Vibrant health starts in the home
Becca Crawford
I’m an ordinary girl on an extraordinary mission to inspire and empower as many people as I can to lead a less toxic and more nourishing and conscious life – in all areas of their life – starting in their home. I believe that vibrant health starts in your home. It starts with the food, personal care products and cleaning products that you bring into your home. Your home is where you spend most of your time and your home is really the only place that you largely can control.
Prompted by a health crisis, I started my health journey over 2 decades ago by focusing on the food I was eating and swapping out the dietary toxins along with the mainstream dogma that has caused an epidemic of chronic illness and degenerative disease. I soon realised (as one door opened another door) that toxins weren’t just found our food system…they were lurking in the personal care products I was using on my and my babies’ skin and in the cleaning products I was spraying all over the house. They were in the sunscreen I was plastering all over my body, the make-up I was coating all over my face and the perfumes and air fresheners I was spraying.
Despite what the manufactures or the powers that be might say, scientific evidence clearly shows that dietary toxins (including refined sugars, refined starches, industrial seed oils, and artificial additives) and environmental toxins (including PEGS, SLS, synthetic fragrances, synthetic colours, phthalates, aluminium, oxybenzone etc), are of genuine concern with wide ranges health consequences. Children are the most vulnerable as their systems are much smaller. These toxins in the products that line our supermarket and pharmacy shelves have been allowed to ubiquitously infiltrate our lives, our bodies and the planet in the name of commerce and we consumers are paying the price. We are paying with our health!
The sobering light bulb moment came for me when I realized that just because something is allowed to be sold or is ubiquitously used doesn’t make it safe!! And that’s when I realized that I need to become more independent in my health care, do my own due diligence (because no one else is going to do it for me), and to take personal responsibility for my own health. This is my job and my job alone. No one else can do it for me.
Unsurprisingly, when I took this level of personal responsibility, that’s when I was able to reverse all of my and my family’s health issues. I consciously engaged in lifestyle choices that genuinely aligned with our wise biology, and avoided those that undermined it. And I sought out, and attracted, a solid tribe of supportive like-minded people which makes the journey even more rich and delicious.
My wish for you is to reclaim your power as individuals – to feel more empowered and independent in your health care. We are indeed at the threshold of a massive paradigm shift in global consciousness. Sometimes it takes, as it did for me, a personal health crisis to be your wake-up call and sometimes it takes a global health crisis. And maybe for you it’s a bit of both.
So whether you’re at the very start of your health and wellness journey or part way through or maybe you’re looking for a community of like-minded souls, I invite you to join me at one or both of my next workshops where you can learn, appreciate and focus on just how much power and influence you really can have over your health - physically, emotionally and spiritually:
