Is the grocery store making you sick?

These past couple months, I’ve started feeling sick EVERY time I go to the grocery store! Here’s what I think is happening, and what I am doing about it.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the only place I really go out in the world to (besides my local hiking trail), is the grocery store. But after a couple of weeks/months, I noticed that I would leave the store and immediately feel ill. Sometimes I'd feel ill while in the store. Does this happen to anyone else?

It got me thinking... What is the common denominator? 

It's been over a decade since I really started to notice how sensitive to chemical cleaners I am.  I found that the more I removed them from my life, the more I noticed how they affect my body.  So, when I put 2 and 2 together, I realized that the grocery store really was making me sick. 

With the increase in cleaning chemicals being used in every store these days, I found that simply being in the store was a little overload for my body. I was having trouble detoxing the chemicals that I was breathing in, and thus causing that ill feeling.  

Listen in as I share my list of things to do to help your body better handle and detox those inevitable chemicals that we are all being exposed to more often these days. 

• Get fresh air immediately after the grocery store trip (hike, walk, be outside)
• Shop quickly
• Wear your mask in the store as an extra layer between you and the chemicals.
• Help your liver detox better by eating more cruciferous veggies, sulfur rich foods, beets, broths, teas, etc.
• Control the controllables! ie: don't bring the chemicals into your home! Make your home a safe, chemical free retreat so your body has an opportunity to reduce its toxic load.
