104. Detoxify Your Home

Speaker: 00:00:15

on, everybody.

Speaker: 00:00:15

Welcome back to the elemental oven show.

Speaker: 00:00:17

Thank you all so much for tuning in.

Speaker: 00:00:19

Once again, on this mini Monday episode today, we are going to be

Speaker: 00:00:22

talking about detoxifying your home.

Speaker: 00:00:26

This is a very important one, obviously, because we spend a lot of times in a

Speaker: 00:00:30

lot of time in our houses, especially now being that a lot of people are

Speaker: 00:00:34

able to do some remote work, which is amazing because we do not have to

Speaker: 00:00:38

travel as far and waste time doing so, but that means that we really

Speaker: 00:00:41

need to make sure that our homes are.

Speaker: 00:00:43

Are beneficial for us, right.

Speaker: 00:00:45

Beneficial for our families and everyone that is underneath the roof.

Speaker: 00:00:49

So we are going to really get into a few good topics today

Speaker: 00:00:53

on detoxifying your homes.

Speaker: 00:00:55

But before we do that, we're going to take a moment to talk about

Speaker: 00:00:58

detoxifying our bodies, right?

Speaker: 00:01:00

And my favorite way, personally, of detoxifying my body, or at

Speaker: 00:01:04

least my blood is definitely through the use of chlorophyll.

Speaker: 00:01:09

And so chlorophyll is very, very high in chlorella.

Speaker: 00:01:13

Kayla as well as spirulina.

Speaker: 00:01:15

Okay.

Speaker: 00:01:15

Chlorophyll is essentially the thing that gives plants, its green pigment.

Speaker: 00:01:19

But it is very good at cleansing the blood and purifying it and removing

Speaker: 00:01:24

heavy metals and toxins from the blood.

Speaker: 00:01:26

So that is why every single day, I like to start my day off with some form of

Speaker: 00:01:31

chlorophyll, whether that is in the form of literally just chlorella and

Speaker: 00:01:34

spirulina, which I get from energy bits, or if it's through Organifi green

Speaker: 00:01:39

juice, which also has chlorella in it.

Speaker: 00:01:41

And I believe they also have spirulina in it as well.

Speaker: 00:01:44

They are the two most concentrated foods in the world.

Speaker: 00:01:47

In terms of chlorophyll, obviously eating green plants is going

Speaker: 00:01:52

to do this for you as well.

Speaker: 00:01:53

And just eating plants in general can be detoxifying, but.

Speaker: 00:01:56

But nonetheless, this is a really easy way for you and I to detoxify

Speaker: 00:02:01

our bodies every single day is to just get a high dose of this core

Speaker: 00:02:04

field, first thing in the morning.

Speaker: 00:02:05

So.

Speaker: 00:02:06

First thing, I always drink some water.

Speaker: 00:02:09

Maybe it has a little bit of lemon or even some salt in it

Speaker: 00:02:12

to give it some added minerals.

Speaker: 00:02:14

And I use very high quality salt.

Speaker: 00:02:16

But I follow that up usually with some form of chlorophyll.

Speaker: 00:02:21

And so, like I said, it's either through energy bits and their

Speaker: 00:02:24

tablets or through organic.

Speaker: 00:02:26

And I highly recommend that you do the same as well.

Speaker: 00:02:28

Uh, however you get the chlorophyll into your body is not really of

Speaker: 00:02:32

concern, but just as long as you're doing it and making sure that is a high

Speaker: 00:02:36

quality soil source of chlorophyll.

Speaker: 00:02:38

Is what's going to be most important, which is why I obviously trust

Speaker: 00:02:41

both of these brands and I highly recommend them to you as well.

Speaker: 00:02:44

Organify they, you know, third party tests, all of their products make

Speaker: 00:02:48

sure that they are glyphosate free.

Speaker: 00:02:50

They're obviously organic and just some of the highest quality products.

Speaker: 00:02:54

And you get a 20% discount code just for being a listener of the show.

Speaker: 00:02:58

If you go to the show notes and click on their link for Organifi.

Speaker: 00:03:03

There will also be a code right there that gives you 20% off your entire order.

Speaker: 00:03:08

So you can go ahead and get more than just the green juice, but I

Speaker: 00:03:11

highly recommend the green juice.

Speaker: 00:03:12

It tastes delicious, which is really hard to do because I've had a lot

Speaker: 00:03:16

of green juices that are not so tasty, uh, to say the least, but.

Speaker: 00:03:21

I highly recommend this green juice for both its taste and

Speaker: 00:03:24

its efficacy and its purity.

Speaker: 00:03:26

It is a great form and way to get chlorophyll into your body.

Speaker: 00:03:31

First thing in the morning, or you could go the other route with energy Bates,

Speaker: 00:03:34

which I also have a discount code for all of you, just for being a listener.

Speaker: 00:03:38

Once again, it's in the show notes and you will see the discount code right

Speaker: 00:03:41

there for 20% off your entire order.

Speaker: 00:03:45

So go ahead and detoxify your bodies.

Speaker: 00:03:46

That is a good place to start, but then we need to move in to the household, right?

Speaker: 00:03:51

Because obviously we can clean ourselves from within, but if we are

Speaker: 00:03:54

not in a good environment, eventually toxins will get back into our body.

Speaker: 00:03:59

And they will wreak havoc.

Speaker: 00:04:01

So my favorite ways to detoxify a home are to first start off.

Speaker: 00:04:06

And this is probably the most common thing I see in every household.

Speaker: 00:04:11

Is synthetic fragrances.

Speaker: 00:04:14

People love to have candles.

Speaker: 00:04:15

Don't get me wrong.

Speaker: 00:04:16

I love candles as well.

Speaker: 00:04:17

I have quite a few of them in my house, but all of my candles are typically

Speaker: 00:04:21

based off of beeswax and coconut oil.

Speaker: 00:04:24

Okay.

Speaker: 00:04:24

I really try to stick to those two.

Speaker: 00:04:26

Those are some of the cleanest burning ones personally.

Speaker: 00:04:28

And on top of that, I make sure that all the candles I purchase.

Speaker: 00:04:33

Are using real fragrance, right?

Speaker: 00:04:36

They are using things like essential oils to create their scent.

Speaker: 00:04:40

They are not using these synthetic fragrances or, um, I believe.

Speaker: 00:04:45

Oh, I forgot the term, but it's something of in terms of being a perfume.

Speaker: 00:04:50

And what that means like a synthetic fragrance for example, is that it is

Speaker: 00:04:54

actually petroleum-based typically, which is really freaking bad.

Speaker: 00:04:58

Obviously, we do not want to be releasing this petroleum

Speaker: 00:05:01

into the air every single day.

Speaker: 00:05:04

So.

Speaker: 00:05:05

Typically, what I like to do is I like to spend a little extra on the

Speaker: 00:05:08

candles to make sure that a, they smell really good, but B that they

Speaker: 00:05:13

don't have any synthetic fragrances and, you know, they S they can use.

Speaker: 00:05:18

Essential oils, whatever kind of fragrance that you can think of that are more

Speaker: 00:05:22

natural based and they smell incredible.

Speaker: 00:05:24

Uh, it's just cheaper to produce them with the synthetic fragrances and a lower.

Speaker: 00:05:30

Uh, quality medium for the candles.

Speaker: 00:05:32

Now I know candles are amazing.

Speaker: 00:05:34

They can make your household smell amazing.

Speaker: 00:05:37

But personally, if I were you, I would switch over to a much cleaner form

Speaker: 00:05:41

of a candle or even an essential oil.

Speaker: 00:05:44

A diffuser.

Speaker: 00:05:45

Those are going to be the top two things to use, or even

Speaker: 00:05:49

you could use some incense.

Speaker: 00:05:50

You can burn some incense in the house as well.

Speaker: 00:05:53

Those three things are going to be really great for making

Speaker: 00:05:55

your house smell incredible without having all that toxicity.

Speaker: 00:05:58

You know, being released into the air and then, you know, obviously being

Speaker: 00:06:01

breathed in by you, which is just not going to be good for the lungs and the

Speaker: 00:06:05

health and the air quality of your house.

Speaker: 00:06:07

So.

Speaker: 00:06:08

Moving over to those things is going to be key.

Speaker: 00:06:10

And on top of that, if you see those little Glade plugins or

Speaker: 00:06:14

anything like that, that is 100% synthetic fragrance, 150000%.

Speaker: 00:06:20

And what those synthetic fragrances are also going to do is they're

Speaker: 00:06:22

going to be hormone disruptors.

Speaker: 00:06:25

Okay.

Speaker: 00:06:25

So.

Speaker: 00:06:27

If you are dealing with hormonal issues, which actually all, a lot of people

Speaker: 00:06:31

are dealing with hormonal issues.

Speaker: 00:06:33

We are having, you know, our hormones thrown out of whack men's

Speaker: 00:06:36

testosterone levels are extremely low.

Speaker: 00:06:38

Women can experience, you know, really high estrogen.

Speaker: 00:06:41

They can be having PCO S.

Speaker: 00:06:43

Uh, a variety of things.

Speaker: 00:06:45

And I can promise you that these synthetic fragrances are not helping.

Speaker: 00:06:49

They're actually doing much more harm.

Speaker: 00:06:51

Now, this is also going to leak over into your beauty care products,

Speaker: 00:06:56

which are really unregulated.

Speaker: 00:06:58

Now I am not going to get too deep into this because Wednesday's

Speaker: 00:07:01

episode is going to be amazing.

Speaker: 00:07:03

It's going to be on ovarian health and I am super excited for this one.

Speaker: 00:07:08

And I will also dive in to our self care products and.

Speaker: 00:07:13

Why it is so bad to be applying the synthetic products onto our skin and

Speaker: 00:07:18

what it can do to the hormones, but for this episode, Just understand

Speaker: 00:07:22

that synthetic fragrances and most of the beauty care products out

Speaker: 00:07:25

there are very, very bad for you.

Speaker: 00:07:28

So switching that up is going to be key for balancing your

Speaker: 00:07:31

hormones or at least keeping them from getting thrown out of whack.

Speaker: 00:07:35

So that's going to be the first thing.

Speaker: 00:07:37

Getting rid of the synthetic fragrances.

Speaker: 00:07:39

Now this also falls over into household cleaners, right?

Speaker: 00:07:43

There's a lot of household cleaning items that have synthetic fragrances and

Speaker: 00:07:47

also they have really harsh and harmful chemicals in them, which obviously

Speaker: 00:07:53

can clean countertops quite well.

Speaker: 00:07:55

But what is that doing to your lungs?

Speaker: 00:07:58

And on top of that, we live in too clean of a society.

Speaker: 00:08:02

Sometimes, you know, when we're putting hand sanitizer on at all times, Throughout

Speaker: 00:08:06

the day, constantly washing our hands.

Speaker: 00:08:09

Your body actually has bacteria and viruses all over all the time.

Speaker: 00:08:14

And really what's happening is when you are exposed to these bacteria

Speaker: 00:08:19

and viruses, your body has to learn to respond to them and to become

Speaker: 00:08:23

strong and fortify your immune system.

Speaker: 00:08:26

So while I'm not saying to, you know, go dip your hands in some

Speaker: 00:08:29

manure and then cook some food.

Speaker: 00:08:32

I am saying that you don't need to be.

Speaker: 00:08:34

Necessarily as you know, antibacteria and, and viruses, as you know,

Speaker: 00:08:41

we all are being right now, you can actually relax a little bit.

Speaker: 00:08:44

Um, keep your house clean.

Speaker: 00:08:45

I'm not saying to not do that, but when you do clean, what I am saying

Speaker: 00:08:49

is to move to a cleaner, cleaner,

Speaker: 00:08:53

So literally something that is better in terms of the

Speaker: 00:08:56

quality of ingredients, right?

Speaker: 00:08:58

So we want to get rid of these chemicals, get rid of these synthetic

Speaker: 00:09:01

fragrances and move over to, you know, in terms of household cleaners,

Speaker: 00:09:05

vinegar is an incredible cleaner baking soda can be incredible.

Speaker: 00:09:08

Um, certain essential oils are naturally antibacterial like lavender.

Speaker: 00:09:12

Um, and I believe.

Speaker: 00:09:14

Might be eucalyptus or peppermint as well.

Speaker: 00:09:17

Uh, don't quote me on those ones.

Speaker: 00:09:18

I know LA lavender is 100% though.

Speaker: 00:09:21

So, you know, you can literally get a spray bottle, pour some water,

Speaker: 00:09:25

put a little, a bit of vinegar in there and a little essential

Speaker: 00:09:29

oil, maybe some baking soda.

Speaker: 00:09:30

If you wanted to go that route as well.

Speaker: 00:09:32

And that is going to be a much cleaner, cleaner for your

Speaker: 00:09:36

countertops for all surfaces, really.

Speaker: 00:09:38

And on that note, um, Dave Asprey actually has a few cleaners as well through his

Speaker: 00:09:43

company home biotic, which kind of leads me into the next topic, which is mold.

Speaker: 00:09:48

Mold is.

Speaker: 00:09:50

Very very bad for our health.

Speaker: 00:09:52

And it is in a lot of houses without even knowing it.

Speaker: 00:09:57

A water can wreak havoc on a house, obviously.

Speaker: 00:10:00

And when water, for example, if there's a leak in a pipe in the walls, or, um, if

Speaker: 00:10:05

you live in a very humid area or if you shower and you just never allowed the.

Speaker: 00:10:10

You know, humidity to escape that room.

Speaker: 00:10:13

The chances are there's going to be mold in that area.

Speaker: 00:10:16

So.

Speaker: 00:10:17

Using cleaners like home biotic, which is a product of Dave Asprey.

Speaker: 00:10:23

Is a great idea.

Speaker: 00:10:24

He actually has developed this bacteria that is a good bacteria.

Speaker: 00:10:28

And after you clean the area that might have mold, you can then spray the home

Speaker: 00:10:33

biotic on there and it will actually eat the mold and the bad bacteria.

Speaker: 00:10:38

It is really an incredible product.

Speaker: 00:10:40

Um, I have it myself.

Speaker: 00:10:41

I haven't really been able to test it out on mold and see, you know, over

Speaker: 00:10:45

a couple of weeks, like what happens.

Speaker: 00:10:47

But nonetheless, it is an incredible, at least idea.

Speaker: 00:10:51

And I would highly recommend doing that if you live in a very humid area.

Speaker: 00:10:54

A place that is really prone to moisture, or just naturally

Speaker: 00:10:58

has a lot of mold growing.

Speaker: 00:11:00

And the reason mold is so bad for you.

Speaker: 00:11:02

Uh, I can.

Speaker: 00:11:03

Tell you that Dave Asprey will blow your mind in terms of how bad it is for you.

Speaker: 00:11:09

But to just give you an idea, like it can really cause a lot of allergic

Speaker: 00:11:12

symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, itching, coughing,

Speaker: 00:11:16

and like even actually allergies.

Speaker: 00:11:19

Uh, it can cause difficulty breathing, headaches, fatigue.

Speaker: 00:11:23

Uh, it can also, I believe, mess with your hormones and Dave Asprey, I think

Speaker: 00:11:26

was saying that it not only was terrible for his testosterone levels, but it

Speaker: 00:11:31

also really impacted his weight gain.

Speaker: 00:11:35

So.

Speaker: 00:11:36

Making sure that our houses are mold-free is a very good idea.

Speaker: 00:11:40

So a few ways to do it are obviously through the home

Speaker: 00:11:43

biotic product to get rid of it.

Speaker: 00:11:46

Keeping your windows open a little bit more to allow some fresh air

Speaker: 00:11:51

to come through the house and kind of clear out all the stagnant air

Speaker: 00:11:55

and also dry out the house as well.

Speaker: 00:11:57

You could even, for example, by certain air, um, Well, I guess

Speaker: 00:12:03

you'd call it an air freshener, but, uh, like an air purifier.

Speaker: 00:12:06

Sorry, not freshener.

Speaker: 00:12:07

Uh, an air purifier, they have specific ones designed actually

Speaker: 00:12:11

for mold and mold prevention.

Speaker: 00:12:14

So looking into those could be a really good idea as well.

Speaker: 00:12:17

And since I'm here on the topic of air quality, I also would highly recommend

Speaker: 00:12:22

that you get a few plants in your house.

Speaker: 00:12:24

The reason having some plants in your house is a good idea is because

Speaker: 00:12:28

they obviously release oxygen.

Speaker: 00:12:30

Right?

Speaker: 00:12:30

And so there are certain plants that are, you know, very specifically good

Speaker: 00:12:33

at releasing high levels of oxygen.

Speaker: 00:12:35

So those could be good ones to have in your room.

Speaker: 00:12:38

Like I believe the snake plant is really good at that.

Speaker: 00:12:40

Um, there's also certain plants that are just really good at, uh,

Speaker: 00:12:43

purifying the air in your house.

Speaker: 00:12:45

So looking into a few of those would be a really great idea to help

Speaker: 00:12:49

purify the air quality in your house.

Speaker: 00:12:52

And help you to breathe better.

Speaker: 00:12:53

This can literally help out with seasonal allergies, asthma,

Speaker: 00:12:57

all of those kinds of symptoms.

Speaker: 00:12:59

So.

Speaker: 00:13:00

Those are going to be.

Speaker: 00:13:01

The main things is getting rid of your synthetic fragrances,

Speaker: 00:13:05

whether that's in your beauty care products, your household cleaners.

Speaker: 00:13:09

Um, you know, candles, whatever it may be.

Speaker: 00:13:11

Uh, we really want to remove those because of its ability to disrupt our hormones.

Speaker: 00:13:16

And then we also want to make sure we are cleaning out any mold that could

Speaker: 00:13:21

be accumulating in our house and doing everything possible to prevent the

Speaker: 00:13:25

growth of mold because of the impact that it can have on our health, in

Speaker: 00:13:29

terms of our hormones and also weight gain, headaches, fatigue, all of that

Speaker: 00:13:35

stuff that I was mentioning earlier.

Speaker: 00:13:37

And last but not least is the air quality, which like I said, you can do air

Speaker: 00:13:42

purifiers as well as, you know, cracking the windows here and there to kind.

Speaker: 00:13:46

Move the air in the house and also have some house plants that are really

Speaker: 00:13:50

good at purifying the air, or even giving off a lot of oxygen to improve

Speaker: 00:13:55

the quality of the air in your house.

Speaker: 00:13:58

So that is how, if I were you, I would detox my house and it is things that I

Speaker: 00:14:02

try to do on the regular, in my own house.

Speaker: 00:14:05

For example, I do not purchase synthetic fragrances in pretty

Speaker: 00:14:08

much any product that I use.

Speaker: 00:14:10

And, you know, in terms of mold, I do my best to clean up

Speaker: 00:14:13

with the home biotic product.

Speaker: 00:14:15

The next step for me would be to get the air purifier.

Speaker: 00:14:18

And in terms of air quality, I have a lot of plants in my house and I do tend

Speaker: 00:14:24

to keep windows cracked to kind of allow some air flow when I'm here at the house.

Speaker: 00:14:28

And.

Speaker: 00:14:29

Yeah, that's essentially the main things that I do to detoxify my house and keep

Speaker: 00:14:35

it as healthy for both myself and Ashley, and also keep it smelling fresh and good

Speaker: 00:14:40

and feeling like a homey place to be so.

Speaker: 00:14:43

Anyways, I hope these tips helped you.

Speaker: 00:14:45

And hopefully this was not too long of a Monday mini episode.

Speaker: 00:14:49
