Toxic Tangents

Proper nutrition can affect everything about our lives, from our energy levels to how our immune systems react to sickness, to our general wellbeing, and today, we're exploring how nutrition affects out fertility and our ability to have children. That's why we are very excited to speak to Anabelle Harari about this topic! Anabelle is a women's health and fertility dietitian, and began her journey as a functional dietitian after facing her own struggles. Today, she works with women to help them find out what works, and what doesn't, to achieve their goals of a happier and healthier life.

One of our primary missions at Million Marker is to help people improve their chances of fertility. We accomplish this goal by testing their urine for BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals. Increasing studies show that these chemicals can impact sperm health, which can make trying to conceive challenging for couples. These challenges only get more difficult when couples enter treatments like IVF. That’s why we are so happy to have The Fertility Expert with us today, Marc Sklar. Marc is a fertility detective and host of Fertility TV on YouTube. We are so happy to have him join us today!

Many Million Marker Detect & Detox Test takers are hopeful, expecting, or new parents. As many new parents can attest, it is an exhausting job! Mainly because babies are pretty unpredictable, and it’s hard to get them on a good sleep schedule, that also works for the parents. That’s why we are so glad to be joined by a Certified Sleep Coach. We are being joined by Heidi Lovens. Heidi specializes in creating healthy sleep patterns for children from birth to five. She is also an advocate for Hugh & Grace. Hugh & Grace creates hormone-safe products, and hormones play an important role in sleep. So, we’re excited to learn more from Heidi today!

Today, we’re going to discuss a lesser known phenomenon in the yoga community, known as face yoga! We are going to be joined today by Melissa Chapman, a Face Yoga Health Coach & Nutritionist. We’re going to discuss ways to relieve stress and improve your skincare through face yoga. This topic is important because many products we use on our face are full of toxic chemicals and actually accelerate the aging process. So, we can’t wait to ask Melissa some tips for face yoga!

One of the most important things we try to stress those who take our Detect & Detox Test Kit is to read your labels. There is so much information on a label, including nutrition, ingredients, greenwashing red flags, certifications, and so much more. However, reading a label can be confusing, especially if you don’t know what to look out for. That is why we are so excited to be joined today by Jen Smiley of Wake Up and Read the Labels. Jen Smiley is an expert food coach and creator of Clean Eating Academy. She has helped thousands of people make food simple so they can feel their best. We’re going to discuss how Jen helped a family member lose 35 pounds in three months by switching to clean foods, how to look through false advertising claims on labels, and some of her go-to meals when she’s in a quick pinch.

Meaningful relationships have been shown to improve the physical and mental health of humans. However, nothing is more important than the relationship that we have with ourselves. We spend a lot of time pleasing others and we sometimes lose who we are. That’s why we are so excited to be joined today by Dr. Vikroiya Magid, a Clinical Psychologist, Psychotherapist and Life Coach from Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

Did you know that we have just as many microbial cells as we are human cells? Our microbiome is regulated by various types of microbes, with some of the most abundant being bacteria. When you hear the word bacteria, you may experience a negative association. However, not all bacteria are bad. In fact, some bacteria are essential for everything from our mood to weight to immunity. So, how do we nourish the good bacteria vs. bad bacteria? That’s why we’re chatting on IG Live with Dr. Kristina Telhami. Dr. Telhami is a Doctor of Pharmacy, Certified Functional Medicine Specialist, Certified Integrative Health Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, and a best selling author. We’re going to discuss the role gut health plays in our overall health, including hormone production, how to feed good bacteria in your gut, signs that you may have too much bad bacteria, and more.

Many Detect & Detox Test users have high toxic chemical exposures due to packaged foods. Many of these users also get their exposures from over-the-counter remedies used to care for some of the physical side effects of these foods, such as antacids. It’s a common belief that heartburn or acid reflux is caused by a buildup of high stomach acid. However, that is not always the case. This can actually be caused by low stomach acid. That is why we are so glad to be joined today by Katie Morra, Founder of Gut Honest Truth. Katie has a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, a minor in biology, and a Master's degree in applied nutrition. She is also a Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. We’re going to discuss symptoms of low stomach acid, how some medications can disrupt your stomach acid, and how to increase stomach acid levels naturally.

One of the side effects of long-term toxic chemical exposures is trouble losing weight. Hormone-disrupting chemicals can impact our appetite hormones, how we metabolize fat, handle inflammation, and more. While detoxing from chemicals can help you meet your wellness goals, this alone won’t help you lose weight or manage it. That’s why we are so glad to be joined by Narado Zeco Powell. Narado is a Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert and is the Host of The Matter Over Mind Experience Podcast. Narado is always sharing amazing weight management tips on his Instagram profile at Zeco Health. We’re very excited to ask some follow-ups on practical weight management tips.
