Conversations about toxic chemicals often feel overwhelming and anxiety-inducing. But let’s take a step back and breathe. It’s 2024, and we all deserve peace of mind.?????♀? Here’s the truth: there’s no such thing as “chemical free”. Everything around us is made up of chemicals — the air we breathe, the water we drink, even our own hormones! ????? What truly matters is understanding that not all chemicals are harmful. In fact, many have greatly enhanced our quality of life and longevity. Yet, there are harmful chemicals we encounter daily. These are the ones we should aim to reduce. While we can’t eliminate all exposures, we can certainly minimise them. ? Here’s the silver lining: occasional exposures to chemicals like BPA in food packaging or phthalates in fragrances aren’t immediately hazardous. Our bodies are resilient and can handle these in small doses without a problem. The concern lies in chronic, daily exposure over time. Embracing a low-toxic lifestyle is about making gradual, steady changes—not striving for perfection or succumbing to panic. When we take consistent daily actions, we reduce stress and anxiety, allowing us to focus on living our best lives without fear. I've been sharing simple, actionable steps to help you lower your harmful chemical exposures and will continue to provide tips and guidance, but I’d love to hear from you: what has your journey been like as you learn more about environmental chemicals? Share your experiences, and let’s support each other on this path to healthier living! ??

Did you know that the cleaning products you use might be affecting your child's respiratory health? When you walk down the cleaning product aisle at your local supermarket it’s easy to think there are so many great choices, but nearly all conventional household cleaning products at your local shop are packed with harmful chemicals that can increase the risk of asthma and wheezing in children.??? These traditional cleaners contain toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like: ? benzene and toluene ? phthalates ? synthetic fragrance compounds all of which can trigger asthma attacks. Asthma, the most common chronic childhood disease, leads to inflammation of the airways, restricting breathing. It’s a major cause of ER visits, hospitalisations, and missed school days. Having asthma impacts daily activities and overall quality of life. While many factors contribute to childhood asthma, the use of conventional cleaning products is one you can control. Whether your child has asthma or not, switching to cleaning products made with safer ingredients benefits the entire household as the harmful chemicals in traditional cleaning products are linked to many other health issues, too! Swapping to safer household cleaning products, like those from Lavender & Lemon, or making your own, can reduce these risks, provide relief to asthma sufferers, and lower toxic exposures for everyone at home.

With #worldhealthday coming up in a few days, I thought it was a perfect time to start an ongoing discussion about toxic chemicals. ?? Recently, there's been a surge in conversations about harmful environmental exposures, yet for many, this concept remains somewhat elusive. So, let's unpack it together. Environmental toxins refer to substances that pose a risk or are associated with negative health outcomes. These can permeate our lives through the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the products we purchase, and even the spaces we frequent, such as homes, schools, and workplaces. These toxins can either be of natural origin (like lead, arsenic, mercury) or synthetic (such as pesticides, plasticizers, PFAS). Years of research indicate that exposure to these toxins can lead to a host of serious health issues, including: ? Infertility ? Changes in fetal development ? Developmental challenges in children ? The early arrival of puberty ? Heart diseases ? Metabolic disorders, including obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes ? Various cancers ? Immune system issues, including autoimmune disorders ? Conditions related to hormonal imbalances like PCOS and uterine fibroids ? Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and dementia ? Allergies and asthma ? Among many others… To achieve optimal health, it's crucial to extend our efforts beyond the essentials of a balanced diet, regular exercise, and quality sleep (important as they are) and strive to reduce our exposure to these harmful chemicals wherever possible. This topic is vast, but I'm here to guide you through it, focusing on specific exposures in upcoming discussions. My goal is to foster an informative, balanced, and evidence-based dialogue about these exposures — no room for fear or panic here! Do you have any questions or concerns about environmental toxins?
