“Clear Protein In A Can,” Payment Plans For Pizza, + Milk That Stays Good For A Year?! | James Li

318: Today's taboo topic involves wiping our butts. I'm just gonna say it to get it out of the way - but it's something we all do and for many, we do it at least once a day. And if you're female, we are wiping more than just our rear ends! That's why I invited Lee Reitelman to join me in today's episode. I recently switched over to a non-toxic toilet paper and fell in love with it so I had to personally invite the CEO and founder to talk about the negative effects conventional toilet paper has on the human body. You may be listening and asking, "what's wrong with toilet paper?" - but what many fail to realize is that several on the market contain formaldehyde, bleach, PEG 40, and forever chemicals. These ingredients in toilet paper are touching our most sensitive areas regularly on the daily, causing health issues we may not realize until years later. In this interview, we talk about bidets and some personal experiences we've had with them and why they may not be for everyone, the environmental aspect of tree based toilet paper, and how toilet paper is actually made and all the steps it takes to make a roll. After this episode you'll think twice about your TP!  Topics Discussed: → Formaldehyde in toilet paper → How conventional toilet paper is made → What is considered “conventional” TP? → Ingredients in conventional toilet paper → Regulations around listing ingredients in TP → Bidets - They’re NOT for everyone!  → Bamboo TP v Tree TP → The environmental aspect of conventional TP → Misconceptions around non-toxic TP As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

316: If you love nut butter and have ever wondered what really goes into getting your favorite products onto grocery store shelves, this episode’s for you. My friend Jaime Foster, CEO and founder of Georgia Grinders Nut Butter, joins me in today’s conversation as we discuss the brutal truth behind what it actually takes to get your product into stores—and why it’s actually healthier to purchase directly from a company. We talk about the middlemen (yes, plural), the questionable ways grocery stores store your food behind the scenes, the costs involved in getting your product on the shelf, and what these major store chains really charge to sell a product. Of course, we also get into all things nut butter—from the source of the nut, to why they grind their own nuts from whole vs. pre-chopped nuts, oxidation, and so much more.
