In this powerful episode, I sit down with Whitney and Brandon, the creators of the documentary To Dye For the documentary, to talk about the hidden dangers of synthetic food dyes and how they impact our children's health. This heartfelt conversation dives into their personal journey of uncovering the connection between their child's behavioral issues and synthetic dyes, and the incredible transformation they experienced after making dietary changes.

We explore the bigger picture, including the importance of community support, the role of education in raising awareness about food ingredients, and how advocacy can spark much-needed policy changes to protect vulnerable populations. You’ll also walk away with practical steps to eliminate synthetic dyes from your family's diet and tools to help you become more mindful about what’s in your food. Takeaways
