It could be your lotion, skincare, deodorant, lip balm, sunscreen—or even something sitting in your first aid cabinet. Before you immediately throw anything away, simply get curious: ❤️ What ingredients are in this product? ❤️ How often am I putting it on my body? ❤️ Have I ever stopped to think about how my skin responds to it? ❤️ Is there one product I could replace with a simpler option when it runs out? The goal isn't to overhaul your entire bathroom cabinet overnight. Remember, Body Wisdom is about awareness before action. You don't have to become afraid of everything you're exposed to. Start noticing, get curious, and make small changes that help you feel more confident about what you're putting on your body. In This Episode, We Discuss: How Jodi’s background in health psychology and psychoneuroimmunology shaped her approach to whole-person health The story behind Jodi, her mom, and her sister creating Green Goo Why they began questioning the ingredients in traditional first aid products How plant-based first aid differs from many conventional approaches Why your skin is about much more than what you see on the surface The connection between the skin and nervous system Why the skin microbiome matters The relationship between chemical exposures, inflammation, and hormone health Common ingredients Jodi recommends becoming more aware of, including parabens, petroleum products, phthalates, and some fragrances What endocrine disruptors are and how they can interfere with hormone signaling Key Takeaways Your skin is an active part of how your body interacts with the outside world—not simply a covering. What you put on your skin is worth considering alongside what you eat, how you sleep, and other lifestyle choices. Your skin microbiome is an important part of the conversation around skin health and overall well-being. Certain chemicals found in everyday personal care products can interfere with hormone signaling. Hormone health extends beyond reproductive hormones and is interconnected with metabolism, insulin, sleep, inflammation, and how you feel. Connect with Jodi Scott Jodi Scott is the co-founder of Green Goo, a women-founded, family-owned company focused on purposeful, plant-based skincare and first aid. With a master’s degree in health psychology and a background in psychoneuroimmunology, Jodi brings a whole-person perspective to the relationship between the mind, nervous system, immune system, skin, and overall health. After realizing that the ingredients in her own first aid cabinet didn’t align with the clean lifestyle she was creating for her family, Jodi joined forces with her mother and sister to develop plant-based alternatives. That idea ultimately grew into Green Goo, which began in 2008 and remains women-founded and family-owned.  Website:https://www.greengoo.com/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/greengoohelps/ LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodi-scott-7234331b8/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/GreenGooHelps TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@greengoohelps If This Episode Resonated With You...
