In this episode, Dr. Vonda Wright reconnects with Dr. Manasa Mantravadi—a board-certified pediatrician, Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist, and founder of Ahimsa, the stainless steel dinnerware line engineered to reduce children’s exposure to plastic and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Dr. Mantravadi unpacks her medical journey and how she translated concern over additives in everyday foodware into a mission-driven company designed for health, aesthetics, and safety.
Together, they explore the science behind microplastics and hormone-mimicking additives that silently infiltrate our food, disrupt insulin, fat cell signaling, and child neurodevelopment, and contribute to rising metabolic and cancer risks. Dr. Mantravadi shares concrete strategies for parents, caregivers, and institutions—kitchen swaps, school lunch reform, policy advocacy—that can shift the balance from exposure to protection. You’ll finish this episode empowered with small but cumulative changes to defend children’s health, one mealtime at a time.
