我一直试图过一种低毒的生活，但当我决定要成为一名父母时，这对我来说变得至关重要。对我和我丈夫来说，怀孕并不是一件小事，经过几年的自然受孕尝试，我们最终来到了试管婴儿诊所。
作为一名自然疗法医生，我发现这很难忍受，因为我相信我可以通过我的教育和经验解决我们的生育问题。事实证明，在某些情况下，医学是唯一的解决方案。
我能控制的是我身体的健康，所以我自己承担起责任，确保尽我所能为我们未出生的孩子的成长提供一个健康的“容器”。我阅读了所有关于环境毒素和生育力的研究，并改正了我的行为。
虽然我肯定不是低毒生活的“大师”（我将把这个问题留给Alexx Stuart ），但以下是我 10 年前在生活中所做的一些改变，以及今天的生活。
显然，这是一个相当广泛的建议清单，我不希望有人立即将它们付诸实施。我认为，了解家中毒素的来源是过低毒生活的良好开端，这对您和地球的健康都有好处。
一如既往，我随时为您解答任何问题，请随时给我发电子邮件。
祝您身体健康，
As much as I would love everyone to just empty the contents of their beauty cabinet and start fresh, it’s not practical or affordable for many. So given that one of the most common questions I get asked is ‘where should I start when transitioning to organic skincare’, I wanted to lay out my recommendations.
When going organic, I think it’s good to know not only what to start buying but why. That way you can make informed decisions and know that you’re heading in the right direction.
Lying in bed at 3am, desperate for sleep for come over me, is not how I expected to be spending my Thursday nights. But this is how it seems to be at 45. I’m hot, I’ve taken Panadol about 3 hours earlier to no avail, and I’m hearing every animal noise outside my window (which on other nights I would have slept through). I hate this.
When my skin looks and feels good, I feel amazing. But this is not as easily achieved as I get older. The decrease of hormones available in my body in my current state of perimenopause plays a huge factor in how well my skin stays hydrated and how it looks. Progesterone and oestrogen play many roles in the skin’s health, in particular the stimulation of skin sebum (the skin’s natural oils), the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid (which keeps skin thick and plump), and the stability of the skin’s barrier (which affects skin sensitivity, amongst other things).
