In this episode of Wellness Unmasked, Dr. Nicole Saphier breaks down the growing concern surrounding “forever chemicals” — also known as PFAS — and their potential impact on long-term health, especially in children.

A new study tracking children from birth to age 12 reveals a troubling link between PFAS exposure and reduced bone density during critical developmental years. While the research is still emerging, it adds to a growing body of evidence connecting these chemicals to hormonal disruption, fertility issues, cardiovascular disease, and even neurodevelopmental changes.

Dr. Saphier explains where PFAS are found — from drinking water and non-stick cookware to food packaging and household products — and why they’re so difficult to avoid. More importantly, she outlines practical, realistic steps families can take right now to reduce exposure and protect their health.

This is an essential listen for parents, families, and anyone concerned about environmental toxins and their long-term effects.

In this episode:

• What PFAS “forever chemicals” are and why they persist
• The latest research linking PFAS to lower bone density in kids
• How these chemicals impact hormones, growth, and overall health
• Everyday sources of exposure you might not expect
• Simple, actionable ways to reduce your family’s risk
