Hello Fascinating Ladies. This week’s podcast is another installment as me as a guest on Lauren Gabrielle Foster‘s weekly live show on her publication Every Day Magic.

I am taking this opportunity to say 👋 hello and thank you to the following new subscribers and welcome:

In this eye-opening episode of Every Day Magic, I am a guest on Lauren Gabrielle Foster’s Every Day Magic exploring the real truth behind the “organic” label. We go beyond the marketing buzzwords to uncover what organic actually means, how to decode produce labels, and the deeper impact our food choices have on our health, energy, and even emotional well-being.

Lauren kicks things off with a simple yet powerful breathwork and mindfulness practice that grounds us in the present moment, because consciousness in our bodies extends to consciousness in our kitchens. From there, we dive into why choosing organic food isn’t just about avoiding pesticides, but about supporting your body at a cellular level.

Together, Lauren and I discuss everything from the nutrient density of regeneratively farmed produce to the greenwashing happening in our supermarkets. You’ll learn what to look for on produce stickers, how pesticides impact the soil microbiome and our gut health, and why the apple with a spot may just be the healthiest one on the shelf.

We also talk about why the “peel it and you’re fine” mindset doesn’t actually protect you from toxins, how glyphosate has even affected beer fermentation, and why supporting small, local, regenerative farms can be one of the most powerful forms of activism for your health and the planet.

You’ll walk away from this episode empowered to make smarter, more conscious choices without needing to overhaul your whole kitchen overnight. Small steps, better questions, and vibrant, nutrient-rich food that actually feels good in your body. That’s the everyday magic we’re here for.
