Instead of just coloring your product packaging pink for the month of October, how about actually examining the consequences of the ingredients of products and finding ways to improve them?

This October, let’s stand with brands that truly support the fight against breast cancer by NOT having carcinogens in their products, instead of those who .

🎀Don’t be fooled by pink ribbons slapped on products just to boost sales, while still selling the very chemicals that contribute to cancer.

❌Avoid toxins known to cause breast cancer in ultra processed foods and beauty products such as

-Parabens
-Fragrance
-Phthalates
-BHT
-BHA
-Toluene
-Triclosan
-Artificial dyes

✅Stick to

As we age and develop more visceral fat (fat surrounding our abdominal organs), insulin resistance can develop - especially when consuming a diet rich in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and processed foods. In perimenopause, dropping estrogen levels can further contribute to insulin resistance, making perimenopausal symptoms even worse! The good news is that reversing insulin resistance and balancing blood sugar can improve many perimenopausal symptoms. Find a nutrition plan that works for you without being in a caloric deficit.
