Morgan and I  started looking for ways to become more toxin free 4+ years ago.  We both had skin conditions that the dermatologist couldn't seem to solve.  Both popped up out of nowhere! My condition went on for about 3 years before that, Morgan's about a year. We were getting married in a few months and were exasperated! We changed our diet numerous times trying to find the culprit, to no avail.  We both tried numerous creams and antibiotics, they even wanted to put me on Accutane! 

 

That's when we met with a fellow friend and trainer, Taylor.  I knew through our interactions, she didn't touch anything toxic.  I mean she was disgusted by any spray or smell-good chemical in the gym! She had something similar happen to her, years earlier,  that we were going through. She convinced us to slowly start changing our products out, starting with toothpaste.  A couple months later, we had found products we liked and were reasonably priced, and slowly gotten all the toxic stuff out of our lives. 

 

About 6 months in, our skin conditions totally cleared up on their own!  First Morgan's, then, a couple weeks later, mine.  And we felt better!  A lot better! We're convinced that just years of using, and being exposed to, toxic products in our everyday lives led to our bodies rejecting all those chemicals.  And as your skin is your biggest organ, It makes sense that It was the area that went haywire.  So we wonder what other issues could be solved by converting to a non-toxic lifestyle? 

 

The US Government allows 1,500 chemicals in our daily products that the EU and other parts of the world don't allow.  Everyone is talking about food, which is great, but what about everything else your body consumes through the skin, hair, nose and mouth? Focusing on food is the first step, but everything else out there can have just as much impact on your system!  So we would love to tell our story and teach people there's more to healthy living besides just dietary changes.  Just gradually switch out products as you use them up and you won't lose money and It won't seem so overwhelming!
