Bio:

Against The Grain Health is a business which challenges the status quo of what it means to love the skin you’re in. Providing effective, high integrity products which transcend skin deep beauty and possess a broad spectrum of uses for the individual and the family. The founder, Brad McDonald, makes no distinction between his values as a naturalist and the principle decision making within the business. At the core foundation of Against The Grain Health is the mantra ‘to be nurtured by nature is a reciprocal relationship’. In order for us to thrive, not just survive, we must move with renewed reverence for nature just as we must for our own sovereignty. Going against the grain is in essence, going beyond all the stories, to a place where we are one and the same.

Show notes:


The original journey to beginning Against The Grain - an autoimmune issue with psoriasis sparked motivation
The skin is the window in, so it opens up the conversation & many healing conversations are happening at regular markets.  The consciousness is shifting Brad is noticing.
Chemicals have increased 400 fold between 1930-2001.  140,000 chemicals are registered for use in Australia & 75% of them have never been tested on the environment or animals. 
When we take on chemicals quicker than they can escape our body, they bio-accumulate.  Not everyone is born with a clean slate now.
These chemicals create endocrine disruption - affecting asthma, cancer, reproductive issues & infertility.  Some of the common issues.
Our water, food & air quality also play a part in our whole body wellness.  BUT we always have a choice.
Against The Grain was created to give people an option.  A healthy option.
The products are very concentrated & serve many purposes.  A beautiful healing one pot wonder.
Ethical Beeswax is a high quality ingredient that is included in ATG products.
Zinc balm is magic for sun protection, has non-nano zinc oxide & is great for repairing nappy rashes, insect bites & supporting acne. It can be also used as a deodorant & tinted moisturiser.  It's easy to use & multi-functional.
Future vision for ATG - flipping the script & allowing our largest organ (the skin) to absorb so many beautiful healing minerals.  Bringing some new products out, along with protocols to support detox & healing balms.
Let's feel inspired for change!  Judgement only holds us back.
