Thank you for joining us for a discussion about toxic exposures and eczema in children. Million Marker is the only at-home test for hormone-disrupting chemicals, like BPA and phthalates. Increasing studies show that pregnant women who have exposures to these chemicals can transfer some exposures to their children. Another study has shown a direct link between BPA and phthalate exposure in children and the development of eczema. That’s why we are so happy to have a holistic pediatrician with us who has her own Eczema Transformation Program, Dr. Ana Maria Temple.

Our ovaries contain a finite number of eggs, and their quality is paramount. Egg quality refers to having the correct amount of chromosomes that are crucial for a successful pregnancy. Research shows egg quality declines with age, impacting fertility outcomes. By age 35, only about 50-60% of a woman's eggs are chromosomally normal. Egg quality refers to chromosomal normalcy, crucial for successful pregnancies. Therefore, we should take some precautions to optimize our egg quality and improve our chances of conception. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Pryscilla Ladeira, a Certified Fertility Health Coach. During this Live, we’re going to discuss why egg quality is just as, if not more important, than ovulation tracking, nutrition tips for improving egg quality, how environmental factors impact having a viable pregnancy.

As many as 50 million people in the U.S. have an autoimmune disease, making it the third most prevalent disease category, surpassed only by cancer and heart disease. Nearly 80% of people with a chronic autoimmune condition are women. While autoimmune disease is increasingly common, getting diagnosed with one can be lonely and scary. Not to mention, there is a lot of misinformation on the internet for people to read, and diagnosing an autoimmune disease can be challenging for some practitioners. All of these factors can have an adverse impact on your mental health and overall wellness. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Nicole Ritter, a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and Founder of Ritter Functional Health. During this Live, we’re going to discuss things you should do when you are diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, the role of environmental factors in autoimmunity, the role of blood sugar and diet, and so much more.

Feeling drained, sluggish, or just not quite yourself lately? These might be indicators that your body is in need of mineral balancing. Minerals are the unsung heroes powering every function in your body. They're essential for energy production, hormone balance, and even your mood. When your minerals are out of whack, it's like trying to run a high-performance car with low-quality fuel. Mineral balancing is the key to unlocking your body's full potential. It can boost your energy, improve your sleep, and even enhance your mental clarity. From magnesium calming your nerves to iron keeping your blood strong, each mineral has a vital role. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyles often deplete these precious resources. Stress, processed foods, and environmental toxins can all throw your mineral balance off course. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Fatima Pagtakhan, a low tox lifestyle mentor and mineral balancing specialist. During this Live, we’re going to discuss signs you need to balance your minerals, high-quality dietary sources of key nutrients, hair mineral testing, and so much more.
