TOX - SICK Don’t Let Toxins in Your Home Make You Sick!

By Lezli Edgington, Wellness Coach April 5, 2019


As moms - we want our homes to be a haven, a safe place to raise our children.   However, our homes have a plethora of toxins, some of them can have a significant impact on your family’s health.

My name is Lezli Edgington.  I am a Wellness Coach and have been passionate about health and wellness for over 25 years.  I grew up in New Brighton and have 2 children.  

I help families remove toxins from their home environment and assist them in finding natural solutions for their family's health concerns.  

There is a lot of information about this topic – but I wanted to give it to you in a nutshell.

We need to think of our bodies and as a bunch of molecules - because we ARE!   The toxins in our home cleaning products and personal care products are interacting on the molecular level with our bodies and creating health issues.  

Toxins from our everyday cleaning products can interfere with the function of our thyroid.  Our thyroid regulates our metabolism, endocrine, cardiovascular, neurological, and immune function (kresserinstitute.com)

These toxins can also cause chronic respiratory problems, allergic reactions, headaches, and asthma.  Just so you know - Manufacturers are not obligated by U.S. law to list all ingredients in consumer cleaning products. Products that are labeled "green" do not necessarily mean they are safer. (lung.org)


COMMON TOXINS IN OUR PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS  (soaps, lotions, skin care, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, lip balm, cosmetics - the list goes on)

Formaldehyde - The most common preservative in our personal care products.   It is a respiratory irritant and has been linked to an increased risk of asthma and allergies in kids. (among other things)  Formaldehyde has at least 7 different names so it is sometimes difficult to identify this ingredient on the label.

A product can have organic ingredients – but if it sits on a shelf or in a warehouse – you can be sure it has preservatives in it. 

Parabens - Parabens are known to disrupt hormone function, an effect that is linked to increased risk of breast cancer.   Campaign for Safe Cosmetics reports that parabens have also been linked to reproductive, immunological, neurological and skin irritation problems. (Scientific American)

Phthalates - In the past few years, researchers have linked phthalates to asthma, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, breast cancer, obesity and type II diabetes, neurodevelopmental issues, behavioral issues and autism spectrum disorders  (The Guardian)

Triclosan - Alters hormone regulation in animals - Might contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant germs - Might be harmful to the immune system  (Mayo Clinic)

Do you or your kids suffer from:

  • Asthma 
  • Allergies
  • Skin conditions
  • Stomach aches
  • Autoimmune issues
  • Inflammation
  • High blood pressure
  • Diabetes 
  • Obesity? Want to lose weight?
  • Low Energy? Need more energy?


What I do as a Wellness Coach:

I help families remove toxins from their home environment and assist them in finding natural solutions for their family's health concerns.  I do not sell anything - I give short educational virtual tours of the online wellness store that has over 400 nontoxic products that are safe, effective and very affordable.

The online store is a cross between Costco, Whole Foods and Amazon

Costco:           You get wholesale prices (30-50% off) but you do not have to buy in bulk

Whole Foods:  Natural/super high-quality ingredients - at a Target price

Amazon:  Everything is directly shipped to your door

Our products are only 4-6 weeks old on your doorstep so there is no need for harmful preservatives.

Nontoxic Products include:

  • Cleaning products    (No child proof caps required! Take off those rubber gloves!)
  • Personal care products 
  • Pure essential oils 
  • Medicine cabinet
  • Make-up and hair care
  • Sport Nutrition 
  • Nutritional foods and snacks  (your kiddos will love them)
  • Supplements that are patented and proven effective with 3rd party research

 96% of the people that shop this month - will shop again next month - so that is how much they love the products!

Create a safe haven for you and your children.  If you take a virtual tour and decide to try out the online wellness store – you will receive $100 in free product.

Here’s to Adding Years to Your Life and Life to Your Years!
