What if lowering your cancer risk started with the products you put on your skin every day?

Today, I’m joined by Andrea Dahr, a clean living advocate and the founder of Switch Natural. Her journey began during a high-risk twin pregnancy in 2014, when reducing extra health risks felt urgent, so she started swapping to non-toxic cosmetics, cleaning products, and kids products after realizing how unregulated so many of these items are.

You’ll hear why ingredients like talc, fragrance, and aluminum matter, how long-term low-dose exposure can add up, and why kids can be especially vulnerable during key developmental years. We also break down why deodorant and sunscreen deserve closer scrutiny, plus how “clean” labels and even EWG verified claims can still leave people confused.
