I have to share my story in hopes that it will encourage others to see what a big issue synthetic fragrances are and how their removal can make a huge impact. Last year, We discovered that My 6 year old daughter was developing course pubic hair. You can only imagine how devastated and confused my husband and I were. We have used Branch basics for years, have organic mattresses, air purifiers, eat clean and store food in glass. We took her to the doctor who said there’s nothing we can do about it and all we can do is just monitor it. But then I reached out to Allison who asked if we used or had any synthetic fragrances/scents in our house - and said that even small amounts of these chemicals can disrupt our delicate endocrine system. Well I don’t buy them, but they are everywhere and had snuck in through gifts…and everything is scented these days! Bath bombs, candles, scented shoes, erasers, lotion, etc. So we got them all out! I’ll admit, I was hoping this would stop the issue but didn’t believe it would reverse it, which is exactly what happened!! We are thrilled and now understand just how important removing all synthetic fragrances is from our home. Read Less

I have been using (your products) for years, but with your recent #tossthetoxins campaign, I switched some of the artificially fragranced items (such as beauty products, dishwasher detergent, and free and clear laundry soap). Oh my goodness! I’ve never noticed how bad these products were for me and my family until I cut them out completely. I get almost instant headaches now that I encounter fragrance at other people’s homes or in the store. We spent a week visiting out of state recently, and stayed in a home that uses grocery store (heavily fragranced!) cleaning products during that time. I definitely felt it. I had my monthly cycle while I was there, and I was up all night with cramps- they were excruciating and I’ve never had them so bad before! My cramps have completely gone away since I tossed the toxins at home, so this was unexpected. I am convinced it was because of the cleaners and probably the sheets I was sleeping on. I am never leaving home without my BB again! I am currently trying to revamp my diet as well, and am feeling better already. I had NO idea how bad our environments can be to our health. I love you guys so much! Thank you for everything!! Read Less

We have seen huge improvements in our health since tossing the toxins. For this challenge we took on cleaning our son’s room who has chemical sensitivity. Which caused him to have an outburst of frustration and falling apart. We followed the Branch Basics guide to deep cleaning. Wow, what a difference this has made. Our son slept soundly for the first time in a very long time. His outbursts were very minimal, and we have seen them continue to decrease...We can still see the difference and daily improvements in his health as we keep the toxicity in our home minimal and removed. His mind is sharp and not foggy like it had been. Read Less

Hi there! Just a note to say that I got pregnant on my first cycle of trying, and I swear I owe YOU all some credit! Over the last 8 months or so I have made HUGE changes to my home environment and all the hygiene items we use as a family, using your education as a guide. I feel so much more confident this pregnancy because I know I’m putting safe products on my body and surrounding myself with non-toxic choices Thank you for all the guidance you put out for your followers! #BranchBasicsForLife.

World Asthma Day seems like a good excuse to check back in with you ladies and sing some praises for BB. Last spring was our first in Texas and it was BRUTAL for my husband's asthma. SO much so that I forced him to go to some specialists over the summer because I was actually really scared some nights when he couldn't catch his breath. I got rid of every toxic cleaning & hygienic product I could in our house last fall and bought BB. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago...I commented on how much better his breathing was this spring and he told me it's the best he's felt in basically his whole adult life. All I did was get rid of the toxins in our house and start using BB. I know he still has some triggers for his asthma, but it's such a blessing to have a safe, clean air in our house for his sake.

We ran out of trash bags the other day so I sent my husband to target and he bought lavender scented trash bags 😱 we had a long talk and I explained to him why I buy unscented lol so a week later we threw some trash bags in the trunk and headed to the dump..a few minutes into the ride he starts staying he has a headache and cracks the window. (MEANWHILE the whole ride I’m thinking about how bad the lavender trash bags smell and how I could feel my eyes getting irritated) I literally shouted BABE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!! First time EVER he noticed right on the spot something was making him sick. We’ve been using BB for months now and I 100% believe it’s because we have tossed so many toxins from our home and eliminated that cleaning scent/fragrance that my husband had this experience with the scented trash bags. Love you guys!!! Read Less

I have been eating relatively clean for a couple of years, which is why I was so frustrated that I was still having hormonal migraines. I had been thinking about the possibility of a second pregnancy for a couple of months, but was discouraged by how horrible I felt throughout my cycle. I was low energy, irritable, and had low grade migraines that would increase in intensity as I got closer to ovulation. In a moment of desperation, I followed the Toss the Toxins instructions and got rid of all the pollutants, I was skeptical, and didn’t notice a difference until I unearthed a box of scented candles from the closet in the bedroom I had been sleeping in. I immediately had a physical reaction to the onslaught of fragrance, my head started to fog and I felt nauseous. When I got that box out of there and aired out the room, it felt better, I slept better, and I have not had a migraine since. The next month I felt energized and clear headed— and I got pregnant:) Read Less

This is such a great course and so easy to follow! I have been working on our bathrooms and think I have my daughter on board as well. To note, I have had an enlarged lymph node on my neck since being diagnosed with CIRS. Although they say I am no longer a CIRS patient, this enlarged lymph node has remained. Within one week of cleaning out my laundry room alone, the enlarged lymph node is GONE! Like I said in my previous email, the products I have been using are better, yet I was still holding on to A LOT of products no longer in use (so silly of me, but I think pretty common). I removed 1.5 trash bags from this room alone. I can't wait to see what else clears as I make my way through my home. I think this is presented in such a thoughtful way. It is easy to understand and takes you through the process in meaningful and easy to understand steps. I think for the community we work with, this will be an important step in our recommendations.

This is so wonderful! I cleaned out my laundry room this weekend and was shocked by how much I have been "holding on to". This process is very eye opening! I have been aware that my products and choices matter for some time, and for the most part, my current choices are better. However, they are not clean enough and I was storing a lot of toxins in my home! I threw away 1.5 trash bags in this room alone! I can have a hard time discarding items because of the money spent. Your videos address this beautifully and make it very easy to discard. Read Less

I used to suffer from chronic headaches and migraines until I tossed the toxins. Within two months, I went from having daily headaches requiring NSAIDS to only 1-2 headaches per month and 1-2 migraines per year. This was life changing and I was thrilled to cut out over the counter medications to treat the pain. My partner is a quadriplegic and suffers from chronic nerve pain especially when trying to fall asleep. He experienced almost immediate relief in his nerve pain after we removed harmful products and fragrance from our home. Branch Basics has proven to us that what we bring in our home really does matter in living a healthier lifestyle. Read Less

At the beginning of 2021, I read Allison’s Journey to Fertility, and it gave me new hope that I could heal from my chronic illness that had been brought on by toxic mold 6 years ago. I had been interested in natural health already, and I thought I was using safe products and eating healthy foods, but I was trusting too much in the word ‘natural’ plastered on labels. Thanks to you all, I’ve learned how to truly remove all the toxins from my home, how to eat organic, whole, real foods without additives, how to replace plastics in my home with nontoxic alternatives, how to deal with the mold issue in our basement. It’s also thanks to your blog that I found the BioAge supplements which have helped me so much! You have been a really huge part of my healing journey, and I’m now so very pleased to be able to tell you that my body is finally truly healing. Indigestion, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, and hormonal issues are all nearly eliminated! I cannot thank you all enough!! Read Less
