This week on the show I spoke with a Naturopath, Aurore Adamkiewicz who shared that Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs (CFLs) may not be as great as we think.
She discusses some research into CFLs that might give you pause before using them in your home, as well as another eco friendly alternative to incandescent bulbs.

Have you heard about the controversy surrounding BPA? Bisphenol A is an additive used in plastics. The concern with BPA is that it’s a hormone mimic and endocrine disruptor.
This is disturbing to parents - but the challenge is finding BPA products in the marketplace. They do exist, but they’re not always easy to find. My guest this week has come up with a wonderful service that makes it very convenient for parents to locate BPA products while they’re out shopping!
This week Carrie interviewed a mom of 4 who is also an M.D. and an expert on preventing cancer.
In her book “Avoiding Cancer One Day at a Time“, Lynne Eldridge encourages women to think about all the many choices they make everyday.
She offers many practical - sometimes easy to do - tips to lower your cancer risk. According to the research, 85% of cancer is environmental, meaning we can do something about it!
Carrie’s guest this week is Gary Hillery of the Green Path Company. Gary designs eco - inspired T shirts to help spread awareness of environmental issues. Gary is also involved in his community by volunteering his time to clean up nature and hiking trails.
Get some of Gary’s awesome tips for making green changes in your own life without getting overwhelmed.
This week on Natural Moms Talk Radio, we’re joined by Kathy Cozonac of Broomhuggers. Broomhuggers is an Atlanta, GA cleaning service that uses only natural and non toxic cleaning products.
Kathy shares some of her tips for using these types of products, and even makes some product recommendations.
This week on Natural Moms Talk Radio, Monica Salazar of Familia Libre again joins us to talk about how she is able to be “fridge free” by using a pot-in-pot.
Pot-in-pot is a refrigeration system that keeps food cool with a simple evaporation process.
It’s a technology that has been used since ancient Egypt but was brought back into popularity by a Nigerian man who is teaching his fellow countrymen to use it - with incredible benefits to their health and local economy.
Pot-in-pot would also be of interest to families who want to reduce their utility bills or rely less on petroleum derived energy.
This week on the show I am joined by Cheryl Wenzel of New Mom Central. Cheryl aims to provide support and information to new moms to help them ease the transition to new motherhood.Often, there is a big disconnect between what a woman envisions and what her postpartum experience is actually like. This can lead to feelings of surprise and let down. Cheryl shares her own personal experiences during the early months - as a mother of twins no less! - and shares some valuable advice to help women prepare as best as they can for becoming a mom.
We also discussed the many facets of postpartum depression and how pregnant moms can take steps now to have a healthier entry into motherhood.
Mom’s groups are becoming more popular and they can help new moms connect and get out of the house, but there is also a danger that Cheryl refers to as “culture of motherhood” in which moms are scared to be honest about their struggles.
This week we are joined by Monica Salazar of Familia Libre. Monica is an Urban Geographer from Quito, Ecuador. She is a natural parenting advocate and mother of a 3 year old son.
On the show, Monica shares the benefits of avoiding age-spatial segregation. By wearing our babies and letting our young children accompany us as we interact through life, we can teach them how to behave appropriately in our culture and they gain important social skills.
She also relates the dangers of segregation and points to the abuse suffered by children at the hands of their parents as well as the behavior of many teenagers as evidence of this. Integrating children and older people leads to more understanding, empathy and respect. It also gives others an opportunity to observe good parenting in action, which has obvious benefits for the younger generation.
This week we are joined by Lina Baker.Linda is co-author of Detox Bath, a book that explains a simple bathing practice that can affect some remarkable health improvements.
The Detox Bath is based on hydrotherapy, an ancient healing discipline. Water has far more benefits that just for drinking. The Detox Bath is simple and requires 10-15 a day but isn’t a quick fix or magic bullet.
A body that eliminates waste and toxins well can encourage weight loss. Some of the problems that the Detox Bath has helped include back pain, weight issues, incontinence and menstrual difficulties.

This week we are joined by Erica Johns. Erica, aka SuperMom, is a homeschooling Mom of 6 who shares tips on healthier living on her site and with ebooks and her online classes. She is sharing wisdom on making simple changes to your eating habits.
