🚨 Did you know some popular toothpaste brands still use ingredients banned in other countries?

SLS, artificial dyes, and even titanium dioxide, linked to toxicity concerns, are hiding in plain sight on your bathroom shelf.

If you're on a fertility journey or prepping for pregnancy, your oral care routine matters more than you think.

Why risk daily exposure to chemicals that can impact your hormones and overall health when you can avoid them?

Exposure to PFAS in drinking water is linked to thousands of cancer cases - and these chemicals can also impact hormone health, fertility, and pregnancy outcomes.

A recent study shows that PFAS in drinking water is linked to increased cancer risks. This study highlights associations with digestive, respiratory, and endocrine system cancers. (PMID: 39789195)

There's good news!

You have more control than you think.

By making small, consistent changes at home, you can reduce your exposure and support your body's natural detox pathways.

✔ Use a water filter certified to reduce PFAS (look for NSF/ANSI 53 or 58 certification)
✔ Ditch plastic bottles and choose stainless steel or glass instead
✔ Cut back on processed and packaged foods, which are often lined with PFAS-containing materials
✔ Check your local water quality report to understand your exposure level

This isn’t about perfection.

It’s about making wiser everyday choices that protect your body and future family.

Every step you take matters.

You’re not powerless.

You’re informed and empowered.

🚨 A child can be up to 20x more sensitive to toxic exposure than an adult.

Their little bodies absorb more per pound and their detox pathways aren’t fully developed.

That makes everyday chemicals in food, water, and even household products far more dangerous to children than we think.

If you're planning for a baby, how toxin-aware is your environment right now?

"PFOA-free" doesn’t mean toxin-free. Shocking, right? 😳

Many nonstick pans still contain GenX, which is another PFAS chemical, so PFOA free does not mean PFAS free.

Reported adverse effects of GenX (HFPO–DA) include reproductive and developmental toxicity, endocrine disruption, intestinal toxicity, immunotoxicity, hematological toxicity, renal toxicity, and carcinogenicity (PMID: 40270535).

Just because it’s labeled “safe” doesn’t mean it actually is. 🧪

This changes *everything*: Your body’s master antioxidant—glutathione—is constantly under attack from daily stress, toxins, and processed food.

Here’s the truth: low glutathione = less cellular energy, slower detox, and increased inflammation. But guess what? You can take your power back with small, strategic shifts in how you nourish and care for your body.

Are you dealing with low energy, hormonal imbalances, or burnout and wondering *why* your efforts aren’t working? This might be the missing piece.

You're not alone—comment **'ME'** if this resonates, and let’s support each other on the path to stronger, more fertile health. 💪✨

Want my top picks for Toxicologist-approved sun protection? Comment "SUNSCREEN" and I’ll DM it to you! ☀️🧴

Sunscreen is supposed to *protect* you - not mess with your hormones.

😬 But many popular brands still use ingredients linked to endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, and fertility issues.

If you're looking to optimize your fertility, have a healthy pregnancy, postpartum, and thriving baby, then avoiding endocrine disruptors is key.

Stay safe this summer and beyond with low tox sun protection!

🚨 Are your kitchen utensils secretly exposing you to toxic chemicals? 🚨

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) were designed to slow down fires in electronics.

Thanks to inadequate sorting during plastic recycling, they’re ending up in everyday household items like spatulas, food containers, and even kids’ toys! 😱
