The Never List: Shifting Your Toxic Load One Lipstick at a Time
with guest Jennifer Nottingham
Episode 11: Show Notes.
Most of us probably don’t spend too much time thinking about the chemicals in our skincare products, but did you know that what you put on your body is as important as what you put in it? Today’s guest, Jennifer Nottingham, is on a mission to help others lighten their toxic load. After struggling with hormonal health, Jennifer has found what works for her and wants to share what she has learned. In this episode, we discuss the importance of advocating for your own health and how Jennifer uses Western and holistic medicine practices to honour her needs. We then learn more about toxic load and some of the astonishing side effects of toxin overexposure and bioaccumulation. Jennifer also sheds light on the policy and regulation side of personal care products and why the industry is so unregulated. Realistically, it is not possible to get rid of all harmful chemicals, but there are some small steps you can take to see significant changes. Jennifer shares which personal care products you should try to swap as soon as you can, along with the ingredients we should all be avoiding. To hear more, tune in today!
