Everything to keep your home mold-free with non-toxic swaps to keep
your immunity protected!
My absolute favorite home filter. When my house had mold, I was TERRIFIED to sleep at night because that was when I was in the home most and taking in the most air. I ran my filter 24 hours a day and immediately noticed the difference. I eventually m...
AirDoctor: Best Air Purifiers
With this home goods spray and laundry additive, I noticed a huge difference in my clothes that I kept after leaving my moldy home. I still use them to this day for peace of mind.
EC3 Mold Solution Spray
I bring these to hotels and have them going in my home consistently. They help clear the air and kill mold spores in the air. Great for travel!
EC3 Air Purification Candle
EVERYTHING from this company! I love their laundry detergent, their cleaning products. It does the job without the toxins!
Branch Basics
There's something terrifying to me about putting bleached paper against my most sensitive areas 5+ times a day (I drink a lot of water ;) So I love that this has not dye, bleach or chemicals and is made from bamboo.
Bamboo Toilet Paper: Bleach Free & Eco-Friendly | PlantPaper
The mold remediation process is a nightmare but I would recommend during the eradication process of the damaged materials, as you are ripping out walls, to also do fogging to kill any spores in the walls. Fogging also helps kill spores in the home on...
Mold Solutions: Mold Fogging
A great book to understand the full scope of mold poisoining and the affects it can have on your body long term as well as the ways to properly remediate.
Ultimate Toxic Mold Recovery Guide: Home & Health
Easy bags to throw things in on the go. I don't love cleaning them to be honest but after reading a study about plastic bags leaking chemicals into our foods, I'm fine with them being annoying to clean.
Stasher Bags: Eco Friendly Reusable Bags
Switching to glass gave me such peace of mind and ALSO so much easier to clean. These still have plastic lids but I also sometimes have to surrender with “good enough” over perfection. These are also the best priced one's I have found so far!
Glasslock 24 Piece Oven Microwave Safe Glass Food Storage Containers Set w/ Lids
You may not realize that you DRINK your mold every morning. Coffee beans have the HIGHEST contamination for mold out of any of product we consume daily. This ONE change could eliminate so much mold from your system. Not to mention heavy metals. The c...

After getting severe mold poisoning (twice), I had a few go-to tricks to help get me out of a big flare. The MOST important thing is to seek medical advice from an INTEGRATIVE DOCTOR (do not waste your time with the Western system when it comes to mo...
These are the absolute best and gentle binders Ive found - that arent $$$. If I’m having a flare, I take GI Detox to help clear it quickly!
GI Detox+® - Zeolite, Charcoal & Herbal Formula
A great detoxifier and immune support during your recovery. Gentler and affective. Drink it nightly before bed to help detox the body while you sleep.
Traditional Medicinals Yellow Pau d'Arco Tea
I love Thorne! They’re 3rd party tester and a reputable company with high quality ingredients. Berberine is another great herb that helps with gentle detoxification
Berberine & Reviews
Castor oil is a great way to support your liver. Your liver is the bodies “garbage disposal” and during detoxification needs all the help it can get. Castor oil supports the production of glutathione- a powerful antioxidant naturally produced in the ...
Organic Cold-Pressed Castor Oil
I researched for weeks comparing all the red light devices and technology out there and Lumebox was hands down the best. It uses infrared and near infrared technology. I use this on my cramps, my liver, my face (after micro-needling) and my mom even ...
Lumebox Redlight Therapy
A rebounder trampoline is so beneficial for lymphatic / fascia detoxification. I do 10 minutes of rebounding and 25 minutes of infrared sauna (via Higher Dose sauna blanket). A NASA study from the 1980s found that rebound jumping was a highly efficie...
Rebounder
The Higher Dose infrared sauna blanket saved me during mold detoxification. I was moving from house to house after leaving the home that was found to have mold and needed something to go with me. This blanket is PERFECT! I also bought a “laundry back...
Infrared Sauna Blanket
The sauna blanket gets very hot and they recommend wearing a long sleeve shirt, long pants and socks. I opted to just buy the insert which fits perfectly and is easy to wash post-sauna!
Infrared Sauna Blanket Insert
This test is a wonderful way to understand your bodies Mycotoxin load. Mycotoxins are essentially the “burp” that mold put out into the air and your body breathes this in and absorbs the mold. This test gives you scientific evidence of your body's to...
EMMA Test (10 Mold + 50 Plus Mycotoxins)
🪥🧴 Low-Tox Personal Care
When you're already sick, the goal is to try and lower your toxic load in other areas of your life, to give your body a fighting chance at healing. I eliminated most toxic personal care items because the mouth and the skin are directly affecting our ...
I have tried SO many brands of toothpaste and have now been using Uncle Harry’s for 3+ years. My teeth have never been cleaner, my dentist always remarks on how clean my teeth are every time I go for a cleaning and I haven’t had cavities in years. Th...
Uncle Harry's Mineral Toothpaste
As the body detoxes, you’ll notice your tongue may have more film on it - or maybe it already does (this is a sign of mold/candida build up). We want to assist the body and mouth biome by tongue scraping each morning to eliminate any toxins purging f...
Tongue Scraper
Just like their toothpaste, this is the best mouthwash I’ve ever used! Research has shown that conventional mouthwash can kill the good bacteria that keeps our microbiome balanced. Our mouth is obviously the beginning path to our gut, and I’ll do wha...
Uncle Harry's Natural Alkalizing Mouthwash
Sadly, micro-plastics are everywhere so if there are areas in my life I can eliminate them, I try to do that. I switched from my electric toothbrush to these bamboo ones and I love them!
Bamboo Toothbrushes
If you’re a die hard electric toothbrush stan, I recommend Suri. They use plastic free heads and tout a #1 rating in the U.S.
Full disclosure I have not tried Suri yet but will be soon!
SURI | Sustainable Electric Toothbrush
I love Salt & Stone. Their Lavender & Sage product is the lowest rating SKU on EWG’s rating compared to their other scents.
Here’s the thing with natural deodorants no one talks about: if you’ve been using chemical deodorants for years, it’...
SALT & STONE Aluminum Free Deodorant Extra Strength 48H
Similar to my note about toothpaste, keeping our oral biome free of chemicals, keeps our microbiome balanced.
I didn’t think these would work but they DO! Consistent use is key AND they do not cause teeth sensitivity!
Lumineux Teeth Whitening Strips 21 Treatments
Ok - I’ve used pure almond oil, I’ve used pure coconut oil, I’ve used less expensive oils from Amazon and I ALWAYS come back to this oil. It drys nicely. It gives you a beautiful shine. It’s really the GOAT of oils ✨
Undaria Algae® Body Oil I Non-Greasy Moisturizing Oil
I pair the body oil with this lotion and feel hydrated all day! They feel so luxe and give me peace of mind I’m not slathering myself in chemicals. I love their products so much!
Shop Body Moisturizers | Hydrating Vegan Body Oils & Lotions
As someone who has thick, unruly hair and hates washing it, this is probably the most used product in my cabinet.
Dry Shampoo | Natural & Non-Toxic
I realized the more toxic load on my body, the harder it was from me to heal from mold. So as much as I loved my nails done, I couldn't handle the additional toxic burden on my body. Olive & June is a great swap for gel and traditional nail polis...
Non-Toxic Long Lasting Nail Polish
One of the biggest side affects of mold poisoning for me has been the disruption of my hormones. With that came HORRIBLE cramps. I started to notice that using tampons made my cramps worse. I read an article about how the body can go into “shock” whe...
I hated ALL other brands. They felt bulky and like I was walking around in a diaper. These are the only ones I've liked and they are organic and unscented - both helping to not disrupt the endocrine (read: hormones) system.

Rael Organic Cotton Pads - Unscented
I love this body wash! It lathers so well, I feel squeaky clean without my skin feeling overly dry.
Non Toxic Vegan Body Wash with Organic Ingredients
I am OBSESSED with this sponge. It exfoliates so well and the round one is doubled-sided with a soft side and an exfoliation side. I throw it in the laundry twice a week and it holds up!
Clean Logic Exfoliating Sponge
Clean, award winning, incredible reviews! Can't go wrong! This shampoo leaves your hair feeling clean without the toxic chemicals or harsh drying ingredients!
Restorative Shampoo
I love this conditioner. Its super hydrating and I feel safe knowing that there are no harsh chemicals or parabens leaking into my system!
Restorative Conditioner
I LOVE this brand and their low-tox affective products! My hair has never felt so good! The conditioner is rich and deeply moisturizing.
Roz - FOUNDATION Conditioner
This shampoo is the BEST. I love the clean ingredients and the overall feel of my hair after using it. It doesn't feel like it strips my hair but does leave it feeling clean. Plus I'm a sucker for packaging and I just love this one.
Roz - FOUNDATION Shampoo
I have VERY thick, frizzy hair and this serum is top tier with detangling and smoothing. Its lightweight but affective. I use it most day's but especially when I want to let my hair air dry for a natural, frizz free wave.
Roz - MILK Hair Serum
My stylist used this on my YESTERDAY and I had to add it to the list immediately. It is so good, not heavy, very lightweight but works so well! HIGHLY recommend!
