Things you may not know about vegetable oils:

1️⃣ Vegetable oil (and not saturated fats) have been shown to cause heart disease

2️⃣ The majority, over 90%+, of vegetable oils (canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, grapeseed oil, or rice bran oil) are GMO. GMO foods can contain glyphosate. Glyphosate is an endocrine disruptor and a probably carcinogen, a cancer causing chemical

3️⃣ Vegetable oils are highly processed and oxidize. Consuming oxidized oils has been studied to show that it causes damage to brain cells, lead to inflammation, and increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease

4️⃣ Canola oil is high in Omega 6. When our body intakes too many Omega 6 and not enough Omega 3’s, it can promote many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases

5️⃣ Anytime you eat out you can assume they are using vegetable oils because they are cheap and neutral flavored.
 As you can see, they are very inflammatory. Olive oil, avocado oil and coconut oil are all healthier and safer options, providing health benefits too. We use all three in our home when cooking and baking as well as ghee, tallow and grass fed butter.
 Did you know this about vegetable oil? Questions? Leave them below!

P.S. I’m doing a follow up post showing foods we buy that we don’t realize canola oil is hiding in.

Let me introduce you to my new favorite bra. It’

Let me introduce you to my new favorite bra. It’s supportive, comfortable and good for my health. How can a bra be good for my health? First, no underwire. Second, all materials in the bra have been tested for harmful substances and are proven to be harmless for human health. They screen for substances like pesticides, chlorine bleach, and formaldehyde.

You might not think about the chemicals in your bra and underwear too much, I didn’t either until more recently. But, it’s something to consider since the materials we wear are touching our body most, if not all, of the day. And what touches our skin can get absorbed into our bloodstream.

News recently broke about popular sports bras containing 22x the recommended amount of BPA. BPA is really bad for our health (see my IG post). Just as food is sprayed with pesticides, so are the materials we wear, cotton is a crop after all. And like most industries in the US, we are sorely lacking in regulation products for safety.

After hearing on a podcast how thoughtfully made @vibrantbodycompany bras are, I did a free virtual bra fitting with bra master Heidi Lehmann (you can do one too!). I’ve been wearing my bra all the time since and just bought a second one. The fit is amazing, no more gap up top. I love their tank tops too, so so soft.

If you want to try Vibrant Bras, you can use TESSA15 + my link that’s in my bio to get 15% your entire purchase!

(Not) so fun fact: 2x-5x more chemicals are found

(Not) so fun fact: 2x-5x more chemicals are found inside our home than outdoors. This is alarming considering in general we spend 90% of our time indoors.

As we start to spend even more time inside with the days shortening and the weather chilling, now is the perfect time to improve your indoor air quality.

One of the best ways to improve indoor air quality is to stop using artificial fragrances in your home. Artificial fragrance is classified as a carcinogen, a cancer causing chemical. Lowering our exposure to them is an important step in lessening our body’s toxic load.

Luckily there is no need to compromise on your favorite fall scents and there are many great safer options! All of the swaps here use essential oils instead of artificial fragrance.
 Room sprays - Swap Glade, Bath & Body works for Grow, Primally Pure or Fontana
Candles - Swap pretty much any candle you find for Natural Sloth, Fontana Candle Co, Adobe
Plug Ins - Swap Glade, Bath & Body Works and Air Wick for Scent Fill or organic essential oils like Rocky Mountain Oils

P.S. In my bio I have discount codes for @natural_sloth and @primallypure
