As my friend Andie posted to her instagram stories the other day:
“One day you’re young, the next day you’re excited about your new water filter that removes microplastics”.
Oh, modern life! There comes a day when we all have to be willing to accept that we have to take steps to protect our bodies from the toxicity all around us. And don’t worry, I’m here to help. I’ve done years of testing and researching the best health-building products out there and I’ve rounded up some of my favorites for you here in one easy post. Enjoy!
Air Oasis Air Filters — If you do not filter the air in your home, your body becomes the filter and this can lead to toxic buildup in the body that leads to all kinds of health burdens from inflammation to mental health issues, gut issues, brain fog, and almost any symptom you could think of. My primary focus with air filtration is reduction of mold, bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Air Oasis makes two different types of air purifiers I have one of each in my home. I use the iAdapt in my bedroom and the IonicAir™ in my living room area. Use my link www.airoasis.com/megcrocketthealth and my code “MEGCROCKETTHEALTH” for 5% off of a IonicAir™ UV Purifier or iAdaptAir Small.
Clearly Filtered Water Filter - I buy jugs of distilled water and run it through this filter to remove microplastics. If you have any health issues at all and you are not drinking distilled water — I would start today. Professionally speaking I recommend distilled water above any and all expensive filtering systems. It is consistently what tests for the least amount of contaminants. Then I simply remove the plastics from the water containers by running it through this filter. This is also a fabulous filter for tap water itself — I just wanted to let you know exactly what water I drink. I don’t have a code for you for this filter yet, but keep supporting this little blog here and maybe someday they will give me one!
Branch Basics — This is just an amazing, clean, multi-use brand for cleaning, hand soap, laundry detergent, and even dishwashing. It’s so clean you can even use it to wash your produce. If you’ve never used it before, I recommend starting with their “Starter Kit”. Use my referral link to get $10 off your order: http://branchbasics.refr.cc/megcrockett.
To prevent mold growth in high moisture areas such as the bathroom - run a dehumidifier. I don’t have a discount for this, but I’ve been using that one for years! You want to keep the humidity in your home below 50%. This will not kill mold, but it helps prevent growth.
When shopping for home supplies it helps to simply shop somewhere that is curating the least toxic options out there. I get all of my shelf stable and many of my household goods such as nontoxic sponges, candles, toilet paper, personal care items, and foods from Thrive Market because they truly have the best deals and some of the cleanest brands around. Get 40% off your first order using my link: http://thrv.me/PWeag5 .
And one last tip. When I think about home, I also think about personal care. A great place to start on clean personal care game is get a nontoxic deodorant. We do so much detoxing through our sweat. EO Deodorant actually works and at $6.49 a pop, the price is unbelievable for something so clean, that works so well. Trust me — I’ve been in the nontoxic product game before Goop was even a website. I have tried it ALL. And this actually works. I promise!
Cheers to a healthy Spring, friends!
