For the longest time, I assumed that if a product was on the shelf—especially one labeled “natural” or “organic”—it had to be safe. Makeup, skincare, shampoo... all of it. I never thought twice.
But that all changed when I stumbled upon a study showing that many everyday cosmetics contain heavy metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium. And not just trace amounts—levels that have been directly linked to hormone disruption, irregular cycles, and fertility issues. (Yes, even your favorite lip balm or “clean” mascara might be part of the problem.)
So what’s the big deal with heavy metals?
Heavy metals are toxic compounds that can build up in your body over time. They don’t just pass through like other environmental toxins. They accumulate—in your organs, your tissues, and yes, even in your reproductive system.
Research has shown that exposure to metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium can:
- Disrupt hormone production
- Damage reproductive organs
- Contribute to irregular cycles
- Interfere with fetal development
And here’s the kicker—they’re found in more places than you think:
- Contaminated water
- Some seafood
- Old pipes
- And yes, your makeup bag
Once I learned the truth, it was like I couldn’t unsee it. I did a full audit of my products, tossed the sketchy ones, and made the switch to safer, cleaner beauty brands. I also started using essential oils like cilantro, grapefruit, and lemon to support gentle detox and hormonal balance.
But I knew detoxing my makeup bag wasn’t enough. I had to support my body from the inside too—because what you eat matters just as much as what you put on your skin.
That’s why I created the Cycle Syncing Recipe Book.
Every phase of your cycle comes with its own unique needs—and your body is constantly working to detox, rebalance, and regulate. When you support it with the right foods (think: fiber-rich veggies, hormone-supportive fats, and natural detoxifiers), it can do its job so much more efficiently.
✨ If you’re ready to reduce your toxic load and give your hormones the support they’re craving—my Cycle Syncing Recipe Book is the perfect place to start.
It’s packed with simple, delicious recipes tailored to each phase of your cycle—because your body deserves more than just willpower and a multivitamin.
