Toxic Tangents

Trying to conceive, carrying a child, giving birth, raising a child…all of this is hard work. We see the physical differences in mothers from their expanding bellies to carry their child, to the tired eyes of sleepless nights. However, many of us never witness the mental effects of fertility. One study of 122 women receiving fertility treatments found that 40% experienced anxiety, depression, or both. That’s why we are so glad to be joined today by Rena Gower of Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York and co-host of the Fertility Forward podcast. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Director of Social Work Services.

Today’s video is going to be a bit of a unique topic, as we’re going to touch upon intuition. Many of us get gut instincts, and more times than not, those feelings are correct. The reason why we’re such big fans of intuition is that many of us feel deep down that we need to change our habits. The products we use on a daily basis aren’t sustainable for the planet or our own bodies. The more we listen to our gut, the better decisions we might make. That’s why we’re so glad to be joined today by Hafsa Khan, the Mystic Med. Hafsa resides in Hong Kong and provides spiritual counseling and clarity through Sufism. We’re going to discuss intuition, how to develop it, its influence on our nervous system, and so much more.

When it comes to reducing your exposure to environmental toxins, we’re big proponents of every little bit counts. Many chemicals in common products, including personal care products, clothes, and cookware, can do harm to our bodies in small doses. The potential for health problems increases the more we burden our bodies with these types of chemicals. That’s why we’re so excited to chat on IG Live with Dr. Jordan Geller. Dr. Geller is a Physician at Geller Endocrinology, based in LA, Palm Beach, and NYC. During this Live, we’re going to discuss the endocrine system, chemicals that can disrupt your hormones, and why small amounts of exposure to these chemicals can still be dangerous to your health.

Increasing research shows that the products that we use can influence the development of breast cancer cells. As we continue to use these products, the incidence of breast cancer in women has risen. In 2019, there were an estimated 3,771,794 women living with female breast cancer in the United States. Black women are at a 42% higher risk of developing breast cancer than white women, including under the age of 45. Today, we have the privilege of speaking to Tiah Tomlin-Harris, a Community Board Advisor for our friends at Bench to Community. Bench to Community’s mission is to develop community and policy interventions that reduce exposure of harmful chemicals from personal care products and perceived breast cancer risk for Black people.Tiah is also the co-founder of MY STYLE MATTERS INC, a grassroots 501c3 nonprofit organization that is dedicated to educating and providing support to underserved and disadvantaged communities impacted by cancer.
