It is my mission to empower women to take back their fertility and health through education and support. When you know better, you do better. Today’s post is about creating your natural beauty care routine. A big part of my fertility practice is educating couples. Month 1 the focus is on cleaning out anything and everything in your life that is causing endocrine harm or hormonal imbalance. You would be surprised at how many chemicals are everywhere! And there are big myths floating around that have us thinking that if it is on the shelf, it must be safe and FDA approved. Not so. Popular brands have Phthalates and other chemicals that are known to cause reproductive harm. 
Why did I choose to go natural? Partly it was my upbringing( raised vegetarian and my mom made her own skincare products) and partly it was my own health crisis in 2011/2012. After having my first son, I found myself sluggish, depressed, had a hard time getting back to my pre-baby weight, and just felt off. My intuition told me that this way of feeling wasn’t optimal and I should do something about it. I happened to be writing an article on thyroid health at the time and I identified with some of the symptoms I was writing of. I went to my doctor and she palpated my neck and felt a nodule which later the ultrasound confirmed. I decided to re-evaluate everything I was doing, especially anything that caused a hormonal imbalance. So, I did a cleanse and decided to get rid of any beauty products that had chemicals. I discovered new great products. I am going to share my favorite products today. Hopefully, it cuts out some of the overwhelm of “where do I start?”. Change can be daunting at first, but after you start, you will find it invigorating! Be an empowered consumer and take back your fertility and hormonal health. You deserve radiant health.
