  • Everything I Know About IC (Interstitial Cystitis) 05.08.2026 36min
    In this episode, Kristen shares her perspective on healing from interstitial cystitis (IC) by exploring the connection between nutrition, gut health, hormone balance, nervous system regulation, detoxification, chiropractic care, and emotional well-being. After receiving a diagnosis that came with a pamphlet on managing symptoms (because IC is labeled an incurable disease), Kristen decided to take matters into her own hands to heal, and 2 years later, was healed from all flares of IC. You'll learn why conventional approaches often focus on symptom relief but practical (and often free!) lifestyle strategies often help reduce inflammation and restore balance. Whether you're newly diagnosed, have been struggling with IC pain for years, or are simply curious about natural approaches to chronic health conditions, this conversation offers hope, education, and actionable insights.Snag a copy of any of the OrganiMama guides 20% off with code PODCAST. Grab an AirDoctor air purifier here - no code needed!Get a copy of The OrganiMama’s Guide to Pregnancy 20% off with code PODCAST. Learn to spot the signs, test with confidence, and create a mold-safe home for your family by taking The OrganiMama’s Guide to Mold.Check out my website with more resources for toxin free living and weekly blog posts for more learning! Follow along on instagram @the.organimama and @theorganimamapodcast for exclusive content and lots of fun!

    In this episode of The OrganiMama Podcast, Kristen sits down with Eric Ritter — the creator behind an affordable, at-home lead testing kit designed to help families protect their homes and their kids.

We touch on the gaps in current regulations, the lack of public awareness, and the long-term impact lead exposure can have on children’s development.This episode is all about empowering families with proactive, practical tools to keep their homes safer.

  • Listen To This Before Getting Botox 27.05.2026 46min
    In this episode of The OrganiMama Podcast, Kristen sits down with Megan McCue to uncover the often-overlooked risks behind one of the most normalized cosmetic procedures today: Botox. What began as a routine injection quickly turned into a life-altering experience when Megan developed iatrogenic botulism — leaving her with debilitating neurological symptoms, difficulty swallowing, intense anxiety, and a long, complicated recovery.As a speech language pathologist, Megan brings both personal experience and clinical insight to this conversation, helping bridge the gap between how Botox is marketed to women and the reality of what can happen when the body reacts negatively. Kristen and Megan also dive into the cultural pressures driving the demand for cosmetic injections, the lack of true informed consent surrounding Botox, and why women deserve far more transparency when it comes to the products and procedures marketed to them. Through her advocacy work, Megan is now helping others recognize symptoms, ask better questions, and prioritize long-term health over quick cosmetic fixes.Find Megan on Instagram @botoxtruths or on her website: www.iatrogenicbotulism.comCheck out Megan’s books:Iatrogenic Botulism 101: A Guide for Doctors, Nurses, and Other Healthcare ProvidersMe Tox PrettyNotoxGrab an AirDoctor air purifier here - no code needed!My favorite personal red light therapy device for every season of life is the Lumebox.

  • Bedsharing, Sleep Training, and Trusting Your Motherly Instincts 04.02.2026 1h 6min
    In this episode of The OrganiMama Podcast, we sit down with co-sleeping educator Tiffany Belanger (@cosleepy) to unpack the real story behind co-sleeping, bed sharing, and why so many parents feel torn between instinct and expectation.
