I was pregnant, standing in my kitchen, when I finally turned a bottle over and actually read it. I'd always thought I lived a healthy life — I ate well, I stayed active — but I'd never really looked at what was in the things we used every single day.
The more I read, the more I noticed: so many everyday products are full of things that don't belong anywhere near us. Somewhere along the way, that became normal. I didn't want it to be normal in our home.
Then my daughter arrived, and we learned she carries the MTHFR gene — her little body has a harder time processing certain vitamins and clearing out what it doesn't need. It felt overwhelming. But it gave me purpose: to keep things gentle, to keep them simple, and to nourish her in every way I could.
