Wim Hof Breathwork for Resiliency & Immune Health | Ep 173

When we think of stress release we often think of relaxing techniques, and while these are beneficial, today Erin talks to Resiliency Coach Robert van der Heyden about why the Wim Hof style of breathwork is beneficial from an immune and overall health standpoint.

Today we’re getting into specifics with blood pressure, and Erin really dives into possible root causes of high/low blood pressure such as diet, lifestyle, and other internal factors that can contribute.

Fatigue, Low Cortisol & Radical Momming | Ep 170

There’s this normalization that, especially as a caretaker, your needs are not as important or relevant compared to the needs of others. We’ve become so fixated on deriving our sense of purpose and self-worth by and through caretaking everyone else around us that we feel guilt or shame if we even consider prioritizing our own needs first. But what if prioritizing your own needs not only helps you take better care of yourself, but also teaches those you caretake how to take care of themselves, too?In this extra mini-sode, Erin is talking about fatigue, low cortisol, and asking the question HOW did we get here? The answer may require you to be radically honest with yourself about your needs, your boundaries, and what is (and more importantly, what is NOT) working in your life.If you’re a mom, a caretaker, or you’re someone who tends to derive your sense of purpose and self-worth through caretaking other people’s needs, you’ll definitely want to tune in to this one!

Chronic Stress & Breathwork Practices | Ep 169

We know chronic stress is not good from a health perspective, but many of us have a hard time knowing how stressed we actually are.

Fragrances, Hormones & Small Steps to Non Toxic Living | Ep 167

A 2016 study found that more than 50% of the population said they’d prefer public spaces like offices, hotels, airplanes and healthcare facilities be fragrance-free. Despite this, fragrance use is ubiquitous: it’s found in everything from perfumes, beauty products, and cleaning supplies to plastics, paints, and disinfectants.The problem with these synthetic and artificial fragrances is the health effects they can have on our bodies. Chemicals used to create or prolong these “fresh” scents often have deleterious effects on our health like neurological, metabolic, respiratory, and hormonal imbalances.Today’s episode continues the summer series, answering your questions about hormones. Listen in as Erin gets into the nitty gritty answering your questions about fragrance effects on hormone health, and lays out what to be aware of in products we often use on our bodies or in our home. This is a topic everyone can benefit from because most people don’t even know how toxic synthetic fragrances are, nor how pervasive they are in products many of us use daily.In this episode:-Small steps we can take to get closer to non toxic living [4:38]-Starting with the basics [6:56]-Fragrance and endocrine disruptors [8:11]-“Overly sensitive” or canaries in the coalmine? [11:30]-A non exhaustive list of product types that contain artificial or synthetic fragrances [13:02]-The real problem with fragranced products [17:16]-How these fragrances can affect our health [19:28]-Why and how synthetic fragrances linger [22:17]-VOCs: what they are and common sources [23:36]-Best way to protect yourself from outdoor pollution [25:27]-Let’s talk about phthalates [26:08]-Xenoestrogens and estrogen dominance [27:58]-How these chemicals impact our metabolism [29:55]-Mitochondrial dysfunction symptoms [32:11]Resources mentioned: Your Hormone Revival™ (get on the waitlist - next round starts Sept 19th!) https://www.erinholthealth.com/hormonesForrester Cabinets: https://forrestercabinets.com/Research articles about fragrance: FRAGRANCE IN THE WORKPLACE IS THE NEW SECOND-HAND SMOKE http://www.national-toxic-encephalopathy-foundation.org/fragsmoke.pdf Scientific American’s Scent of Danger: Are There Toxic Ingredients in Perfumes and Colognes https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/toxic-perfumes-and-colognes/ The Danger of Toxic Consumer Products, Fragrances https://www.huffpost.com/entry/toxic-chemicals_b_625648 Fragranced consumer products: exposures and effects from emissions https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5093181/ Investigation of relationships between urinary biomarkers of phytoestrogens, phthalates, and phenols and pubertal stages in girls https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20308033/ Phthalates induce proliferation and invasiveness of estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer through the AhR/HDAC6/c-Myc signaling pathway https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22049059/ Exposure to Environmental Endocrine Disruptors and Child Development https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3572204/ Baby Care Products: Possible Sources of Infant Phthalate Exposure https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/121/2/e260?sso=1&sso_redirect_count=1&nfstatus=401&nftoken=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&nfstatusdescription=ERROR%3a+No+local+token Adipose Tissue as a Site of Toxin Accumulation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6101675/The Impact of Bisphenol A and Phthalates on Allergy, Asthma, and Immune Function: a Review of Latest Findings https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40572-015-0066-8Concentrations of Urinary Phthalate Metabolites Are Associated with Increased Waist Circumference and Insulin Resistance in Adult U.S. Males https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1892109/Phthalates and Metabolism: Exposure Correlates with Obesity and Diabetes in Men https://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/full/10.1289/ehp.115-a312bFragranced consumer products: exposures and effects from emissions https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5093181/Organifi supplement powder (save 20% on your order with code FUNK) https://organifi.com/FUNKCoyote River Hemp Co CBD products (save 10% & free shipping on your order with code FUNK10) https://coyoteriverhempco.com/Bio-Kult Boosted probiotic supplement (save 15% on your order with code FUNK15) https://www.bio-kult.com/bio-kult-boosted/p9Follow Erin on Insta https://www.instagram.com/the.funktional.nutritionist/Related pods: Ep 48: Exploring Female Hormones & Birth Control with Dr. Jolene Brighten https://www.erinholthealth.com/funktional-nutrition-podcast/2019/2/14/48-exploring-female-hormones-amp-birth-control-with-dr-jolene-brightenEp 55: How to Tell if Your Blood Sugar is a Problem https://www.erinholthealth.com/funktional-nutrition-podcast/2019/4/3/episode-55?Ep 65: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Weight Loss erinholthealth.com/funktional-nutrition-podcast/2019/6/20/episode-65-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-weight-loss
