This week we interview the leading expert in water filtration. Nathan from Water Techniques. In the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, few factors are as important as maintaining proper hydration. Water plays a pivotal role in digesting food, eliminating waste, and supporting the optimal functioning of every cell in our bodies. Additionally, adequate hydration contributes to the regulation of blood pressure and supports a well-functioning lymphatic system. Nevertheless, it's important to recognize that not all water is of equal quality. To ensure that we consume clean water enriched with essential minerals, it is often necessary to invest in a reliable water filter. https://www.watertechniques.com

Welcome to "When Millennials Become Moms," covering all aspects of parenting, pregnancy, postpartum care, nutrition, and non-toxic living. Dr. Natasha Beck, also known as Dr. Organic Mommy, is a public health and parenting expert. She founded Dr. Organic Mommy to assist every parent in making healthy decisions for themselves and their families. During her early career in clinics, she observed the significant impact of diet on children's health. Her determination grew when her first child was hospitalized for 29 days, fueling her frustration with marketing schemes and the lack of regulation and transparency in the consumer product industry. Implementing non-toxic changes in her life, she began educating others about her journey. She continues her research and exploration with "When Millennials Become Moms." Along with her co-host and Dr. Organic Mommy co-founder Emily Raiber, they engage with leading experts, share personal struggles, and navigate the vast amount of information available. They aim to simplify the complexities of modern motherhood, which is very different from the era when baby boomers were raising children.
