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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
