Let’s be part of Maggie. Maggie, welcome. Thanks for being right here.
Maggie: Thanks a lot for having me.
Katie: I’m excited to talk as a result of I’ve met you in actual life, however I’m excited to get to dive in and have an precise dialog and report it. And I wanna discuss lots concerning the useful drugs world and a few specifics inside that. However as we soar into that, I feel possibly a two-part query could be, I’d love to listen to how you bought into useful drugs and the story of how earlier than that you simply jumped into freezing Lake Erie for a Twinkie.
Maggie: Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. So, gosh, the freezing Lake Erie for a Twinkie. So let’s begin with the useful drugs aspect of issues. I received into useful drugs in my younger 20s. I truly had a large well being crash. I used to be bloated on a regular basis. I used to be drained on a regular basis, and with these sort of signs, I sort of simply handled it. However all of the sudden there was this one second the place I began swelling and that’s truly what sort of received me to concentrate. My legs had been swelling up. My physique was swelling up. I began getting tons of weight in a really quick period of time with out…I didn’t do something totally different. I simply was gaining weight and bloating up, you understand? In order that’s what sort of dove me into useful drugs as a result of with these signs, I went to conventional medical docs to strive to determine what was occurring, and I actually was a standard nurse practitioner on the time from Vanderbilt. My mother’s a pharmacist, so like very conventional primarily based.
However I used to be going to those docs, Katie, they usually had been simply not answering me. They had been telling me my labs regarded regular at first regardless that I’m standing there and I’m like, “I’ve gained 30 kilos in two months and I really feel like crap. Nothing’s regular. Like one thing is happening.” They usually had been simply sort of dismissing me. After which what occurred is that then finally they might ship me to those totally different specialists. So the, you understand, my basic practitioner would ship me to the endocrinologist, after which the endocrinologist would say it was cardiology, after which he would ship me to the immunologist. And I used to be simply seeing all these specialists and nobody was serving to. And it was truly one in all my aunts who on the time was seeing a useful practitioner who instructed me about useful drugs.
I had by no means heard of it. I didn’t understand it existed. So I actually in my younger 20s went right down to my laptop and he or she was like, “Simply Google it.” And I Googled useful drugs and that’s actually what began it in any respect. I enrolled into the Institute for Purposeful Drugs selfishly simply to heal my very own physique. After which as soon as I healed my physique, I reversed the whole lot occurring in my well being complication, in my story. Then, I knew that this was the mannequin I wished to be aligned with going ahead. I wished to assist folks on this extra useful, pure mannequin versus the standard mannequin I had grown up in.
Katie: Yeah. I really feel like lots of people have some similarities to that story. I do know I did with what ended up for me being thyroid points till I resolved them and being instructed by docs the whole lot is regular and the way irritating that’s if you’re like the whole lot is completely not regular, however the mannequin doesn’t account for a few of these extra underlying circumstances that useful drugs is skilled to take a look at. I’d love to listen to a bit of bit extra about what ended up truly sort of being the unresolved problem for you and what steps helped.
Maggie: Sure. So truly thyroid was an enormous complication for me and even beforehand, which is absolutely essential to notice, like, my mother knew one thing was sort of occurring even once I was in highschool as a result of I didn’t have durations. So I didn’t have my cycles till I used to be about 17 years outdated and at the moment, they had been medically induced. I used to be placed on the tablet. So clearly, one thing was not going proper in my physique. And we had checked my thyroid ranges again in highschool, however since they had been “regular” or suboptimal, they didn’t do something about it. So regardless that I used to be having these signs, I used to be chilly on a regular basis. I used to be hungry on a regular basis. I used to be consuming a lot, however not like gaining weight. I used to be simply by no means full. I had evident signs that had been ignored and sort of dismissed approach again even in highschool, approach earlier than this occurred.
So finally when this did occur, the issues that I used to be identified with had been primarily hypothyroidism and PCOS. These had been the 2 core issues. And, after all, as lots of you could know, when your physique goes, you understand, not proper and issues are occurring, you’ve gotten all these signs, different techniques begin to be impacted. So the hypothyroidism, the PCOS had been the core issues from again within the day, however then I ended up having intestine issues. I had H. pylori, E. coli, that are bacterial overgrowths in my intestine lining. I ended up having a kidney nearly just about failure. My kidney was shutting down. My immune system utterly shut down. I had zero immune antibodies and immune system. So truly, my docs instructed me that I might be on IV remedy the remainder of my life simply to assist my immune system. So all of those different issues began, however on the core, it was actually hormonal-related, each thyroid hormones in addition to intercourse hormones.
Katie: Which is sensible as a result of if hormones are out of whack, such as you stated, that impacts each space of the physique. And I’ve stated that earlier than too. You’ll be able to’t out-diet or out-supplement. In case your hormones are out of whack and also you’re gonna be combating a dropping battle as a result of your hormones will win till you take a look at the hormones and assist them. I do know additionally from studying quite a lot of your work, you discuss lots about irritation. So I might love to listen to how irritation suits into this puzzle and why that’s such a key piece.
Maggie: Yeah. You already know, early on once I began my useful drugs follow and I might discuss my story, folks would at all times ask, like, “What was the one factor you probably did?” And it’s tough to reply that query as a result of there’s actually not one factor. You already know, on the core of those well being issues, it truly is irritation on the root and it may very well be irritation from the lotion you’re placing in your physique. It may very well be irritation from the stress that you simply’re placing in your physique, possibly psychological stress. For me, that was quite a lot of indecisiveness that really prompted, like, severe psychological stress in my life in addition to physiological stress. So toxins in your meals, in your physique. So it may very well be that. It may very well be irritation coming from something, proper? Your meals that you simply’re consuming like I simply talked about or simply no matter it’s.
So what occurs within the physique is as irritation builds up, all of those different well being issues have a chance to current themselves whereas on the flip aspect, if we are able to de enhance irritation, what we are able to do is assist the physique heal itself. So regardless of what’s going on, whether or not you’ve gotten a thyroid complication like myself and also you or possibly you’ve gotten rheumatoid arthritis or possibly you’re simply tremendous fatigued on a regular basis and unsure what it’s, for those who scale back irritation, your physique can have extra vitality to rebalance and repair no matter it’s that’s occurring in your life. So it’s a very good reply to noticeably something that you simply’re fighting. In the event you scale back irritation, it’s going to assist that complication.
Katie: That is sensible. Additionally, earlier than we preserve occurring this path, I do wanna hear the Twinkie story simply as a enjoyable story.
Maggie: Okay. So I used to be not at all times health-oriented, proper? Kinda, however that is only a story approach again when one time I used to be dared. My dad dared me on trip to leap into Lake Erie and it was freezing chilly. It was not summer time for a Twinkie. And I did it. I jumped off the dock into like crashing waves Lake Erie for a Twinkie. And I can’t imagine that I did that, however sure, that’s one thing that occurred.
Katie: And also you had been forward of the development. Now, ice baths are all the trend and everybody’s getting them of their homes.
Maggie: Proper. Who knew? I used to be truly being wholesome and useful for myself. I’m keen on consuming the Twinkie.
Katie: A minimum of you counteracted the Twinky with the chilly water.
Maggie: Yeah.
Katie: Okay. So again to the subject of irritation, this undoubtedly appears to be a recurring theme, and an increasing number of research sort of are pointing towards this connection. And I like that the holistic useful world seems to be in any respect the items as an alternative of like your specialist attempting to isolate, nevertheless it additionally looks like a fairly large factor to deal with. Like, it’s nice after we are like, “Okay. I’ve irritation. How can we fight that? Like, what can we do when somebody realizes that is a type of items for me?”
Maggie: Yeah. You already know, I at all times inform folks that you simply don’t must do all of it, proper? Like, meet your self the place you’re. In the event you’re like me, I sort of did all of it at one time. As soon as I discovered this data, I used to be like, “I’m finished.” I threw away all of my make-up and my family merchandise and I attempted to essentially dwell a non-toxic way of life, however you completely would not have to. A very good instance is definitely one in all my sisters, she chooses one factor per yr to deal with, only one. So I feel final yr it was deodorant. So she dedicated to final yr discovering a wholesome deodorant that works finest for her that she’s going to swap out. And through the years and over time, you’re going to begin to dive right into a more healthy way of life that reduces irritation. So take it step-by-step. And within the ebook, in my ebook, “Eat Proper for Your Irritation Sort,” I actually define the totally different areas that you might deal with and I encourage you to choose what it’s for you, what one factor are you able to do even this yr that can assist to scale back your irritation. And take it step-by-step.
Katie: And I do know, in particularly the useful drugs world and for all of us, the whole lot may be very individualized and customized. So there’s gonna be a special reply to that for each individual, however are there, out of your expertise with purchasers, some commonalities which might be actually good beginning factors for those who’re gonna attempt to like 80/20, like these would transfer the needle essentially the most at first?
Maggie: Sure. I might say that the very first thing is definitely mindset. You already know, I sort of argue between meals and mindset, however in case you are consuming actually wholesome however your mindset continues to be actually poisonous, it’s not going to work out. And the identical factor is for those who’re maintaining a healthy diet nevertheless it’s from a spot of worry or punishment and your mindset’s not on level and also you’re not hopeful which you can heal, it’s not going to work out. So these two sort of go hand in hand. So the meals that you simply eat could be the primary factor after which combining that together with your mindset round that meals, no diets, no restrictions, no yo-yoing, actually simply nourishing your physique and considering each single day what are you able to add to your vitamin, to your meal, to your smoothie, to your drink, no matter it’s, what are you able to add that can assist to spice up your vitamins, assist to heal your physique, and rebalance no matter is happening.
So I feel that that’s just like the very first minimal factor if someone goes to make any adjustments in life, that or not it’s on vitamin and mindset and actually simply simplifying issues, lowering packaged items, lowering the chemical compounds that you simply’re consuming. And fortuitously, at present, there are such a lot of choices on the market for you that even when it’s like, oh, you’re hooked on, you understand, onion rings, there are more healthy choices for onion rings on the market, otherwise you actually love Starbust. Cool. Get the more healthy model of the Starbust. In order you make these wholesome swaps, you’re nonetheless consuming the factor, however you’re lowering irritation due to the ingredient content material and the nutrient content material in that merchandise.
Katie: Yeah. That makes a lot sense. And I feel you’re proper. Like, I do know within the mindset shift myself, I didn’t notice the significance of that as a result of I used to be doing all the like checklist-y issues first and attempting to love deprive myself of issues or like get very regimented. And once I stopped attempting to battle my physique and punish it and began studying to adore it and settle for it and work with it, all of these shifts received a lot simpler as a result of I wished to do them. And I feel that possibly is an typically missed step, particularly when you’ve got a well being situation otherwise you’re attempting to drop pounds and also you’re identical to annoyed with your self, it’s straightforward to get in that loop of like sort of being mad at your self or like, ” Why can’t I do that?” And no less than for me, I realized if you’re asking these sorts of questions, your thoughts goes to reply these questions.
So for those who’re like, “Why can’t I do that? Why is that this so laborious,” your thoughts is like, “Oh, properly, listed here are all the explanations it’s so laborious, so it’s best to simply cease.” And whereas for those who like can shift that mindset even slowly, that makes such an enormous distinction. And to your level of including issues, I like that as a result of I feel typically folks get overwhelmed and assume, “I would like to vary the whole lot,” or, “That is gonna be so costly.” And it’s like for those who can simply construct little habits which might be truly pleasing like getting outdoors if you first get up to get pure gentle or consuming water very first thing within the morning to sort of refuel your physique after sleep, like these little steps that don’t value something can actually add up and provide the motivation to maintain going and sort of that concept that like we regularly assume, “Oh, I would like motivation in order that I can take motion.” However typically these little actions are what convey you the motivation, to start with.
Maggie: Sure. I couldn’t agree with that extra. And I used to be in that very same boat too. At first, I used to be attempting to observe all of those totally different diets, and guidelines, and restrictions. And I had a guidelines for myself and I even would write down like once I tousled, proper, or like “tousled.” And it was simply so poisonous that once I stopped that, and I truthfully simply awoke and centered on how can I nourish my physique at present, and no guilt, disgrace, or fear if I selected one thing totally different and simply going daily, I feel that, you understand, you simply nailed it. Every little thing that you simply simply stated is precisely why I healed. It wasn’t as a result of it was a sure food regimen. It wasn’t as a result of I switched out my air filter system. These issues helped me, however what finally helped me heal most was loving my physique, honoring the place I used to be, and giving myself grace via the method realizing that that is going to be a journey. It’s not going to occur in a single day. You already know, it’s not dangerous that it occurred, proper? Like truthfully, I look again and I’m sort of glad it did as a result of it led me to the place I’m at present and be in a very, actually good place with residing on this fashionable world whereas nourishing my physique and, you understand, actually residing a vibrant, wholesome life.
Katie: Yeah. Completely. I feel that shift is the one I want I might like reward folks if it had been doable, nevertheless it’s that journey of doing it ourselves and in addition that mindset of realizing… I do know once I was within the thick of it considering like, “Oh, my gosh, I have to make all these adjustments for the remainder of my life.” However the fantastic thing about it, the physique is so resilient. Typically, it’s essential be extra possibly cautious in a brief time period however that the physique adapts over time. And I discover now I’ve far more leeway in what I might eat and what I work together with with out having any sort of response. So I additionally inform people who, like, your physique can heal and it will get simpler on the opposite aspect. This is sort of a short-term focus.
Maggie: Sure. Completely. And it’s, proper? I can…whereas prior to now, if I might eat one thing… I imply, I’ll always remember one time I used to be sitting at my boyfriend on the time, he’s now my husband. I used to be sitting at his mother’s home and I used to be attempting to be wholesome as a result of I knew that I used to be having these things occurring. I used to be consuming natural, gluten-free tortilla chips with natural hummus, proper? However for some cause, my meals intolerances, my physique, my intestine lining wasn’t having it. In order I used to be consuming this, I might bodily really feel my physique begin blowing up. By the top of that day at his mother’s home, I regarded 15 kilos heavier. My face was so swollen and it was horrible. In fact, now I can exit and eat pizza and beer and be completely superb. I’m not joking as a result of I’m not doing it on a regular basis and my physique is so constructed up and resilient that it may possibly deal with these hits. And so there’s undoubtedly a lightweight on the finish of the tunnel if you do heal your physique which you can benefit from the issues that you simply possibly wish to get pleasure from. You’ll be able to eat that piece of pie at Christmas with out worrying that you simply’re going to be what I name meals hungover for the following 5 days. And so there may be gentle on the finish of the tunnel when you get previous the preliminary actually deep therapeutic of your well being.
Katie: And for individuals who possibly are resonating together with your story and in addition possibly being instructed by docs that the whole lot’s regular and having bother getting solutions, do you’ve gotten any recommendation for good beginning factors for them for how you can advocate for themselves or how you can discover sources that can truly assist them uncover what they should begin with?
Maggie: Yeah. Effectively, the very first thing to know is that you simply care essentially the most about your self. So quite a lot of these docs, even the useful drugs docs, even the integrative drugs docs, on the finish of the day, like they’re seeing lots of or 1000’s of individuals, so you actually need to take management of your personal well being, proper? Use them as guides, as coaches, as mentors, as assist however on the finish of the day, it’s as much as you. So for those who’re not proud of the care you’re being given, even for those who don’t agree with the care you’re given, for instance, one time I noticed a useful drugs supplier, the very first go to, they handed me a PDF booklet. It was already made. They don’t even know what’s occurring in my physique. They handed me this booklet of the food regimen to observe and explaining leaky intestine and the complement protocol is already printed off. They offer it to each one who comes within the door. And that was a useful drugs supplier. That’s not individualized care. I don’t agree with that. I knew that I didn’t wish to observe a strict food regimen. That was not individualized to me earlier than they even know something about me. So if that occurs to you, even when this was somebody extremely advisable to you and also you don’t be ok with it, it’s as much as you to make a change. It’s as much as you to stroll out of that workplace, to not return, and to hunt totally different solutions.
So I feel the very very first thing to do for those who’re on this well being journey and also you’re annoyed is to know that it’s as much as you and then you definitely get to resolve, “Okay, what’s the following step?” Are you going to…? I imply, I used to be fairly dramatic. I realized useful drugs from, like, an precise establishment to actually heal my very own physique. You would not have to do this. Possibly it’s merely studying a ebook that basically resonates with you, proper? You already know, possibly it’s merely becoming a member of an internet webinar or summit occurring and taking notes your self and seeing what works finest in your way of life and beginning to implement that or hiring a special individual, a special coach, marketing consultant, or practitioner that basically speaks to you. I feel that that’s the perfect subsequent step for anybody who’s going via this journey.
Katie: That’s… Yeah. Nice recommendation. And I do know one other consideration for this that turned very top-of-mind for me and truly is quite a lot of the rationale I received into the well being world is the consideration of our children and what they’re dealing with and the way irritation is power even in children now. And I do know you’re a mother as properly, so I’d like to sort of discuss the way you deal with irritation in your children and the way that appears virtually of their day-to-day life as a result of additionally for all of us who had well being issues and resolved them, such as you stated, very grateful truly for it now and in addition, I want to preserve my children from having to stroll that very same journey if doable. So I’d love to listen to the mother aspect from you.
Maggie: Yeah. Oh, my gosh. That is one thing I’m so obsessed with most likely much more than what my very own life proper now’s the kiddos. So what I do may be very versatile in my kids’s lives. So I’m not… You don’t stroll into my home and it’s like good, pristine, nothing poisonous, no sweet. However what we do is we do the more healthy swaps. So, for instance, if we’re going to eat, I don’t know, ice cream, I’m getting the dairy-free sugar, free natural ice cream. So I’m comfortable I’m serving to them to have swaps of their life and truthfully, they don’t even know the distinction, proper? As a result of quite a lot of instances these meals are simply pretty much as good they usually simply don’t know totally different. However then after we are from a meals perspective, after we are out at a restaurant, for instance, once I can deal with the state of affairs I do. For instance, my child, she has no concept what I’m feeding her. So I’m ordering her if we’re out in a restaurant, steamed veggies, steamed rooster, you understand, no butter oils, and so on. She doesn’t know the distinction whereas my 4-year-old, he sort of does.
His cousin’s ordering a grilled cheese, he desires a grilled cheese. And that’s superb. So I don’t put any disgrace or guilt on that. I make it thrilling. That is so enjoyable. Did you get pleasure from your lunch? And never making him really feel responsible for that selection. However then after we’re at residence, you understand, possibly we’re having a grilled cheese however we’re making it with more healthy elements. So it’s a very superb stability. After which the issues that they don’t know, I completely take management of. For instance, all of them drink out of glass. Even our new child child’s like straight out of glass, we do all natural bedding. Like, they don’t have a clue, however that’s me deliberately lowering their irritation for them in an space that they don’t care about. Even quite a lot of our toys are non-toxic toys. They don’t know the distinction. They’re nonetheless having a lot enjoyable. So I’m actually controlling the issues that I can after which permitting them flexibility and a very good relationship. I would like them to have a very good relationship to meals, to non-toxic residing wholesome residing as properly.
Katie: Yeah. I feel you’re proper. The mindset piece is so essential, particularly with the children too, and particularly ranging from a younger age. And there are these straightforward ones that I feel are so sensible of like something they’re gonna do anyway like sleep, simply make the sleep setting as clear and pure as doable. They’re gonna eat and drink, so simply make the way in which wherein they’re doing that as straightforward as doable. However then it’s additionally that mindset of… And I feel it’s a stability of avoiding any sort of like worry deprivation mindset relating to issues and acknowledging how sensible children are and the way a lot we are able to educate them from a younger age, from a non-fear-based approach and never must be restrictive. And I feel yours are youthful than mine, however as they’ve gotten older, my mentality is at residence I’m answerable for meals. We cook dinner and eat clear. The home has pure merchandise in it, however once they’re at a pal’s home, I’m not attempting to manage what they eat, what they do. I do know I’ve educated them and I do know they’re gonna be autonomous adults at some point. And they should perceive how you can make good decisions and in addition generally make dangerous decisions and be taught from that. And so I don’t attempt to management and even affect their meals once they’re not with me. And I discover, as they’re getting older, nearly at all times, they make good decisions simply because they perceive they usually really feel higher once they do.
Maggie: Yeah. And likewise in your personal life… So that is essential additionally for adults. Really, if you find yourself nourished and your physique is boosted and wholesome and properly, it’s simpler to make wholesome choices as a result of you feel happy after your meals. You truly are craving vitamins. Your physique is aware of what it feels prefer to be fueled. So, you understand, kids are the identical. They know what it looks like, you understand, once they’re nourished and the whole lot. So I feel that’s actually useful and yeah, simply not, you understand, you’re not gonna ship your 16-year-old to a sleepover with their very own natural meals and glass tupperware. You’re simply not. So it’s simply having that superb stability of doing what you possibly can when you possibly can.
Katie: How do you deal with the training aspect of that at totally different ages? I do know for you, it additionally begins principally at delivery and it’s simply a part of your loved ones tradition, however are there any particular stuff you do to assist them be taught at totally different ages?
Maggie: So our children’ ages for reference are 4, two, and one. So they’re very younger and I dove into this world earlier than our baby was even born. So from the beginning, that’s sort of lucky that they only have at all times had that. So far as an training standpoint, I feel it’s extra so an training for me, truthfully. Quite a lot of the half is as a result of, you understand, I wished them to eat good, they usually did. Like, our four-year-old, when he…most likely, he was about two and a half, after which swiftly he stopped consuming veggies. Is not going to contact them, proper? So it’s an training factor for me too, to be like, “Okay. I get that. I’m not gonna force-feed you. Proper? So let’s consider some artistic methods.” So possibly having some extra enjoyable with the meals, letting them select issues, choose them out, reduce them up, letting them… I feel dips are useful. So if I give my son one thing to dip one thing in, he’s far more more likely to eat one thing that he won’t have eaten in any other case. The 2-year-old and one-year-old are simply clearly too younger, however we’re speaking lots about… And we’re not speaking about… That is sort of humorous and a aspect word, however, like, we’re not saying like, “Oh, it’s essential eat this so you will get taller.” Proper? Like which may not… He would possibly simply be quick, proper, or taller, no matter it’s. So I’m talking to it as vitality. I at all times say like, “Jay, you…” That’s my four-year-old. “Jay, you actually… I feel that you simply’re actually gonna like this. It’s so good. That is gonna offer you a lot vitality. You’re gonna really feel so nice.”
So I’m talking at it extra of that is gonna give me vitality, the identical factor as I do in my very own life. I’m not gonna say like, “Oh, it’s gonna make me skinny. It’s gonna give me vitality. That is gonna really feel me. That is gonna make me really feel actually comfortable and good. “That was the mindset shift that I had. And so with the training standpoint, that’s what actually we’re doing, “Hey, this meals is gonna offer you vitality.” After which if one thing makes him really feel sick, generally it does, he’ll be like, “Oh, my tummy actually hurts.” Then I’ll sort of remind him like, “Oh, I’m wondering what it was. Do you assume it was the chocolate milk, or do you assume it was the pizza on the restaurant?” And sort of serving to him to establish why his tummy is likely to be hurting.
Katie: Yeah. That’s an awesome level. I feel the mindset shift for adults there may be additionally essential. I feel our tradition likes to sort of push us right into a like deprivation, guilt, worry mindset round quite a lot of totally different meals. And that occurs even within the pure well being world too. And sarcastically, like that creates a state that’s not nice to your physique, it doesn’t matter what you’re consuming or not consuming that like sympathetic nervous system stressed-out state is just not the optimum setting to nourish your physique. And when you may make that mindset shift as an alternative of like what ought to I keep away from that’s dangerous into how can I finest nourish my physique and train our children that from a younger age, I feel it makes an enormous distinction. And I do know like even in easy issues, I’ve seen it in myself. Like, once I eat sufficient protein, I’ve far more or vitality and I really feel nice. And if I hydrate within the morning, I really feel nice and if I don’t, I discover.
Maggie: Yeah. And serving to your children discover that too. And it’s essential to know that within the thick of your sickness… You won’t know this. So within the thick of your discover, you’re so… Like in your sickness, you’re so infected and it simply feels messy and it simply doesn’t really feel as nice. However you’ll get to a degree the place you do have these moments, these days, these weeks, these months the place you are feeling actually good so then you can begin to naturally select these decisions.
Katie: I’d like to additionally discuss a bit of bit about plastics since you talked about you guys prioritized glass even from the second your children are born. And we do that in our residence as properly. And I’ve written fairly a bit about plastics. And I really feel like once I write about it, typically I’m fearful it comes throughout as alarmist, however I really feel like I’m truly being like fairly conservative so far as how dangerous plastics may be. And I really feel like that is an space that also isn’t possibly essentially getting talked about sufficient. So I’d love to listen to from the useful drugs aspect and from the mother aspect your ideas on plastic and the way you deal with that in your home.
Maggie: So, sure, I’m not a plastic fan. Does that imply I’ve by no means like touched or used or had plastic within the residence? No. However that is what it means. All of us kinda know plastics aren’t so nice, proper? Like, that’s fairly basic information and all people just about agrees on that. Glass may be very straightforward to get and it’s not truly even that rather more costly within the long-term scheme of issues. So it’s sort of like, why not? You already know, if you understand, this factor won’t be actually nice for you, then why not simply, you understand, empty out the Tupperware drawer of the plastic stuff and purchase your self a set that’s glass? You already know, you will get these at Costco, Amazon. They’re truly not that onerous to get. And so, for me, it’s extra of a, if there’s a more sensible choice that basically doesn’t impression my life in any respect, apart from helps it, I’m not gonna miss the plastic. I’m truly gonna benefit from the glass as a result of it seems to be actually good, and clear, and superior, proper? Like, I prefer it aesthetically as properly. So it’s sort of identical to, why not make that swap? If in case you have the flexibility, why not simply improve and make that small change in your life that would presumably make a serious impression in your well being?
Katie: What different small adjustments do you’ve gotten folks begin with, particularly inside the residence setting, as a result of I feel most individuals listening are mothers. And so I really feel like anytime we can assist mothers make these shifts, it ripples into the entire household.
Maggie: Yeah. Effectively, I feel very easy within the residence setting is cleansing merchandise. Tremendous easy. And once more, it’s so like, “Why not?” As a result of it’s so accessible these days. Again within the day, like Katie, if you first began writing, these things wasn’t. You needed to home-make all your personal stuff, proper? However now you might home-make it as properly, however you might additionally buy it on-line from a very nice firm, proper? So there are such a lot of choices so that you can swap out your laundry detergent. Nobody’s gonna know. To swap out the dishwasher cleaning soap you utilize. Nobody’s gonna know. The hand cleaning soap, nobody’s gonna know. Once more, these are issues that you might swap in your house setting that helps all the household profit from a well being perspective and it doesn’t make a distinction. It’s not such as you’re sacrificing something. It’s truly a standing improve.
So cleansing merchandise are a quite simple solution to begin, even like ground cleaner. And when you’ve got someone clear your property, it’s quite simple to allow them to know as a result of lots of people are like, “Effectively, I don’t clear my residence. I’ve a maid service come,” or one thing like that. Cool. Simply take out your little bucket and inform them to make use of your stuff. It’s really easy. They are going to all try this. After which one other space in your personal life as a dad or mum is your hygiene and make-up. I like that. That was one of many first areas I centered on, is, initially, the lotion I used to be utilizing as a result of it was very poisonous And so simply switching to love a extra unscented, pure, natural lotion was actually good for me. After which make-up merchandise, searching for a extra clear model of the make-up.
And once more, you don’t must go chilly turkey like I did and throw away the whole lot and rebuy the whole lot at one time. You could possibly simply resolve, “Hey, my mascara simply ran out. I’m gonna check out this different model that I heard that was sort of non-toxic or clear.” And simply get the opposite one as they run out. So these are some core areas. I might say family cleansing merchandise after which your private make-up and hygiene and in addition your children, proper? They don’t care what cleaning soap that you simply’re washing your children in. Change out their cleaning soap within the bathe. They’ll by no means know the distinction they usually’ll be a lot more healthy.
Katie: Yeah. I feel private care’s an enormous one for ladies and it looks like research are pointing an increasing number of towards… We all know there’s endocrine disruptors and all types of chemical compounds in quite a lot of private care merchandise. And that was quite a lot of my cause for beginning a private care firm is that ladies should not prepared to sacrifice how we glance and the way we really feel even to go pure typically. And I’m like acknowledging this about myself too. I undoubtedly did the pure variations even earlier than they labored very properly and like I bear in mind my hair would really feel like bizarre, or stiff, or waxy, or like needed to make my very own toothpaste as a result of there have been no good choices. However realizing, such as you stated, swap them out as they run out. But additionally for those who may even simply swap the core merchandise you utilize, it’s sort of that 80/20 rule.
Once more, like, you possibly can eliminate most of your chemical publicity by simply switching out issues like deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, cleaning soap, the issues that contact your…lotion, factor that contact your physique essentially the most. And realizing we additionally don’t must have as many merchandise as we do. I feel it’s a operating joke with girls of what number of toiletries are sometimes in our loos and the husbands are likely to joke about that or complain about that. However we’re marketed to and instructed we want much more stuff than we truly do. And particularly as you get more healthy and your physique’s wholesome from the within out, I really feel like I least me, I wanted fewer and fewer merchandise or wished fewer and fewer merchandise.
Maggie: Yeah. And I like that you simply stated like wished. I imply, to me quite a lot of that is like private desire too. I like my issues clear and arranged and realizing they’re non-toxic and prefer it makes me really feel actually good. And once I get up within the day and I open, you understand, my pantry cupboard and I’ve natural, non-toxic meals and glass tupperware the place that’s organized, I prefer it. It makes me really feel actually good, and energetic and motivated whereas for those who get up and issues are messy, and poisonous, all over the place, and also you’ve received all these candles and prefer it simply smells, it doesn’t make me really feel good. So it’s additionally a private desire and I grew it to be like that. It wasn’t from the start. However yeah, the core factor is like, you don’t must do the whole lot. And if one thing’s agency, like in case your hubby is like, “No, we’re not switching the laundry… I like my,” no matter model it’s, then don’t swap the laundry or, you understand, like that’s superb. Do the opposite stuff, proper? So simply lowering… Once more, coming again to irritation, for those who scale back your irritation in some areas, it’s going to general scale back irritation within the physique. Your physique may be very, very sensible, so it would have extra vitality to rebalance your physique and heal your physique. You don’t must do each single factor to a T to be able to heal.
Katie: That’s an awesome level too, to maintain it in perspective. And I’ve heard plenty of totally different variations of this analogy from like rain bucket to bathtub, however the concept being like all of us have this vessel, which is our physique, and many totally different inputs can go in. And when your physique will get an excessive amount of of the damaging ones to deal with, it’s gonna overflow and that’ll look totally different for each individual in the way it expresses in what sort of irritation or sickness and it may very well be plenty of totally different inputs. It’s simply if you hit that threshold, it overflows. So within the reverse, the extra issues you are able to do to scale back that threshold, it has that cumulative impact nevertheless it doesn’t imply it’s a must to scale back it to zero. You simply must get it beneath the extent your physique can deal with.
Maggie: Yeah. Precisely. I name this the full poisonous burden. So I even have, like, a complete type which you can fill out and the whole lot and it tells you what your whole poisonous burden is in that second. And the objective is that we simply scale back it. You already know, you don’t must get rid of it. All of us are going to have toxins. Simply get that out of your thoughts that you simply’re gonna dwell a complete toxin-free life since you’re not. You’re gonna step outdoors and also you’re going to be uncovered to toxins. You’re going to go to the work setting and also you’re going to be uncovered to toxins. However what we are able to do is scale back what we are able to deal with and what we wish to deal with to scale back that whole toxin burden, and then you definitely’re not spilling over the sting. You’re not getting your signs. And for this reason most people who find themselves fighting well being signs or main well being crashes like myself, it takes years, proper?
I simply instructed you guys, this truly began again in highschool and possibly even earlier than that. Nevertheless it was years, and years, and years later that I received sufficient signs to care about it, sufficient signs to the place it led me to the hospital. And finally, I had truly a mini-stroke once I was 24. That was my physique being finished. That was my physique saying, “Maggie, sufficient is sufficient. We can not compensate any longer. You will have spilled over. Your whole poisonous burden is reached and we’re finished.” And so it takes a very long time to get to that time. I don’t need you guys to attend to that time. I would like you to scale back your irritation, scale back your whole poisonous burden proper now so to really feel actually, actually good and never must wrestle with these issues. So, yeah, I feel that’s a very good level.
Katie: And I’d love to listen to, on a sensible stage, a few of your favourite non-toxic gadgets for people who find themselves like, “Okay, I could make these switches.”
Maggie: Okay. Oh, my gosh. I feel the most typical factor folks ask me is make-up first as a result of I do put on make-up and I do TV and all that sort of stuff. My favourite make-up merchandise, such as you, need manufacturers? Cool. So I like Ilia, I-L-I-A.

Sincere, Jessica Alba’s firm. I exploit her mascara. I adore it. I exploit Beautycounter. I like their bronzer, their blush, their highlighter. I like them for these. After which for my basis, I like Jane Iredale. In order that’s sort of like my residence make-up. Like, I exploit Jane Iredale primer and basis.
From a cleansing perspective, cleansing merchandise, I exploit quite a lot of Department Fundamentals. They usually have just about the whole lot. They’ve received laundry detergent, and ground cleaner, and Windex, like a streak-free window cleaner, and issues like that. Clearly, you guys have an incredible toothpaste in addition to shampoo and conditioner. So I’ve that in my bathe proper now. I exploit you guys’ shampoo, and conditioner, your toothpaste, hand sanitizer. Use you guys’ hand sanitizer. So these are nice merchandise. What am I lacking? These are a few of…like, these are the primary cores for family and hygiene that I exploit. Oh, Dr. Bronner’s. I like their cleaning soap bars. And people are very easy for the kiddos too. They’ve an awesome… It’s light-blue, unscented, sort of like child Dr. Bronner’s cleaning soap. That’s actually good for our children.
Katie: I’m an enormous fan of quite a lot of these too, particularly Department Fundamentals, as a result of it’s prefer it reduces your plastic consumption as a result of it’s a focus. So I inform folks you will get like glass bottles and make actually the whole lot you want for your home with just one bottle of focus. And so it additionally saves cash, and time, and plastic. And like these are a few of these switches you’re speaking about. They don’t must be laborious. They’ll truly make your life simpler. It’s not an uphill battle. It’s a straightforward one.
Maggie: And it’s so good. You guys, such as you’re simply gonna adore it as a result of, particularly like for instance, for Department Fundamentals, as an alternative of getting all these totally different half empty tubes and all this type of stuff and all these totally different manufacturers and also you’re cleansing stuff, it’s often like a multitude, you’ve gotten like these lovely, like, they’re superbly branded. You’ll be able to refill. It’s, like, higher. It’s cleaner. It’s extra easy. After which like yousaid, you should buy these glass containers, which we’ve got. So we’ve got like a cleaning soap dispenser container and like glass spray bottles and simply refill them. And you may put a cute little label on it that tells you what it’s for like all-purpose cleaner. So it identical to feels actually, actually good when issues are simplified and arranged and look actual clear and that’s what you obtain if you select these extra non-toxic simplified manufacturers.
Katie: And I’ll put a hyperlink within the present notes. You talked about your ebook. Stroll us a bit of bit via your ebook. And I do know you’ve gotten sensible steps from having learn it of all of the methods folks can do quite a lot of this stuff we’re speaking about.
