Meet Yi Ling – The Heart Behind AllThingsCrunchy
Hi! I’m Yi Ling, a mother from Malaysia who identifies as an environmental advocate, and passionate researcher on non-toxic living. My journey toward creating a healthier world started young—thanks to Captain Planet, I began recycling at just nine years old. Since then, my commitment to eco-conscious choices has only deepened, especially when I became a mother.
As I prepared for my child’s arrival, I delved into extensive research on non-toxic products and environmental safety. With my background in legal research (thanks to my LLB (Hons)), I rigorously investigated the hidden dangers of heavy metals and toxic chemicals in everyday products. I was determined to protect my child from exposure, knowing the profound effects these toxins could have on growth and development. This dedication earned me the title of that crazy crunchy mom—and I wear it proudly!
Why I Started AllThingsCrunchy
As my child grew and started eating solids and was old enough for school, my concerns about toxic exposure increased. Lead, in particular, became my biggest worry. Lead exposure, even in minuscule amounts, can cause irreversible harm to children. However, reliable, affordable, and user-friendly lead testing options were scarce.
At the time, the most accessible lead test kits were expensive and the gold-standard testing device came with a staggering five-figure price tag in USD. I was frustrated, especially as I noticed restaurants using tableware that could be lead-contaminated. When searching for schools, I realized that even educators were largely unaware of lead toxicity risks.
As a mother, I felt torn—should I send my child to school and risk exposure or keep her at home and limit her learning experiences? It was an impossible choice. But rather than feeling helpless, I took action.
I discovered Lumetallix, a reliable and user-friendly lead test kit. After testing it myself, I knew other parents needed access to this essential tool. That’s when I became a distributor—so that other families could also protect their children from lead exposure with ease.
Our Mission at AllThingsCrunchy
Awareness on the harmful impact of lead exposure in Malaysia remains low. Companies, schools, and even regulatory bodies are not aware of the dangers of heavy metal exposure. With the increasing prevalence of cross-border consumerism, thousands of unregulated products enter our markets daily, making it difficult to ensure safety.
At AllThingsCrunchy, we strive to:
✅ Raise Awareness – Educate families, businesses, and schools about lead toxicity and heavy metal contamination.
✅ Provide Solutions – Offer an accessible, reliable, and affordable lead testing solution with Lumetallix.
✅ Advocate for Change – Encourage establishments and policymakers to implement stricter safety regulations for everyday products.
With the best consumer-friendly lead test kit, I aim to help families create toxin-free environments for their loved ones. Preventing total exposure may be impossible in today’s world, but minimizing it is a step toward a healthier future.
Why Test for Lead?
Lead is a toxic metal still present in many household items, from old paint to ceramics and children’s toys. Even minimal exposure can have severe health implications, especially for young children, affecting brain development and overall well-being.
Testing for lead isn’t just a precaution; it’s a proactive step in safeguarding your family’s health. Our Lumetallix Instant Lead Detection Kit offers a simple and effective way to identify potential hazards, empowering you to take action and ensure a safe living space.
Health Risks of Lead Exposure:
Children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning, which can lead to:
- Cognitive impairments and reduced IQ
- Behavioral issues
- Developmental delays
- In severe cases, seizures or even death
Protecting your family from these risks starts with awareness and prompt detection.
