I was raised by a chiropractor that specialized in nutrition. I am also a natural born researcher and love to understand how the body works. It constantly blows me away how intricately and beautifully designed God made us! It then amazes me even more when I see how God’s design in nature gives us what our minds and bodies need to thrive.
Even with the background I have, I often felt overwhelmed when swapping out conventional products. You may sometimes feel this way too. Just remember, there is no rush- take it one step at a time. It is not about perfection or overhauling everything overnight, but slowly making mindful choices and replacing conventional products with non toxic alternatives that support your body while creating an environment for your body to function at its best.
Every home and body is different, so this is not a one size fits all approach. Instead, it is an invitation to explore what works best for you and your family.
I am excited to share a few of the many swaps we have made over the years for our family.
