The Autoimmune RESET
FRIDAY 5 - Simple Ways to Detoxify Your Life (Without Overhauling Everything)
In this week’s Friday 5, I’m taking you through five simple, science-backed swaps to help you detoxify your daily life — one product, one habit, and one room at a time.
True detoxification isn’t just about green juices or supplements — it’s about reducing the everyday exposures that quietly burden your liver, hormones, and immune system. From the make-up we wear to the air we breathe, each small decision can either add to our toxic load or ease it.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ Why endocrine-disrupting chemicals (like BPA and phthalates) act as xenoestrogens, and how they can influence hormone balance, thyroid function, and conditions such as endometriosis.
✨ How to start replacing personal-care and household products using apps like Yuka and Think Dirty.
✨ What to look for in non-toxic cookware and storage containers, and why even BPA-free plastic isn’t always safe when heated.
✨ How to improve indoor air quality — from plants and purifiers to essential oil diffusers that cleanse without chemicals.
✨ The truth about laundry and cleaning products, and how simple swaps (like Bio-D or vinegar rinses) can lower chemical exposure dramatically.
I’ll also share my favourite mini-actions for each area, so you can make these changes gradually and sustainably — because detox should never feel like deprivation.
And don’t miss the end of this episode, where I reveal details about my free upcoming mini-series on improving vagal tone and nervous system resilience — inspired by my own experience using the Nurosym. There may even be a surprise prize for those who join live!
