Are you toxic?
Did you know? Women apply, on average, 168 synthetic chemicals to their faces and bodies each day. These chemicals are many times cancer causing and endocrine disruptors, mimicking estrogen in the body which can wreak havoc on our hormones.
Are you toxic? Do you have...
-low energy?
- brain fog?
- difficulty losing weight?
- allergies or eczema?
- low libido?
- constipation / diarrhea?
- low energy?
- low immunity?
- anxiety or depression?
- frequent headaches?
You might be toxic. The good news is, you can vastly improve your quality of life by making simple changes. I have spent a lot of years searching for the best clean products! I use the Think Dirty App and the Skin Deep / EWG database to help me make more mindful decisions. Watch this video to learn more about WHY it’s important to start making changes today!
Every choice we make has an impact on our health and I’m always searching for ways to reduce the toxic load. Young Living makes it super easy for me to do a lot of ONE STOP shopping and they have the Seed to Seal guarantee which is important to me.
YL doesn’t “list” with the above databases that I mentioned, but it helps to use the Think Dirty app to scan your current products and get a rating. YL also has a STELLAR rewards program which the other companies don’t have so I get as much as I can from them.
