II don’t normally address rumors, but this one? It’s too important for me to ignore. Millions benefit from this store and the misinformation needs to stop.

Sidenote: I hear about this very little these days but even a couple of rumors over the course of 20 years is enough for me to say something. And I also want to add that I don’t condone how some people may go about sharing this store. A good tip for anybody that wants to share something they love: Be a good friend and share genuinely and authentically! But like anything else, a bad experience with a person can ruin something that’s actually really great and that sucks!

“𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙙.”
Let’s be real, I love my nontoxic cleaners, but I also get Botox. I buy organic, then hit a drive-thru to avoid cooking. To those folks managing a fully nontoxic lifestyle—you never ever even have a goldfish cracker ever? I admire you! Most of us are just doing our best, and I’ll never shame anyone for choosing convenience in one area just because it’s not my area.
That said, every now and then, someone will send me an oudated article from 2013 or a random mom group post bashing the store I love. Sad fact: I don’t even share my eczema solution in those groups anymore because some people are just brutal. 
Or my favorite…people trusting the EWG app, which literally gives better ratings to companies that pay them.

“𝘽𝙪𝙩 t𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙨!”
My response? “What’s your concern with fragrances?”
Because here’s the thing, the real issue is phthalates, and these products contain zero. Also zero parabens, zero formaldehyde, zero bleach, zero ammonia, zero harmful dyes. The ingredient philosophy is public. Anyone willing to read it would know the facts.

𝙈𝙊𝙍𝙀 𝙁𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙎:
• A friend’s son’s severe allergies improved so much he got off meds.
• I, who am allergic to almost everything, have zero issues with these products.
• My eczema? Gone.
•  My skin? One of my most-complimented features, thanks to these products that start working from within. Gut health is important!
• These product are not just safe, they’re effective, affordable, American-made from a patriot-owned store and arrive at my door within a couple of days! 

A store that’s been around for 40 years with a 96% customer retention rate and an A+ BBB rating doesn’t get there by selling garbage.

𝘽𝙊𝙏𝙏𝙊𝙈 𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙀:
You have every right to dislike something. But regurgitating false rumors about a store that’s been a lifeline for so many? Nope, not a good idea..

Why Is Drinking Water So Important?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Some people say they don’t want to drink before bedtime so they don’t have to get up at night to use the bathroom.
I asked a cardiologist, “Why do people, especially old people, pee so much at night?”
His answer was: “When you stand or sit, the force of gravity holds water in your lower body. This is why legs can swell. When you lie down, your lower body seeks balance with the kidneys. So the kidneys remove the water along with the trash because then it’s easier.”

Water is essential to remove waste from your body.

According to cardiologists, the best time to drink water is best done at well-defined times to maximize efficiency
throughout the body. Here are the optimum times

  • Drink two glasses of water right after waking up to activate internal organs.
  • One glass of water 30 minutes before each meal will help improve digestion.
  • One glass of water before taking a bath (or shower) will lower blood pressure.
  • One glass of water before going to bed, will prevent a stroke or heart attack.
  • Drink water before bed TO avoid leg cramps during the night. (Your leg muscles, when you have cramps, are seeking water and moisture.)

Hot Day Hydration

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Hot days! Over 90’s! I am getting hydrated! Here’s a Public Service Announcement for anyone melting in this 100-degree heat:

If you’re only drinking water…congratulations, it’s great. But, unfortunately, you may still pass out from heat and dehydration. What you actually need is: Electrolytes. Electrolytes are your summer lifeline. Electrolytes are not just a “gym thing.” They’re not just a “sports drink” thing. Electrolytes make sure you don’t-end-up-face-first-in-the-yard thing.

You want the holy hydration trinity:
• Potassium (for muscle + heart function)
• Magnesium (for cramps + mood)
• Calcium (for nerve function)
Not a product with 500mg of sodium in a fluorescent blue bottle.

That’s why I like Sustain. Sustain has four electrolytes with vitamins C, E and B12! It also has six grams of sugar!
Sustain has sugar because that touch of glucose helps your cells better absorb all that hydration goodness.

If you get too much salt? You bloat.
Too little potassium? You cramp like a banshee.
No magnesium? Welcome to twitchy-town and mood swings.
If you get no electrolytes at all? Enjoy your front-row seat to heat stroke, dizziness, and possibly crying in the Kroger parking lot.

Pro tip: To hydrate properly, you need 100mg sodium and ditch the junk. You don’t need dyes, chemicals, or a sugar crash pretending to hydrate you.

After all, Hydration isn’t just water. It’s electrically charged survival.

That’s why I drink Sustain.

What Is ADDED Sugar?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Added sugar refers to sugars added to foods or beverages during processing, preparation or at the table verses sugars naturally present in the food. Some examples are:

  • Table sugar (sucrose)
  • High fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
  • Honey
  • Molasses
  • Corn sweetener
  • Fruit juice concentrates 

In other words, added sugar is any sugar that is not naturally found in the food but is added to sweeten or enhance its flavor. It is important to note that natural sugars, such as those found in fruits and milk, are not considered added sugar. 

So, give second thought to purchasing items that fall within these categories when you’re at the grocery store. Be very careful and read the nutritional label for hidden ingredients!

Making the safe choice, comes easy when you know

Ever feel like choosing safer products for your home and family automatically means spending more?
Let’s take a moment to clear that up that idea. You know, at first, I thought going the safer route would cost a fortune. But once I compared prices, I was pretty shocked.

Doe example, take a look at some current Walmart prices vs. my Online Wellness Store:

WalmartOnline Wellness Store
Native deodorant – $12.97Wellness Store – $5.49
Lume deodorant – $14.97Wellness Store – $5.49
Windex – $3.48 (1 bottle)Wellness Store Clear Power – $6.99 (6 bottles)
Downy Scent boosters – $15.97 (24oz)Wellness Store Boost! – $11.99 (32oz)
409 Cleaner – $3.54 (1 bottle)Wellness Store Tough ‘n Tender – $6.99
(6 bottles)
Gatorade – $7.88 (8 bottles)Wellness Store Sustain – $12.49 (20 bottles)
Dreft – $19.94 (80 loads)Wellness Store Melapower – $19.49 (96 loads)
Claritin – $19.77 (30 tablets)Wellness Store CounterACT – $12.29 (30 tablets)

That’s just a small sample of what’s available at my online store. It’s not just cleaner and safer—it’s honestly more affordable—and the convenience? Ships right to my door (usually faster than Prime!) Plus, they’re always throwing in free gifts just for shopping.

I like to say I’m Shopping better while saving money

Hot Tubs vs Saunas 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Hot tubs and saunas can both soothe aching muscles and provide welcome warmth, but hot tubs might offer greater health benefits.

A study found that soaking in hot water raises core body temperature more than dry or infrared saunas, triggering stronger heart, blood vessel, and immune responses.

That’s the takeaway from a new study done by researchers in the Bowerman Sports Science Center at the University of Oregon, which compared the physiological effects of soaking in a hot tub to sitting in a traditional dry heat sauna or a more modern far-infrared sauna.

Researchers monitored body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output (the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute) and immune cell populations and blood biomarkers of inflammation. Data were collected before, during and after subjects soaked in a hot tub and sat in traditional dry heat and far-infrared saunas.

All three options are effective but hot tubs fared better because:
hot water immersion gives you the most robust changes in core temperature. We can’t effectively dissipate heat as we can if we have contact with the air and we’re sweating to cool the body. When you’re submerged in water, the sweat mechanisms aren’t efficient.

Regardless, in addition to relaxation, there are great benefits to the heat!

And you thought you were doing your body a favor by switching from Coke to Diet Coke?

Think again.

It’s been said that a coke (or diet coke) is so caustic that it can clean the corrosion of your car battery. You want that in your gut?

From a happy shopping club member:

“It’s always kind of satisfying when you get actual proof that your supplements are doing what they’re supposed to do.”

Here’s the backstory…

Last year, I stopped taking most of my usual supplements—part of some health testing I was doing. I didn’t want anything messing with the results (long story…).

So when my annual bloodwork rolled around in March 2025, I really shouldn’t have been surprised… but I kind of was. My cholesterol and triglycerides were way up. Not ideal. I’d hoped the parathyroidectomy last fall would help normalize things, but no such luck. To top it off, my liver enzymes had climbed too. That one caught me off guard.

At that point, I didn’t hesitate. I got back on my trusted supplements—the ones I know work for my body—and gave it eight weeks before retesting.

The results? Cholesterol, triglycerides and liver numbers dropped beautifully. In fact, they’re even better than they were before I stopped everything in 2024.

I won’t be stopping again.”

Heavy Metals and Heart Disease

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Heavy metals like mercury, lead, and arsenic have been shown to increase blood pressure and raise the risk of heart disease. These metals can accumulate in your system over time, interfering with metabolic processes that support cardiovascular health.

How heavy metals affect your heart

  • Damages blood vessels
  • Increases oxidative stress leading to arterial plaque buildup
  • Increases blood pressure

How to reduce exposure

  • Filter drinking water using a system certified to remove heavy metals.
  • Limit consumption of high-mercury fish like king mackerel and swordfish.
  • Avoid lead-containing cookware and glassware.

Heavy metals can impact more areas than just the heart.
