@joeysorts My life looked completely different four years ago. I didn’t have a water filter, red lights, home gym, or anything you see here. I became more aware of all the things I was consuming and the products I was using, and wanted to start making healthier changes. I didn’t stress about anything, but rather focused on what I could control. I made small changes, one at a time, as I could. Plastic containers for glass containers. A countertop water filter to filter my drinking water. I started small and these things added up over the years. Focus on what’s within your control, and do what’s best for your health. #nontoxic #nontoxichome #nontoxicliving #nontoxicproducts

Transcript

I built a luxury no toxic home. Let me give you a tour. We have the cleanest water possible, all thanks to our whole home reverse osmosis water system. All of our lights go red at night to keep our circadian rhythms dialed. We have air purifiers all throughout our home. Our entire closet is only organic cotton clothes from sorted cotton bed sheets as well. By this point, if you're thinking this is unrealistic, I get it. But this is just luxury you're seeing, not necessity. I wasn't always at the point where I could afford a whole cow in my freezer or all these fancy snacks and supplements. I started with simple changes and did what I could. I took it one day at a time, changed what I could within reason, and now tier I am. This is the accumulation of positive changes over time. A healthier no toxic home, and that's you sorted.
