Hi. My name is Christen. At a young age, I had neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer. Throughout that challenging journey, there were doubts about my ability to walk, talk, or even speak again. I also lost all functionality in my fine motor skills. Yet, thanks to the unwavering support of my parents, who tirelessly sought out the right doctors and other help I needed, I managed to regain what cancer had taken from me. My experience prompted my parents to become more conscious of what we were exposing ourselves to daily. We became acutely aware of the presence of harmful chemicals that could potentially lead to health issues. Consequently, we made a concerted effort to transition to products free from toxins, opting instead for natural ingredients. Nowadays, my parents and I are committed to making conscientious choices by opting for organically made products. Over time, my mother took it upon herself to educate herself about healthier alternatives. She then shared her knowledge with the rest of our family, empowering us to make more informed decisions. She introduced us to helpful resources such as Think Dirty and EWG Healthy Living apps, which have aided us in identifying and selecting beneficial alternatives aligned with a toxin-free, natural lifestyle. While the exact cause of my cancer remains unknown--whether it was the lotions I used, the lip balm I applied, or the foods I consumed--making the switch to a healthier lifestyle has undoubtedly contributed to my overall well-being. My battle with cancer has forever bound my family and me to our lifestyle choices, but through these changes, we have found a path toward greater health and vitality.
