  • The Price You Don't See (But You're Already Paying)

    The Price You Don't See (But You're Already Paying)
    2026/07/24
    Over the past couple of weeks, in more than a dozen states, people were being told not to breathe the outdoor air due to wildfire smoke. It traces back to a decision made decades ago, one that stripped away the exact thing that would have kept the fires down.That's one price. There's always a second one, and most of us never see it coming until it's already ours to pay.This week, I'm walking through a pattern I keep finding everywhere: in forests, farm fields, our healthcare system, even across the road from my own certified organic farm. I'll take you back to 1996, to a small Massachusetts town and a newspaper headline that changed everything. And fast forward to right now, to a Vermont Facebook group of 16,000 people who found out what was coming, fought back, and won a significant victory.Grab my free guide, 10 Words on Your Food Labels That Are Lying to You: https://www.greenlivingnow.com/food-l...In this episode:What a common weed killer has to do with your drinking waterThe real story behind the wildfire smoke reaching your stateWhy parts of Lake Champlain in Vermont keep closing to swimmersHow two communities, decades apart, changed the rules when nobody else wouldA 1986 law you've probably never heard of, still shaping how companies handle harm#GreenLivingNow #NontoxicLiving #HolisticHealth #SustainableFarming #EnvironmentalHealthMostMost of us are trying to do right by our health — but the food system, the labels, and the "expert" advice keep moving the goalposts.

  • Why Your Electric Bill Went Up the Data Center Nobody Voted For

    Why Your Electric Bill Went Up the Data Center Nobody Voted For
    2026/07/17
    Your electric bill went up this year, but you didn't do anything differently.Somewhere near you, a really large building went up, and you likely never got a real say in whether it belonged there.This week I'm talking with Mitch Jones from Food and Water Watch, a 20-year veteran of climate, energy, and water policy work, about what's actually driving up your power bill, what's happening to water and land in communities where these facilities are being built, and the early health signals researchers are just starting to document.We also get into the greenwashing claims the industry wants you to believe, what "bringing your own power" really means, and exactly what you can do if one of these projects is proposed near you, because communities are stopping them, and you can be part of that.Get the Food and Water Watch "Stop a Data Center" toolkit: foodandwaterwatch.org: https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/202...Grab my free guide, "10 Words on Your Food Labels That Are Lying to You": https://www.greenlivingnow.com/food-l...Get more like this in my newsletter, Notes from the Green Rebellion: https://www.greenlivingnow.com/2f1bd82c0:00 — Intro: why your electric bill actually went up1:56 — Mitch's origin story: the fracking ban he's not supposed to admit he wrote2:39 — The one issue everyone's fighting over, and why it's not the real story3:05 — 60 miles away, and his bill still went up.

  • The Sherlock Holmes of Medicine Solving Cases Everyone Else Gave Up On

    The Sherlock Holmes of Medicine Solving Cases Everyone Else Gave Up On
    2026/07/12
    He's spent 50 years treating the cases other doctors gave up on, and one of his earliest patients was an 8-year-old girl who was about to be put on antipsychotics for something no one could explain.It started with a detail her mother almost dismissed: her daughter took baths with a "mermaid." At eight years old, you assume that's just imagination. It wasn't.In this conversation, Dr. Jess Armine, a former paramedic, ER nurse, and 50-year healthcare provider turned chiropractor, walks through how he traced that little girl's symptoms back to something almost nobody was looking for, and how a young woman having 25 seizures a month got her life back using the same approach.We also get into why your multivitamin might not be doing what you think it's doing, the real hierarchy of supplement absorption, and the comprehensive gut-health protocol steps Dr. Armine says you can't go wrong doing, whether or not you've ever been formally diagnosed with anything.Grab my free guide, "10 Words on Your Food Labels That Are Lying to You", link below.

  • The Ingredient in "Natural" Laundry Pods Nobody's Talking About

    The Ingredient in "Natural" Laundry Pods Nobody's Talking About
    2026/07/02

    If you switched from conventional liquid laundry detergent to natural pods or strips thinking you made a cleaner choice... you might want to look closer at what that dissolvable film is actually made of.


    In this episode, I sit down with the founder of a zero-waste refill store, Janette Spiezio, to get into it, plus her vision for what sustainable living actually looks like.


    We also get into:

    • Why some genuinely organic farms no longer carry the "certified organic" label, and two questions to ask any farmer instead

    • Where your tax dollars meant for small farms are actually ending up (it's not who you'd guess)

    • The trade-offs of eating a Blue Zone-style diet

    • Why we're not paying farmers what their work is actually worth

    • Simple, low-cost swaps that make the biggest dent in your household toxin load


    Check out Janette's store:

    Your Endometriosis Diagnosis Explains the Pain, Not the Cause
    2026/07/02
    She spent years as a fitness and nutrition coach watching women do everything right: clean diet, regular exercise, healthy habits, and still feel terrible. Exhausted. Bloated. Moody. Cycles that hurt. Libido gone. And doctor after doctor telling them it was normal.Then it happened to her.Tierra Duncan, author of The Birth Control Illusion, shares her own journey through endometriosis, a hormonal IUD she struggled to get removed, and a two-year recovery nobody handed her a roadmap for. What she discovered along the way changed everything she thought she knew about women's health.In this episode we get into what your hormones are actually doing beyond fertility, what your menstrual cycle is trying to tell you every single month, which nutrients hormonal birth control quietly depletes, the gut-progesterone connection most women never hear about, and how to walk into a doctor's appointment feeling like you have a seat at the table.This conversation is for women of every age.

  • I Thought Organic Cotton Was Safe Here's What I Found Out

    I Thought Organic Cotton Was Safe Here's What I Found Out
    2026/06/20
    I thought organic cotton was safe...until this interview. I've spent years helping people reduce their toxic load — in their kitchens, their cleaning products, their food. But, what Courtney shared really surprised me.Most of us who are paying attention to what goes in our bodies. But, we don't necessarily pay attention to the clothes we wear. Some of us buy organic cotton. We read labels & we wash before we wear.It turns out that may not be enough.And, if you wear yoga pants, this one is definitely for you.Sustainable fashion expert Courtney Barriger has spent over a decade inside the fashion industry — interviewing scientists, toxicologists, and manufacturers, and getting back the reports most of us never see. What she shares in this episode about what's legally allowed on a certified organic garment, what happens every time you wash synthetic fabrics, and what certain fibers are doing to your hormones will change how you open your closet tomorrow morning.This isn't about making us feel guilty, but it is about information you deserve to have — and practical swaps you can make one step at a time.Guest: Courtney BarrigerSustainable fashion expert, award-winning artist, and author of ReFashion Workshop: The Planet Healing Mindset.
