Hi! Green Living Expert/Mentor, Podcast Host & Organic Farmer,Amy Todisco, here.

Hi Reader, In a world that often feels overwhelmed by crisis, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s working — the people, practices, and wisdom that are quietly (and powerfully) healing our planet. That’s why I’m especially excited to share this week’s Green Living Now Podcast episode with Cindy Olson, founder of the Natural Health Collaborative — a woman who was raised with rare earth-based wisdom and is now helping others remember what we’ve forgotten. 🌍She grew food in a NYC basement...

Hi Reader, Whether or not you're pregnant—or even thinking about it—what I’m about to share could shift how you see the everyday products, foods, and routines in your life. Over 30 years ago, when I was pregnant with my daughter, I thought I was doing everything “right.” Shopping at health food stores, eating clean, buying “natural” products. Then I stumbled on a book called The Non-Toxic Baby… and it opened my eyes. What I learned then—and what science is confirming now—is that the everyday...

Hi Reader, You do your best to eat clean. But did you know that even organic fruits and vegetables may not be as nutritious or pure as you think? Let’s break it down: Most supermarket produce travels 1,500+ miles to reach the store.Even U.S.-grown produce is often 7–10 days old by the time it gets to your plate.Imported produce? It can be 2–4 weeks old—by then, many of the water-soluble nutrients (like vitamin C) are already fading fast. And now there's a new concern—post-harvest coatings...

Hi Reader, What if the most toxic thing in your life isn’t in your food… or your home…but in your mind? That’s the raw truth behind this week’s Green Living Now podcast guest: Morry Zelcovitch, the creator of The Morry Method™. Morry’s story shook me. For nearly 40 years, he lived with a level of mental torment most of us can’t imagine — waking up each morning, hoping to see mushroom clouds outside his window… just so the day would be over before it began. “I used to say: ‘Life is a disease...

Hi Reader, Why Recalls Are Spiking—and What You Can Do About It Over the past year or two, if you're like me, you may have noticed a disturbing trend: more food recalls, more people getting sick, and more weird contaminants—wood, plastic, even metal—in our food. You’re not imagining it. In 2024 alone, foodborne illnesses sent nearly 500 people to the hospital—double the number from the year before. And while recalls remained steady in number, their severity and scale have increased...

If you've driven through rural areas in spring or early summer—especially near large-scale agricultural operations—you may have noticed it: fields glowing orange or yellow in stark contrast to the vibrant greens around them. To the untrained eye, it might look like drought damage or poor soil. But for those of us who farm—and especially those who farm organically—we know exactly what it is: glyphosate at work. What’s striking lately isn’t just the color of the land. It’s that people are...

Hi Reader, I’ve been living and teaching toxin-free, sustainable living for decades.But what happens when the blocks you’re facing aren’t physical—they’re emotional, energetic, and invisible? This week on the Green Living Now podcast, I sat down with Dr. Louise Swartswalter, a naturopathic doctor and brain-soul healer who’s no stranger to chronic illness, trauma, and deep transformation. Her story begins with pesticide exposure and mercury fillings… but what she discovered along the way is...

HiReader, A few months ago, I was invited to speak at a major food industry conference — a high-profile event where scientists and corporate leaders help shape how ingredients are evaluated, regulated, and marketed. I was asked to bring a perspective that’s too often missing in those rooms: the voice of the informed consumer. At first, I was hopeful. But after one planning call yesterday, I made the decision to step away. What I Heard on That Call The other keynote panelists, while...

Censored. Then Reinstated. Why Carrie’s Healing Story Struck a Nerve. Hi Reader, What happens when someone shares a true story about healing outside the medical mainstream? Sometimes… it gets taken down. Last night, I released a deeply personal episode of the Green Living Now Podcast with Carrie De Grandmont, a childhood cancer survivor and passionate advocate for toxin-free, holistic living. In it, she shared: Her cancer journey and why she turned to organic food and clean living How her...
