In this episode, Dr. Robert Whitfield speaks with Kate Middleton, better known as KB, a toxic-free lifestyle advisor and host of Toxic Free with KB. Her personal experience with autoimmune issues, mold exposure, and stress-related burnout shaped her commitment to helping others reduce toxic load and live more intentionally.

Dr. Whitfield and KB discuss the mental strain of toxic perfectionism, the overlooked impact of decision fatigue, and how choosing simplicity can support long-term balance. They explore the role of intuition in wellness decisions, how kb reframed toxic relationships, and why incremental progress often matters more than drastic change.

KB also shares her lived experience with Raynaud’s and offers practical strategies for managing daily exposures through small, actionable habits.

This conversation is a grounded reminder that reducing toxins is not about perfection. It is about saying no, tuning in, and making sustainable, informed choices.

"You don’t have to overhaul everything at once. It’s about small shifts that make sense for your life." - KB
