Here are the five most toxic items in your kitchen you may want to rethink!

1️⃣ Nonstick Pans – They might make cooking a breeze, but did you know nonstick pans often contain PFAS chemicals? These "forever chemicals" don’t break down, can seep into your food, and have been linked to serious health issues over time. If you cook regularly with nonstick, consider healthier alternatives like cast iron or stainless steel.

2️⃣ Keurig Machines – That quick cup of coffee could come with a side of microplastics! Many Keurig and single-serve coffee machines use plastic components, meaning hot water passes through plastic before reaching your cup. This process can release microplastics directly into your drink. A French press or stainless-steel pour-over is a much cleaner way to enjoy your coffee!

3️⃣ Air Fryers – While they’re super popular for “healthier” frying, most air fryers use nonstick Teflon coatings that release toxins when heated. The compounds in these coatings, called PFCs, can end up in your food and the air you breathe, potentially impacting your liver, thyroid, and even increasing cancer risk. Safer options? Look for ceramic or stainless-steel alternatives to keep those unwanted chemicals out of your meals.

4️⃣ Tap Water – Surprising but true: standard Brita filters don’t catch many of the harmful contaminants in tap water. A high-quality filter is essential for safe water at home! Reverse Osmosis is the gold standard for home purification—it removes nearly everything (yes, even the minerals). For minerals, just add a liquid supplement to your cup. If you want a deep dive on this, let us know in the comments!

5️⃣ Plastic Cutting Boards – Every slice on a plastic cutting board means a bit of plastic can end up in your food. Over time, this can add up to the equivalent of ingesting about 12 credit cards’ worth of plastic each year. Opt for wooden or bamboo cutting boards for a safer, eco-friendly alternative!

🌱 Making small changes in your kitchen can have a big impact on your long-term health! Swap these toxic items for safer options, and don’t forget to follow us for more tips on creating a healthier home.

Addressing the cause of your #autoimmunedisease will allow your body to function properly and do what it's supposed to do: fix itself!

That is how you make the symptoms go away. If you start by treating the symptoms first, you're not addressing the cause, and the cycle of sickness will never end.

#fibromyalgia is a symptom.
#depression and #anxiety are symptoms.
#constipation is a symptom.
#memoryissues and #brainfog are symptoms.
#migraines are a symptom.
#guthealth issues are a symptom.

🚨 This will blow your mind! 🚨 Listen up to what Joel Salatin has to say about how backyard chickens could shake up the entire egg industry – and potentially make it obsolete. In this clip from his conversation with Joe Rogan, Salatin breaks down the power of local food systems and what a simple change could do. Just look at the example he shared:
A city in Belgium launched a unique initiative, offering three free chickens per household to any family interested. Over 2,000 households took up the offer – that’s 6,000 chickens in one city! 🐔 The results? The city reduced food waste going to landfills by a massive 100 TONS in the very first month. Plus, these families suddenly had their own fresh eggs at home, without needing to buy from the store.
Imagine this on a larger scale – Salatin suggests that if just 1 in 3 households in the U.S. had enough chickens to handle kitchen scraps, the egg industry could become completely unnecessary! That’s the revolutionary impact of rethinking food systems and decentralizing food production. 💥
If you’re curious about regenerative farming, organic food systems, and making small choices with big impacts, Joel Salatin is your guy. He’s written over 15 books and done countless interviews, including with Joe Rogan. Just search ‘Joel Salatin’ on YouTube to dive deeper into his powerful ideas on holistic health, sustainable farming, and community-driven food solutions.
What do you think? Could this backyard chicken movement really change things? 🐓🥚

Did you know that some of your favorite foods have incredible health benefits?

Avocados are rich in potassium, which can help lower blood pressure and support heart health. They’re also packed with healthy fats that are great for your brain.

Peppermint is a natural remedy for headaches and migraines. Its menthol content helps relax muscles and ease tension, providing relief when you need it most.

Dark chocolate, especially varieties with 70% cocoa or higher, is loaded with flavonoids that can improve blood flow to the brain, enhance cognitive function, and boost your mood. Just a small piece can make a big difference!

Cucumbers are mostly water, making them excellent for hydration. Placing cool cucumber slices on your eyes can reduce puffiness and dark circles, thanks to their anti-inflammatory properties.

Sweet potatoes are a powerhouse of beta-carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A—a vital nutrient for good vision and glowing skin. Their high antioxidant content also helps fight aging and reduce inflammation.

Ginger is well-known for its ability to combat nausea, whether from morning sickness or motion sickness. It also promotes healthy digestion by stimulating saliva, bile, and gastric enzymes.

And let’s not forget honey—nature’s sweet medicine. It's highly effective against coughs due to its antimicrobial properties and can speed up wound healing by promoting tissue repair and reducing infection risk.

Remember, these natural remedies are powerful, but always consult your healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet or health routine.
