Ep 229: The Lie of Clean, What’s Lurking In Your Food and Cosmetics

In this episode of One Dream, Leah and Dr. Nick Wilson unpack the toxic truth behind common household and personal care products, and how they could be silently sabotaging your health, your children’s development, and even your family line for generations to come.

From hormone-disrupting “natural” air fresheners to the overlooked dangers of MSG and synthetic personal care products, they expose how today’s modern conveniences are adding to an invisible burden: your toxic load.

But this isn’t about fear, it’s about freedom through stewardship. You'll learn how to be the gatekeeper of your home, spot hidden toxins, and take manageable steps to reduce exposure without breaking your budget or losing your mind.

• Bioaccumulation and generational impact: Why your grandma's bleach use isn’t a fair comparison

• Protecting your bloodline: The 7-generation effect and why stewardship starts now

• The myth of “safe” doses: Why long-term, low-level exposure adds up fast

• Budget detoxing: Clean 15, Dirty Dozen, and how to prioritize when going all-organic isn’t feasible

• Being the gatekeeper: What it means to protect the “four walls” of your home in a toxic world

• Cosmetic and skincare toxins: Lead, parabens, phthalates, and how even your “natural” sunscreen may be harming you
