As a modern mom wrapping up the 12 Holiday Rituals with a $5,500 wellness giveaway, I’m sharing why your pots and pans might be one of the biggest hidden threats to your hormones, fertility, and long-term vitality – and why I trust non-toxic ceramic cookware like Caraway (code: INF-BRITTANY) in my own kitchen.
From “forever chemicals” in Teflon to microplastics in coffee lids and clothes, this episode is a gentle wake-up call to rethink the tools you cook with every day, especially if you’re trying to conceive, are pregnant, postpartum, or raising little ones. We talk about intuitive longevity, slow swaps, and how to build a beautiful, low-tox kitchen without blowing your budget overnight.
