THINGS I LIKE,
I KNOW & LOVE

I bath in their products morning and night. My skin feels hydrated and has a glowy effect after use. I love to use the body oil as part of my lymphatic massage and dry brush routine.
I was looking for a supplement that had the right values of each vitamin needed without fillers that contain gluten. Provantage offers a whole food vitamin specific for those with Hashimoto's. Talk with your doctor about the potential benefits this could offer you.
I have been a fan of Herbivore for about 7 years now. Herbivore offers products with clean ingredients that are still effective. Instead of retinol I use their alternative that contains Bakuchiol. It has helped my skin tremendously throughout perimenopause.
Laundry Sheets have come to be know to have toxic chemicals and fragrances which disrupt our hormones. An easy switch has been wool laundry balls with a few drops of essential oils. My husband sends text telling me how great his shirt smells all of the time.

Swaps I made
These are items I have tested, use and enjoy. While I am not an affiliate for all of the items listed below, some I am affiliated with. (meaning I will receive a small commission if you purchase through the link.) I found something that works well for me and I don't gatekeep. Give them a try for yourself.
Rather than botox, I opt for more low-tox to natural alternatives for my skincare. I do get a kick out of the way I look doing face yoga on occasion. To help stimulate and tone my facial muscles I use Foreo Microcurrent. The Bear Mini does the job for me although there is a larger size.
Many deodorants disrupt hormones by containing endocrine disrupting chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, and aluminum, particularly estrogen and testosterone. This was the first product I began swapping out on my journey. I finally found a non-toxic deodorant that works for me.
As I have become more aware of environmental toxins I have been slowly transitioning our kitchen products to glass or stainless steel. Made In has been by far one of my favorite products. I purchase one at a time and my daughters are buying me pots/pans for gifts to complete my set.
Germs are everywhere and now days we are even more aware. I carry this with me everywhere I go. The packaging is refillable and sleek. It is made with natural fragrances, no dyes or parabens.
