Maura Davies - DNA Testing Your Dogs, Dryer Balls, Shawn Wells - Mighty Mitochondria #951

Dryer Balls

Maura Davies with the SPCA of Texas talks to us about testing your dogs DNA. Doing this can clear up any confusion about what kind of dog you have if it is a mixed breed. Also, it can give you information on the health risks associated with certain breeds.

Stephanie Toups, our consumer advocate and personal care expert, continues on our topic of laundry. Today we talk about the alternative to dryer sheets which are extremely toxic and are loaded with chemicals. Dryer Balls made from wool contain zero harsh chemicals and have so many benefits to your laundry, Heres the truth: your laundry should smell like NOTHING. That's right, nothing. When your laundry has a scent, that actually is a no-no for your body. Stephanie talks all about dryer balls, where you should get them, and how to use them.

Shawn Wells, a registered dietitian and certified sports nutritionist, talks to us about the mighty mitochondria. Yeah, that thing you probably haven't talked about since high school. The reason we talk about the mitochondria is because it is EXTREMELY important for all health aspects of your body. Shawn teaches us how the function of your mitochondria could be affecting your body as a whole, especially your brain.
