The FDA is finally banning a few food dyes... but why are we still swallowing chemicals that Europe kicked to the curb over a decade ago? Your protein bar, your salad dressing, even your kid's cereal — they're all hiding ingredients that mess with your brain, hormones, and gut... and you probably have no idea. And here's the kicker: There are over 14,000 food additives approved for use in the U.S. — many of which have never been tested for long-term safety. So yeah, pulling Red 3 is a start… but it barely scratches the surface. As consumers, we've been left to play detective — trying to decode labels, memorize chemical aliases, and guess whether what we're eating is actually safe. So in today's episode, we're breaking it all down. What the FDA's announcement really means, why it's taken so long, and what you can do right now to stop being a food system guinea pig and start taking back control of your plate.

I'm your host, Chef Mareya — chef, nutritionist, mom, food activist, and the creator of Superfood Sprinkle and EatCleaner. And today, we're peeling back the label on something that should be good news… but needs a deeper look. The FDA just announced that artificial colors — like Red 3, Yellow 5, and Blue 1 — are being phased out within the next two years. Yes, they're finally listening to the science, the petitions, and the parents who've been shouting this from the rooftops for decades. And while that's a step in the right direction, here's the truth: it's not enough. Cleaning up our food supply isn't just about removing bright red cereal dye. It's about looking at everything that's slipping into our food system — and what it's doing to our bodies. So in this episode, we're unpacking the Top 10 Food Issues You Should Actually Be Paying Attention To — with real talk, real solutions, and zero guilt. Let's dig in.

The average person spends up to 18 hours in their home. Therefore, our homes are not just places to rest. They're also environments that significantly impact our health and well-being.Spending so much time indoors makes it important to ensure our homes have as minimal harmful chemicals in the environment as possible.

Hey Collectors! On this episode of the Hoardganize Podcast I discuss how to declutter your kitchen of potentially toxic items. Below are some of the utensils and cookware that may contain chemicals that are harmful to you and your family (don't forget your fur kids either).  Utensils & Cookware That May Contain Chemicals 1. Nonstick Cookware (Teflon) Chemical: PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and formerly PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) Risk: At high temperatures (over 500°F), nonstick coatings can break down and release toxic fumes. Tip: Use nonstick only on low/medium heat, avoid scratched pans, or switch to ceramic-coated alternatives. 2. Plastic Utensils & Storage Chemical: BPA, phthalates, and other plasticizers Risk: Heat (like dishwashers or microwaving) can cause plastics to leach these into food. Tip: Use BPA-free plastics, or switch to glass, stainless steel, or silicone. 3. Aluminum Cookware (especially uncoated) Chemical: Aluminum Risk: Acidic foods (like tomato sauce) can cause leaching; long-term exposure to aluminum is under investigation for health impacts. Tip: Use anodized aluminum or switch to stainless steel. 4. Copper Cookware Chemical: Copper Risk: Can leach into food if not lined (usually with stainless steel or tin). Too much copper can be toxic. Tip: Use only lined copper cookware. 5. Melamine Dishes Chemical: Melamine Risk: Can leach into food, especially when microwaved or used with hot foods. Tip: Avoid microwaving melamine and use ceramic/glass for heating. Remember, you can always see our episodes in person, on our youtube channel!

I know we spend a lot of time talking about what to eat but today, I want to talk about how we're cooking and storing that food. Because some of the most common kitchen items like plastic containers and old nonstick pans can quietly mess with our hormones thanks to chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and PFAS. In this episode, I'm walking you through some kitchen swaps I genuinely think are worth making. No overwhelm, no pressure just small changes that can make a real difference over time.

Register for the Annual Cultivate Seeds of Fertility Summit happening April 23-25, 2025.Polyester underwear could be sabotaging your fertility, and most couples trying to conceive have no idea.In this eye-opening episode, I dive into fascinating research dating back to the 1990s that shows a direct connection between polyester underwear and decreased fertility. A prolific surgeon with over a thousand published studies discovered that dogs wearing polyester underwear became infertile, with low sperm motility and other reproductive issues that reversed when the polyester was removed. (Dr. Shafik https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8279095/)Similar studies on human males showed comparable results, even affecting sexual desire and activity.What's particularly interesting is that while these studies initially focused on static electricity from polyester. We now know that chemicals commonly added to polyester fabrics including flame retardants, phthalates, BPA, and PFAS are all known reproductive toxins. This makes the switch to natural fiber underwear even more crucial for anyone concerned about fertility.If you're trying to conceive or planning to in the future, this episode provides practical guidance on finding stylish, comfortable 100% cotton underwear options for both you and your partner. Plus, I invite you to the upcoming Cultivate Seeds of Fertility Summit, where I'll be sharing more insights on eliminating toxins that impact fertility, including a free downloadable checklist to help you create a fertility-friendly environment.In today's episode, we're chatting about: • The scientific evidence linking polyester underwear to decreased fertility • Why chemicals in polyester affect reproductive health and development • How to find stylish, comfortable 100% cotton underwear options • The best natural fiber underwear brands for both women and men • Details about the upcoming Cultivate Seeds of Fertility SummitMentioned in this episode:Toxin Free Faves adsHead over to toxinfreefavorites.com to  shop all the toxin-free goodies that you would find in my home.

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Cozy Earth, and Fatty15. When we think about treating depression, we rarely consider exercise. Yet emerging research shows it can be a powerful tool for managing mild to moderate depression, and it works well alongside other therapies—including medication. Today's guest shares the science behind exercise and explores why more practitioners aren't incorporating it into treatment conversations. Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Nicholas Fabiano to explore the powerful role of exercise in treating depression. Dr. Fabiano introduces the FITT protocol for prescribing exercise and sheds light on the disconnect between physicians and patients when it comes to exercise recommendations. Dhru and Dr. Fabiano also discuss how research funding can shape treatment perspectives, the benefits of combining medication with lifestyle interventions, and the emerging role of creatine in brain energy and its potential impact on depression. Dr. Fabiano emphasizes why exercise is essential for mental health and advocates for a holistic approach to treating depression—one that includes lifestyle pillars like diet and sleep. Nicholas Fabiano is a psychiatry resident and researcher at the University of Ottawa. Drawing from his personal background in weightlifting and competitive soccer, Nicholas developed a strong interest in the use of exercise as a treatment for mental disorders, particularly depression. His research focuses on the intersection of mental and physical health, with a special emphasis on lifestyle psychiatry—exploring how exercise, diet, and sleep influence mental well-being. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Fabiano dive into: Exercise can be as effective as therapy in treating depression (00:27) The importance of finding a provider who exercises and understands its benefits (01:57) The impact of exercise on both the brain and body (04:53) The misperception that all patients want quick fixes (11:11) The side effects of medication and how lifestyle interventions can help counter them (19:18) The FITT protocol and how to prescribe it effectively (23:56) Reframing exercise as an intervention that empowers patients (31:54) Heart rate variability, and why doing what you enjoy matters (31:42) The benefits of stacking exercise with creatine (38:33) How to incorporate creatine into your diet (44:24) Exercise recommendations for beginners, family, and friends (45:02) A lifestyle protocol that can actually induce depression (49:33) Advocating for and educating the public on foundational principles (59:06) An entrepreneurial approach to solving the mental health crisis (01:03:21) How Dr. Fabiano became passionate about brain health (01:05:59) His advice for beginners and how to follow his work (01:11:27) Also mentioned in this episode: John Abramson's book - Sickening Try This: Three Super Crazy Facts about Big Pharma Study on BPA in pregnant women  For more on Dr. Fabiano, follow him on Instagram, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, and his Website.
