I wrote about this in my most recently published book.
Did you know that it takes 26 seconds for the chemicals to enter into your bloodstream? Most commercial personal care products are full of endocrine disrupting chemicals that wreak havoc on our hormones. On average women use 9 personal care and cosmetic products per day and this can add up to a mixture up its about 126 different hormone disrupting chemicals and add this to the toxins you’re exposed to each day when you got out into the world. Over 1000 of these ingredients have already been banned in Europe but not here in the United States where our FDA has only banned 11 of those ingredients in our personal care products.
What if I told you that most diseases have an underlying ROOT cause? That YOU aren’t some random number picked by nature to have an Autoimmune Disorder, Hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s, Cancer, high blood pressure or Alzheimer’s. There is a link between the changing human–nature relationship and its impact on people’s health. Think of your genes & nature a computer program.
What is put in is what is created out.
No wonder our bodies are completely bombarded and overwhelmed with the constant exposed to toxic chemicals through the air that we breathe, the water we drink, the foods we eat, the personal care products and cleaning products we use.

Based on the World Health Organization’s definition. “Combining these concepts, the human–nature relationship and its impact on human’s health are then explored through a developing conceptual model”.
What is being said is our body is heavily influenced by the world around us.
(It is a combination of everything.)
Our environment we live in, the foods we consume, our daily movement, our mental health (stress) and what was passed down from us from both parents.
Have you ever said something or looked into the mirror and felt as if you were turning into your mother or your father? Perhaps you noticed a certain expression in the mirror, a side snap of a photo or maybe you heard yourself saying something you swore you’d never say to your kids.
Don’t worry although we do inherit both genetic weaknesses from both of our parents and you do inherit your mother’s gut and lymphatic systems health that is only one part of the equation.
Have you heard of gene mutation? It’s when the cells are changed by chemicals they are either damaged, lost or copied. These processed foods that are full of man-made chemicals, fluoridated municipal tap water, genetically modified foods, refined oils, herbicides like roundup, Artificial sweeteners, Vaccines and the yearly flu shot – often contain mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and MSG, Pharmaceutical medications and a lot of the Pharmaceutical medications are loaded with fluoride, OTC (over-the-counter) medications for colds, allergies, headaches and fever – often contain heavy metal toxins, artificial sweeteners and toxic industrial-based food dyes. Let’s not forget to mention the over use of antibiotics, antacids, aspirin, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) which completely change the environment in our gut.
It’s not enough to be aware of all the outdoor chemicals that we are exposed to everyday but inside our homes we can have more power and control. We have to be more aware about using chemical cleaners, paints, glues, body lotions, toothpastes, underarm deodorants, hair products and pesticides. Instead start to begin to use products that don’t pollute our very own bodies.
We must do our own research, make our own products or be a smarter shopper and start reading labels. I can’t stress this enough. We have to get back to the basics. We must take a stand for our health.
The commercial products that are laced with hidden, unknown and harmful body damaging ingredients.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers 60 percent of herbicides, 90 percent of fungicides, and 30 percent of insecticides to be carcinogenic, and most are damaging to your nervous system as well. In fact, these powerful and dangerous chemicals have been linked to numerous health problems such as:
Neurotoxicity and Parkinson’s disease
Disruption of your endocrine system
Carcinogenicity
Immune system suppression
Miscarriages, male infertility and reduced reproductive function
This information should make you rethink when you are considering whether to buy local, organic vegetables or not.
Our bodies have no way of adapting to these GMO and food like substances that we’ve been consuming. Every cell in your body is wrapped in a membrane of half fat and half protein. If you are constantly feeding these cells unnatural fatty acids, that membrane cannot function like it is designed to do and disease starts at the cellular level.
Think of your genes as a blueprint for your body.
If there’s a change to these instructions, it can sometimes increase your odds for developing diseases.
Therefore, we must be more aware of the foods we eat and the drinks we drink, the medications we take, the chemicals we allow ourselves to interact with which also includes our body, our home (house cleaners, weed killer, etc.) and environmental agents plus our overall mental wellbeing.
It is a combination of everything.
