Forever Chemicals, Tap Water Toxins, and the Truth About Clean Hydration with Helen Christoni

In today’s episode of Beautifully Broken, I chat with water advocate Helen Christoni about what’s really flowing through American pipes—and how easy it can be to switch from suspicion to solution. Together we unpack the toxin-laden cocktail in most tap water (think microplastics, PFAS, arsenic, chlorine, chloramines, lead, drug residue), and explore how municipalities manage—but don’t eliminate—contamination.

Helen explains the difference between pitcher filters, sink/fridge filters, reverse osmosis, distillers, and full home systems—emphasizing NSF certifications, tank maintenance, remineralization, and how you can both detox and hydrate safely. We also dive into the brand‑new AquaTrue shower filter, because what you absorb on your skin matters as much as what you drink.

If clarity, energy, beauty, or toile health are your goals, this episode arms you with actionable, science‑based tools to upgrade your water—and protect your cells at the source.
