158 | What Touches Your Skin 24/7? Toxic Chemicals in Clothing, Bedding & Indoor Air (Part 1)

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of toxic chemicals in clothing, bedding, and indoor air on health and offers practical advice for making safer choices.

In this episode, I break down the textile layer of your life: clothing, bedding, rugs, and how fabric choices and treatments can affect both skin contact and indoor air quality. You’ll walk away with a simple way to prioritize what to address first—without overhauling your wardrobe or your home—so you can make smarter choices moving forward. 🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 Hey health-conscious friend—quick question: when was the last time you looked at a fabric label the way you look at an ingredient label?
