NEW 2026 Dirty Dozen & Clean Fifteen

If you’re trying to reduce toxic load and support your hormones, this matters more than you think

- The Environmental Working Group releases this list yearly based on pesticide residues found on produce. Over 75% of conventional produce can carry pesticide traces (EWG)

DIRTY DOZEN (buy organic when possible):
• Strawberries
• Spinach
• Kale, collard & mustard greens
• Grapes
• Peaches
• Pears
• Nectarines
• Apples
• Cherries
• Blackberries
• Blueberries
• Potatoes

These tend to have thin skins + higher pesticide absorption

CLEAN FIFTEEN (okay to buy conventional):
• Pineapple
• Sweet corn
• Avocado
• Papaya
• Onions
• Sweet peas (frozen)
• Asparagus
• Cabbage
• Watermelon
• Cauliflower
• Bananas
• Mangoes
• Carrots
• Mushrooms
• Kiwi

💡 How to use this:
You don’t need to buy everything organic. Just prioritize the Dirty Dozen and save money on the Clean Fifteen

This is about lowering your total toxin burden, not perfection.

Heliocare is a skin-support supplement (and sunscreen line) made from a fern extract called Polypodium leucotomos (Fernblock®)
UV damage doesn’t just happen on the surface — it starts deep at the cellular level.
That’s where Heliocare comes in.

This powerful antioxidant (from a fern extract) helps protect your skin from the inside out:
- Supports against sun damage
- Helps with pigmentation + melasma
- Reduces oxidative stress in the skin

However, this is NOT a replacement for sunscreen.
It’s your extra layer of protection, especially if you’re dealing with stubborn skin issues.

Fasting isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about metabolic repair. When you give your body a break from constant eating, you:
• Improve insulin sensitivity
• Support fat burning
• Activate cellular cleanup (autophagy)
• Reduce inflammation

But more isn’t always better. The right fasting approach depends on your hormones, stress levels, and overall health.
For many women, especially under stress, aggressive fasting can backfire.
The goal isn’t to eat less—it’s to eat strategically.
Listen to your body. Support it. Then use fasting as a tool—not a punishment.

Supplements are not substitutes. Supplements are called supplements for a reason — they are meant to support, not replace, the foundations of health.

No pill can substitute for:
• Quality sleep
• Whole, nutrient-dense food
• Movement
• Stress regulation
• A healthy toxic free environment

Even the best supplements can’t outwork poor lifestyle habits. foundation

Cholesterol is only part of the story. The real question is: why is plaque forming in the first place? Heart disease prevention isn’t just about cholesterol.
It’s about understanding the root drivers of plaque formation. New Lipid Guidelines: What Actually Matters (2026)

Key takeaways:

LDL goals are lower
• Moderate risk → LDL

Education only. Not a medical advice.

Fatigue is the number one complaint I hear from patients.
And most people think the problem is that their body isn’t producing enough energy.
But the real question isn’t ‘Why am I so tired?’ It is: Why is my body trying to conserve energy?

Chronic stress, whether it’s physical stress, emotional trauma, mental overload, toxin exposure, nutrient deficiencies, or chronic illness, signals to the body that it’s not safe. And when the body doesn’t feel safe, it shifts into survival mode. And survival mode conserves energy.
