and a few might surprise you...
- plastic tupperware + “non-stick” cookware which has toxic ingredients, micro-plastics, and chemicals that can leech onto food. stick with glass when you can.
- synthetic based candles contain estrogen-mimicking chemicals (which can also be found in our beauty products). choosing candles with a soy base and fragranced with essential oils is best.
- too much caffeine. we’re hiking up our cortisol, disrupting our natural sleep cycle, shifting our blood sugar, the list goes on. 1-2 cups a day max please.
- skipping healthy fats. your hormones thrive on fats and are BUILT by fats and proteins! don’t give into the non-fat foods just to save calories - save your hormones instead.
- consistent blue light exposure. this disrupts our melatonin production and can throw us off our circadian rhythm.
