Yes, chlorine can kill pathogens and bacteria in the water, but it’s also killing all the good bacteria on your skin’s surface, leading to skin issues including acne, eczema, and dry skin. A study carried out in Hartford Connecticut, the first of it’s kind in North America, found that, “women with breast cancer have 50% to 60% higher levels of organochlorines (chlorination byproducts) in their breast tissue than women without breast cancer. Another common chemical found in tap water is chloramine (a mixture of chlorine and ammonia) that has, not only been linked to skin problems, but also a weakened immune system, respiratory issues, digestive problems, and is extremely detrimental to those with kidney issues. If you’re bathing your children or taking your own baths, make sure to use the shower faucet to fill up the bath or buy the Bath and Shower Filter from Omica that removes both fluoride and chlorine.

I’m also feeling (mostly) free from all of my old limiting beliefs that were holding me back from achieving what I want in life. If you’re in the gym doing the same things day in and day out, and not challenging yourself, you’re not getting stronger. If we’re overweight, lethargic, not working out, and eating unhealthy foods, we’re doing that because that’s what we’re choosing to tolerate. , I don’t have time, I’m too old, I have too much going on right now, I need more protein, I can’t survive on salads, I have no energy because of this or that chronic illness, etc.

It’s the world’s largest natural, organic and healthy products event, where brands release their new products and product lines. It’s a jam packed weekend full of free samples, networking, snacking, snapping photos/videos and blisters…so many blisters! For a Natural Products Expo, there sure was a ton of junk food being disguised as health food. There were a number of companies there that I already love and rave about, but I wanted to share some new brands and products that you will be hearing a lot more about in the coming months.

I still am eating a mostly plant-based diet, but I do want to make sure that the animal protein I am eating is of the highest-quality – organic, pasture-raised, free of hormones/antibiotics/drugs, and fed it’s natural diet. * Pasture-raised animals are lower in overall fat, lower in Omega-6 fats, higher in Omega-3 fats, and higher in CLA – making them more heart-healthy. US Wellness Meats has a wide range of grass-fed beef, pasture-raised poultry, duck, organ meats, wild seafood, bone broths, fats, and even snacks. A wide range of meats, organ meats, and broths, as well.
