Episode #142 - The Functional Health Perspective on Fireworks

In this week's episode of the Cultivate Calmness Podcast, Kaela explores a side of fireworks that many people have never considered. While most of us recognize the obvious dangers of burns and explosions, far fewer realize that fireworks release heavy metals, airborne particles, and other chemicals that may contribute to our overall toxic load. Through the lens of holistic and functional mental health, Kaela discusses how environmental exposures can influence physical health, inflammation, and ultimately mental well-being. Rather than encouraging fear, this episode offers practical awareness and simple strategies to help reduce unnecessary exposures while still enjoying holiday traditions.
