Hi, I am Judith Raye.  I am a wife, mom and a grandmother of three amazing girls. For many years I suffered with medical issues that included infertility, unexplained significant weight gain, hair loss, foggy thinking, and skin issues. For years I was told there was no explanation for my myriad of medical symptoms and it was all in my head.  At about the time I was ready to accept the fact that I was nuts, I was finally diagnosed by a naturopath with cortisol imbalance and hypothyroidism.  At last something had a name to go with my symptoms. The only problem there was no explanation as to why I had these conditions.

During this same timeframe, I worked as a paralegal in the legal industry.  We represented individuals who had suffered from increased incidents of cancer and other auto-immune diseases due to asbestos exposure, as well as from the use of prescription drugs with questionable FDA approval.  While working for this particular law firm I had benefit of reading many medical publications from our various experts regarding the links to cancer and auto-immune disorders.  More information was emerging on the Internet regarding the link to cancer and exposure to many environmental factors.  It was during my husband’s cancer diagnosis and treatment that I decided I to do more research on my own.   This was the beginning of my quest to discover what we needed to do/eat to get and stay as healthy as possible. 

First let me say, I am no expert in the field of what is clean, and so I rely on information from continual research, including information from the “Environmental Working Group” also known as “EWG”.  EWG’s stated goal is to “…empower people to live healthier lives in a healthier environment.”  Along with EWG, I also look for companies that are certified B Corporations, corporations that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance and use their company to seek to balance between profit and purpose.  

Join me on my journey to clean living.  I will share my experience, complete with pictures swapping one product that is not so clean to that of a clean alternative product one product at a time.  Old habits die hard.  In the end it will be so worth it!   Your family will thank you, your body will thank you!

And from time to time I will share my latest painting I am working on, usually something one of my granddaughters have asked me to paint.  Most recently, they asked me for fairies, unicorns and Pegasus.

Please feel free to email me anytime at or find me on social media.

 
Thank you so much for reading.
