Most Important Healthy Swaps
/Clean Air & Clean water should always be the very first health swaps made in a home. I have use Air Doctor filters for years. They not only grab larger particles like dog hair, bugs from plants and dust, they also trap mold VOCs as well as gases in the home. I have 4 units in my home as well as high efficiency HCAV filters that I change 3-4 times a year.
With water there are different needs, some people have large families and need water on demand without a tank. My favorite installed option for this is a multipure, please make sure you do a EWG water report to make sure you don’t have fluoride in your water as the multipure does not remove that.
For renters or someone who doesn’t want a system that is plumbed, the Aqua Tru new carafe is an awesome choice. This makes 64 ounces in about 20-30 minutes at a time. Aqua tru also makes a under counter option as well.
The cleanest water you can get is Distilled and this can be more cumbersome but it is a great choice. It requires boiling waters into steam so it uses more energy and is very often installed in a garage. I have upgraded to this recently and have found the midi classic (code HCL for a discount) from my pure water and it is one of the easiest, cleanest water distillers I have found with a surgical stainless steel tank. My favorite minerals that I add back in are Quinton isotonic and they can be purchased here for a discount. I purchase the quart size and keep it in the fridge and use it up to 6 months.
I mentioned clean air and your household cleaners and candles and anything that gets put into the air needs to be pure. Diffusers and pure essential oils are a great way to clean the air, change the mood and boost the immune system.
Cookware can destroy your health and your air. Teflon emits toxins into the air and your food and cheap 18/10 stainless leaches heavy metals into your food. I have used waterless cookware made from T304 surgical stainless steel for years. I love it because it doesn’t leach and cooks beautifully, It also lasts a lifetime!
360 cookware is the most affordable surgical stainless cookware I have found, made in the USA and my code HCL gets you 25% off (even off of reduced price sets).
I didn’t mention electrical pollution but an easy way to reduce dirty electricity is to plug your electronics into grounded outlets. Anything plugged in near your sleep space or work area should be plugged into a outlet like this. This is a great, easy swap that helps protect against surges and keep you healthier.

As a model and makeup artist for 20 years, I have a love for makeup and personal care that is high preforming and CLEAN. My favorite skin serums and cleanser are from Hempsolv. They are hands down game changer. My moisturizer, eye cream and makeup is all from Crunchi (code advocate10 for 10% off your first purchase.
