Sep 28 Have a Good Look at Your Beauty Products

In a recent post on cleansing I suggested that doing a seasonal cleanse can be different things to different people. For some, it may be drinking more water, adding in a few more vegetables or turning their screens off at night sooner, it can be anything. Cleansing should include, what we eat, drink or consume but what about the products that we use on a daily basis.? I am talking about the moisturizers, the hand soap, shampoos, conditioners, etc. What are they made of? Do you know? Here are just 3 of many harmful chemicals that are known to cause cancer, disrupt hormone balance, create issues with our immune system and are general irritants among so many other things. I strongly urge you to have look at your favourite products to see what they are made of. I am happy to see there are more people who are aware of the dangers of Parabens, but there are so many other chemicals that are just as dangerous as Parabens, that are not on people’s radar. Instead of curing cancer maybe we should look at ways to prevent cancer. There are many, many healthy alternatives to all of our daily beauty products that are safe, and natural. Part of your seasonal cleanse could include looking at just one of your products for harmful chemicals and finding a healthy alternative. If you need any help with this please reach out to me and I am more than happy to help!

Hey there!

Eating, body awareness, my overall health and self esteem have always been a struggle for me, so I understand and have intimate knowledge about what you may be going through.

I started out as a wheezy asthmatic kid in and out of hospitals and often attached to oxygen. I was told “No” a lot for fear of triggering an asthma attack, so there was minimal exercise and limited exposure to potential allergens.

I never really thought about being “fat” or how my body looked until I had to take steroids and gained a lot of weight which I definitely did not grow out, as hoped by the doctors and my parents.

This started my journey towards self hatred and my poor relationship with food. After years of struggling I decided that I needed to educate myself on how our bodies work, how food affects our health and how to properly exercise.

I have been a Personal Trainer for over 15 years and a Holistic Nutritionist for over 5 years.

I know what it feels like to be lethargic, sick and have no idea why. It doesn’t have to be this way, I can help you learn how your diet is directly affecting your energy levels, your over all health and your moods.

You must be tired of feeling crappy all the time, I know there is a better way. Let’s figure this out together.
