Recent studies have shed light on the harmful, cancer causing (i.e. ‘endocrine disrupting’) chemicals found in many mainstream products. Companies like Neutrogena, Banana Boat, Coppertone, Australian Gold & CVS contain nasty ingredients like those shown in the first photo which should be avoided at all costs! Oxybenzone, for example, is found in 40% of the 1,800 products @EWG_info investigated & according to the CDC, 97% of Americans have this chemical circulating in their bodies! So while y…

When suffering from hormone imbalances, finding healthier alternatives for the foods you crave is KEY. While we are all for the move towards a more plant-based diet (providing an abundance of vitamins & minerals our hormones/bodies need), we are seeing a TON of brands popping up with alternatives to classic carnivore diet staples (i.e. burgers, cheeses, chicken nuggets etc). Unfortunately, while there are some amazing brands out there, there are quite a few packaging their product in such a …

When choosing a body wash or scrub, here’s why switching to a non-toxic brand like @acure matters for your health & hormones:⁠

Most body washes are filled with nasty chemicals & preservatives: things like phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde, and sulfates can throw a wrench in the way your body produces hormones. They are xeno-estrogens which are basically fake estrogens that try to get into the cells of the body and can lead to imbalances like estrogen dominance (a catalyst for symptoms such a…

During Halloween (and the rest of the holidays), the consumption of sugar skyrockets, and as a result, so can hormone imbalances! Did you know that studies have shown that kids can consume up to three cups of sugar eating Halloween candy? This equals almost 169 sugar cubes! ⁠

This is one of the many reasons it's important to find healthier alternatives to the traditional sugar-laden candies and treats that hang out on waiting room counters, break rooms, and friends' kitchen counters! If we're…

Swap that sugary, high calorie, artificial Pumpkin Spice Latte with this delicious, zero added sugar, hormone balancing STAR product, made by our very own Health Coach, @bodyblissbyjess! Here are our fav ways to prepare it:

✔️ Add 1 heaping TBSP PSL mix to 8oz-10z steamed coconut or almond milk, top with cinnamon & enjoy! Pro tip: use a frother or blender to get nice and foamy! (If you drink coffee, we recommend using one that is organic & fair trade & adding a couple splashes as an alterna…

When attempting to make healthier lifestyle choices, becoming a "detective" at the grocery store & learning to read labels becomes a real skill! Today we're switching out Silk's non-dairy creamer for our favorite one from @lairdsuperfoods! While we agree that soy can be part of a nutrient rich diet (intentionally and in moderation), we also believe that it must come from an organic source and be enjoyed in whole food form as much as possible (organic tempeh, edamame)!

Ways to use Laird's cr…

When thinking about planning a family, one of the most important steps as a woman is to fuel yourself with specific nutrients to prep & prime the body for a healthy pregnancy! Using a combo of pregnancy happy vitamins & minerals with intentional nutrition AND a quality prenatal is key when it comes to getting pregnant and bringing a healthy baby into the world!

Unfortunately, in the US, the FDA doesn’t review prenatal vitamins for safety and efficacy before they get placed on the shelves & …

Don’t let product packaging fool you! Some companies label their products in a way that convinces people they are more environmentally friendly, healthy, natural, free of harmful chemicals, and recyclable. For example, Green Works by Clorox uses words like “naturally derived” to trick the consumer into thinking they are buying a product that has natural ingredients, but the label tells us a different story. Switch to safer and check out one of our preferred products: @betterlifecleanhappens! ⁠…

We talk to a lot of clients who feel like they can’t make it through the day without coffee, energy drinks OR a combo like this Starbucks double shot coffee & energy drink which seems like the best of both worlds, right? Not if you’re trying to balance your hormones & improve energy levels naturally!

If you wake up feeling like you just got hit by a truck OR are tired at night but come to life right when it’s time to fall asleep, NEED some kind of energy drink daily, are edgy, irritable or …

Did you know that specific fragrances (which can include hundreds of potentially harmful, unnatural ingredients) are not required to be listed on packaging or company websites? The words “fragrance” and/or “parfum” can be listed on the label rather than the actual ingredients used to make the scent.
