Since our bodies (and hormones) react to everything we eat, drink, put on our skin, and inhale, I wanted to ensure that the place where we spend the majority of our time was a fertility-friendly environment. In our homes and everyday lives, we are all exposed to toxic chemicals through food, water, air, personal care products, beauty products, cookware, and household cleaning products. When these toxins build up in our bodies over time, they can increase the risks of infertility, miscarriage, and birth defects.
When we reduce our daily toxic exposure, we not only increase our chances of conception and supporting a healthy pregnancy, but we are also creating a healthier future for our unborn baby. Several studies have shown that umbilical cord blood generally contains almost 300 different environmental toxins! These toxins are linked to health conditions affecting kids, such as allergies, asthma, autoimmune diseases and autism. The great news is that studies also show that by doing things like changing from a conventional to organic diet, we can reduce our toxic load after only a few days of cleaner eating.
