When it comes to reducing toxins in our homes, some of the biggest threats are the ones we can’t see.
This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we’re wrapping up our low-tox living series with an episode that’s essential for every modern household: a deep but practical look at PFAS chemicals — often called “forever chemicals” for good reason. These invisible toxins are used in everything from non-stick cookware to school uniforms, food packaging to mascara… and they don't just disappear. They linger in our homes, our water, and even our bodies.
In this episode, we unpack how PFAS exposure builds up over time, why it’s especially concerning for kids and pregnant women, and how to start making sustainable changes that actually feel doable. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by toxin talk, this conversation will help ground and guide you.
Here's what we cover:
- What PFAS are and why they’re known as “forever chemicals”.
- Where these toxins show up in everyday life from pans to prams to personal care.
- How PFAS exposure may impact immunity, hormones, and long-term health especially in children.
- Gentle but effective steps to reduce your family’s toxic load, one swap at a time.
🎧 Tune in to feel informed, supported, and empowered to make safer, low-tox choices that ripple into long-term wellbeing for your family.

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.
