Most of us are now spending almost 100% of our time indoors. One of the scariest realities is that the air quality of our homes could actually be more toxic than the air we breath outside. Toxic emissions build up from things that we use on a daily basis like stoves, cleaning products, disinfectants, deodorizers and even scented candles. In addition, plastics such as plastic jugs and individually package waters still contain endocrine disruptors like BPA and phthalates. Women should limit exposure to plastics and other potential hormone disruptors like parabens, bisphenol A and phthalates found in many personal care products. To learn how you can detoxify your home and live more plastic-free, I’ll be chatting with one of my favorite people Cheryl Paswater.

Cheryl is the Chief Fermentationist and CEO of Contraband Ferments as well as a educator, artist, and writer. She has guest co-hosted on the radio show “Fuhmentaboudit!” (on Heritage Food Radio Network), co-organizes the NYC Fermentation Festival, and is a organizer of the NYC Ferments Meetup. She is a contributing writer for Edible Magazine as well as a contributor to the new book "Miso, Tempeh, Natto" and is currently working on her first book on fermentation due out sometime in the near-not so near future. You can find her teaching workshops and at festivals both regionally and internationally. She lives in Brooklyn, NY with her partner, cat named Koji (which means "moldy rice") and all of her cultures as pets (aka: bacteria, yeast, and mold).
