That's what Alden Wicker and I are discussing today. Alden is an expert in sustainable fashion and the author of To Dye For. She is passionate about exposing the toxic chemicals that are often hidden in clothing and textiles, and how they impact our health, the environment, and society. Alden dives into the dark side of the textile industry to reveal how even our \"organic\" clothing could be contaminated with harmful chemicals like phthalates and formaldehyde. She explains how such chemicals interact with our skin and how they can cause a range of health problems from autoimmune diseases to hormone disruption. We also discuss the lack of transparency in the fashion industry and how we can make more informed choices when it comes to clothing. Using personal anecdotes and real-world case studies, Alden shows us why it’s crucial to rethink the fabrics we wear every day. She also offers simple tips for reducing our exposure to toxic textiles, so if you care about what you wear and how it impacts your health, this episode is for you. “It's not good for our bodies to wrap them in plastic. Our bodies want to have natural materials on them.\" ~ Alden Wicker Resources Mentioned: - To Dye For by Alden Wicker - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593422619 - AIZOME Organic Textiles - https://aizome-textiles.com/ - EcoCult Recos: Non-Toxic Brands for Chemically Sensitive People - https://ecocult.substack.com/p/ecocult-recos-non-toxic-brands-for Connect with Alden Wicker: - Website - https://ecocult.substack.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/   - Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/   - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tikt…","meta_description":"Did you know the clothes you wear could be poisoning your body?
