The FRESH Start Detox — Clean Home, Clean Body, Clean Mind🌿

True detox isn’t just about green juice …it’s about reducing daily exposure to toxins that quietly affect hormones, metabolism, and mood. For women over 40, small changes in cleaning, skincare, and home products can make a huge difference in energy, inflammation, and overall wellness.

Creating a cleaner, toxin-free environment supports every part of our FRESH Framework at Ample Health & Wellness. These are our favorite tools and swaps to help you clear out what doesn’t serve your body or your home.


🧽 1. Plant-Based All-Purpose Cleaner

A non-toxic cleaner made from natural ingredients like coconut soap and essential oils can handle most surfaces without harsh chemicals. Method and Seventh Generation are two trusted options.

Why I love it: You can clean confidently without breathing in fumes or leaving chemical residue on counters where you prep food.

🧴 2. Refillable Hand & Dish Soap Glass Bottles

Switching to refillable hand & dish soap glass pump bottles reduces both plastic waste and chemical buildup in your home.

Why I love it: Simple swaps like this protects the environment while keeping your kitchen aesthetic fresh and clean.

🧺 3. Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent Sheets

Traditional detergents often contain fragrances and dyes that can irritate skin and disrupt hormones. Detergent sheets dissolve easily, clean effectively, and come in zero-waste packaging.

Why I love it: Clean clothes, no plastic jug guilt — and they’re perfect for sensitive skin.

🌸 4. Organic Feminine Care Products

Your body deserves products that respect it. Switch to organic cotton tampons, pads, or menstrual cups free of chlorine, fragrances, and dyes.

Why I love it: Fewer chemicals mean less irritation and reduced exposure to toxins that can affect reproductive and hormonal health.

🌿 5. Natural Deodorant

Aluminum-free deodorants, like Native or Lume, neutralize odor naturally without blocking sweat glands. A cleaner swap for one of your most-used daily products.

Why I love it: It’s a gentle, hormone-friendly option that still keeps you feeling fresh all day.

💧 6. Clearly Filtered® Water Pitcher

Clean water is the foundation of any detox. The Clearly Filtered pitcher removes over 200 contaminants — including PFAS, chlorine, and lead — while keeping healthy minerals intact.

Why I love it: Better water supports hydration, liver function, and hormone balance.

🕯️ 7. Soy or Beeswax Candles

Traditional candles often release synthetic fragrances and soot. Soy or beeswax candles burn cleaner, smell amazing, and add calm to your space without harmful residues.

Why I love it: They set the mood for mindfulness, prayer, or quiet moments while purifying rather than polluting your air.

🪶 8. Air-Purifying Plants

Houseplants like peace lilies, snake plants, and pothos filter indoor air naturally. They also add beauty and serenity to your space.

Why I love it: Plants improve air quality, reduce stress, and remind you to breathe.

Tracking your clean-living journey keeps motivation high. Use a wellness planner to note small wins — like switching products or staying consistent with hydration.

Why I love it: Progress feels real when you can see it written down.


🌸 Final Thoughts

A cleaner lifestyle isn’t about perfection …it’s about awareness. Every small swap you make removes something harmful and replaces it with something healing. Start with one room, one product, or one habit. Over time, these choices compound into major improvements in your energy, mood, and overall health.
