Detox Your Dome - The Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

#15 This was one of the most captivating and powerful conversations that we’ve had on this podcast. Alex Monello, founder of The Wellery, completely shifted my perspective on healing, especially when it comes to complex chronic health issues.

What really strikes me about her work is how she approaches healing from chronic illness with so much nuance and compassion. She doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. She talks about bio-individuality, about really listening to your own body, and about trusting that we all carry a well of wisdom within us.

In our conversation, Alex opens up about her own health journey and what it taught her about advocacy in medical spaces, the role of nature in wellness, and what it means to reclaim agency over your health when the system doesn’t always make it easy. She has this beautiful way of reminding us that healing isn’t linear; it’s more like a direction, a line on a map rather than a dot you’re trying to land on.

If you’ve ever felt lost or overwhelmed in your health journey, or if you’ve wondered how to move forward when things don’t feel clear, I think you’ll find a lot of clarity and hope in this episode. I am so excited for you to listen.

#14 Join us for this powerful, deeply informative conversation that goes far beyond surface-level self-care. We're joined by Lindsay Wynn, co-founder of ⁠Momotaro Apotheca⁠, a certified organic, cruelty-free vulvovaginal wellness brand that’s redefining intimate health through clean, plant-based care.

Born from Lindsay’s own journey of navigating chronic infections and ineffective conventional treatments, Momotaro is rooted in a unique fusion of Western clinical research and Traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, and homeopathic medicine. In this episode, we explore how ancient herbal wisdom and modern science can (and should) work together to heal the body without compromising its natural balance.

We dive into:

* Why pH buffering (not just balancing) is key to vulvovaginal health

* The most effective herbs for yeast infections, BV, UTIs and how they work in synergy

* The complexities of getting a homeopathic medicine approved

* What everyone with a vulva should and shouldn’t be doing for long-term intimate wellness

* And the candid questions people are often too embarrassed to ask about lube, douching, cranberry juice, and more

You’ll also hear about Momotaro’s flagship product, the Salve, a potent botanical blend featuring goldenseal, echinacea, tea tree, calendula, jojoba, and kokum butter - crafted to soothe irritation, support the vaginal microbiome, and reduce recurring discomfort without disrupting pH, hormones, or medication.

Whether you're navigating chronic infections, curious about holistic healing, or simply ready to make your self-care smarter and more inclusive - this episode is for you.

#12 Join us as we sit down with Jenny Konopinski from Reel Paper & HoldOn Bags. In this episode we talk about two items that you use at home every single day, though you may not often think about when it comes to non-toxic living: toilet paper and plastic bags.

⁠Reel Paper⁠ is a sustainable and non-toxic toilet paper and paper towel brand that is free from BPA, chlorine bleach, formaldehyde, inks, dyes, fragrances and trees (all ingredients that are scarily in the majority of toilet paper and traditional paper products).

⁠HoldOn Bag⁠s is a brand that makes compostable, plastic-free bags. They have zip seal bags, doggie poop bags and kitchen trash bags.

These two brands have formally merged to provide us with safer, sustainable household essentials that make it easier and more accessible than ever to swap our our traditional paper and plastic products.

We get super granular in this conversation. We talk about:

* the health dangers and environmental impact of traditional paper and plastic products

* how these health dangers impact women more

* home & industrial composting

* how Reel & HoldOn manufacture plastic-free products

* bamboo and how it’s a sustainable alternative

* leading a movement to clean up public spaces

* how these two brands have made it easier than ever for consumers to make these easy, accessible swaps

We know you are going to learn so much and feel empowered to make these swaps.
