What Your Water Isn’t Telling You + Why EWG Says It’s CRUCIAL to Fix it FAST! | Maria Menounos x EWG

Hello Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with two major forces behind the Environmental Working Group …aka EWG: Ken Cook, President and Co-Founder, and Jocelyn Lyle, Executive VP of Mission & Partnerships. If you’ve ever wondered what’s really in your products, this is the episode you’ve been waiting for. Maria first learned about EWG from Jenny McCarthy, and it’s been her gold standard in clean and safe ever since. Maria loves the EWG’s Healthy Living App! And FYI Jenny’s makeup line Formless Beauty - is EWG verified too! But today isn’t just about clean mascara or safer lotion… it’s about something far bigger: the hidden toxins in our everyday routines…like drinking water! And Maria just uncovered a surprising truth in hers! But Ken and Jocelyn are here to break down how we can fix it and uncover how dangerous chemicals sneak into personal care and household products. They also share how EWG is helping all of us, from busy parents to conscious consumers make smarter, safer choices without feeling overwhelmed. If you’re stepping into 2026 with a mission to protect your health, clean up your routine, or finally understand what’s actually going on your body (and in your water), this conversation will change how you shop, how you think, and how you care for yourself from head to toe.
We are also doing a giveaway of EWG products on our Instagram (Ends 12/23!)

HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
Legal” does not mean safe : U.S. regulations for cosmetics and water are decades behind scientific research, which means harmful chemicals can be completely legal yet still linked to hormone disruption, fertility issues, cancer risk, and long-term health problems.You must be your own advocate!

Your water likely contains multiple contaminants: Most people have no idea what’s actually in their tap water until they look it up.Between PFAS, agricultural runoff, industrial chemicals, and aging infrastructure, water across the country includes contaminants that treatment systems can’t fully remove. But, the right water filter can significantly reduce your exposure.

Hidden toxins are everywhere, and companies don’t always disclose them: Many products contain unlisted chemicals.Understanding ingredient labels and making cleaner swaps empowers you to protect your health with simple, realistic changes.
