Many of our followers are in the process of trying to conceive. In order for conception, a sperm must fertilize an egg. However, women have a finite number of eggs, which means that good egg quality is of the utmost importance. One of the best ways to support good egg quality is through proper nutrition and supplementation. That is why we are so excited to be joined today by Dr. Camille Krause, a Naturopathic Doctor at Conceive Health. Dr. Krause is going to give us some tips about supplements for egg quality.

There is a famous saying by Judith Stern that we are big proponents of when it comes to preventative health. It goes, “Genetics loads the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger.” Environmental toxicants can disrupt our hormones, which can result in everything from cancer to type 2 diabetes to infertility. One of the most effective ways to control your environmental exposures is by making small changes around your home. That’s why we are so glad to chat on IG Live with Kirsty Maginness. Kirsty is a retired Registered Nurse, low-tox educator, and advocate for Hugh & Grace. During this Live, we’re going to talk about little things that you can do to create a low-toxic home, making low-tox living more affordable, and clean beauty care.

We’re always trying to instill good habits into our followers. One of the most efficient ways to create good habits is to do them at the same time everyday. There’s a reason for this. Humans are creatures of habit that are designed with an internal biological clock. This 24 hour cycle is known as our circadian rhythm. Our circadian rhythm plays a vital role in so many aspects of our health, including our digestion, sleep patterns, hormone production, and more. That’s why we are so glad to be joined on IG Live by Dr. Catherine Clinton. Dr. Clinton is a Naturopathic Physician and Quantum Biology specialist. During this Live, Dr. Clinton is going to explain how our biological clocks work, the role the sun plays in maintaining our circadian rhythm, and other tips for helping us feel grounded when life feels out of balance.

Leah Segedie, an expert in environmental health, discusses the alarming prevalence of PFAS in the blood of Americans. She highlights the health risks associated with PFAS exposure and the importance of choosing PFAS-free products. The podcast also covers challenges faced by smaller brands in testing for PFAS, the need for consumer activism in pushing for regulation, and insights on clean green beauty brands.

As many of you know, we work with people to help them limit their toxic chemical exposure, specifically by reducing their use of plastic chemicals. 300 million tons of plastic is produced each year worldwide. Coming into contact with plastic is unavoidable, so we must do our part to limit how much is produced each year through recycling. Plastic isn’t the only thing that’s ending up in our landfills. So many recyclable products are thrown away every year, which has caused many local communities to increase their recycling initiatives. However, not everything we think belongs in the recycling bin belongs there. That’s why we are so happy to be joined today by Emma Dendler, the Simple Environmentalist. Emma is a climate activist and advocate for zero waste living. We’re going to discuss how to recycle properly so that we can have a cleaner planet.

We create a lot of content that looks at treating the body as a whole to maintain wellness and prevent illnesses. Perhaps nothing exemplifies how everything is connected, like fascia. Fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, organs, and other structures, providing integrity and facilitating movement. It’s a complex system that plays a vital role in our health and physical comfort. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Erin Tietz. Erin is a Fascia Rehab Specialist at Fascia Fix in Minnesota. During this Live, we’re going to discuss fascia, how it impacts our movement and comfort, tips for better posture, and Erin will even host a fascia exercise demonstration!

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.
