4 Essential Home Must-Haves for Thyroid and Hormone Health
Did you know that the products you use around your home can impact your thyroid and hormone health?
The reality is in todays world, products that are being sold contain endocrine disrupting chemicals that can contribute to poor thyroid, hormone, and immune system health.
Environmental toxins are one of many root causes of thyroid and hormone imbalances, fertility issues, and autoimmune conditions.
Make swaps in your everyday products around your home can make a huge difference in lowering the burden of toxins in your body.
Here are 5 ways to get started lowering your toxin load in your home:
1. Air Doctor Pro Air Purifier | Save up to $300 with link
Why is having a high quality air purifier is important?
Mold, Volatile Organic Compounds (from toxins found in our home), and other contaminants found in our indoor environment can throw off your thyroid, hormones and immune system.
Benefits for Hashimotos:
Air Doctor Pro captures 100% of airborne particles as small as 0.003 microns in size for: mold, dust,viruses, bacteria, pollen, smoke, viruses, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s).
I keep mine in my room and it helps me breathe and sleep better at night. It comes with a carbon filter (lasts about 6 months), a Ultra HEPA Filter (lasts about a year), and a pre-filter that goes over the carbon filter (you can wash and vacuum over it to allow for longer use).
2. Aqua Tru Water Filtration | Up to $150 off with link
Why our water matters:
Unfortunately our water supply is filled with toxins. Fluoride, pesticides, heavy metals (arsenic, lead etc.), chlorine, PFA’s are just a few toxins our drinking water is filled with which can wreck havoc on our immune system and thyroid health. Click here to check the contaminants found in your local water supply.
Benefits of the Aqua Tru for Hashimotos:
Uses reverse osmosis to filter out over 83 contaminants including lead, chlorine, nitrates, PFA’s, and fluoride (things the thyroid and immune system isn’t a fan of)
Having this in the convenience of my house has saved me a ton of money from having to buy water at the store.
3. Branch Basics Non-Toxic Cleaning Starter Kit | 10% off with code: Rassp10
Why do cleaning products matter + why do I choose this brand over others?
Chemicals in most of our cleaning products today contain harmful ingredients known to cause thyroid, immune, and reproductive harm. Many claim to be “safe” by using unregulated terms like “Eco friendly” or “green” etc, which really means nothing in terms of toxicity for hormone health. Many also contain the word “fragrance” which is sneaky word for chemical nightmare.
Benefits for Hashimotos:
Plant and mineral based
Fragrance - free
MADE-SAFE Certified ( ensures no harmful thyroid disrupting chemicals are allowed)
Not tested on animals
Non-GMO
I love how the starter kit lasts a really long time because the water bottles are refillable with the concentrate. I also use these as a floor cleaner to mop my floors with. The concentrate is so safe that you can even wash your fruits and vegetables in it!
Makes a great gift for anyone who wants to clean their home without the chemicals.
