In this episode, we talk about exhaustion by association. The mental load of parenting while constantly reassessing what we think we know. Natasha shares her experience navigating viral induced asthma, why new research has changed her approach to hygiene, and the surprising results of a microplastics study she is participating in. We discuss why reducing exposure matters, how behavior changes can actually move the needle, and why owning mistakes is part of good parenting and good health.
