 Hethir Rodriguez

Welcome friend!
If you are reading this guide, I congratulate you! It means that you realize
that it is not only important to take care of our bodies but also to protect
our bodies from chemicals that may harm our hormonal systems.

This guide will make it really simple to reduce your chemical exposure,
gifting everyone in your home with better health, cleaner air and healthier
lives. I am here to help you every step of the way!
 Let's Get
Started!
Many products are being advertised as “safe”
and “all-natural”, but are they really all that safe,
especially as it pertains to your fertility and
family's health?

The packages are pretty and the labels are

clever, but the more you dig, the more you
find out.

In addition to having a negative impact on

hormonal and reproductive health, many
common household cleaning products can lead
to health problems like eye and throat irritation,
headaches, respiratory issues, allergic reactions,
worsened asthma, and possibly even cancer!

Yuck!! We don’t want that.

This guide will help you decide what’s truly

safe and give you the tools you need to
start making simple swaps for a healthier
home for you and your family. So let’s get
started!

THE EFFECTS HOUSEHOLD
CHEMICALS CAN HAVE ON
YOUR FERTILITY HEALTH

Even though they are invisible, some of the most

harmful chemicals for hormonal health can be
found in our homes. These chemicals are known
as xenohormones. They mimic hormones in
the body and they do it in a strong way.

xenohormones: artificially created

compounds showing hormone-like
properties. Xenohormones are
frequently implicated in endocrine
disruption.

Xenohoromones contribute to fertility issues

by causing excess hormones (usually estrogen)
in the body, which can affect hormonal balance.

Hormonal imbalance can show up as a missing

period, lack of ovulation, acne, spotting, recurrent
miscarriage, heavy periods, ovarian cysts, low
testosterone in men and low progesterone in
women.

WWW.NATURALFERTILITYINFO.COM
 Many common fertility issues share one thing
in common: high estrogen in the system - from
PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids to heavy periods.

Women who are experiencing PCOS,

endometriosis, fibroids and heavy periods would all
benefit from reducing their exposure to
xenohormones, and xenoestrogens specifically.

Another factor to consider is that these chemicals

can also impact the health of anyone who is living in
the home. One of the chemicals listed can also
affect the reproductive health of a baby in
utero. Many of these chemicals can impact lung
health, headaches or other allergic reactions.

This makes making the change a no brainer. My

natural alternatives will actually save you money,
have all the cleaning power you need and actually
smell good, naturally!

Here are the top chemicals found in the

home and how they affect health...

get down or freaked out. Get empowered

We got this, but let’s get educated and

empowered first...

When choosing products to use in our home, it seems easiest to just
grab whatever items are available at the store.

However, those products may not be the safest.

Sadly many of them - even the “green” ones - contain

ingredients you do NOT want in your house or anywhere
near your family.

When walking through the "cleaning" aisle at the grocery store, do

you notice the overwhelming smell as you walk the aisle? I personally
have to avoid that aisle because it makes my eyes water and makes
me sick to my stomach.

I may be more sensitive than most, but know that those

fragrances and chemicals that you smell will end up in your
home and in your body. This should make you concerned.

But what ARE those ingredients and why do we want to avoid

them?

Let’s take a look!

WWW.NATURALFERTILITYINFO.COM
Ingredients to Avoid...
FORMALDEHYDE
This is a preservative that is often seen in lotions, cosmetics, and
1 baby wipes. It’s a known carcinogen and can cause skin and
respiratory irritations.

PHTHALATES
These are a group of chemicals found in personal care products
and many plastics and vinyls. They can affect your endocrine 2
system, reproductive health, and even potentially cause cancer.

VOC'S
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are gases that are emitted
3 into the air. They’re found in some building materials, home and
personal products, gasoline, and even things like glue and
permanent markers. Breathing VOCs can cause eye, nose and
throat irritation as well as difficulty breathing and nausea, even
damage to the central nervous system and other organs. Some
VOCs can even cause cancer.

SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS) AND SODIUM LAURETH

SULFATE (SLES)
These are surfactants commonly used as an emulsifying cleaning 4
agent in household cleaning products (laundry detergents, spray
cleaners, and dishwasher detergents). In other words they keep
things mixed up and help them create lather. Oftentimes they are
synthetically derived and have the potential to cause skin
irritation.

WWW.NATURALFERTILITYINFO.COM
 Ingredients to avoid...

ETHANOLAMINES (MEA, DEA, AND TEA)

These are found in many household and personal care products
5 and have been linked to organ system toxicity, bioaccumulation,
and even cancer.

TRICLOSAN
Triclosan is found in many antibacterial soaps, hand sanitizers,
and detergents as well as some toothpastes, deodorants, 6
cosmetics, plastics, and more. It can affect the thyroid and
endocrine system and was recently banned by the FDA for use in
“antiseptic washes” but can still be found in some other products
like toothpaste, cosmetics, and even clothing, kitchenware,
furniture, and toys.

FRAGRANCE
The word “fragrance” can appear on a label and contain an
7 enormous list of ingredients that a company is not required to
disclose, as it is considered a "trade secret". That means a
product could contain some awful ingredients and the consumer
wouldn’t even know! These chemicals could be linked to cancer,
reproductive and developmental toxicity, allergies and
sensitivities. Why take the risk?

 Go ahead and take a peek at
the products you currently
have at home right now.

Do you see any of these

ingredients?

What products do you think

you are ready to ditch and
switch?

Now that you know more about what lurks, let’s talk about
what you can do about it.

See, I have been into everything natural my entire life and

one thing that I have experienced is not all natural
products are super effective.

Whether it is hair care, skin care, or household cleaners, I

have been through them all and finally have found what
works for me and what doesn’t.

I am going to save you sooo much time, as well as a

ton of energy and money, by helping you get the good
stuff and get it at a discount. More on that in a
minute!

You may be wondering where to start. It all starts with

the ditch & switch. Don’t feel overwhelmed. You can do
this in stages or all at once, it depends on your budget.

I think the most important place to start is with…

Step 1: Household cleaners,
toothpaste, mouthwash,
hand soap

Let’s jump into household cleaners,

1
toothpaste, mouthwash and hand soap...

These are products we use every day and will

cover every surface of our homes.

I tried many brands at my health food store,

but I felt that they never really got things
clean.

Even though we're using natural

products, I still want bacteria and germs
to be gone, and I felt like those products
weren’t cutting it.

I thought for a second, what in nature is

antibacterial that can kill germs and icks
on contact while being strong enough to
get rid of the gunk and grime?

Essential oils, friend. Essential oils do all of

these things!

Most natural cleaners have great marketing

"scents" on them like lavender, lemon, etc. But
they don’t actually contain the essential oil —
just more fragrance.
 In my search, I finally found products
that were made from 100% pure
essential oils and contained ample
amounts to have cleaning and
purifying abilities without the chemicals
that we discussed.

They are made with naturally occurring

surfactants derived from coconut and
sugars, so you get a powerful cleaning
action without harmful, abrasive
chemicals.

Once I tried them, I got really excited

because not only did they work, they
also cost much less than what I was
getting at the store. Win-win!

My house is clean, smells great, and I am

saving money and using less packaging.

The main essential oils that are antibacterial and cut grease are:

Clove Rosemary
Cinnamon Bark Lemon
Eucalyptus

WWW.NATURALFERTILITYINFO.COM
Something to remember when using
essential oils is they must be of high
quality and unadulterated to actually
work, and there needs to be enough
in the product to do the job.

So just any ole’ oil won’t do.

I personally use and love the Thieves

Cleaning product line. They have quality
products made with the highest quality
essential oils and other naturally-derived
ingredients. My home smells divine and
gets sparkly clean! 100% naturally.

I am also able to get them at a big

discount and shipped to my house
with free shipping.

Step 2: Produce wash and
clothes detergent
The next area for a healthy home makeover
would be to start the habit of washing pesticides
off of your produce and switch your clothes
detergent.

Eating organic is important for fertility. This is not only

because the growing practices are better, but just as
important, organic produce does not have herbicides
and pesticides (known chemicals to negatively affect
reproductive and hormonal health in yourself and your
future babies) sprayed on them.

While eating organic is important for reproductive

health, for both yourself and your next generation, not
everyone is able to do this or to do it all of the time.

The next best is to make sure you wash your produce.

Pesticides and herbicides, like glyphosate, are

sprayed onto the plants and produce, so washing
them will help to remove this residue.

Essential oils are great for this, especially at removing

the waxes as well. Most pesticide sprays include some
time of wax or oil to help them stick onto the plants
and not get washed off by the rain or irrigation.

The best oils for this are going to be lemon, lime,

cinnamon and clove. I find the Thieves Fruit &
Veggie wash to be very effective.
What about clothing
detergent and static sheets?

Our skin absorbs everything we put

on it, including the residue from our
washing detergents.

I find that I am very sensitive to most

clothes washing detergents, even natural
ones, and I have to be careful what I use.

I would break out in rashes and get

irritated with anything that had synthetic
fragrances.

Little ones are also more sensitive to

these chemicals.

The simple solution is to ditch and switch

your clothing detergent, softeners and
dryer sheets for a product that has
effective yet gentle plant based cleansers
and the cleaning power of essential oils.

You can do all of this using the Thieves

line and essential oils.
