Purity Coffee Organic Coffee
Coffee can have high levels of chemicals and mold. Choosing an organic, mycotoxin (mold) free, third party tested coffee is so important.
When we drink coffee as regularly and frequently as we do, buying quality matters.

Certified Organic specialty-grade Arabica beans
Roasted for maximum taste and ground for optimum extraction and retention of high CGA antioxidant levels
Opening Drainage Pathways
Did you know that you need to support your drainage pathways before completing an OwnDetox?
Drainage pathways are the pathways used to get toxins out of the body. These pathways need to be open before beginning any detox.
Your colon is the most important part of the drainage pathway. If the colon backs up (constipation), everything upstream backs up, leading to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. These symptoms show toxins are building up in your organs, tissues, and cells.
Highest Quality Tea Recommendation

Dirty Dozen + Clean Fifteen
Eliminating and reducing the toxins you consume through food is one of the most important steps you can take to reduce your exposure to toxins. Learn what produce should you avoid if you cannot purchase organic.
Keep in mind that the majority of soy, corn, canola, and sugar beets are genetically modified "foods." A small amount of salmon, papaya, and summer squash sold in the United States is produced from genetically modified organisms as well. Buy organic varieties of these crops if you want to avoid genetically modified produce. *updated information as of 2021
OwnCleaning Products
Research has shown that over the long term, exposure to cleaning and disinfecting products is as
harmful to our bodies as smoking 20 cigarettes a day.
Out of some 62,000 chemicals approved for use in the US, only about 300 have actually been tested for safety.
Choose safer ingredients for your family.

Laundry Detergent
We wear our clothes all day, we sleep in our sheets all night. Switching to a laundry detergent without synthetic fragrance and non toxic ingredients helps lowers your daily toxic exposure.

The fragrance industry is self-regulated. Safety testing does not have to precede product sales, and fragrance ingredients don’t require reviews by regulatory agencies.

OwnSkin Care Guide
Skin care alone does not give you glowing radiant skin, it also comes from within. Removing the toxicities and replacing your deficiencies will help rebalance your body and give you glowing radiant skin.
Your skin is your largest organ. What you apply to your skin can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream. Search your skin care products at the Environmental Working Group to see if there are hidden chemicals in the products you use daily.

OwnOral Hygiene
Oral care is foundational to your health. Below are some of my favorite resources for creating optimized oral health.

Boka Toothpaste
Ela Mint is unlike any other toothpaste, by design. It trades fluoride for nano-hydroxyapatite (n-Ha), an evolution in dentistry that’s been a gold standard in Japan for over 40-years. n-Ha makes up the primary foundation of teeth and bones, meaning it’s naturally restorative and helpful in reducing sensitivity. Plus, it’s 100% biocompatible and non-toxic. We complement this powerful ingredient with soothing aloe vera, bacteria-fighting xylitol, antioxidant-rich green tea and refreshing mint. It’s our way to address the “silent epidemic” in healthcare.
Ayurvedic Oil Pulling Rinse
Rooted in Ayurvedic Medicine, oil pulling helps remove unwanted bacteria from your mouth. You can oil pull for 5-20 minutes each morning. Benefits I have noticed from oil pulling are whiter teeth, fresher breath, and less plaque build up. Simply swish 1-2 Tbsp of oil in your mouth and swish for desired length of time. As a general rule, the longer you oil pull the more toxins and bacteria are removed.
Spit oil into trash (very important, do no swallow) and brush your teeth as normal.
Copper Tongue Scraper
The practice of tongue scraping is rooted in Ayurvedic Medicine. Scraping your tongue first thing in the morning before drinking water, removes build up on your tongue which overtime can prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. You will notice overtime fresher breath and a healthier overall oral microbiome.
Mouth Tape
I know mouth taping seems strange and overboard. However mouth taping has been an incredible additional for the health of my mouth and quality of sleep. Your oral microbiome must be in balance in order for your gut microbiome to be in balance.
Mouth tape prevents dry mouth where the wrong type of bacteria can thrive. Mouth taping can help prevent snoring, lower blood pressure, allow your body to get into the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest), prevent sore throat, and nasal congestion.
I cannot recommend mouth taping enough! It is a simple practice with huge benefits. For addition oral health care information click here.
Holistic Dental Care Book
A comprehensive guide to natural, do-it-yourself oral care, Holistic Dental Care introduces simple, at-home dental procedures that anyone can do. Based on a "whole body approach" to oral care, Holistic Dental Care addresses the limits of the traditional approach that treats only the symptoms and not the source of body imbalances.
Taking readers on a tour of the ecology of the mouth, dental health expert and author Nadine Artemis describes the physiology of the teeth and the sources of bacteria and decay. Revealing the truth about the artificial chemicals in many toothpastes and mouthwashes, Artemis also discusses the harmful effects of mercury fillings and the much safer ceramic filling options that are available. Covering topics that include healthy nutrition, oral care for children, and the benefits of botanical substances and plant extracts for maintaining oral health, Artemis introduces a comprehensive eight-step self-dentistry protocol that offers an effective way to prevent decay, illness, acidic saliva, plaque build-up, gum bleeding, inflammation, and more.

OwnKitchen
Heating or storing your food in plastic, cooking on aluminum or Teflon releases numerous toxins and endocrine disrupters directly into the food we are eating.
