Finding Frequency: Spaces Where People Feel Good

In this eye-opening episode, Peter sits down with water expert and product innovator Shashank Varma to explore a foundational yet often overlooked pillar of wellness: water quality. From his early days leading Kohler's water filtration business to his current mission as founder of Viven, Shashank shares the personal journey that opened his eyes to the invisible threats in our drinking water and what that means for our health.

You'll learn:

• Why U.S. tap water might not be as safe as you think

• What PFAS, lead, and microplastics are doing to your body, especially when it comes to fertility, brain health, and long-term illness

• How aging infrastructure and outdated standards contribute to the problem

• The psychology behind why people ignore water quality and how to shift that mindset

Whether you're a wellness enthusiast, a homeowner, or just curious about what's in your faucet, this conversation reframes water as more than a utility, it's a wellness input.

Tune in to Part 1 now, and get ready to rethink everything you know about hydration.
