  1. From Toxic Textiles to a New Standard in Plant-Dyed, Medical-Grade Fabrics

    From Toxic Textiles to a New Standard in Plant-Dyed, Medical-Grade Fabrics

    #18 In this episode I sit down with Michel May, founder of Aizome, to unpack the hidden world of textile chemicals, from synthetic dyes to the lack of meaningful regulation in the fabrics we wear and sleep on every day. We explore the history of textile dyeing, how the industry shifted from natural plant dyes to petrochemical-based synthetics, and why modern supply chains make transparency nearly impossible. Michel also breaks down the environmental and human health implications of conventional textile manufacturing, including the persistence of toxic dyes in waterways, the limitations of certifications like GOTS and OEKO-TEX, and why regulation around textile safety remains weak and fragmented globally. We also discuss the growing connection between textiles and human health, including skin irritation, eczema, autoimmune concerns, and the broader issue of chronic chemical exposure through clothing and bedding. Michael shares practical ways consumers can reduce exposure today, while explaining how misleading labeling and opaque sourcing continue to obscure what textiles are actually made with. Finally, we dive into Aizome’s groundbreaking work developing 100% plant-dyed, colorfast, FDA-classified medical-grade fabrics using innovative ultrasound technology. Michel explains the science behind their antimicrobial textiles, the significance of truly plant-based dyes, and why he believes the future of textiles must move beyond “less bad” toward biocompatible, biodegradable, and genuinely safe materials. This conversation is both a deep dive into the problems within the textile industry and an optimistic look at what a healthier future could look like.

  2. Functional Mushrooms: Decoded

    Functional Mushrooms: Decoded

    #17 If you’ve ever wondered whether your functional mushrooms are actually doing anything… this episode is for you. I sat down with Brandi and Desiree of Eversio Wellness to break down what really matters when it comes to mushroom quality, sourcing, and effectiveness — beyond the marketing. We get into the science-backed differences between fruiting body and mycelium, how to read a mushroom label, and why “pixie dusting” is more common than you think. They also walk through the key benefits of the 8 functional mushrooms they work with, how adaptogens actually function in the body, and what it means to use clinical or therapeutic doses. Beyond the science, Brandi shares her personal journey from second grade teacher to navigating an autoimmune diagnosis — and how that path led her deep into the world of functional mushrooms. We also explore the bigger picture: the lack of regulation in the U.S. compared to Canada, the importance of transparency in the wellness space, and how to navigate an increasingly crowded (and confusing) mushroom market as a conscious consumer. This episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and better equipped to choose products that truly support your health.

  4. Using the Well Within You To Heal: Bio-Individuality, Balance & Agency With Alex Monello

    Using the Well Within You To Heal: Bio-Individuality, Balance & Agency With Alex Monello

    #15 This was one of the most captivating and powerful conversations that we’ve had on this podcast. Alex Monello, founder of The Wellery, completely shifted my perspective on healing, especially when it comes to complex chronic health issues. What really strikes me about her work is how she approaches healing from chronic illness with so much nuance and compassion. She doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. She talks about bio-individuality, about really listening to your own body, and about trusting that we all carry a well of wisdom within us. In our conversation, Alex opens up about her own health journey and what it taught her about advocacy in medical spaces, the role of nature in wellness, and what it means to reclaim agency over your health when the system doesn’t always make it easy. She has this beautiful way of reminding us that healing isn’t linear; it’s more like a direction, a line on a map rather than a dot you’re trying to land on. If you’ve ever felt lost or overwhelmed in your health journey, or if you’ve wondered how to move forward when things don’t feel clear, I think you’ll find a lot of clarity and hope in this episode. I am so excited for you to listen. This podcast is brought to you by Primally Pure 10% off code: detoxyourdome This is a public episode.
