Dear reader,

Microplastics in your coffee. Flame retardants in your spatulas. Lead in your water. Chlorpyrifos in your burger. PFAS in seemingly every direction you turn.

Your dinner looks and smells delicious, but there might be unseen guests: toxic chemicals that can stow away in food at almost any step from the farm to your plate.

You’ve likely heard about some of these issues and thought about taking action, but navigating all the options, marketing, and misinformation can feel daunting.

But it doesn’t have to be. We’ve examined your diet and kitchen and created a seven-week course with easy tips for detoxing in 2025 - click here to subscribe.

I’ve written about toxic chemicals for seven years, during which time I’ve thoroughly detoxed my own kitchen. Each week of this course reveals where chemicals are hiding in your food or kitchen. It cuts through greenwashing, avoids pitfalls, and provides simple advice for detoxing your diet.

We really hope you find it useful.
