Baby Milestones, Tummy Time & The Truth About Baby Gear

Floss Smarter: Ingredients to Avoid + Better Brands

Turns out, not all floss is created equal—and some of it might be coated in more than just mint. We break down what ingredients to look out for on the label, especially when it comes to coatings that may contain PFAS—also known as "forever chemicals"—which have been linked to a range of health concerns. Yep, even your floss can be part of the low-tox living conversation. We’ll also talk about safer floss options, what to look for when shopping, and some of the brands we love that prioritize both oral health and overall wellness.

Should You Rethink Your Mouthwash?

In this episode of The Well Being, we’re talking all about… mouthwash. Yep, that minty-fresh rinse might be doing more than you think!

We also chat about why these types of mouthwashes should really only be used short-term and for specific reasons, ideally with guidance from your dentist. Plus, we share some healthier, everyday options and a few mouthwash brands we actually like.
