This episode covers:

  • A study that found a link between a common chemical and kidney disease
  • A recommendation for one of my favorite snack foods
  • A top to bottom review of calcium supplements (whether you need them, what risks they might pose, and what to do for strong bones without a calcium supplement)

How to take action after listening to this episode:

  • Google "the dirty dozen" for a list of veggies and fruits to consider buying organic. Next time you're at the grocery store, pick one and give it a try!
  • Go for a walk, even if it's just for 10 minutes, or do some jumping jacks. This is wonderful for your bone health!
