Hi, I’m KRISTEN!
I am passionate about empowering parents to make healthy choices for themselves and for their little ones
When I was diagnosed with multiple unknown and autoimmune conditions, traditional doctors couldn’t help me get better. Testing revealed my body’s load of BPA, mold, glyphosate and other environmental toxins. Empowered with this information, I was able to improve my health. I went from fearing I may die of unknown illness to a few years later having a healthy pregnancy and my first child.
Babies are more vulnerable than adults to toxin loads because of their small body mass, quick growth curve, and their sensitive skin. Babies don’t have the ability to make decisions yet for themselves. Parents who want to reduce their babies toxin exposure should be empowered with the information to do so.
My Approach
SELF-EDUCATION
Increasing self-awareness about where chemicals are hiding can help you make informed decisions when purchasing products. While this can help reduce toxin exposure, it is important not to overanalyze and be realistic about what to expect from certain products.
ACTION
Once you understand what materials are best to shop for, it’s important to contact companies who don’t provide enough information and urge companies away from using toxic chemicals in their products. Use your consumer power to support companies you believe in. While it may not be possible to reduce chemical exposure completely, we can work to reduce it.
COMMUNITY
We are all connected. Approaching purchasing products with toxicity in mind can help you reduce toxicity for your baby, but also for the workers and employees producing these products. Finding like-minded parents who support a healthy lifestyle can lead to an improved longer term outcome of maintaining an informed and healthy lifestyle for your child.
