Low-Tox Mindset

Sorry, no content matched your criteria.

It is totally possible to treat diaper rash, (and It is totally possible to treat diaper rash, (and in our case, help treat a fungal infection with zinc oxide — in addition to anti-fungal intervention) without compromising on the ingredients on the inactive side of the ingredient label. 

There are many zinc oxide diaper creams on the market, but most only have 10% concentration.

While 10% is great for creating a barrier between baby’s skin and moisture, it’s not effective for sever diaper rash or fungal infection. 

40% is ideal. 

*also, this isn’t a long term solution — we’ll be stopping the use of a 40% zinc once she’s all healed in a week or so. 

It took some digging to find a low-tox 40% zinc cream. I read A LOT of ingredient lists, but I found the one we are going to use! 

I’ve linked it on the database along with all of my other diaper rash creams and diaper care balms for all of my database users, but I’ll tell you here which one I found for our current issue: 

Pain in the Butt Maximum Strength Diaper Rash Cream by @tinyhumansupply 

It has 40% zinc oxide, just like the brand doctors will recommend without the Big Pharma, Oil And Gas byproducts included 🥴

You don’t have to compromise your baby’s health to help them heal. 

You have options. I hope this helps any other mama’s out there in our same predicament. 

And if you want access to the Low-Tox Database so you can shop for over 900 other low-tox recommendations of mine, you can comment or DM me the word DATABASE and I’ll respond with a 10% off code and link to buy.

Apps like these can be very helpful to beginners; Apps like these can be very helpful to beginners; years ago, I relied solely on the EWG's Healthy Living and Skin Deep Database to make safer choices. 

But through my education into ingredient safety, I've come to realize that these apps fall incredibly short.

So many accounts offer their recommendations to you based solely on what apps like the EWG or Think Dirty have to say without having a clue how to vet an ingredient list on their own.

These accounts mean well, but are they actually helpful if they can’t tell you why a product or ingredient isn’t safe? 

The Low-Tox Database has only products that I’ve personally vetted for ingredient safety. 

Relying on apps for recommendations invariably means some ingredients are getting a pass when they don’t deserve to — this is a recipe for greenwashing, and you deserve better. 

Access to the LTD is for your Lifetime, no annual or month-to-month recurring payments here. 

You can save 10% up front, and even make a commission on it when you recommend members of your community get their own access.

Healthy Hormones = Balanced Hormones Gone are the Healthy Hormones = Balanced Hormones

Gone are the days when women are told they have no control over their fertility, and IVF is the only solution for someone struggling to conceive. 

That narrative is FUNDAMENTALLY inaccurate. 

Your body is ALWAYS going to prioritize you and your life over that of a fertilized egg no matter how badly you want to be a mother. 

So, in order to get your body on board with your heart you must create safety from the inside out. 

That means… 

prioritizing balanced blood sugar levels so you’re not running on stress hormones

avoiding toxins so fake hormones aren’t mimicking your real ones, so your thyroid can function properly, so you reduce inflammation in the body that contributes to dysfunction on a cellular level

creating real safety in your body with less stress, and better nutrition so you’re promoting healthy ovaries/egg maturity, and a womb that is prepared to baby on your pregnancy journey. 

Helping you create a safe body that is prepared to conceive and carry to term a healthy baby happens inside my 6 week and 3 month 1:1 containers. 

Comment or DM me “I’m Ready” and I’ll message you with more information.

You ASKED, and now I’ve answered 😘 One of TH You ASKED, and now I’ve answered 😘

One of THE MOST requested recommendations since my last reel : Baby Wipes 

The ones I don’t recommend have ingredients that aren’t safe for baby’s bottom especially if the skin is irritated or broken due to rash —
🚩Ethoxylated ingredients, ammonium based compounds that generate nitrosamines and formaldehyde, harsh preservatives, known skin irritants, fragrance! 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Products you use multiple times a day, near such a sensitive area really need to be impeccable. 

To be honest, the world of baby wipes needs a massive overhaul! 

There are more brands I recommend listed on the Low-Tox Database, and TBH I saved the best options for those who have access to the LTD — gotta save the perks for my people! 

You can save 10% on LIFETIME access to the Low-Tox Database, an ever-growing, fully vetted database full of only truly low-tox/safer products by commenting or sending me DM with the word ✨DATABASE✨ and I’ll respond with a link and the code to save. 

🫶🏼For the brands shown here that I DO RECOMMEND: 

➡️Attitude
➡️Eco by Naty
➡️Natracare 
➡️Millie Moon
➡️Parent’s Choice (fragrance free)

40. Holy shit. I am grateful. I remember when I 40.
Holy shit. I am grateful. 

I remember when I turned 30, I felt powerful AF. 

40 feels a little less powerful mostly because these last few years have been the hardest I’ve faced. 

Having Tuula, leaving my career, growing into a new iteration of myself has been challenging on every level. 

I’ve doubted myself. 

I’ve created boundaries and goals and forced myself to meet them (as someone who always let herself off the hook, typically slipped into patterns of taking the easy route and having very little to show for it all in the end) this has been WORK. 

Being better than I was last week, last month, last year is what I’ve been working toward these last few years, and 40 gets to be the decade that starts the second half of my life. 

I hope to live beyond 80, but if 40 more years is all I get, then that’s more than enough time to become a person I can be proud of. 

I’ve always wanted to help people, to be in the kind of work that matters on a scale bigger than just myself. 

This is just the beginning.

Seriously, it’s tough out there. Just because Seriously, it’s tough out there. 

Just because it’s sold in stores does NOT mean the ingredients are safe for your hormones or not actually contaminated with carcinogens. 

Knowing what products are truly safe for you and your family can be overwhelming! 

Much of my content here, and my Low-Tox Database takes the anxiety out of knowing what’s safe and what isn’t, and this accomplishes 2 things:

1️⃣ you not wasting your money on greenwashed products masquerading as safer options when they aren’t. 

2️⃣ you feeling more confident, and less anxious about this whole low-tox lifestyle that you want to be living, but often feel too overwhelmed to actually do. 

I give you ✨BD✨confidence over what to buy from an ingredient safety perspective. 

My recommendations are never based on my personal FEELINGS despite what some people initially think. 

The work I’ve done to educate myself on environmental toxins and ingredient safety from a board certified toxicologist places me in a unique position to help you understand why some ingredients we are exposed to in our every day products are actually harming us. 

Follow along to keep learning!

So where are we being exposed to BPA in our every So where are we being exposed to BPA in our every day, normal lives? 

🧋Polycarbonate plastics 
🦷Dental sealants 
🥫Canned goods
🧾 Thermal receipt paper 

➡️Avoiding all plastic in order to avoid Bisphenols is not possible, but we can reduce how often we are eating and drinking from plastic containers.

➡️Not having dental work done isn’t really an option, so this may be a regrettable exposure. A biological dentist won’t be so quick to drill and fill, so finding one of them in your area is a good idea. 

➡️Avoiding canned goods and opting for glass jars or frozen options when possible is very doable. 

➡️Not accepting those receipts, or wearing gloves if you work with receipts is advised. More on this inside the free download to 10 Totally Free Low-Tox Habits to Start Now 

Exposure to BPA (and other bisphenols in the family) especially during pregnancy have been linked to 

negative impact on oocytes by altering chromosomes and reducing the amount of viable options

Reduced sperm quality 

Miscarriage

Early Puberty in girls 

Lower Birth weight 

Smaller head circumference 

Depression and Anxiety in children born to mothers with high amount of BPA in their urine during stages of pregnancy. 

Avoiding BPA isn’t impossible, it does take effort and attention, but with research as compelling as we have at our fingertips (✨check that last slide for sources) there is no reason not to practice avoidance as much as possible.

A lot more women would live a low-tox life if the A lot more women would live a low-tox life if the people around them didn’t bully them into apathy. 

If you take a look at the comment section of my most viewed reel, you will notice there is no shortage of bullies. But you’ll also see that I stand up to each and every one of them. 

And I want you to have that level of confidence in this lifestyle too.

The dermatologist and “skinfluencer” communities (and their loyal followers) are the biggest bullies when it comes to being anti-LowTox (especially as it concerns personal care products). 

Living a low-tox lifestyle isn’t just about OUR immediate families. Caring about these toxicants isn’t just about OUR bodies. 

When we care about these chemicals, and what we put on our bodies, we are paving the way for communities less fortunate, underserved and often ignored to have greater access to safer ingredients. 

Toxic ingredients in our products concerns the workers who have to handle these chemicals during manufacturing and transportation (hello East Palestine, OH).

They concern the consumer, particularly people of color who are disproportionately affected by these ingredients because of their limited access to safer ingredients. 

*Women of color bear the greatest burden since most products marketed to them are incredibly toxic. 

Caring about toxic ingredients concerns the neighborhoods where petrochemicals are manufactured: low-income, communities of color. 

Living low-tox is an environmental justice movement. It’s saying NO ONE deserves to be made sick by, or lied to about, ingredients and their safety because of some billion dollar brand’s bottom line.

So, next time someone tries to bully you into feeling silly for avoiding carcinogens, petrochemicals and hormone disrupting chemicals remember that this lifestyle isn’t just about preventing illness in your family, it’s about protecting people everywhere.

Some women just have it easy when it comes to conc Some women just have it easy when it comes to conception, but most of us do not get pregnant as easily or as quickly as we hope. 

And usually what’s happening is our bodies are not willing to prioritize conception when our cells are in survival mode, and silently (behind the scenes, ever so quietly) just trying to keep us alive. 

Even if you don’t struggle to conceive are you paying any attention the the toxic burden you are passing along? 

In today’s toxic soup world there is much we can avoid to give our children and grandchildren the advantages that will come in handy over the next few decades. 

Low-tox living isn’t about removing everything enjoyable, it’s about reconciling your non-negotiable must-haves with all the changes you are capable of making. 

If you want to conceive naturally you need balanced hormones, healthy eggs, and a low toxic burden. 

Helping you achieve those things are not an overnight fix, but they are attainable, and let’s be honest: McDonald’s fries 🍟 are delicious and you do not have to give them up entirely. 

Are you ready to explore the ways we can work together to get you the results you’re longing for?
