How to Drive Your Lower Tox Fertility Journey
Navigating Red, Yellow, and Green Lights
Consider framing your lower toxin fertility journey like a traffic signal – a simple yet effective way to navigate the path toward a healthier lifestyle. By assigning colors to your choices, you can better understand and embrace your unique journey towards fertility. Here's how it works:
Red Lights: These are the absolute no-gos, the things you never want to use. They are the toxic culprits that you should steer clear of. What falls into this category might vary from person to person. For me, it includes using lower tox shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste, skincare, makeup, even when traveling. It's all about making a commitment to these choices, no matter where I am.
Yellow Lights: These are the things you might use occasionally, without stressing too much. Think of them as the occasional indulgences or compromises. When traveling or dining out, I might choose conventional hand soap if my hands are dirty or foods that might be cooked in s33d oil or t0xic cookware. These are moments when a bit of flexibility is acceptable.
Green Lights: These are your comfort zone choices, the things you're happy to use all the time. This is where you're in your element and feel confident. On my journey, green lights represent the products and habits that align with my lower toxin lifestyle, even when I'm on the go. For instance, always carrying a water bottle with water from home when I'm out and about locally.
It's crucial to understand that your red and yellow lights might not be the same as mine or anyone else's. The beauty of this journey is the empowerment it brings. You get to decide what you buy, what you put on your body, and what you surround yourself and your family with. It's about becoming an informed and empowered consumer.
Keep in mind that the goal isn't to strive for 100% control over your environment. Attempting to do so can lead to stress and an unnecessarily toxic atmosphere for your body and mind. We all know that consuming fast food every day is a bad idea, but if you want to enjoy it once in a while, that's entirely your choice. It's about making better choices most of the time, reducing your toxic load, and being mindful of the accumulation effect that toxins can have on your body.
So, as you embark on your lower toxin fertility journey, embrace the reds, yellows, and greens that make sense for you. Remember, it's a personalized adventure, and the destination is a healthier, more mindful, and empowered you.
