🌟 Episode Summary

In this episode of Healthy Habits for a Healthier Home, Robin shares three powerful kitchen swaps that support your family’s health and wellness journey. Our kitchens are the heartbeat of our homes—and sometimes small changes here can have the biggest impact.

Robin dives into the hidden dangers of plastic, nonstick cookware like Teflon, and the truth about water quality and fluoride in your tap. You’ll learn why making mindful swaps—like switching to cast iron cookware, glass storage containers, and a toxin-free water filter—can dramatically shift your health.

She also shares her personal story of advocating for cleaner water in her community, how her kids grew up fluoride-free and cavity-free, and why our oral health starts long before brushing.

Whether you’re just getting started or deep in your clean living journey, this episode is full of simple, doable habits to help you create a kitchen—and life—you feel good about.
