Our Start to Non-Toxic Living
We've always tried to avoid microwaving food in plastic and choosing mostly organic foods but our main journey toward non-toxic living was jumpstarted with a wake-up call during my second pregnancy. We came across articles linking microplastics from common household items—like dishwasher pods—to traces found in breastmilk. That moment hit hard. The idea that even breastmilk, something so natural and nourishing, could be compromised by everyday toxins was the push we needed to start making serious changes in our home. Around the same time, my work as a Doctor of Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine consistently revealed how environmental toxins were impacting my patients' long-term health, from hormone disruption to chronic inflammation. It became clear: if we wanted to protect our family’s well-being, we needed to be intentional about what we brought into our home. So, we began swapping out toxic products—one item at a time—for safer, healthier alternatives. And now, we’re passionate about helping other families do the same because your home should be a place of health—not hidden toxins.
In this section, we share the why and how of swapping out harmful products for safe, effective alternatives. From cookware and cleaning supplies to personal care and baby products, we break down the research, recommend our favorites, and help you make choices that support your family's long-term health—one swap at a time.
