Let’s be part of Maggie. Maggie, welcome. Thanks for being right here.

Maggie: Thanks a lot for having me.

Katie: I’m excited to speak as a result of I’ve met you in actual life, however I’m excited to get to dive in and have an precise dialog and document it. And I wanna discuss rather a lot in regards to the practical medication world and a few specifics inside that. However as we leap into that, I feel perhaps a two-part query can be, I’d love to listen to how you bought into practical medication and the story of how earlier than that you simply jumped into freezing Lake Erie for a Twinkie.

Maggie: Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. So, gosh, the freezing Lake Erie for a Twinkie. So let’s begin with the practical medication facet of issues. I received into practical medication in my younger 20s. I truly had an enormous well being crash. I used to be bloated on a regular basis. I used to be drained on a regular basis, and with these form of signs, I form of simply handled it. However immediately there was this one second the place I began swelling and that’s truly what sort of received me to concentrate. My legs have been swelling up. My physique was swelling up. I began getting tons of weight in a really quick period of time with out…I didn’t do something completely different. I simply was gaining weight and bloating up, you recognize? In order that’s what sort of dove me into practical medication as a result of with these signs, I went to conventional medical docs to attempt to determine what was going on, and I personally was a conventional nurse practitioner on the time from Vanderbilt. My mother’s a pharmacist, so like very conventional primarily based.

However I used to be going to those docs, Katie, and so they have been simply not answering me. They have been telling me my labs appeared regular at first regardless that I’m standing there and I’m like, “I’ve gained 30 kilos in two months and I really feel like crap. Nothing’s regular. Like one thing goes on.” They usually have been simply form of dismissing me. After which what occurred is that then ultimately they might ship me to those completely different specialists. So the, you recognize, my basic practitioner would ship me to the endocrinologist, after which the endocrinologist would say it was cardiology, after which he would ship me to the immunologist. And I used to be simply seeing all these specialists and nobody was serving to. And it was truly certainly one of my aunts who on the time was seeing a practical practitioner who instructed me about practical medication.

I had by no means heard of it. I didn’t comprehend it existed. So I actually in my younger 20s went all the way down to my pc and he or she was like, “Simply Google it.” And I Googled practical medication and that’s actually what began it in any respect. I enrolled into the Institute for Useful Drugs selfishly simply to heal my very own physique. After which as soon as I healed my physique, I reversed all the things going on in my well being complication, in my story. Then, I knew that this was the mannequin I wished to be aligned with going ahead. I wished to assist folks on this extra practical, pure mannequin versus the normal mannequin I had grown up in.

Katie: Yeah. I really feel like lots of people have some similarities to that story. I do know I did with what ended up for me being thyroid points till I resolved them and being instructed by docs all the things is regular and the way irritating that’s if you’re like all the things is completely not regular, however the mannequin doesn’t account for a few of these extra underlying circumstances that practical medication is skilled to take a look at. I’d love to listen to just a little bit extra about what ended up truly form of being the unresolved subject for you and what steps helped.

Maggie: Sure. So truly thyroid was a giant complication for me and even beforehand, which is basically vital to notice, like, my mother knew one thing was form of going on even once I was in highschool as a result of I didn’t have durations. So I didn’t have my cycles till I used to be about 17 years previous and at the moment, they have been medically induced. I used to be put on the tablet. So clearly, one thing was not going proper in my physique. And we had checked my thyroid ranges again in highschool, however since they have been “regular” or suboptimal, they didn’t do something about it. So regardless that I used to be having these signs, I used to be chilly on a regular basis. I used to be hungry on a regular basis. I used to be consuming a lot, however not like gaining weight. I used to be simply by no means full. I had evident signs that have been ignored and form of dismissed manner again even in highschool, manner earlier than this occurred.

So ultimately when this did occur, the issues that I used to be recognized with have been primarily hypothyroidism and PCOS. These have been the 2 core issues. And, after all, as a lot of you might know, when your physique goes, you recognize, not proper and issues are going on, you’ve all these signs, different techniques begin to be impacted. So the hypothyroidism, the PCOS have been the core problems from again within the day, however then I ended up having intestine issues. I had H. pylori, E. coli, that are bacterial overgrowths in my intestine lining. I ended up having a kidney nearly just about failure. My kidney was shutting down. My immune system fully shut down. I had zero immune antibodies and immune system. So truly, my docs instructed me that I might be on IV remedy the remainder of my life simply to help my immune system. So all of those different issues began, however on the core, it was actually hormonal-related, each thyroid hormones in addition to intercourse hormones.

Katie: Which is smart as a result of if hormones are out of whack, such as you stated, that impacts each space of the physique. And I’ve stated that earlier than too. You possibly can’t out-diet or out-supplement. In case your hormones are out of whack and also you’re gonna be preventing a shedding battle as a result of your hormones will win till you take a look at the hormones and help them. I do know additionally from studying quite a lot of your work, you discuss rather a lot about irritation. So I might love to listen to how irritation suits into this puzzle and why that’s such a key piece.

Maggie: Yeah. You understand, early on once I began my practical medication apply and I might discuss my story, folks would all the time ask, like, “What was the one factor you probably did?” And it’s troublesome to reply that query as a result of there’s actually not one factor. You understand, on the core of those well being problems, it truly is irritation on the root and it may very well be irritation from the lotion you’re placing on your physique. It may very well be irritation from the stress that you simply’re placing on your physique, perhaps psychological stress. For me, that was quite a lot of indecisiveness that really precipitated, like, severe psychological stress in my life in addition to physiological stress. So toxins in your meals, in your physique. So it may very well be that. It may very well be irritation coming from something, proper? Your meals that you simply’re consuming like I simply talked about or simply no matter it’s.

So what occurs within the physique is as irritation builds up, all of those different well being problems have a possibility to current themselves whereas on the flip facet, if we will de enhance irritation, what we will do is assist the physique heal itself. So it doesn’t matter what goes on, whether or not you’ve a thyroid complication like myself and also you or perhaps you’ve rheumatoid arthritis or perhaps you’re simply tremendous fatigued on a regular basis and unsure what it’s, when you scale back irritation, your physique can have extra vitality to rebalance and repair no matter it’s that’s going on in your life. So it’s a extremely good reply to noticeably something that you simply’re scuffling with. In case you scale back irritation, it’s going to assist that complication.

Katie: That is smart. Additionally, earlier than we maintain going on this path, I do wanna hear the Twinkie story simply as a enjoyable story.

Maggie: Okay. So I used to be not all the time health-oriented, proper? Kinda, however that is only a story manner again when one time I used to be dared. My dad dared me on trip to leap into Lake Erie and it was freezing chilly. It was not summer season for a Twinkie. And I did it. I jumped off the dock into like crashing waves Lake Erie for a Twinkie. And I can’t consider that I did that, however sure, that’s one thing that occurred.

Katie: And also you have been forward of the pattern. Now, ice baths are all the fad and everybody’s getting them of their homes.

Maggie: Proper. Who knew? I used to be truly being wholesome and helpful for myself. I’m keen on consuming the Twinkie.

Katie: Not less than you counteracted the Twinky with the chilly water.

Maggie: Yeah.

Katie: Okay. So again to the subject of irritation, this undoubtedly appears to be a recurring theme, and an increasing number of research form of are pointing towards this connection. And I like that the holistic practical world appears to be like in any respect the items as a substitute of like your specialist making an attempt to isolate, however it additionally looks as if a reasonably large factor to deal with. Like, it’s nice once we are like, “Okay. I’ve irritation. How can we fight that? Like, what can we do when somebody realizes that is a type of items for me?”

Maggie: Yeah. You understand, I all the time inform folks that you simply don’t need to do all of it, proper? Like, meet your self the place you’re. In case you’re like me, I form of did all of it at one time. As soon as I came upon this info, I used to be like, “I’m carried out.” I threw away all of my make-up and my family merchandise and I attempted to essentially dwell a non-toxic way of life, however you completely should not have to. A very good instance is definitely certainly one of my sisters, she chooses one factor per 12 months to focus on, only one. So I feel final 12 months it was deodorant. So she dedicated to final 12 months discovering a wholesome deodorant that works finest for her that she’s going to swap out. And over time and over time, you’re going to begin to dive right into a more healthy way of life that reduces irritation. So take it step-by-step. And within the guide, in my guide, “Eat Proper for Your Inflammation Kind,” I actually define the completely different areas that you can focus on and I encourage you to choose what it’s for you, what one factor are you able to do even this 12 months that may assist to cut back your irritation. And take it step-by-step.

Katie: And I do know, in particularly the practical medication world and for all of us, all the things may be very individualized and personalised. So there’s gonna be a special reply to that for each particular person, however are there, out of your expertise with purchasers, some commonalities which can be actually good beginning factors when you’re gonna attempt to like 80/20, like these would transfer the needle probably the most to start with?

Maggie: Sure. I might say that the very first thing is definitely mindset. You understand, I form of argue between meals and mindset, however if you’re consuming actually wholesome however your mindset continues to be actually poisonous, it’s not going to work out. And the identical factor is when you’re maintaining a healthy diet however it’s from a spot of worry or punishment and your mindset’s not on level and also you’re not hopeful which you can heal, it’s not going to work out. So these two form of go hand in hand. So the meals that you simply eat can be the primary factor after which combining that along with your mindset round that meals, no diets, no restrictions, no yo-yoing, actually simply nourishing your physique and considering each single day what are you able to add to your vitamin, to your meal, to your smoothie, to your drink, no matter it’s, what are you able to add that may assist to spice up your vitamins, assist to heal your physique, and rebalance no matter goes on.

So I feel that that’s just like the very first minimal factor if any person goes to make any modifications in life, that or not it’s on vitamin and mindset and actually simply simplifying issues, lowering packaged items, lowering the chemical substances that you simply’re consuming. And fortuitously, as we speak, there are such a lot of choices on the market for you that even when it’s like, oh, you’re hooked on, you recognize, onion rings, there are more healthy choices for onion rings on the market, otherwise you actually love Starbust. Cool. Get the more healthy model of the Starbust. In order you make these wholesome swaps, you’re nonetheless consuming the factor, however you’re lowering irritation due to the ingredient content material and the nutrient content material in that merchandise.

Katie: Yeah. That makes a lot sense. And I feel you’re proper. Like, I do know within the mindset shift myself, I didn’t understand the significance of that as a result of I used to be doing all the like checklist-y issues first and making an attempt to love deprive myself of issues or like get very regimented. And once I stopped making an attempt to battle my physique and punish it and began studying to adore it and settle for it and work with it, all of these shifts received a lot simpler as a result of I wished to do them. And I feel that perhaps is an usually neglected step, particularly when you’ve got a well being situation otherwise you’re making an attempt to drop some weight and also you’re identical to pissed off with your self, it’s straightforward to get in that loop of like form of being mad at your self or like, ” Why can’t I do that?” And at the very least for me, I realized if you’re asking these sorts of questions, your thoughts goes to reply these questions.

So when you’re like, “Why can’t I do that? Why is that this so laborious,” your thoughts is like, “Oh, properly, listed below are all the explanations it’s so laborious, so you need to simply cease.” And whereas when you like can shift that mindset even slowly, that makes such a giant distinction. And to your level of including issues, I like that as a result of I feel usually folks get overwhelmed and suppose, “I would like to vary all the things,” or, “That is gonna be so costly.” And it’s like when you can simply construct little habits which can be truly gratifying like getting outdoors if you first get up to get pure gentle or consuming water very first thing within the morning to form of refuel your physique after sleep, like these little steps that don’t value something can actually add up and provide the motivation to maintain going and form of that concept that like we regularly suppose, “Oh, I would like motivation in order that I can take motion.” However usually these little actions are what carry you the motivation, to start with.

Maggie: Sure. I couldn’t agree with that extra. And I used to be in that very same boat too. At first, I used to be making an attempt to observe all of those completely different diets, and guidelines, and restrictions. And I had a guidelines for myself and I even would write down like once I tousled, proper, or like “tousled.” And it was simply so poisonous that once I stopped that, and I truthfully simply awakened and targeted on how can I nourish my physique as we speak, and no guilt, disgrace, or fear if I selected one thing completely different and simply going daily, I feel that, you recognize, you simply nailed it. Every part that you simply simply stated is strictly why I healed. It wasn’t as a result of it was a sure weight-reduction plan. It wasn’t as a result of I switched out my air filter system. These issues helped me, however what in the end helped me heal most was loving my physique, honoring the place I used to be, and giving myself grace via the method figuring out that that is going to be a journey. It’s not going to occur in a single day. You understand, it’s not unhealthy that it occurred, proper? Like truthfully, I look again and I’m form of glad it did as a result of it led me to the place I’m as we speak and be in a extremely, actually good place with dwelling on this trendy world whereas nourishing my physique and, you recognize, actually dwelling a vibrant, wholesome life.

Katie: Yeah. Completely. I feel that shift is the one I want I might like reward folks if it have been potential, however it’s that journey of doing it ourselves and likewise that mindset of realizing… I do know once I was within the thick of it considering like, “Oh, my gosh, I must make all these modifications for the remainder of my life.” However the fantastic thing about it, the physique is so resilient. Typically, that you must be extra perhaps cautious in a brief time period however that the physique adapts over time. And I discover now I’ve rather more leeway in what I might eat and what I work together with with out having any form of response. So I additionally inform those that, like, your physique can heal and it will get simpler on the opposite facet. This is sort of a short-term focus.

Maggie: Sure. Completely. And it’s, proper? I can…whereas up to now, if I might eat one thing… I imply, I’ll always remember one time I used to be sitting at my boyfriend on the time, he’s now my husband. I used to be sitting at his mother’s home and I used to be making an attempt to be wholesome as a result of I knew that I used to be having these things going on. I used to be consuming natural, gluten-free tortilla chips with natural hummus, proper? However for some motive, my meals intolerances, my physique, my intestine lining wasn’t having it. In order I used to be consuming this, I might bodily really feel my physique begin blowing up. By the top of that day at his mother’s home, I appeared 15 kilos heavier. My face was so swollen and it was horrible. After all, now I can exit and eat pizza and beer and be completely high quality. I’m not joking as a result of I’m not doing it on a regular basis and my physique is so constructed up and resilient that it might deal with these hits. And so there’s undoubtedly a light-weight on the finish of the tunnel if you do heal your physique which you can benefit from the issues that you simply perhaps need to take pleasure in. You possibly can eat that piece of pie at Christmas with out worrying that you simply’re going to be what I name meals hungover for the following 5 days. And so there’s gentle on the finish of the tunnel when you get previous the preliminary actually deep therapeutic of your well being.

Katie: And for individuals who perhaps are resonating along with your story and likewise perhaps being instructed by docs that all the things’s regular and having bother getting solutions, do you’ve any recommendation for good beginning factors for them for find out how to advocate for themselves or find out how to discover assets that may truly assist them uncover what they should begin with?

Maggie: Yeah. Nicely, the very first thing to know is that you simply care probably the most about your self. So quite a lot of these docs, even the practical medication docs, even the integrative medication docs, on the finish of the day, like they’re seeing lots of or 1000’s of individuals, so you actually need to take management of your individual well being, proper? Use them as guides, as coaches, as mentors, as help however on the finish of the day, it’s as much as you. So when you’re not proud of the care you’re being given, even when you don’t agree with the care you’re given, for instance, one time I noticed a practical medication supplier, the very first go to, they handed me a PDF booklet. It was already made. They don’t even know what’s going on in my physique. They handed me this booklet of the weight-reduction plan to observe and explaining leaky intestine and the complement protocol is already printed off. They provide it to each one that comes within the door. And that was a practical medication supplier. That’s not individualized care. I don’t agree with that. I knew that I didn’t need to observe a strict weight-reduction plan. That was not individualized to me earlier than they even know something about me. So if that occurs to you, even when this was somebody extremely beneficial to you and also you don’t be ok with it, it’s as much as you to make a change. It’s as much as you to stroll out of that workplace, to not return, and to hunt completely different solutions.

So I feel the very very first thing to do when you’re on this well being journey and also you’re pissed off is to know that it’s as much as you and then you definately get to determine, “Okay, what’s the following step?” Are you going to…? I imply, I used to be fairly dramatic. I realized practical medication from, like, an precise establishment to actually heal my very own physique. You should not have to do this. Perhaps it’s merely studying a guide that actually resonates with you, proper? You understand, perhaps it’s merely becoming a member of an internet webinar or summit going on and taking notes your self and seeing what works finest in your way of life and beginning to implement that or hiring a special particular person, a special coach, marketing consultant, or practitioner that actually speaks to you. I feel that that’s the perfect subsequent step for anybody who’s going via this journey.

Katie: That’s… Yeah. Nice recommendation. And I do know one other consideration for this that turned very top-of-mind for me and really is quite a lot of the explanation I received into the well being world is the consideration of our children and what they’re dealing with and the way irritation is continual even in children now. And I do know you’re a mother as properly, so I’d like to form of discuss the way you tackle irritation in your children and the way that appears virtually of their day-to-day life as a result of additionally for all of us who had well being issues and resolved them, such as you stated, very grateful truly for it now and likewise, I wish to maintain my children from having to stroll that very same journey if potential. So I’d love to listen to the mother facet from you.

Maggie: Yeah. Oh, my gosh. That is one thing I’m so captivated with in all probability much more than what my very own life proper now could be the kiddos. So what I do may be very versatile in my youngsters’s lives. So I’m not… You don’t stroll into my home and it’s like excellent, pristine, nothing poisonous, no sweet. However what we do is we do the more healthy swaps. So, for instance, if we’re going to eat, I don’t know, ice cream, I’m getting the dairy-free sugar, free natural ice cream. So I’m completely satisfied I’m serving to them to have swaps of their life and truthfully, they don’t even know the distinction, proper? As a result of quite a lot of instances these meals are simply nearly as good and so they simply don’t know completely different. However then once we are from a meals perspective, once we are out at a restaurant, for instance, once I can deal with the scenario I do. For instance, my child, she has no concept what I’m feeding her. So I’m ordering her if we’re out in a restaurant, steamed veggies, steamed rooster, you recognize, no butter oils, and so forth. She doesn’t know the distinction whereas my 4-year-old, he form of does.

His cousin’s ordering a grilled cheese, he needs a grilled cheese. And that’s high quality. So I don’t put any disgrace or guilt on that. I make it thrilling. That is so enjoyable. Did you take pleasure in your lunch? And never making him really feel responsible for that selection. However then once we’re at house, you recognize, perhaps we’re having a grilled cheese however we’re making it with more healthy components. So it’s a extremely high quality stability. After which the issues that they don’t know, I completely take management of. For instance, all of them drink out of glass. Even our new child child’s like straight out of glass, we do all natural bedding. Like, they don’t have a clue, however that’s me deliberately lowering their irritation for them in an space that they don’t care about. Even quite a lot of our toys are non-toxic toys. They don’t know the distinction. They’re nonetheless having a lot enjoyable. So I’m actually controlling the issues that I can after which permitting them flexibility and a extremely good relationship. I need them to have a extremely good relationship to meals, to non-toxic dwelling wholesome dwelling as properly.

Katie: Yeah. I feel you’re proper. The mindset piece is so vital, particularly with the youngsters too, and particularly ranging from a younger age. And there are these straightforward ones that I feel are so good of like something they’re gonna do anyway like sleep, simply make the sleep atmosphere as clear and pure as potential. They’re gonna eat and drink, so simply make the best way wherein they’re doing that as straightforward as potential. However then it’s additionally that mindset of… And I feel it’s a stability of avoiding any form of like worry deprivation mindset in the case of issues and acknowledging how good children are and the way a lot we will educate them from a younger age, from a non-fear-based manner and never need to be restrictive. And I feel yours are youthful than mine, however as they’ve gotten older, my mentality is at house I’m accountable for meals. We cook dinner and eat clear. The home has pure merchandise in it, however once they’re at a buddy’s home, I’m not making an attempt to manage what they eat, what they do. I do know I’ve educated them and I do know they’re gonna be autonomous adults at some point. And they should perceive find out how to make good decisions and likewise typically make unhealthy decisions and be taught from that. And so I don’t attempt to management and even affect their meals once they’re not with me. And I discover, as they’re getting older, nearly all the time, they make good decisions simply because they perceive and so they really feel higher once they do.

Maggie: Yeah. And likewise in your individual life… So that is vital additionally for adults. Truly, if you find yourself nourished and your physique is boosted and wholesome and properly, it’s simpler to make wholesome choices as a result of you’re feeling happy after your meals. You truly are craving vitamins. Your physique is aware of what it feels prefer to be fueled. So, you recognize, youngsters are the identical. They know what it appears like, you recognize, once they’re nourished and all the things. So I feel that’s actually useful and yeah, simply not, you recognize, you’re not gonna ship your 16-year-old to a sleepover with their very own natural meals and glass tupperware. You’re simply not. So it’s simply having that high quality stability of doing what you may when you may.

Katie: How do you deal with the schooling facet of that at completely different ages? I do know for you, it additionally begins mainly at delivery and it’s simply a part of your loved ones tradition, however are there any particular belongings you do to assist them be taught at completely different ages?

Maggie: So our children’ ages for reference are 4, two, and one. So they’re very younger and I dove into this world earlier than our baby was even born. So from the beginning, that’s form of lucky that they simply have all the time had that. So far as an schooling standpoint, I feel it’s extra so an schooling for me, truthfully. A number of the half is as a result of, you recognize, I wished them to eat excellent, and so they did. Like, our four-year-old, when he…in all probability, he was about two and a half, after which abruptly he stopped consuming veggies. Is not going to contact them, proper? So it’s an schooling factor for me too, to be like, “Okay. I get that. I’m not gonna force-feed you. Proper? So let’s consider some artistic methods.” So perhaps having some extra enjoyable with the meals, letting them select issues, choose them out, minimize them up, letting them… I feel dips are useful. So if I give my son one thing to dip one thing in, he’s far more prone to eat one thing that he won’t have eaten in any other case. The 2-year-old and one-year-old are simply clearly too younger, however we’re speaking rather a lot about… And we’re not speaking about… That is form of humorous and a facet be aware, however, like, we’re not saying like, “Oh, that you must eat this so you will get taller.” Proper? Like that may not… He would possibly simply be quick, proper, or taller, no matter it’s. So I’m chatting with it as vitality. I all the time say like, “Jay, you…” That’s my four-year-old. “Jay, you actually… I feel that you simply’re actually gonna like this. It’s so good. That is gonna offer you a lot vitality. You’re gonna really feel so nice.”

So I’m talking at it extra of that is gonna give me vitality, the identical factor as I do in my very own life. I’m not gonna say like, “Oh, it’s gonna make me skinny. It’s gonna give me vitality. That is gonna really feel me. That is gonna make me really feel actually completely satisfied and good. “That was the mindset shift that I had. And so with the schooling standpoint, that’s what actually we’re doing, “Hey, this meals is gonna offer you vitality.” After which if one thing makes him really feel sick, typically it does, he’ll be like, “Oh, my tummy actually hurts.” Then I’ll form of remind him like, “Oh, I’m wondering what it was. Do you suppose it was the chocolate milk, or do you suppose it was the pizza on the restaurant?” And form of serving to him to establish why his tummy could be hurting.

Katie: Yeah. That’s an awesome level. I feel the mindset shift for adults there’s additionally crucial. I feel our tradition likes to form of push us right into a like deprivation, guilt, worry mindset round quite a lot of completely different meals. And that occurs even within the pure well being world too. And mockingly, like that creates a state that’s not nice for your physique, it doesn’t matter what you’re consuming or not consuming that like sympathetic nervous system stressed-out state shouldn’t be the optimum atmosphere to nourish your physique. And when you can also make that mindset shift as a substitute of like what ought to I keep away from that’s unhealthy into how can I finest nourish my physique and educate our children that from a younger age, I feel it makes an enormous distinction. And I do know like even in easy issues, I’ve seen it in myself. Like, once I eat sufficient protein, I’ve far more or vitality and I really feel nice. And if I hydrate within the morning, I really feel nice and if I don’t, I discover.

Maggie: Yeah. And serving to your children discover that too. And it’s vital to know that within the thick of your sickness… You won’t know this. So within the thick of your discover, you’re so… Like in your sickness, you’re so infected and it simply feels messy and it simply doesn’t really feel as nice. However you’re going to get to a degree the place you do have these moments, these days, these weeks, these months the place you’re feeling actually good so then you can begin to naturally select these decisions.

Katie: I’d like to additionally discuss just a little bit about plastics since you talked about you guys prioritized glass even from the second your children are born. And we do that in our house as properly. And I’ve written fairly a bit about plastics. And I really feel like once I write about it, usually I’m fearful it comes throughout as alarmist, however I really feel like I’m truly being like fairly conservative so far as how dangerous plastics could be. And I really feel like that is an space that also isn’t perhaps essentially getting talked about sufficient. So I’d love to listen to from the practical medication facet and from the mother facet your ideas on plastic and the way you tackle that in your home.

Maggie: So, sure, I’m not a plastic fan. Does that imply I’ve by no means like touched or used or had plastic within the house? No. However that is what it means. All of us kinda know plastics aren’t so nice, proper? Like, that’s fairly basic data and everyone just about agrees on that. Glass may be very straightforward to get and it’s not truly even that rather more costly within the long-term scheme of issues. So it’s form of like, why not? You understand, if you recognize, this factor won’t be actually nice for you, then why not simply, you recognize, empty out the Tupperware drawer of the plastic stuff and purchase your self a set that’s glass? You understand, you will get these at Costco, Amazon. They’re truly not that onerous to get. And so, for me, it’s extra of a, if there’s a better option that actually doesn’t influence my life in any respect, besides for helps it, I’m not gonna miss the plastic. I’m truly gonna benefit from the glass as a result of it appears to be like actually good, and clear, and superior, proper? Like, I prefer it aesthetically as properly. So it’s form of identical to, why not make that swap? When you’ve got the flexibility, why not simply improve and make that small change in your life that would presumably make a serious influence in your well being?

Katie: What different small modifications do you’ve folks begin with, particularly inside the house atmosphere, as a result of I feel most individuals listening are mothers. And so I really feel like anytime we may also help mothers make these shifts, it ripples into the entire household.

Maggie: Yeah. Nicely, I feel very easy within the house atmosphere is cleansing merchandise. Tremendous easy. And once more, it’s so like, “Why not?” As a result of it’s so accessible these days. Again within the day, like Katie, if you first began writing, these things wasn’t. You needed to home-make all your individual stuff, proper? However now you can home-make it as properly, however you can additionally buy it on-line from a extremely nice firm, proper? So there are such a lot of choices for you to swap out your laundry detergent. Nobody’s gonna know. To swap out the dishwasher cleaning soap you utilize. Nobody’s gonna know. The hand cleaning soap, nobody’s gonna know. Once more, these are issues that you can swap in your house atmosphere that helps your complete household profit from a well being perspective and it doesn’t make a distinction. It’s not such as you’re sacrificing something. It’s truly a standing improve.

So cleansing merchandise are a quite simple option to begin, even like ground cleaner. And when you’ve got any person clear your private home, it’s quite simple to allow them to know as a result of lots of people are like, “Nicely, I don’t clear my house. I’ve a maid service come,” or one thing like that. Cool. Simply take out your little bucket and inform them to make use of your stuff. It’s really easy. They may all do this. After which one other space in your individual life as a guardian is your hygiene and make-up. I like that. That was one of many first areas I targeted on, is, to begin with, the lotion I used to be utilizing as a result of it was very poisonous And so simply switching to love a extra unscented, pure, natural lotion was actually good for me. After which make-up merchandise, wanting for a extra clear model of the make-up.

And once more, you don’t need to go chilly turkey like I did and throw away all the things and rebuy all the things at one time. You may simply determine, “Hey, my mascara simply ran out. I’m gonna check out this different model that I heard that was form of non-toxic or clear.” And simply get the opposite one as they run out. So these are some core areas. I might say family cleansing merchandise after which your private make-up and hygiene and likewise your children, proper? They don’t care what cleaning soap that you simply’re washing your children in. Change out their cleaning soap within the bathe. They’ll by no means know the distinction and so they’ll be a lot more healthy.

Katie: Yeah. I feel private care’s a giant one for girls and it looks as if research are pointing an increasing number of towards… We all know there’s endocrine disruptors and all types of chemical substances in quite a lot of private care merchandise. And that was quite a lot of my motive for beginning a private care firm is that ladies will not be keen to sacrifice how we glance and the way we really feel even to go pure usually. And I’m like acknowledging this about myself too. I undoubtedly did the pure variations even earlier than they labored very properly and like I bear in mind my hair would really feel like bizarre, or stiff, or waxy, or like needed to make my very own toothpaste as a result of there have been no good choices. However realizing, such as you stated, change them out as they run out. But additionally when you may even simply change the core merchandise you utilize, it’s form of that 80/20 rule.

Once more, like, you may do away with most of your chemical publicity by simply switching out issues like deodorant, shampoo, toothpaste, cleaning soap, the issues that contact your…lotion, factor that contact your physique probably the most. And realizing we additionally don’t need to have as many merchandise as we do. I feel it’s a operating joke with girls of what number of toiletries are sometimes in our loos and the husbands are likely to joke about that or complain about that. However we’re marketed to and instructed we’d like much more stuff than we truly do. And particularly as you get more healthy and your physique’s wholesome from the within out, I really feel like I least me, I wanted fewer and fewer merchandise or wished fewer and fewer merchandise.

Maggie: Yeah. And I like that you simply stated like wished. I imply, to me quite a lot of that is like private desire too. I like my issues clear and arranged and figuring out they’re non-toxic and prefer it makes me really feel actually good. And once I get up within the day and I open, you recognize, my pantry cupboard and I’ve natural, non-toxic meals and glass tupperware the place that’s organized, I prefer it. It makes me really feel actually good, and energetic and motivated whereas when you get up and issues are messy, and poisonous, all over the place, and also you’ve received all these candles and prefer it simply smells, it doesn’t make me really feel good. So it’s additionally a private desire and I grew it to be like that. It wasn’t from the start. However yeah, the core factor is like, you don’t need to do all the things. And if one thing’s agency, like in case your hubby is like, “No, we’re not switching the laundry… I like my,” no matter model it’s, then don’t change the laundry or, you recognize, like that’s high quality. Do the opposite stuff, proper? So simply lowering… Once more, coming again to irritation, when you scale back your irritation in some areas, it’s going to total scale back irritation within the physique. Your physique may be very, very good, so it can have extra vitality to rebalance your physique and heal your physique. You don’t need to do each single factor to a T so as to heal.

Katie: That’s an awesome level too, to maintain it in perspective. And I’ve heard a lot of completely different variations of this analogy from like rain bucket to bathtub, however the concept being like all of us have this vessel, which is our physique, and plenty of completely different inputs can go in. And when your physique will get an excessive amount of of the adverse ones to deal with, it’s gonna overflow and that’ll look completely different for each particular person in the way it expresses in what kind of irritation or sickness and it may very well be a lot of completely different inputs. It’s simply if you hit that threshold, it overflows. So within the reverse, the extra issues you are able to do to cut back that threshold, it has that cumulative impact however it doesn’t imply you must scale back it to zero. You simply need to get it under the extent your physique can deal with.

Maggie: Yeah. Precisely. I name this the overall poisonous burden. So I even have, like, a complete kind which you can fill out and all the things and it tells you what your complete poisonous burden is in that second. And the purpose is that we simply scale back it. You understand, you don’t need to remove it. All of us are going to have toxins. Simply get that out of your thoughts that you simply’re gonna dwell a complete toxin-free life since you’re not. You’re gonna step outdoors and also you’re going to be uncovered to toxins. You’re going to go to the work atmosphere and also you’re going to be uncovered to toxins. However what we will do is scale back what we will deal with and what we need to deal with to cut back that complete toxin burden, and then you definately’re not spilling over the sting. You’re not getting your signs. And this is the reason most people who find themselves scuffling with well being signs or main well being crashes like myself, it takes years, proper?

I simply instructed you guys, this truly began again in highschool and possibly even earlier than that. But it surely was years, and years, and years later that I received sufficient signs to care about it, sufficient signs to the place it led me to the hospital. And ultimately, I had truly a mini-stroke once I was 24. That was my physique being carried out. That was my physique saying, “Maggie, sufficient is sufficient. We can not compensate any longer. You’ve got spilled over. Your complete poisonous burden is reached and we’re carried out.” And so it takes a very long time to get to that time. I don’t need you guys to attend to that time. I need you to cut back your irritation, scale back your complete poisonous burden proper now so as to really feel actually, actually good and never need to wrestle with these issues. So, yeah, I feel that’s a extremely good level.

Katie: And I’d love to listen to, on a sensible degree, a few of your favourite non-toxic objects for people who find themselves like, “Okay, I could make these switches.”

Maggie: Okay. Oh, my gosh. I feel the commonest factor folks ask me is make-up first as a result of I do put on make-up and I do TV and all that form of stuff. My favourite make-up merchandise, such as you, need manufacturers? Cool. So I like Ilia, I-L-I-A. I take advantage of their… Particularly, when you really need the main points, I take advantage of their eyeshadow. I actually like that. After which I take advantage of their eyeliner. I adore it. I take advantage of Sincere. Sincere, Jessica Alba’s firm. I take advantage of her mascara. I adore it. I take advantage of Beautycounter. I like their bronzer, their blush, their highlighter. I like them for these. After which for my basis, I like Jane Iredale. In order that’s form of like my house make-up. Like, I take advantage of Jane Iredale primer and basis.

From a cleansing perspective, cleansing merchandise, I take advantage of quite a lot of Department Fundamentals. They usually have just about all the things. They’ve received laundry detergent, and ground cleaner, and Windex, like a streak-free window cleaner, and issues like that. Clearly, you guys have an incredible toothpaste in addition to shampoo and conditioner. So I’ve that in my bathe proper now. I take advantage of you guys’ shampoo, and conditioner, your toothpaste, hand sanitizer. Use you guys’ hand sanitizer. So these are nice merchandise. What am I lacking? These are a few of…like, these are the primary cores for family and hygiene that I take advantage of. Oh, Dr. Bronner’s. I like their cleaning soap bars. And people are very easy for the kiddos too. They’ve an awesome… It’s light-blue, unscented, form of like child Dr. Bronner’s cleaning soap. That’s actually good for our children.

Katie: I’m a giant fan of quite a lot of these too, particularly Department Fundamentals, as a result of it’s prefer it reduces your plastic consumption as a result of it’s a focus. So I inform folks you will get like glass bottles and make actually all the things you want for your home with just one bottle of focus. And so it additionally saves cash, and time, and plastic. And like these are a few of these switches you’re speaking about. They don’t need to be laborious. They’ll truly make your life simpler. It’s not an uphill battle. It’s a straightforward one.

Maggie: And it’s so good. You guys, such as you’re simply gonna adore it as a result of, particularly like for instance, for Department Fundamentals, as a substitute of getting all these completely different half empty tubes and all this sort of stuff and all these completely different manufacturers and also you’re cleansing stuff, it’s normally like a multitude, you’ve like these lovely, like, they’re fantastically branded. You possibly can refill. It’s, like, higher. It’s cleaner. It’s extra easy. After which like yousaid, you should purchase these glass containers, which we’ve got. So we’ve got like a cleaning soap dispenser container and like glass spray bottles and simply refill them. And you may put a cute little label on it that tells you what it’s for like all-purpose cleaner. So it identical to feels actually, actually good when issues are simplified and arranged and look actual clear and that’s what you obtain if you select these extra non-toxic simplified manufacturers.

Katie: And I’ll put a hyperlink within the present notes. You talked about your guide. Stroll us just a little bit via your guide. And I do know you’ve sensible steps from having learn it of all of the methods folks can do quite a lot of this stuff we’re speaking about.

Maggie: Yeah. So the guide is named “Eat Proper for Your Inflammation Kind” and it’s truly far more than consuming. However we do focus rather a lot on what I name the “Eat to Deal with” methodology. In order that’s my methodology that I take all of my purchasers via. I even have a course known as Eat to Deal with and it focuses on vitamin.

I used to be afraid to eat as a result of I didn’t know if I used to be gonna get signs and it was a complete mess.

And so that could be a enormous portion of the guide. After which in a complete enormous portion, truly a whole a part of the guide, half two, is named Create an Setting to Thrive. So it can take you thru legitimately each space that you can enhance upon. And once more, you don’t need to do all of them.

So in creating an atmosphere to thrive, we discuss not nearly what we talked about as we speak in regards to the non-toxic objects and wonder, but in addition issues like stress administration and mindset.

You talked about irritation sorts. Are you able to stroll us via perhaps a number of the completely different ones and the way they appear completely different?

Maggie: Sure. So within the first a part of the guide, we truly break down the six irritation sorts. So after seeing so many purchasers around the globe, I’ve recognized six core inflammatory sorts that folks come to me with and so they’re just a little bit completely different, proper? The physique is all interconnected. And plenty of instances if you’re scuffling with one thing, you’ll have a few completely different inflammatory sorts going on, however there’s all the time that core one. For me, that was hormones. What occurred first? As a result of if we will establish that and begin to do particular issues which can be focused to that, for instance, like when you’ve got a thyroid complication, I’m going to present you completely different recommendation of what to eat, when to eat, when you ought to work out, if you shouldn’t work out. I’m gonna offer you completely different recommendation than when you’ve got a joint and muscle inflammatory response.

So within the guide, you may establish what irritation kind you’re, your main and your secondary. So all through the guide, truly, in each single part, we’ve got just a little mini guidelines and it breaks it down, hey, when you’ve got this inflammatory kind, implement these three issues first or do it on this order when you’ve got this inflammatory kind or don’t observe this recommendation when you’ve got this inflammatory kind. So it’s actually good for this one however not this one.

So that you’ll discover that out. Within the very first a part of the guide, there’s truly a quiz related to it that will help you establish your inflammatory kind. After which as soon as you recognize that kind, you may learn extra in-depth about it. Why did it occur? Why you? You understand, what are you gonna do to resolve this?

And quite a lot of instances folks inform us that, you recognize, it appeared like we’re talking proper to them as a result of there are quite a lot of commonalities in these inflammatory sorts.

Katie: And also you additionally talked about stress. And I feel that is that vast key that’s usually neglected. Like, we all know that stress is rampant in as we speak’s society. I don’t really feel like most individuals know what to do about that. After which if something, we get careworn about being careworn, after which it’s a complete cycle. So how do you’re employed along with your purchasers on beginning to undo that cycle of stress?

Maggie: Yeah. So I feel probably the most annoying issues in as we speak’s world and with practitioners is you’ll go into a physician’s workplace and so they’re like, “Oh, yeah. Stress much less.” You’ll be like, “Okay. Like, what? You don’t even know what I’m careworn about.” So, to begin with, like figuring out what you’re stressing about. After which what I love to do, as a substitute of simply saying scale back stress as a result of that’s actually laborious if you’re infected, you’ve all these well being problems, you’re scared that you simply’re not even gonna get solutions and like all these things, proper? It’s laborious to only cease stressing.

So what I love to do is I like to assist your physique out on a really sensible degree to form of trick it into lowering stress. So activating your parasympathetic nervous system. And so within the guide, we discuss rather a lot about activating your parasympathetic nervous system, which truly helps to cut back the stress ranges in your physique as a result of then what occurs is your physique can begin to rewire. And if you begin to rebalance your physique and scale back irritation, you’re gonna stress much less since you’re naturally not feeling like crap. It’s form of this infinite cycle.

We even have methods within the guide although as properly. And I discuss this on a regular basis, too, about mindset, and simplifying your life is a big one. Even decision-making, that was massive in my life. I like would stress out a lot in regards to the silliest issues that actually mattered to me. It felt actually massive to me, however on the finish of the day, I used to be severely worrying myself sick, like truly worrying myself sick over a choice. So serving to you to simplify your life, to focus on nourishing your physique, to focus on, you recognize, perhaps slowing down or giving your self grace or at the very least activating your parasympathetic nervous system at instances so as to assist to stability it out.

And even, Katie, in instances of pleasure. So, for me, quite a lot of my stress was additionally from what I say is like good stress. I used to be, like, actually excited. I used to be doing all these things. I used to be like, go, go, go, go, tremendous productive kind A, excessive performer kind of particular person. And to me, I used to be like, “Oh, I’m a go-getter. Like, I’m superior.” However to my physique, it was like, “Oh, my gosh, we’re falling aside right here,” as a result of I used to be all the time in a sympathetic nervous system even when it was good stress. So figuring out when that you must activate, when that you must get better, when that you must rejuvenate, and utilizing the methods resembling respiration methods or sure like biohacking sorts of instruments to just be sure you’re leveling out your stress ranges.

Katie: And I do know you’ve instruments on your web site and in your guide and you’ve got a course as properly. So I’m gonna be certain that these are linked within the present notes. Are you able to simply stroll us via the course briefly?

Maggie: Yeah. So the Eat to Deal with course is particularly round nourishing your physique with actual meals, with therapeutic meals, after which additionally figuring out what, when, and find out how to eat for your physique. So I form of information you thru the completely different choices and what could be finest for you. We additionally discuss rather a lot about every day cleansing. So I’m a giant fan of not doing heavy detoxifications if you find yourself struggling via your well being instantly as a result of your physique usually doesn’t have the vitality reserves to even detoxify. Most individuals aren’t even utilizing the restroom, you recognize, adequately all through the day. So like they will’t even detoxify. So when you’re releasing heavy metals and parasites, they’ve nowhere to go. So I’m actually serving to you to focus on every day cleansing that may assist your pathways begin to work, like your lymphatic system, like your liver, and your gallbladder, and your intestine, serving to your whole techniques to begin to activate and work higher. So it truly is, and I instructed you that on the very starting, vitamin and mindset are the 2 issues. Like, when you do nothing else, when you’re nonetheless utilizing your poisonous cleansing merchandise, in case your vitamin and mindset is on level, you’re going to really feel higher. And so actually simply form of focusing on these issues.

Katie: Good. And like I stated, I’ll put some useful resource hyperlinks within the present notes for you guys listening. That’s wellnessmama.fm. However as we get near the top of our time, questions I like to ask, the primary being, if there’s a guide or quite a lot of books which have had a profound influence on your life and if that’s the case, what they’re and why.

Maggie: Oh, gosh. There are… I might say one guide I learn not too long ago was on anti-aging. That basically had an influence on my life, proper?

All my labs are regular, all this sort of stuff, but in addition like what can I do extra? What can I do to assist my physique to cut back the stressors that I’m educated about? So I feel that that actually was useful. I feel that the writer was Dr. David Sinclair or perhaps simply David Sinclair, and it was known as “How Not To Age,” I feel. In order that was one which I actually truly loved. After which the incident with practical medication actually was useful in a big level of even simply exhibiting me that this world existed.

And so wanting via your weblog and seeing right here’s the hyperlinks or like what more healthy non-toxic Christmas objects and identical to clicking on the hyperlinks, that was so useful as I used to be beginning out.

Katie: Oh, that’s superior. Thanks for sharing that. That makes me so completely satisfied. After which lastly, any parting recommendation.
