Hi Friends, What if your favorite “comfy” outfit is quietly messing with your health? In this episode of Start Living Sustainable , I’m sharing what most people never consider: your wardrobe could be contributing to fatigue, breakouts, restless sleep, and even hormone imbalance—and it has nothing to do with how it fits. You’ll hear how synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex can affect your skin, disrupt your hormones, and trigger symptoms we often blame on “just stress.” I also touch on my Wardrobe Diagnostics™ method—a signature part of my one-on-one coaching sessions. It’s a powerful first step that helps my clients connect the dots between what they wear and how they feel, so they can start experiencing better energy, clearer skin, and a calmer, more supportive home environment. Inside this episode: Why your clothes might be making you feel tired, itchy, or anxious What your closet may be telling you about your overall wellness How color and fabric aren’t just aesthetic choices—they’re biochemical inputs The first simple steps to clean up your wardrobe without being overwhelmed Xoxo, Cynthia ✨ Ready to reset your space and feel better at home—without doing it alone?

Hey Friends! In today's episode, I want to take a look at why you may be struggling to reach your wellness goals, and it's not what you think, -- it's your mindset? I get it. Life is busy. Maybe you’ve told yourself: 🕒 “I just don’t have the time to focus on my health right now.” 💰 “Eating clean and switching to non-toxic products is too expensive.” 💪 “I don’t have the discipline to stay consistent.” I’ve been there too. I know how it feels to want to change but to also feel stuck in old patterns, doubting if it’s even possible. But here’s the truth: Time, money, and willpower aren’t the real obstacles. Your mindset is. And once you shift your thinking, everything else starts to fall into place. Today, I’m walking you through these mindset blocks that are keeping you from implementing a healthier lifestyle—plus how to reframe your thoughts, stay consistent, and finally see results. And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone. So if you’ve been feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck, this episode is for you.

Cheers Health-Conscious Fans, In this episode, I’m unpacking a Super Bowl commercial that made me pause—not for its creativity, but for its message about our health. It called out America’s obesity crisis and the system that profits from keeping us sick. But was it really exposing the truth, or was it just another strategic marketing play? At first, I thought— finally, someone’s addressing the real issue! But then, I saw the catch. The ad wasn’t just revealing a problem; it was setting us up for another quick-fix solution. 💡 So let’s break it down: 🔥 Who really wins in this $160 billion weight loss industry 🔥 Why the system isn’t broken—it’s designed to keep us dependent 🔥 How you can take control of your health instead of playing by their rules The good news? You don’t have to keep falling into their trap. You can step away from the cycle, make informed choices, and take back control of your health— on your terms.
