At Hormone Detox Shop we respect people of all ethnic backgrounds, histories, sexual orientations, ages, religions, and financial circumstances. We support Black Lives Matter.
I acknowledge that we have not done enough to actively promote anti-racism and inclusivity in our community. In the coming months and years, we aim to demonstrate more inclusion and contribute to organizations doing the grassroots work of promoting racial and environmental equality.
These are the steps we're talking to make Hormone Detox Shop more inclusive and accessible to all people:
Educating on the links between environmental issues, including pollution, and increased toxic exposures to Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other communities of color, as well as low-income communities
Offering more education on free and low-cost action steps that support detox, regardless of income
Increasing the diversity of voices in our interviews, and specifically elevating the voices of BIPOC members of the health community
Making sure our marketing content is more inclusive by increasing our visual representation of Black and Brown bodies, so those communities feel more welcome.
These are the steps our team is taking to become more inclusive:
Participating in Anti-Racism Training for Wellness Professionals with Chrissy King
Participating in Anti-Racism Training with Our Own Voices
Conducting quarterly team meetings to assess progress and goals re: inclusivity
Partnering with The Dream Corps and contributing 10% of subscription sales to their Green for All campaign

Natural medicine has always been an important part of the human experience. For many generations, wise women and men have utilized sacred plants and ceremonies for physical and mental health.
In our current American culture, natural medicine is dominated by a white, middle-to-upper class image. This is one area in which we aim to promote increased diversity and inclusion.
In cultures worldwide, people of low-economic status disproportionally suffer from environmental toxicity. Living near highways, food deserts and poorly-maintained housing rentals are a few of the reasons.
Clean air, food, and water is a right of all people, not just people with greater means. We are beginning to partner with The Dream Corps that especially promotes clean air in low-income communities. We also have our eye on a new organization that will get fresh food and smoothie-making materials to low-income households.
I entered in the field of natural medicine because I was an environmentalist. I believe that for us all to live well, we need to take great care of our home, this planet Earth.
I am so thankful for my online community that regularly supports organic farming, recycling, minimalism, and conscious living.
I am also thankful for the Black Lives Matter movement that reminded me that no one is free when any group is oppressed.
It's easy for us to get caught up in caring for our own health and families and to neglect greater issues in our culture.
Please hold me accountable for stepping us as a leader and doing all I can to support racial and environmental equality.
In Service,
Bridgit Danner
