My journey into preventative health and wellness started in 2010 but I didn't learn about what was lurking in our homes, cleaners and personal care products until May 2012 when my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
His doctor quickly scheduled him for emergency lung surgery followed by 6 weeks of recovery then 8 weeks of chemotherapy which consisted of an 8-hour drip, Monday - Friday plus radiation each day on the inoperable nodules.
It was during this time that I started researching what causes cancer (specifically lung cancer), ways to reduce further risk, how to support his healing naturally and what changes we could make to increase his chances of survival.
I discovered the critical role of air quality in our home and the toxic ingredients lurking in personal and household products.
This research led me down a rabbit hole of information, revealing the harms of candles, greenwashing, and the bioaccumulation of chemicals and toxins in the body, and sadly, the list of harmful ingredients I uncovered is VERY long.
I quickly made changes to the products we were using and began to ditch the toxic products in our home, starting with our household cleaners & candles.
Today, our home is 95% free of harsh chemicals.
If this is all new to you, don't worry... I've created resources to help you understand why we continue to choose to live a low-tox lifestyle and guide you in making small, simple shifts that can make a big difference over time.
I aim to live my best life, setting an example for my children, and showing them a healthier way to live.
Remember, you are worth it, and your wellness is worth it too! Let's take action and embrace a healthier lifestyle together.
