In this insight-packed episode, Nick and I are busting through the myth that tox-free, natural products aren’t as effective as their chemical-laden counterparts — because let me tell you, it’s simply not true! We’ve spent YEARS searching for, trialling, and testing different eco brands to find the products that mean we don’t have to compromise on *anything*: not on our commitment to tox-free living, and definitely not on performance either. And now we’re sharing everything we’ve learned with you. In this conversation you’ll hear our go-to favourites when it comes to everything from tox-free laundry liquid, to outrageously effective skincare creams and serums, through to the tox-free skin and nappy-changing products we love for Baby B.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/419 for the show notes.My newsletter: melissaambrosini.com/newsletterMy instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.

Dr Sam Rader is a practicing psychologist with 18 years of clinical experience. She believes that during the first five years of our lives, our experiences as a child write a ‘source code’ in our unconscious, which then determines the way that the rest of our life unfolds. In this powerful conversation, Dr Sam is teaching us how to rewire that source code, so that we can stop reverting to the coping patterns we picked up in childhood (which are no longer serving us), and instead, intentionally create the psychological foundations for the best version of ourselves to emerge.

When we discovered toxic black mold in our apartment in 2012, we moved out *immediately*. Nick literally exited the building and never went back, while I returned only in a full haz-mat suit in order to pack the few things that hadn’t been infected with toxic spores or that could be properly cleaned. The experience shook us both deeply. Not only did we have to leave our home and many of our belongings behind, but Nick’s health had been severely impacted for nearly a year, and we’d had no idea why. Today, we’re joined by Dr Sandeep Gupta, MD — a specialist GP and founder of the online training program ‘Mold Illness Made Simple’ to do a deep dive into the truth about toxic mold — including how it takes root, where it hides, how it can invade your body, the crazy symptoms that you can develop, and why it’s a silent but impactful illness that’s severely misunderstood.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/411 for the show notes.My newsletter: melissaambrosini.com/newsletterMy instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acas

Today’s podcast guest, Andrea Olson has one solution: Elimination Communication (EC) — a gentle method of pottying your baby from as early as birth by tuning in to their subtle communications.
