I’ve been thinking lately about how I can become healthier, improve my well-being, and be more self-sufficient and holistic in regard to what I’m putting into my body. This train of thought led me back to how this all got started: when I began making my own toothpaste. Those of you who know me from Love is Blind know that I’ve been making my own toothpaste for years. It began by falling down a rabbit hole of exploring and researching the ingredients in products we use every day. I was shocked to discover the number of dangerous chemicals that are in toothpaste despite FDA approval, chemicals that can cause cancer, cognitive issues, hormonal imbalance, and many more side effects that we may not even realize are happening.   There weren’t many organic toothpaste brands at the time, so I began making my own. For eight years, I’ve been creating and using homemade toothpastes, soaps, condiments, recipes, and much more in an effort to live a healthier life. The benefits have been obvious, as I started feeling and looking better within weeks of beginning this journey.   This brings us to today’s guest, Leslie Guevara. Leslie reached out to me the night that my toothpaste scene aired on Love is Blind. She asked me if I’d be interested in trying her natural, organic toothpaste. After doing some research, I discovered she runs a small business called Tru-Eden and that her product is actually FDA-approved.   I was very skeptical at first, because even most “natural” toothpastes often have at least one negative ingredient in them. However, Leslie’s focus on oral health and how it continues to contribute to overall immunity and health convinced me. She sent me a sample of Tru-Eden toothpaste to try, and I was blown away. I wasn’t just impressed with the toothpaste, but also her story, what led her to make her own toothpaste, how she discovered these ingredients, and why she turned it into a business.   Leslie’s authenticity and patience with me led us to form a lasting friendship. I can’t wait to share my conversation with Leslie with you today.    You can find Leslie and Tru-Eden Toothpaste here:   Website: https://www.tru-eden.com/    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/truedentoothpaste/    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truedentoothpaste     Find Nick Thompson here:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXipWcR8Pit6vYHd1ZcKgKg
