192: The Dirty Truth About Baby Products: Hidden Toxins Parents Should Know About
This episode is sponsored by Naturepedic.
Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on the baby product industry, and trust me, it gets messy. From hidden toxins in crib mattresses to the rise of greenwashing and misleading “eco-friendly” labels, parents are navigating a world that’s more confusing than ever.
To help us make sense of it all, Naturepedic’s Chief Growth Officer, Arin Schultz, is joining me for a real‑talk conversation about what’s actually in the products our babies sleep on, roll on, and breathe in every day. Arin is a dad of four boys, a brilliant (and hilarious) industry insider, and one of my favorite guests to learn from when it comes to organic products.
We’re covering:
The “dirty truth” about conventional baby products
Which certifications actually matter — and which mean nothing
Why crib mattresses are a HUGE deal for your baby’s health
How to avoid greenwashing
What parents on a budget should prioritize
Rapid-fire myth busting (prepare to be shocked!)
What Arin wishes every parent knew before walking into a baby store
If you’ve ever wondered: “What should I really be looking for when shopping for my baby?” — this episode is your new go‑to guide.
