Hidden Toxins in Makeup & Cookware: What the Beauty Industry Isn’t Telling You with Ashley Deeley

In this eye-opening clean health episode, I sit down with Ashley Deeley, clean beauty expert and wellness educator, to uncover the hidden toxins quietly impacting our skin, hormones, thyroid, and overall wellbeing, often without us realizing it.

From exposing where heavy metals, forever chemicals, and endocrine disruptors hide in everyday products to explaining how “natural,” “fragrance,” and “long-lasting” labels can be misleading, Ashley breaks down how modern living is contributing to inflammation, fatigue, skin issues, and hormonal imbalance.

Whether you’re a high-performing professional dealing with unexplained exhaustion, someone struggling with thyroid or skin concerns, or simply trying to make healthier choices without extremes, this conversation will completely change how you think about your bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen.

Ashley doesn’t promote perfection, she teaches practical, realistic upgrades that protect your health without adding stress.

What we cover:

• Why “clean beauty” is about what you remove, not what you add

• How forever chemicals hide in makeup, floss, and waterproof products

• The connection between fragrance, hormones, and thyroid disruption

• Why many anti-aging products actually accelerate aging

• Heavy metals in cookware, glassware, and kitchen appliances

• What to know about mattresses, bedding, and fire retardants

• How synthetic dyes affect skin and immune function

• Why detergents and cleaning products matter more than you think

• Travel hacks to reduce toxic exposure on the road

• How to read labels without needing a chemistry degree

• Small, realistic changes that make the biggest impact over time

Key Takeaways:

For High-Performers: You can’t outwork environmental stress. Hidden toxins quietly drain energy, disrupt hormones, and slow recovery, even when your habits look “healthy.”

For Thyroid & Hormone Health: Everyday products can interfere with endocrine function. Reducing exposure often matters more than what you add.

For Skin & Aging: What you put on your skin matters just as much as what you eat. Clean ingredients support regeneration; synthetic ones can accelerate inflammation and aging.

For Sustainable Wellness: Health isn’t about doing everything, it’s about removing what doesn’t belong and upgrading gradually.

Ashley doesn’t just talk about clean beauty, she provides a grounded framework for creating a healthier environment that supports long-term energy, sleep, and resilience.
