Living Low-Tox with Suzanne

07/28/2025

This post is LONG, but you might relate to it and find something helpful.
This is inspired by a post I saw on a page that I follow. The woman shared her own Before and After photos showing the difference between untreated and treated hypothyroidism. So I decided to compare my own.🦋

Hormonal imbalance, including thyroid disease, can be a major contributor to inflammation in the body. 🥵

I was 40 in picture on the left. I was working out every day, eating pretty clean and I actually weighed less than I do now. I was also puffy, exhausted, not sleeping well and my anxiety was through the roof.
I am about to turn 54 in the picture on the right, still working out daily, eating pretty clean and weigh at least 10 pounds MORE than I did at 40. I’m no longer puffy, I’m energetic, I sleep great and my anxiety is pretty much gone.☺️

The difference…I learned everything I could about hormonal imbalance and at 44, I found a doctor who was on the same page. He ran the right tests and knew how to interpret the results.👨‍⚕️🔬
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease and found out my estrogen, progesterone and testosterone levels were very low…HELLO PERI-MENOPAUSE! 👵🏻
I was prescribed a natural thyroid replacement as well as bio-identical hormones and several supplements and after all these years, I continue to feel better every day.⚡️

It was also at this time that I started on my non-toxic journey and sought out the cleanest products without carcinogens and endocrine disruptors. Fat cells store toxins! It’s all connected! 🌿

Hope this helps someone! 💚

5 mile weighted vest walk✅

That’s about 12,000 steps.

I’m reading a lot about how the 10,000 step per day goal, that’s been talked about for so long, is now being debunked. “Experts” (whatever that means) are saying 7,000 steps per day is just as effective toward good health.

What do you think❓

Not naming names, but even the so-called “clean”, “safe” and “natural” companies use this harmful preservative pretty regularly. 🧪
Always check labels….or better yet, use products that do the work for you.🔍

This is progress!

Rhode Island just made history.

It’s the first state in the U.S. to require workplace accommodations for menopause and related conditions.

What does that mean?

Employers in Rhode Island are now legally required to:
✅ Provide reasonable accommodations for employees managing menopause symptoms (like hot flashes).
✅ Update and post notices about these rights where employees can see them.
✅ Give these notices to new hires or within 10 days of an employee notifying them about menopause or pregnancy.

This is a huge step toward making workplaces more inclusive for women at every stage of life.
