Five Things to Do to Start Living Toxic Free

Creating a toxic free lifestyle doesn't have to be complicated and it doesn't have to break the bank! Making small changes over time creates big impact. Especially when the change is small but significant. 

If I were to start over on my health journey, these five things would be the first to change.

Water

Your body is made up of mostly water and it's the one thing you consume the most of. That's why this is my number one when it comes to going toxic free. Most city water is loaded with chemicals, contaminants, fluoride, and much more. 

We personally use a reverse osmosis machine but if you want to get started on a budget I highly recommend Zero Water. 

The model pictured above is no longer available. Here is the link to the newer model which has amazing reviews!!

Deodorant

Primally Pure - Save 10% with code CORIE

Your armpits sweat because they are ridding your body of toxins. You are supposed to sweat! Using an antiperspirant is blocking your body from doing exactly what God created it to do. And the toxins that are in traditional deodorants are going straight into your system, right where your lymph nodes are.

In fact, I have two friends who have recently battled breast cancer and both were recommended to switch to natural deodorant. Now, why wouldn't doctors recommend it BEFORE being diagnosed with cancer?? 

Anyways... There's a reason they're recommending the switch and it confirms what I already knew.

Switching to a natural deodorant is an easy swap on something that has big impact on your health. I will NEVER use regular deodorant again. Some of the ingredients are proven to cause cancer and Alzheimer's among other things.

I spent years looking for a good, non-toxic deodorant and finally found the absolute best!

I highly recommend Primally Pure and personally love the charcoal. I do have the unscented that I'll use for immediately after shaving. I love the scent and it works so good! I'm usually a pretty stinky girl so believe me when I say I've tried TONS that don't work.

Toothpaste

RiseWell use code CORIE10 for 10% off

We love or RiseWell Toothpaste! Natural and free of toxins plus REALLY good for your teeth! RiseWell toothpaste is made with naturally-derived hydroxyapatite, a mineral that makes up 97% of our tooth enamel and 60% of your bones and has been proven to strengthen and protect your teeth without fluoride.

Cleaning Products

We currently use Rocky Mountain Oils Tohi concentrate to make our multi-purpose cleaners but I also have a blog post here on how to make your very own at home for just a few dollars!

Nutrient Supplement

Our bodies are completely depleted of nutrients because our soil and foods are as well. While I absolutely think buying organic foods is important, I think supplementing with Black Oxygen Organics is even more important. It delivers 70+ minerals to your body AND helps your body absorb those minerals and ones that you're getting from your food!

If I had to give up every supplement but one, Black Oxygen Organics would be the one I would keep. Hands down!

Just remember, if you feel overwhelmed with getting started in this journey, just start with one little thing. Start educating yourself and when you know better, choose better.
