⁣You found mold in your home... Now what?🤔⠀
⠀
Toxic mold exposure in your home is often the last thing on your mind, when it should be one of the first. ⠀
⠀
Mold spores can easily grow in any spot in your house that has excess moisture. If it is left untreated, it can have a serious impact on your body. ⠀
⠀
Toxic mold releases mycotoxins and mVOC’s (microbial volatile organic compounds). Exposures to these toxins result in  numerous symptoms.⠀
⠀
A few symptoms related to toxic mold exposure include:⠀

-Headaches⠀
-Nausea and abdominal discomfort ⠀
-Changes in vision ⠀
-Muscle pain and cramps ⠀
⠀
So, how do you recover after being exposed to mold?⠀
⠀
It’s crucial that you leave this to the experts. Call in mold remediation experts that will follow a detailed remediation plan. Once you have a plan in place to remove the mold, it is important to focus on restoring your health - post exposure. ⠀

⁣We've all been taught to prevent skin cancer by wearing sunscreen, but we need to go one step further and make sure the TYPE of sunscreen we choose is not causing more harm than good ⚠️
⠀
As with most products in the personal-care industry, it’s difficult to tell what’s what.⠀
⠀
This is why finding products that are produced free of harsh chemicals is important when deciding what will work best for you.⠀

A key to maximizing your overall health and wellness is taking the extra step to read labels and research the active ingredients that are listed.⠀

According to the EWG, the ingredients oxybenzone, octinoxate, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate and avobenzone are all systemically absorbed into the body after one use and could be detected on the skin and in the blood weeks after no longer being used.⠀

The most worrisome is oxybenzone. It is readily absorbed through the skin and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found it in nearly all Americans. Oxybenzone causes allergic skin reactions, behaves like an endocrine disruptor in many studies, and is potentially of greater harm to children.⠀

Since it’s possible to inhale ingredients in sunscreen sprays and ingest some of the ingredients applied to lips, ensuring your ingredients aren’t harmful to the lungs or internal organs is key.⠀

Here is a list of a few sunscreens you’ll want to avoid 👇

⚠️ Neutrogena Beach Defense⠀
⚠️ Neutrogena Cool Dry Sport⠀
⚠️ Neutrogena Invisible Dry⠀
⚠️ Neutrogena Ultra Sheer⠀
⚠️ Aveeno Protect + Refresh ⠀

So many people think fitness is just about having abs or a perfectly sculpted physique - but TRUE health is about so much more than how you look in a bikini 🎯⠀
⠀
It’s about being able to play sports and spend quality time with your children on a beautiful Sunday, or attending a special event like graduation or their wedding day. It’s about confidence, self-love, and loving the skin you’re in. ⠀
⠀
With that said, here are just a few reasons you should make fitness a priority:
⠀
⁣• It helps with lymph drainage and detox.⠀
• Improves circulation. ⠀
• Increases feel good hormones to promote well-being. ⠀
• Improves cognitive function ( aka makes your brain work better ) ⠀
• Helps combat depression and anxiety.⠀
• Helps reduce inflammation. ⠀
⠀
As you can see...the list of benefits are endless.

Personally, I love my Peloton as well as meditation and yoga.

It’s great for both the body… and mind 🙏🏻

Now you tell me, what’s your favorite form of exercise? Would love to hear in the comment section below.⠀

⁣If you’ve been around the health and wellness space for a while, then I’m almost certain you’ve heard the term “intermittent fasting.”⠀

But, you likely haven’t heard about fasting mimicking. ⠀

And what in the world is the difference between IF and fasting mimicking?!👇

The fasting mimicking diet is a 5-day mimicked fast where you follow a plant-based and calorie- restricted diet. This diet allows you to eat whole foods, while the body transitions into a fasting state.

With this approach, it is much easier, and safer, to comply with a mimicked fast than to water fast, (where you literally only consume water).⠀

What are some of the benefits associated with FM?⠀

Benefits such as a supported immune system, decrease in inflammation, improved energy metabolism, improved sleep, and improved memory are just a few of the many benefits that are found when you follow the fasting mimicking diet. ⠀

Intermittent fasting, on the other hand, is a 16 hour period of time where you go without food. Most people who practice IF typically stop eating after dinner and then eat a late breakfast or early lunch the following day. IF allows the body to detox naturally, decreases inflammation, supports a healthy metabolism, etc.⠀

Both have a long list of benefits, it all depends on what works best for YOUR body and immune system.⠀

If you’re familiar with IF but new to the fasting mimicking world, then click the link in my bio to read more about what the diet entails and if it could be an option for you.⠀

⁣Fungal infections are more common than you think. Especially during hot summer temperatures. ⠀
⠀
They can affect anyone, and can appear on feet, arms, stomach, under arms, anywhere sweat is persistent.⠀
⠀
Different types of fungi can cause fungal infections. In some cases, fungi that aren’t typically found on or inside your body can colonize it and cause an infection. ⠀
⠀
In other cases, fungi that are normally present on or inside your body can multiply out of control and cause an infection.⠀
⠀
For those of you who may not be familiar…. Fungi, like aspergillus, can be extremely dangerous and lead to life-threatening diseases.⠀

They reproduce by releasing spores that can be picked up by direct contact or even inhaled. That’s why fungal infections are most likely to affect your skin, nails, or lungs. ⠀

Some common types of fungal infection include:⠀

• Athlete’s foot⠀
• Jock itch⠀
• Ringworm⠀
• Yeast infection⠀

A few ways you can avoid fungal infection is by:⠀

• Keeping your skin clean⠀
• Avoid using other people’s towels or products⠀
• Use products that are free of toxins.⠀
• Wear shoes at community pools, locker rooms, hotel rooms, etc.⠀

Have you ever experienced a fungal infection? If so, which one?

⁣Don’t let the prices of organic products drive you away from providing your body with the highest quality food ❗⠀

Being on a budget and eating organic is easier than you think ...⠀

Rethinking your budget is your first step. Once you have a game plan, buying wholefoods, prioritizing organic animal products, using the dirty dozen list, and buying in bulk are key. ⠀
