So what do you think is really going on?

Hormones can still be a part of it.

I firmly believe that almost every case of acne can be healed, cured by changing your diet, ditching chemicals, and getting your circadian rhythm right.

I think it's a little bit more hormonally driven, um, during the teenage years, but there's so many things that can play into acne.

The chemicals in conventional skincare products, those can mess with our hormones at any age.

I mean, I have known 50-year-old women that still struggle with acne, that when they ditch these chemical-laden products, it gets better.

Our hormones are also totally driven by our light intake.

What is a tip for moms who want to grow their prayer life?

Is that something you've, you've noticed and why you started using it?

Absolutely.

Nothing hydrates and nourishes the skin like tallow does, and I was so excited about this ingredient when I started researching it.

I became familiar with it because of my family's farm, and I thought it was so cool.

It's an ingredient that's been used ancestrally for generations.

It's really stood the test of time.

But I just didn't know if it would catch on, and so I considered not using it in the beginning because this was back in 20- a little bit before 2015.

Mm.

I thought we all kind of knew aluminum and deodorant

It's really not good for you.

You shouldn't be, you know, putting it on your glands and your lymph nodes and your armpits.

But some people say it's such a small amount, it's no big deal.

We have aluminum in our food.

So obviously you were researching this at the time that you decided to create this effective natural alternative.

What did you actually find about the toxicity of antiperspirants in your research? Yeah, I mean, I, my per- my opinion is that aluminum is toxic.

How do you navigate being a present mom and also having this thriving business that demands so much of your time?
