Toxic Tangents

A lot of our content revolves around detoxing your body from environmental toxic chemicals, such as BPA, phthalates, and parabens. The human body is designed to detox from these chemicals. This is much in thanks to some of our organs. However, constant exposure to toxic chemicals over long periods of time can start to wear on these organs, which can make detoxing more challenging. Today’s guest is an expert on detox organs. We’re going to chat with Dr. Mark Iwanicki, a naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist practicing in New York City. Be sure to check out Dr. Iwanicki’s feed, as he has so much great information about detoxing. Today, we’re going to talk about the phase of detox, key organs that make it happen, and how to ensure your body is detoxing optimally.

As many of you may know, at Million Marker, we test for BPA, phthalates, and other toxic chemicals found in your food, cleaning, personal care products, and more. These chemicals can mess with your hormones, causing physical and mental health problems. They are so in many products and are a huge part of our toxic environmental exposures. Another large sector of these exposures is through mold. That is why we are so excited to be joined by Brendan Dean Vermeire, the Holistic Savage. Brendan is the CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of Metabolic Solutions, which is an institute for functional health and fitness practitioners. He is a certified health coach, with continuing education in mycotoxins and hormones. On his Instagram page, The Holistic Savage, he had a post about mold and mental health. So, we’re going to ask some questions about this connection.

We’ve been creating a lot of content as of late about food. While we can remove things like personal care and beauty products from our daily routine, human beings need food to survive. Unfortunately, many foods today are made with preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that can make food addicting, disrupt our hormones, and even promote anxious behaviors. These are troublesome for adults, as they can lead to infertility and health problems. However, these ingredients are even more troublesome for children, who are still developing mentally and physically. That’s why we are so excited to be joined today by Jess Sherman. Jess is an Award-winning Nutritionist, Author, Coach & Family Health Educator based out of Ottawa. We’re going to discuss how food can trigger anxiety, how sugar impacts a child’s health, and signs that your child might need to change their diet.

We are always advocating that people eat locally-sourced whole foods as possible. Not only as these foods more nutritious, but they have lower toxic chemical burdens. These foods travel fewer distances than foods in our grocery stores. Therefore, they tend to be free of chemical preservatives or plastic wrapping that lengthen freshness. We know that incorporating raw, whole foods into your life can be an adjustment for some. That’s why we are so glad to be joined by Carla Martins, a raw, vegan chef based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We’re going to discuss the nutritional benefits of raw foods, how to add raw foods to your diet, and some of Chef Carla’s favorite recipes!

Many people are aware that vitamins and minerals are essential for a healthy lifestyle. However, many of us use these words interchangeably. In turn, the importance of these crucial nutrients can get lost. Vitamins and minerals both play unique roles in our immune system, cell production, skin health, and so much more. Understanding the differences can play a big role in assuring that you get plenty of these nutrients into your diet. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Anna Dillinger, the Health Inspirer. Anna is a Holistic Health Coach who specializes in using food as medicine. During this Live, we’re going to discuss the differences between vitamins and minerals, why Anna prioritizes minerals over vitamins, and some important minerals you should be incorporating into your diet.

Million Marker helps people lower their toxic chemical burdens so that they can increase their health and wellness goals, including trying to conceive. Many of our followers struggle with fertility issues, doing everything they can to increase their chances of conception. Achieving this important goal can become a full-time job for many and may even start to overtake a person’s identity. As a result, when they achieve success and have a baby, it can become easy for the parent to neglect their own health in favor of their family’s needs. This can be harmful to a parent’s health, and also have negative implications on their child. That’s why we are so glad to have Shelley Kemmerer with us today. Shelley is a certified Physician Assistant, Parent & Caregiver Burnout Strategist. We’re going to discuss the importance of prioritizing your health as a parent, and ways to tend to your mental health.

One of our primary missions at Million Marker is to help people improve their chances of fertility. We accomplish this goal by testing their urine for BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals. Increasing studies show that these chemicals can impact sperm health, which can make trying to conceive challenging for couples. These challenges only get more difficult when couples enter treatments like IVF. That’s why we are so happy to have The Fertility Expert with us today, Marc Sklar. Marc is a fertility detective and host of Fertility TV on YouTube. We are so happy to have him join us today!
