Toxic Tangents

A menstrual cycle can cause a whirlwind of emotions, fatigue, pains, and other symptoms at various times of the month. While having a period is a part of life, living in discomfort doesn’t always need to be. That’s why we’re going to discuss cycle syncing on today’s IG Live. Cycle syncing is when you change lifestyle habits like your diet or exercise routine to match the phases of your menstrual cycle. Today’s guest is Dr. Rachel Vong, a Toronto Naturopathic Doctor that focuses on hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, and digestive health. We’re going to ask Dr. Vong about cycle syncing, which types of foods you should eat during each cycle, and the right exercises so that you don’t burn yourself out.

Today, we’re going to talk about Sjogren’s Syndrome. Sjogren's is when the body's immune system attacks its own healthy cells that produce saliva and tears. The two most common symptoms are dry eyes and dry mouth. Researchers believe that Sjogren's syndrome is caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Women are nine times more likely to develop this autoimmune disorder. Which is why we are so excited to be joined today by Divya Dhawan. Divya is a Board-Certified Transformational Sjogren’s Health Coach and Founder of Sjogren's Solution.

Many Detect & Detox Test takers have high toxic exposures from their beauty and skincare products. In fact, many of these products contain ingredients that can actually make skin problems worse for some people. As the name implies, hormone-disrupting chemicals disrupt hormones, which can alter how things work inside of our bodies. In turn, we can experience inflammation that presents itself externally as skin conditions, such as acne. However, hormones aren’t the only reason for acne problems. By addressing these issues, we might be able to reduce our need for skincare products that add to our toxic burdens. That’s why we’re so excited to be joined today by Kristin Cunningham. Kristin specializes in clearing complex acne cases, and she’s going to discuss the root causes of acne.

Thank you for joining us. It is our passion to help others live healthier lives and improve their fertility through natural means. Detoxing from plastic chemicals with resources like our Detect & Detox Test Kit is an important way to help balance your hormones, but it is not the only solution. Our bodies need specific nutrients through diets and supplements that can help our cells function properly. One of the key minerals for hormone health is magnesium. Up to 20% of populations in developed nations have a magnesium deficiency. That is why we are so excited to be joined today by Dr. Barb Woegerer. Dr. Barb Woegerer is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor practicing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She also provides naturopathic telemedicine/virtual services through the Ontario Telemedicine Network for any patients in the province of Ontario. Dr. Barb is also a magnesium expert. So, we’re excited to pick Dr. Barb’s brain about this crucial mineral for hormones!

We’ve been creating a lot more content about food recently because many Detect & Detox Test users test high for hormone-disrupting chemicals due to toxins in their foods. We help people detox from BPA in their can liners, parabens used as preservatives, phthalates from their takeout containers, and more. However, there are other toxic chemicals in a lot of conventional foods that are beyond plastic chemicals. I’m talking about herbicides like glyphosate. Glyphosate is a toxic chemical used in RoundUp, one of the most common weed-killers in the world. Increasing research suggests that glyphosate can pose some health risks, and it’s best if we avoid foods that contain it altogether. With that said, this is easier than done, and we must be advocates for ourselves. That’s why we’re so excited to be joined by Kelly Ryerson, known to social media as Glyphosate Girl. Kelly Ryerson is an environmental health writer, filmmaker, and ardent public health advocate. We can’t wait to hear about her efforts to educate millions and change the laws surrounding the use of glyphosate.

52 percent of the global population are affected by a headache disorder every year, with 14 percent reporting migraines. Millions of people turn to over-the-counter remedies to deal with these headaches. However, these products are not intended for long-term use. Over-the-counter remedies may be masking underlying issues, can become ineffective with time, and may even start to cause other health defects. Many people are unaware that changes in their lifestyle may be effective in reducing the frequency of headaches. One of these changes is better nutrition. That is why we are so excited to be joined today by Dr. Steven Zodkoy. Dr. Zodkoy is a burnout expert, published author, and owner and CMO of the Resiliency Program. We’re going to talk about natural ways to help with headaches, burnout, and Dr. Zodkoy’s Resiliency Program.

Thank you for joining us. Over the last few weeks, we’ve created a lot more content about food, including heavy metals in spices, pesticides, fertility nutrition, and more. That’s because food is so important to us. Not only does it provide us with nutrients, but food also brings families and cultures together. However, many foods that we love can cause some of us to experience health issues when eaten too often. Thankfully, there can be a good balance between enjoying comfort foods and good health. That’s why we’re so excited to be joined today by Chef Laura Rodriguez. Chef Laura Rodriguez is a holistic chef and backyard farmer who specializes in autoimmunity.

At Million Marker, we help men and women balance their hormones by helping them reduce their exposure to plastic chemicals. Many plastic chemicals mimic estrogen, which can disrupt the ways our hormones communicate. Women have fluctuating hormones as it is. Messing with these hormones can only make issues worse. Many women of childbearing age turn to us to help with fertility issues that may be caused by endocrine-disrupting chemicals. However, endocrine-disrupting chemicals can also have an adverse effect on women who are transitioning into menopause. During this time, women’s hormones are changing, which makes this new chapter confusing for many women. That’s why we’ve invited Dr. LaKeischa W. McMillan onto our IG Live. Dr. LaKeischa is an integrative gynecologist, Perimenopause and Menopause specialist, and author of the book The Other PMS. Dr. LaKeischa is going to discuss why losing estrogen can make us feel older.
