When you reheat last night’s leftovers, make sure phthalates are not your main ingredient. You are likely aware that certain chemicals used to manufacture various types of plastic are harmful for the environment and your health. They also mess with your metabolism. Even companies that don’t typically manufacture “green” products have been offering BPA and phthalate free items for some time but there are also other chemicals in plastics that are just as important to stay away from.

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of Plastic Free July. It began in Western Australia and has grown to over 3oo million participants around the globe. If you are concerned about climate change, implementing some of the tips I share in this episode will help you reduce your plastic use which will make a difference for our beautiful planet.

I love the smell of Coppertone… brings back fond memories of my childhood. Oooh and baby oil… my girlfriends and I would slather that stuff all over our bodies in hopes of achieving that deep dark California tan. If we only knew! Not only were we damaging our skin but that pleasant smell of Coppertone is a highly toxic synthetic fragrance which is just one of the harmful ingredients you'll find in conventional sunscreen.

I'm often asked which clean sunscreen I recommend. Fortunately, there are several excellent nontoxic sunscreen options that work well without being a gooey mess or leaving a white film on your skin. This week I’m sharing my favorite brands including the sunscreen that my kids like.

You'll also hear which ingredients you do NOT want in your sunscreen. Even several mainstream western doctors now admit that the chemicals found in most brands are dangerous. They are also horrible for marine life. They are killing the coral reefs! When you choose clean sunscreen you take a step toward protecting your health and protecting the environment.

“… some sunscreens are known to interfere with hormone action… could plausibly increase the risk of various cancers”

What is clean beauty? Lotions, potions and makeup that don't contain harmful ingredients? Absolutely but it's more than that. Clean beauty is a crucial pillar of holistic health. We all have signature products we feel we can’t live without but do you know what's actually in your favorite products?

After one night going down the research rabbit hole, homeopathic practitioner Julia Edgely was shocked to find a bevy of research about the adverse effects of ingredients found in our personal care and beauty products. This discovery led her to become a passionate clean beauty advocate incorporating it into her practice. The truth is, your body responds to tiny doses of these toxins.

As Julia points out, when you adopt a clean beauty routine, not only are you supporting yourself and your family, you are supporting the environment. If you honestly care about climate change, you will take clean beauty seriously.

We go deep on many aspects of clean, holistic beauty and wellness including:

This week we are talking about one of my favorite topics, intermittent fasting! Why is it a topic I love? Because it is a seriously effective method to lose weight, end dreaded weight fluctuations and have incredible energy all day long. 

You've probably heard how great it is for weight loss but it might surprise you to learn that it can truly enhance your beauty leading to better skin, hair, nails, and more. Beauty from the inside out. It also offers several phenomenal health benefits, it's amazing. Laurie Lewis of Fast Forward Wellness, Certified Coach, specializing in Intermittent Fasting shares her insights and experience with intermittent fasting and how it literally changed her life by resolving her menopausal issues and 50 pound weight gain.

If you’ve thought about trying it but have resisted because you fear it will be too hard or you’ll starve, it’s actually much easier than you think and it’s not about starvation! After you hear my fantastic conversation with Laurie, you will be highly intrigued and motivated to give it a try. Our bodies need a rest and recovery period from digesting food in order to run at an optimal level for cell regeneration, fat burning and disease control. However, it must be done properly to be effective.

If you want to learn more about intermittent fasting and how to get started successfully be sure to sign up for my free masterclass. And if you want personalized customized help in losing weight, managing stress and reducing your toxic load enrollment for my next group program is open (see below)!

If you shop at Whole Foods, Sprouts, Target or Walmart you have likely seen these wonderful fair trade products on the shelves. It is one of the first clean lines that I tried back when I first began my green journey and it remains a favorite. You'll find Alaffia products all over my home! Even my family likes them which is saying something because my boys resist my eco freako ways.

Not only is Alaffia making high quality clean, earth conscious skincare accessible, CEO & Founder, Olowo-n’djo Tchala, a Togolese native is making a powerful impact on a global level for social justice shaping the future of business, sustainability and philanthropy. He has been empowering and giving back to communities in West Africa for nearly two decades through the fair trade of indigenous resources and community empowerment projects.

Alaffia is a sterling example of social responsibility from every aspect. This is seriously one of the most meaningful conversations I have had on Clean Beauty Scene. We discussed many important issues.

Creating a sustainable economy and providing jobs for women in Togo is one of Olowo-n’djo's top priorities. Alaffia has directly improved the lives of over 250,000 individuals in Togo. Proceeds are returned to communities in Togo to fund community empowerment and gender equality initiatives, such as maternal health care, education, reforestation and regenerative agriculture. Olowo-n’djo explains how the ingredients they use benefit and nourish your skin but also how they are ethically sourced and why that is incredibly important. You are going to learn a lot from this conversation, I know you'll enjoy it and be inspired.
