E134. Forever Chemicals Detox (Part 6): When Forever Chemicals Hit Home: Senator Judy Seeberger's Personal Fight for Clean Water

Practical Nontoxic Living™ with Sophia Ruan Gushée

Season 2 Forever Chemicals Detox 101 series, Part 6

When "forever chemicals" hit home, change begins.

Minnesota State Senator Judy Seeberger joined the legislature in 2023—and helped pass the nation's strongest ban on PFAS, or "forever chemicals," found in everything from cookware to dental floss. For Senator Seeberger, this issue is deeply personal: her own home's well water is contaminated with PFAS and she's experienced firsthand how PFAS can harm people in her community.

In this inspiring conversation, we talk about how she turned that personal pain into purpose—protecting families across Minnesota and setting a model for other states to follow.

You'll learn:

• How Minnesota became a leader in banning toxic chemicals
• How Senator Seeberger filters PFAS from her home's well water
• PFAS regulation that's possible where you live

This episode is a reminder that real change begins at home—and that hope can be as practical as clean water.
