Biohacking with Kate

(Tip 21 of 21 biohacking tips)

We all love a good-smelling lotion or candle. But many of those sweet scents are loaded with endocrine-disrupting chemicals—and once you know, you can’t unknown.

Going scent-free can:

🌿 Reduce exposure to hidden toxins
💨 Improve indoor air quality
🧘 Support hormone balance
😤 Help with allergies and respiratory health

🔎 What’s Lurking in Fragrance?

“Fragrance” on a label can be a cocktail of up to 3,000 undisclosed chemicals. Many of them are linked to hormone disruption, skin irritation, and even mood disturbances. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) consistently warns about synthetic fragrance ingredients like phthalates and parabens.

🌼 How to Detox Your Space

• Choose unscented or naturally-scented personal care and cleaning products
  
• Ventilate your home often
  
• Use essential oils (mindfully) if you miss the aroma vibe
  

Going scent-free doesn’t mean boring—it means cleaner air, clearer skin, and a more grounded you.

With love,
Kate
