Is your clothing making you sick?
The hidden toxins in your wardrobe

Good morning friends,
Most people think about diet, movement, and mindset when it comes to health.
But what if your clothing is silently disrupting your hormones, damaging your thyroid, and even affecting your fertility?
Let’s unpack this.

The toxins hiding in your favourite outfits
That comfy sports bra.
Your go-to leggings.
Even that stretchy workout tee.
They’re often made from synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, spandex, and rayon.
Here’s the problem:
These materials are filled with chemicals like BPA, PFAs, and phthalates—linked to:
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Hormonal imbalance
• Infertility
• Cancer and respiratory issues
And it doesn’t stop there.
These fabrics shed microplastics that absorb directly through your skin—reaching your organs over time.
Your clothing can hurt… or heal
Back in 2003, a Jewish doctor named Heidi Yellen studied the frequency of fabrics.
She found that healthy human bodies vibrate between 70–100 MHz.
But most synthetic fabrics?
They register as low as 15 MHz or less, putting stress on your immune system.
Now here’s where it gets fascinating:
• Organic cotton matches your body’s natural frequency
• Linen and wool register up to 5,000 MHz—which may support healing
• Ancient cultures like Egypt even wrapped mummies in linen for its restorative effects
One key warning:
Don’t mix linen and wool.
Their frequencies cancel each other out—dropping to zero.
So what should you wear?
Go for 100% organic cotton—it’s affordable and widely available
Use linen for bedding or daywear to help your body recover naturally
Avoid synthetic blends, especially for clothing that sits close to your skin
This is one of the simplest detox swaps you can make.
