One of the main reasons I started trying to become healthier was because I knew my hormones were totally out of control. When I started this journey I had NO CLUE the amount of hormone disrupting chemicals and ingredients all around me in every day life.

So I completely understand that every time someone mentions healthy eating/living, people typically roll their eyes and immediately think “oh no, here is some crazy, natural freak who doesn’t want me to have any fun in life and give up chocolate”.
