Josephine Musco looked at something as ordinary as a tea bag and saw a problem worth solving. The wellness entrepreneur and patent holder joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to explain why she believes plastic has quietly worked its way into nearly everything we eat, drink, and wear — and what she decided to do about it.
The conversation ranges from microplastics and hormone disruption to seed oils, detox practices, and the story of building a wellness brand from scratch after personal tragedy. It is equal parts health deep-dive and founder's journey, with Musco's conviction driving both.

In this episode, Josephine Musco discusses female-optimized electrolytes, olive leaf antioxidants, organic fabrics, and the philosophy behind what she calls raising a fully biohacked child. Hers is the perspective of a founder who treats health as both a personal mission and a product standard.
