Let's breakdown hygiene into a few different categories:

  • Household Hygiene
  • Personal Hygiene
  • Dental Hygiene
  • Sleep Hygiene (refer to the Sleep Optimization section)

Household

Think about all the cleaners that you're using throughout your home (floors, windows, counters, toilets, etc). Many of these products contain toxic chemicals that you're inhaling or coming in contact with.

Personal

Related to the Detoxification section - double check that all products you're applying to your skin or hair have low toxicity scores on ewg.org. This includes soaps, shampoos, hair gels, lotions, etc. 

Dental

Baseline: with your new and improved diet rid of sugar and refined carbs (see Diet & Nutrition), your teeth are going to be much happier! Brushing at least twice a day, and flossing at least once a day is still highly recommended. Some other recommendations:

  • Try toothpaste brands without fluoride, such as Superteeth
  • Avoid toothpaste that has the disclaimer, "toxic if swallowed"
  • Use toothpaste with hydroxyapatite (HA), which is essential for bone regeneration
  • Consider getting any metallic fillings or caps replaced by a biological dentist as ceramic fillings can be toxic and existing root canals may cause significant health problems (joint pain, headaches, inflammation)

Brian Leddy CEO & Co-Founder, BodyStack (FDN-P)
My health story: Back in January 2023, I felt broken. Low energy, skin issues, carrying 25+ lbs of excess fat. Through careful research, smart training and nutrition, I battled to get myself to the lowest body fat % I've been in over 20 years. I've largely overcome my skin and energy challenges. My career story: Formerly an Adweek Executive and Media Entrepreneur, now owner of BodyCircuit, I pivoted my career to focus on inspiring and coaching people from all walks of life to make positive performance strides in their respective health journeys. As such, I'm also the Co-Founder of BodyStack :)
