A significant portion of Million Marker users are women who use our testing services to limit the amount of hormone-disrupting chemicals in their bodies. Women are seeking out our help to support them as they attempt to balance their hormones in hopes of trying to conceive. We provide many women with resources that help with conception, and now we’re trying to create content that will assist them postpartum too. There are so many books that women can read when they get pregnant about what to expect. These books get into important things that will keep your baby alive and healthy. However, they don’t cover real topics that matter to mothers. That’s why we’re so excited to be joined today by Tabitha Lane. Tabbi Lane is a Hugh & Grace Advocate. Hugh & Grace is Million Marker Approved, and I’m actually on their Medical Advisory Bio. If you are interested in Hugh & Grace’s hormone-safe products, please click our Link In Bio and tap the post promoting this IG Live. Tabbi Lane wrote an amazing blog about things she wishes she knew about postpartum before she got pregnant. Be sure to save this Live when it goes on our feed because there’s going to be lots of good information shared today!

Our environment plays a significant role in our health. The impact that our stress, the chemicals we encounter, diet, and more can have an impact far beyond our lifetime. Studies show that our environmental health can have an impact on the health of future generations. Environmental chemicals can alter hormones, cross the placenta, store in fat tissues, and more. While many of this is out of our control, we must focus on the things we can control so that we can set ourselves and future generations up for success. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Amelia Harman. Amelia is a Board Certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner with experience in functional endocrinology, autoimmune disease, and female sexual dysfunction. During this Live, we’re going to discuss steps to take during preconception, the role of gut health in a healthy pregnancy, and how environmental chemicals can impact future generations of families.

Did you know your body contains more microbial cells instead of human cells? One of the most prevalent types of microbes in our bodies are bacteria. Bacteria are essential for our body to function, as they influence our digestion, mood, skin, and so much more. However, things can start to get out of balance if some types of bacteria start to take over the microbiome. This is known as Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth or SIBO. Up to 36 million people have SIBO, with up to 84% of these people also having symptoms of IBS. This can make understanding if you have SIBO and how to treat it confusing. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Alexa Ress-Sarkadi, a SIBO and Gut Health Coach. During this Live, we’re going to discuss how to diagnose SIBO, why carbs aren’t the enemy, how to prevent SIBO from returning, and so much more.

Sickle cell disease affects approximately 100,000 Americans, with 1 in 365 Black or African American births impacted by this inherited blood disorder. This chronic condition causes immense pain and complications, significantly reducing life expectancy and quality of life for those affected. While treatments have improved over the years, there's growing interest in exploring new avenues to manage sickle cell disease more effectively. One promising area of research is the connection between sickle cell disease and gut health. Recent studies have revealed intriguing links between the gut microbiome and various aspects of sickle cell disease, including pain management and overall well-being. Understanding this relationship could potentially open up new therapeutic approaches and improve outcomes for patients. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Dr. Charlie Ware, a holistic health expert with expertise in gut health and sickle cell.

Menopause is a natural part of life that women all go through eventually. However, it’s not always easy to tell when you’re entering menopause.

The pandemic caused a lot of us to shift our focuses, change career paths, and more. During this time, many people had to learn how to homeschool their children.

That’s why we are so excited to be joined today by Emma Carsey. Emma homeschools her children. She is also an Advocate for Hugh & Grace.

Gut health plays a central role in the nutrition of athletes and people who live a healthy and active lifestyle. It not only affects nutrient absorption but also energy production and recovery. But it’s about more than just physical performance. A healthy gut can significantly contribute to mental health as well.

That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Ashley Shrader, the Owner of Rise Functional Medicine.
