Easy, easy ways to eliminate toxins and save $

Hey, hey guys, I hope that you're having a fantastic day. Um, this is a very busy, crazy week for us, and so I wanted to make sure that I didn't leave you guys, um, out. I got on here and talked to you about all the things that are important to you, important to me, in terms of toxic ingredients and your fertility. So one of the easiest ways to, um, to get the toxins out of your life is just simply by eliminating extra products. So not only are you going to eliminate the toxins, you're going to save a lot of money too, right? So in the intro video, we talked about the number one thing to switch out in your life is your laundry products. So you're eliminating fabric softener, eliminating your dryer sheets and switching to a non-toxic, chemical-free, good-rated laundry product soap. Um, that was a lot of words for no reason, sorry about that. Okay, so the other thing that you could do that's super, super easy— so remember, we're doing the laundry products because you're in your clothes or on your sheets 23.5 hours a day, so it's making a huge impact on your bioaccumulation of chemicals. So the next thing about switching out something super easy in your life is to get a sodium lauryl sulfate and preferably fluoride, which we'll talk about later in the week, but a sodium lauryl sulfate free toothpaste. So these are pretty easy to find nowadays. You can get them at Target even or Whole Foods. Sometimes even the grocery stores have them. The reason that you want to eliminate a toothpaste that has sodium lauryl sulfate in it, it's a known carcinogen. The sodium lauryl sulfate acts as a foaming agent, which we love as Americans. We love that foaming agent, that big, rabid, foamy, toothpaste-y mouth, right? That's what we're used to, so just know when you switch, you may or may not get that. I have some natural toothpastes that I use that I still get that, that same kind of feeling, maybe a little bit less. So the reason that we want to switch out our toothpaste, it's twofold. It's that sodium lauryl sulfate. Your mouth is a mucous membrane, which means that everything, um, all that sodium lauryl sulfate that you're putting in your mouth via toothpaste is going right into your bloodstream very rapidly. Um, so we talk about like medications being absorbed sublingually under your tongue. So can you imagine, like, the sodium lauryl sulfate is like, shoo, it's on a highway to your bloodstream, superhighway. So, and then the fluoride, do your own research on fluoride. We're gonna talk about it later this week, but fluoride is actually a neurotoxin, and so if you can eliminate that out of your toothpaste, and if you can eliminate that out of your water, that is going to reduce your bioaccumulation too. So two easy ways, laundry, and now we're on to toothpaste. I don't, I don't think that those are too big for anybody to tackle, right? Pretty easy, very inexpensive. It's going to reduce your overall bioaccumulation. Remember, these are hormone and endocrine disruptors too, so they're definitely affecting your reproductive and your endocrine system. So the other ones that I want to talk about are the VOCs. That we, that we were talking about. And so VOCs come from things off-gassing, like plastic. So if you can try to switch out your plastics in your, in your house for glass and just try to eliminate as much plastic in your house as possible. I know some of you may be experiencing secondary infertility, and so that's a tall order. I get you. We definitely still have plastic in our house. But, um, we have stopped using like plastic film and things like that, replaced that with reusable bags. It's Earth Day today, and in the future, just know that this was filmed on Earth Day if you're watching this. Um, and so, you know, being— not only is it helping your health, it's being budget-friendly to the other The glass containers and the recyclable containers are a little bit more expensive upfront as an investment, but they last longer, and then you're helping the planet as well, right? Okay, MEA, DEA, and TEA. These are a lot of ingredients. They're a kind of chemical, ethanylamines. This is why I just use the abbreviation instead. I don't know exactly how to say that, but we'll go with that. So these are a lot. Of chemicals found in your makeup. So, let's start with laundry, let's start with toothpaste. This might be something that might be a deal breaker for you right now, so just, you know, skip over that. Do the easy ones. Don't just get into a mindset that I'm not going to throw all my makeup away. When you run out of your makeup, start searching out greener, chemical-free options. There's a lot of great makeup options out there nowadays. And so I mentioned to you all that money you're saving by not buying your laundry products, your fabric softener, your dryer sheets, eliminating the VOCs in your home also through not using aerosol room freshening sprays, not using plugins. You guys, I could do like a 3-hour I could have a 3-hour conversation with you about how toxic plug-ins and synthetic air fresheners are. They are really, really bad for your whole body, but terrible for your endocrine system, terrible for your hormones. And it's an easy thing just to get used to saving that money. Unplug it, throw it out, don't use the air fresheners. If you do need to use something, look, look for something essential oil based. You can make your own sprays really easily. With witch hazel and a few drops of essential oils.
