difference between filtered and purified water, and why contaminants like chlorine, PFAS, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics are becoming a growing concern. We also talk about reverse osmosis, remineralization, structured water, shower filters, aging pipes, and how to choose a water filtration system that actually works. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to figure out what water is safest to drink, this episode is packed with practical information to help you better understand the water you’re consuming, cooking with, and bathing in every day.
