I’m talking about toxic cleaning chemicals and household products. When I discovered the negative effects that these products were having on my hormones and overall health, my entire life changed. Did you know that the air inside our homes is 200% - 500% more toxic than the air we breathe outside? This is because the harmful toxins found in cleaning and personal care products can lead to chronic diseases like autoimmunity, obesity, allergies and even cancer. By making over your cleaning cabinet to reduce your overall toxin load and help balance your hormones you will see amazing results in you and your family’s health. If you have estrogen dominance, are chronically exhausted, have frequent migraines or are depressed, your body might be experiencing what I like to call pure hormone chaos. This is only magnified when we surround ourselves with toxic chemicals on a daily basis. By decreasing your and your family's exposure to these chemicals and silent toxins, you can improve your reproductive system, metabolism, brain function and so much more.  In this episode, I will give you all the tools you need to give your cleaning cabinet a full out makeover, including common household items that will not only help you clean healthier, but also save you money! Something needs to change in your lifestyle to protect your family and make you feel like you again, why not start with the cleaning cabinet?
