Recently, I was a guest on Leslie Reichert's podcast series Clean Green Talk. We talked about a less well-known pollution in our homes: electromagnetic fields (EMFs). EMFs are generated from our appliances, wifi devices, and more.

In this episode, key topics discuss are below.

• Why are EMFs considered a type of air pollution, and how can they affect our health?
• How are we exposed to EMFs in the home?
• What inspired me to learn about EMF pollution in the home
• Health benefits I...

Chanting om has become an effective way to release stress, center my mind, and soothe my children to sleep.

As a mother of three young kids, I experience the bedtime routine mostly as a battle. Starting at 5pm, the battle begins: I battle with my children to wash their hands before eating dinner, to eat dinner, to not dance on the furniture while eating, to take a bath, to brush their teeth, to get dressed after bath, to pick their bedtime stories, and to keep their heads on their...

• Begin these habits early.  Even before the teeth have erupted, you can begin to accustom your baby to the brushing routine by massaging her gums with your finger, a wet washcloth, or gauze.  Alternatively, you can use a soft rubber tip that fits on the end of an adult finger.  These can help with the discomfort associated with teething and stimulates blood flow in the gums.  Once teeth have erupted, continue massaging the gums as well as gentle cleaning of the teeth, by...

This is great for when the baby's neck can support its own head.  I think I started using it once my daughter was at least 6 months old.  The seat very comfortably enabled my daughter to sit up, when she could not sit up by herself.  We eventually received a tray that snaps onto the seat, which was great during meal time.  The Bumbo Babysitter can be purchased by clicking on the image below, and it can also be found in The Store.  My daughter loved it and I...

The health trends among children and adults are alarming. Sophia Ruan Gushee, author of A to Z of D-Toxing, wants more people to consider the role of environmental factors that we can control: toxic exposures from what we buy.

I grew up during the 1970s and 1980s in upstate New York—in Binghamton, a city of about 200,000 residents at the time. I attended various schools that were diverse: a Jewish nursery school with approximately 15 to 20 children per class; a public...

In this episode of A to Z of D-Toxing: The Podcast, Sophia sits down with Kristen Rannala, mother of 3 & founder of Organique-- a cutting-edge, completely organic mattress company based out of California.
