Eating mostly organic (especially the dirty dozen) is a step in the right direction as we eat everyday. Another great step in reducing the chemical storm that is all around us, is avoiding chemicals in our skin care products! Some of these chemicals are known hormone disrupters, and in my practice, I see that this is a main problem in the majority of my clients. There are so many things that we can not change, why not change the things we CAN? Read this short article below to learn the 4 Big Bad chemicals in skin care products that you want to avoid! http://www.organicauthority.com/delicious-beauty/4-big-bad-beauty-ingredients-to-avoid.html Eliminating wheat will make you lose weight! Period! I see it time and time again in my practice in Vancouver. But what happens if letting of the weight stops, when there's clearly more to shed? Well, there can be other clinical conditions impeding your ultimate success. Dr. William Davis - author of Wheat Belly - a National bestseller on the merits of eliminating wheat for shocking permanent health improvements - has an excellent blog that I recommend following.

Most people have several bottles of perfume. One thing that you may not know is that most perfumes are laden with harsh chemicals. So you're paying a lot of money to smell good with poison. An alternative to that is to build your own perfume, naturally. You can use essential oils of your choice to mix and match and form your own unique fragrance.  For the most part, people are now aware that what you put in your body effects your health. Hence the big movement towards organic foods. What seems to be lagging behind is the knowledge that what you put ON your body, you put IN your body. In the forms of soaps, creams, tanners, makeup, etc. All of these product's contents are absorbed through the skin and need to be processed by the body as anything else entering the body. Think about prescription hormones that are applied topically! In this article David Suzuki outlines "The Dirty Dozen" when it comes to the toxic chemicals in everyday used products. Know what you're putting in your body and choose responsibly! http://www.davidsuzuki.org/publications/downloads/2010/DSF-report-Whats-inside-that-counts.pdf When you know better, you do better! | Dr. Moyer Naturopath Vancouver
