Oh my gosh! That ^^ is the name of a Jillian Michael's show episode. Her podcasts were free on itunes (probably) last month, maybe they still are! I haven't even finished listening to it, but it is incredible! (35 minutes through & there are 17 left.)
She starts out by talking about cancer & explaining that cancer is plainly the mutation of our cells. Our cells don't know what to do with the thousands of chemicals we're dumping in and on ourselves!! (Amen!) Cleaning, hygiene, beauty, and "food" products are the most popular! (And that food is in quotes because is it really food if it's full of chemicals?!?!) She mentions numerous toxic things in our lives like: cotton/polyester blend sheets (supposedly they give off formaldehyde); pesticide filled fruits & vegetables that are really only healthy when they're organic (potatoes, strawberries, local blueberries, imported nectarines, lettuce, spinach, that's all I really remember); dry cleaning chemicals; weed killer and more! She mentioned cleaning with vinegar, tea tree oil, and hydrogen peroxide. Cleaning with tea tree is new to me! I'll have to check that out =) Hydrogen peroxide: I just saw on Pinterest that mixing it with something else gets armpit stains out well. Vinegar: I love using it =)
The second topic of the show started when I lady called in saying that she rewards herself with a Rolo McFlurry when her job is bothering her. So many people think about the amazing flavor and how "good" they feel when they're treating themselves, but then feel horrible about themselves afterwards every time! So Jillian encouraged this lady to think through the whole eating process, including the "I feel like a fat failure now," and to let those thoughts stop her. She also suggested this lady should think rewarding non-food-items to save her money for (mani/pedi/shopping.) I would totally get a massage! I like how she thinks!
I absolutely loved when she mentioned doctors just treating sicknesses and symptoms instead of looking into why the patient has the problem! I've heard it before (maybe on the Alex Jones show?) and she said it too: Doctor's just aren't trained to be like this. (I'm sure some are, but the majority aren't.)
I gather that she eats a lot of organic food, and obviously she's probably a millionaire and we're not. But she pointed out that the same people who complain about not being able to afford organic are the same ones that spend $3-5 at Starbucks each day! Making healthy choices does mean sacrifice!
I just want to spend my life doing the things she talked about and teaching others how to also!

PS: I've loved this
nutmeg, honey, cinnamon mask! I've used it twice and I'm shocked that my face looks better! It's so hard to even describe! It just looks clearer and the pores next to my nose look healthier and I just love it! I wonder what cocoa powder will do?! There are so many anti-oxidants in it!
