Toxic Tangents

Hormones are essential for our overall health. At Million Marker, we test urine to determine levels of BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals in a person’s body. Then, we help people try to limit those exposures in hopes of finding hormonal balance. Over the last few months, we’ve created a lot of educational content about thyroid health, including an intro to thyroid health with Dr. Paria Vaziri. There is so much information to take in when it comes to hormone health, it’s hard to do it all in one IG Live. That’s why we’re talking about thyroid health a little more in-depth today, with a focus on Hashimoto’s. 14 million people have Hashimoto’s Disease. That’s why we’re so glad to be joined by Dr. Autoimmune Girl, Donna Mazzola, with us today! Donna Mazzola is a Clinical Pharmacist with extensive experience in Managed Care and Integrated Delivery Systems.

We’ve been creating content to help viewers make wiser decisions about their food choices. Many of today’s food sources are contaminated with toxic chemicals or created with inflammatory ingredients. Over time, these foods can promote long-term inflammation that can result in a variety of health conditions, including autoimmune disease, obesity, anxiety, and more. Today’s chat is going to be a very interesting one, as we will discuss the anti-inflammatory food pyramid with our guest Dr. Kara Wada, the Crunchy Allergist. Dr. Wada specializes in allergies, Sjogren's Syndrome, immunology, and autoimmunity. We’re going to discuss how we should reimagine the food pyramid, how toxins can impact our immunity, and more.

You may recall hearing about electrons in an introductory science course in grade school. Electrons are particles with negative energy charges, and are essential for all living cells. Things that we do in our daily lives may negatively impact our electrons. As a result, we may experience negative effects on our immune system, DNA communication, adrenal glands, and more. That’s why we are so excited to chat today with Carrie Bennett, a Clinical Nutritionist with research-backed expertise in hydration, fasting, anti-inflammatory diets, healthy light exposure, and detoxification. We’re going to discuss the role electrons play in our body’s functioning, things that can suppress electrons, and how to increase your magnetism!

Today we’re going to continue discussing self-care in the form of healthy breathing habits. Many of our followers are undergoing stress from trying to conceive, detoxing from toxic exposures, or just their everyday lives. A lot of people can help offset that stress by breathing through it. If you think about it, when we’re stressed, we bunch up our fingers, clench our jaws, and bring our shoulders up to our ears. All of this causes us to hold our breath and create even more tension. That’s why we’ve invited Stacy Cohen to our IG Live today. Stacy is a certified Oxygen Advantage Instructor, Buteyko Practitioner, Neurodynamic Breathwork Facilitator, Breathe for Change SEL Facilitator, and yoga teacher. Today, Stacy will discuss the importance of deep breathing and gives us some pointers on incorporating deep breathing techniques into our daily routines.
