When we think about reducing toxin exposure in our families, plastics are one of the biggest and most overlooked culprits.
This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re continuing our low-tox living series by unpacking the health risks of everyday plastic products — and more importantly, what you can do about it. We made sure you'll walk away with information as to how hidden chemicals found in plastic containers, toys, personal care products, and even clothing could be impacting your child’s long-term health.
This episode will help you cut through the overwhelm and make realistic, sustainable swaps for a healthier home — starting with just one change a week.
Here's what we cover:
- How BPA and phthalates found in common plastics disrupt hormones, metabolism, and immunity especially in growing kids
- Where these chemicals are hiding in your home including surprising places like receipts, personal care products, and baby food packaging.
- Simple, practical swaps to reduce plastic exposure in your family’s everyday life.
- Why early exposure to these toxins may play a role in the rise of early-onset cancers, as highlighted in the Four Corners report “Generation Cancer”.
🎧 Tune in to feel supported, informed, and empowered as you take small but meaningful steps to reduce your family’s exposure to harmful chemicals in plastics. From lunch boxes to laundry, this episode will inspire you to rethink plastic use in your home with a calm, realistic mindset.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
