Curious what we all use for toothpaste here. I switched to a natural solution (https://vanman.shop/products/pre-order-vanmans-miracle-tooth-powder-mint-bone-2-oz) two months ago to fix nagging gum recession I've had for a year and a half and haven't looked back. My gums are nearly healed already... Sensodyne wishes they could do this.

Hi Everyone. I am wondering your personal take on seed oils (yes, a touchy topic to some). Without referencing any studies or backing up any of my claims with science (we can discuss this in the comments), anecdotally I avoid them like the plague. Half of my family is cursed w/ bad acid reflux, I am unfortunately lumped into that half. I notice that when I cut out seed oils, I experience little to no AR. I cook w/ Butter, EVOO and Avocado Oil and I get by fine.

Hello and welcome to my community! My hopes are to have open discussions about a range of topics related to non-toxic living. Including but not limited to... Dieting, Clothing, Toiletries, Cleaning Supplies, Social Media, and more. My question to you: what is one thing you are interested in learning more about here?

Great 30 min video from Sam Ovens I just watched on productivity. I guarantee you that by watching this it will give you tangible actions that will improve your productivity. In short, to become productive is to REMOVE DISTRACTIONS. These distractions may not be the most apparent though... e.g. cooking, cleaning, doing laundry... things that we have to do. However, these things can be batched all at once. Sam gives the example of going to the grocery store and meal prepping on Sundays (and if you make enough bread, hire a personal chef... I'm not there just yet). However, other distractions you are most likely aware of, such as social medias and notifications on your phone/computer. I have made strides into dampening these, such as deleting instagram and turning off notifications for ALL apps except messages/phone calls. Though there is still work to be done... Michael Phelps' to do list: 1. Wake Up. 2. Get in pool. Simple as that. By having distractions, the finite amount of energy we have is dissipated in 10 different directions. We should be honing that energy into one single direction (i.e. Michael Phelps & swimming) and you'll see, it WILL pay off. Those who win are focused individuals!

I think there is a good chunk of the population avoid Polyester, Nylon and other thermoplastics. This is GOOD! The less plastic we have rubbing against our skin the better, especially when it comes to workout clothes. The lesser known villain of the clothing world are the DYES that are present in nearly all clothing (cotton too). Alden Wicker, the journalist who investigated the 2018 Delta Airlines Uniforms that were giving flight attendants rashes, found that the dyes that are within our clothes can contain fungicides, pesticides, PFAS and more. Furthermore, just one article of clothing can contain up to 3000 (!) mystery chemicals we aren't aware of because there is no ingredient list for a shirt.
