Toxic Tangents

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.

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.
