How to Create a Low Tox Morning Routine

 Set Your Day up the right Way.

Your morning routine has the power to shape your entire day. From the moment your feet hit the floor the choices you make can support your energy, mood, focus and overall wellbeing. A low tox approach to your morning doesn’t need to be complicated. It’s about making mindful swaps that reduce your toxic load and help you feel your best.

Here’s how to build a low tox morning routine that actually works (and feels good too).

1. Start With Clean Air

Instead of reaching for synthetic room sprays or scented candles open a window or pop a few drops of essential oils into a diffuser. Oils like lemon, peppermint or eucalyptus are perfect for a fresh morning vibe. Plus you’re skipping the artificial fragrances and giving your lungs a break. Better yet, take a walk out in nature!

2. Ditch the Plastic Toothpaste Tubes

Swap conventional toothpaste for a low tox version with natural ingredients or try toothpaste tablets or powders. Look for formulas that skip the SLS, fluoride and artificial sweeteners. Bonus points if you use a bamboo toothbrush. Find our faves here.

3. Upgrade Your Skincare

Your skin is your largest organ and absorbs a lot of what you put on it. Switch to natural cleansers, moisturisers and deodorants made with nourishing ingredients. Look for products that are free from synthetic fragrance, parabens and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

4. Hydrate First

Before your coffee drink a big glass of filtered water (with a pinch of Celtic sea salt if you want to get fancy). It kickstarts your digestion and hydrates you after a night of sleep. It’s a simple yet powerful habit.

5. Nourish Your Body

Say goodbye to processed breakfast cereals and hello to nourishing wholefood options. Smoothies, overnight oats, eggs or gut-loving gummies made with Gutsy Gummies are all great choices. Add a scoop of collagen or adaptogens if your body needs a little extra support.

6. Slow Moments > Scrolling

Try to carve out a little space for yourself before jumping into the chaos. That might be a few minutes of journaling, a walk outside or simply enjoying your cacao in peace. Ditching your phone first thing can help reduce stress and support a clearer mind.

Why It Matters

Low tox living isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about taking small steps that support your body, your environment and your peace of mind. Starting with your morning routine is a powerful place to begin.
