# 31 I Wish I Would Have Known: What You’re Breathing, Drinking, and Eating Matters

In this episode of Within, Nicky Wallace is joined by Heidi Buttoph for a powerful “I Wish I Would Have Known” conversation focused on something most of us overlook—our everyday environment. From the air we breathe to the water we drink and the food we consume, Heidi shares how small, often unnoticed factors can have a significant impact on our overall health and wellbeing. What we were taught growing up—low-fat, processed, convenient—may not be serving us the way we once thought. Together, Nicky and Heidi explore how awareness around these daily inputs can shift not only how we feel physically, but how we show up in our lives and leadership. This episode is a reminder that wellbeing isn’t just about big changes—it starts with the small, consistent choices we make every day.
