Hello, hello!
I’m Angie Bloom, Health & Wellness Coach, Personal Trainer, wife, mom of two boys and a Clean Beauty Advocate who is passionate about helping others achieve their wellness goals and help develop a deep sense of personal accountability to create lasting change from the inside out. 7 years ago, I connected the dots when it came to my health, hormones and home environment. I was working out regularly and eating organically when possible but then lost my health for a number of years, with treatment after treatment and would unknowingly slather hundreds of harmful chemicals and ingredients on my body's largest organ...my skin.
Through numerous small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) treatments, Lyme treatments, Epstein Barre, diagnosis of hypothyroidism, and heavy metal testing, I found I was completely missing the mark and I was outraged by what I had learned. Upon my healing journey, I also realized that the shelves of so many of my favorite stores most likely contain ingredients that have never been tested for human safety. Products I have not only used on myself but also my two boys growing up. Ingredients with KNOWN links to reproductive issues, cancers, hormone disruption, birth defects and ADHD (to name a few) are legally allowed in our products that we use every single day and with little to no oversight by our government.
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Post college, 24 years ago I landed on the East Coast and a few years later became a personal trainer. I have worked with men and women in the health & wellness industry for over 20 years. Four years ago, I lost my health which made me make a lot of decisions regarding the way I did my every day stuff including workouts, self-care, my thoughts, and nutrition differently with a TON of healing. I now work with men and women who have been diagnosed with cancer, auto immunity, hormone imbalance and weightloss. What started as a quest to heal my body, mind and spirit, it landed me an incredible opportunity to share my story and help others do the same. I’ve studied exercise psychology, nutrition, received my personal training certification along with years later graduating with a holistic MBA.
MY TOP PICKS
If you’re brand new to Beautycounter or just recently stepped through the doors, which we always know that the majority of the time there’s something fantastic on the other side, I’ve got some fun facts about the 10 products you won’t find me without lately. I’m sure I could make this my Top 20 Products because well I’m a Beautycounter junkie… I mean advocate, but here’s a great place to get started!
It’s important to know that for some ingredients, it’s not the ingredient itself that matters, but where it is sourced or how it is processed because there could be contamination from other harmful ingredients. This is why reading labels is not good enough; the ingredients need to undergo testing too.
GET READY WITH ME
Are you ready to amp up your self care? Are you ready to lose the toxic ingredients? Are you ready to help your body and reduce your inflammation and toxic load? Well then, you are in the right place! Lets get Clean Beauty Ready together today! It’s been a few days welllll maybe a little over a week where I have put any make-up on. I promise it’ll be fun and some dancing may be included! Up until I had lost my health in 2016, my makeup bag was packed full of conventional foundations, lip glosses, eye shadows, blushes, and mascaras. It’s crazy to think back that even though I knew I was slathering parabens and phythalates on my skin, both which interfere with hormone regulation, function and have been linked to reproductive abnormalities, I decided it was time to invest in finding all new safer for me personal care products.
