Is it possible to eat your way to a better mood? Can foods really impact how the brain makes you think and feel? The “Happy Eating Podcast” was created after we couldn’t find the information that we needed for ourselves and our families. Join us as we break down the connection between food and mental wellness as we explore how food, diet, supplements, and daily habits can make for truly Happy Eating.

Thursday Feb 20, 2025
You’ve likely heard about the dangers in some of your cookware and you may have even changed out a few for nontoxic pieces. But did you know there are other risky items you might want to swap out, too? Turns out, your kitchen is a major source of microplastics—food storage containers, of course, but also cooking utensils, sandwich bags, even certain sponges. In today’s episode, we’re talking about where those microplastics lurk, what the health effects of microplastics are, and how you can reduce your exposure with some simple swaps.
Studies Referenced Include:
Beyond the food on your plate: Investigating sources of microplastic contamination in home kitchens.
A systematic review of microplastics emissions in kitchens: Understanding the links with diseases in daily life
