What you're cooking with matters, too
Hello Reader!
When people think about eating healthier, they usually focus on what's on their plate.
More vegetables.
More protein.
More fiber.
Less processed food.
And while those things absolutely matter, there's another piece of the puzzle that often gets overlooked: What are you cooking your food in?
Over the years, I've become more intentional about the products I bring into my home, especially my kitchen.
I didn't go about it by throwing everything away overnight and spending thousands of dollars on cookware. I did it by making thoughtful decisions when the time came when I had to replace the old with items that were low-tox and will last many, many years.
That's why I compiled my new collection: Low-Tox Cookware That You Deserve
Inside, you'll find many of my favorite kitchen essentials, including:
✔️ Cast iron cookware
✔️ Stainless steel cookware
✔️ Carbon steel pans
✔️ High-quality chef's knives
✔️ Wooden cutting boards
✔️ Dutch ovens
✔️ Kitchen tools built to last
These are the types of products that can help make healthy cooking easier, more enjoyable, and more sustainable for years to come.
Many of these pieces are investments, but they're also items that can often last decades, even generations, when properly cared for.
One thing I've learned from working with patients is that healthy habits become much easier when your environment supports them.
When cooking is enjoyable, convenient, and efficient, you're naturally more likely to prepare nourishing meals at home.
And that's where real long-term health habits are built.
If you've been thinking about upgrading your kitchen, this collection is a great place to start.

If you're just getting started and are overwhelmed, I'd focus on these 4 upgrades:
- A quality Dutch oven
- A stainless steel, cast iron, or carbon steel cookware (there is a learning curve, but it is possible to achieve the non-stick effect similar to teflon pans)
- A sharp chef's knife
- A solid wood cutting board
Those four upgrades alone can completely transform your cooking experience and decrease your exposures to toxins in the kitchen.
Here's to creating a kitchen that supports your health goals for years to come.
To your health,
P.S. Not ready to overhaul your entire kitchen just yet? Start with one item. A quality chef's knife, cast iron skillet, or stainless steel pan can make a bigger difference than you might think, and can last for years.
