Customer Reviews
Healthy choices for families
Even though I’m a dad, not a mom, I’ve followed Yasmine for years. She is truly dedicated to sharing honest, factual, and well-researched information with other families.
Yasmine consistently goes above and beyond to deliver the goods.
The Non-Toxic Mommy podcast is our family’s new go-to source for healthy living tips! Highly recommended.
Yesss! So good!
Sooo smart & helpful! Can’t wait for more episodes!!
My new favorite pod!
I’m so glad I found this podcast. After a year of fertility issues I decided to make some changes. I already have a fairly healthy lifestyle but I feel totally overwhelmed with the idea of removing toxins from my food, house, etc. I love how in the first episode Yasmine said you DON’T have to do everything at once - it makes this journey feel much more achievable.
