There are many things in our environment and diet that affect our estrogen levels and disrupt the natural flow of our hormones. In several episodes, we’ve discussed how environmental toxins adversely affect our hormones, this is why reducing toxic load is very important when it comes to our reproductive system and menstrual cycle.

Let’s clear the confusion surrounding the F word. Fragrance. In this episode, you’ll learn the truth about why synthetic fragrance is the #1 ingredient you should stay away from to reduce your body’s toxic burden.

There is a lot of controversy surrounding what we should and shouldn’t eat but one thing that’s never up for debate is the fact that we all need lots of vegetables every single day. How does getting the nutritional equivalent of a plateful of veggies from one tablet sound? And what if I told you that tablet was actual food, not a supplement? Sounds pretty amazing, doesn’t it? It certainly intrigued me.

Because toxins wreak havoc on our health, they also affect how we look. Toxins do no favors for a savvy beauty. They age us both on the inside and the outside. They can even cause bad breath! Not sexy. The good news is that we can mitigate many of the harmful, ugly effects by reducing toxic load.
