Toxins can affect so many different areas in our lives. On today's episode I was thrilled to talk with Dr. Katie Rose about the relationship between toxins and fertility and how the alarming rates of infertility, as well as low sperm count, are related to both the foods we eat, the lifestyle choices we engage in and the environmental toxins we are exposed to every day.

Her unique 3 step method to support the body, mind, and spirit has allowed her clients to conceive despite years of unexplained infertility, failed IVF treatments, PCOS, Hashimoto's, endometriosis, and recurrent pregnancy losses.

It's a common misconception that good food and good food alone can make you healthy! Though healthy eating may be one of the most important components of a balanced and healthy lifestyle, the reality is that many other areas of our lives could be causing illnesses or damage to our overall well-being. On today's show, Tee welcomes Suzy Wood to explain how the integration of healthy practices along all walks of life is vital for achieving a balanced and holistic lifestyle. Suzy explains her journey from global citizen and high-tech marketer to Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Suzy shares how the experience of her divorce and relocation to New York inspired her to make a career pivot as well as overhaul her lifestyle, diet, and social practices. In this episode listeners will gain a better understanding of how factors such as stress, social anxiety, work-life balance, and proper sleep paired with proper nutrition all contribute to a healthier and happier way of living. In addition, Tee and Suzy share tips on how to detoxify your household in a way that is neither overwhelming nor expensive. Suzy Wood is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach who works with women to get control of their health by analyzing both food and lifestyle choices. After living abroad for over 10 years, Suzy returned to the US, left her job in high-tech marketing, and launched True Wellness Within where she helps people find more balance in their lives, eat better, live better, and regain the vitality they used to have. Suzy works privately and in small groups to help people achieve their health goals. We look at lifestyle, sleep, movement, nutrition, and more. For anyone who is divorced, Suzy has a free quiz you can take on her website called "Has Your Body Healed from the Stress of Divorce?". She also has a private Facebook group called the Divorce Detox where she offers support. She facilitates monthly calls. Part of the healing process is looking at your living environment, what you put in and on your body, so you can live your best life going forward.

Her mission is to make low-waste living free, easy, and fun for everyone while educating her audience about climate-related issues. In this episode, Emma and Tee unpack the secrets behind identifying "greenwashing", a common practice amongst companies hoping to allure environmentally conscious customers with products that report to be environmentally friendly when in reality continue to contain harmful plastics, chemicals, or toxins. Emma shares some simple tricks for spotting these products while offering helpful advice on seeking out truly green alternatives for products such as laundry detergents, dishwasher soaps, and other household cleaning products. In addition to discussing the practice of greenwashing, Tee and Emma also remind listeners of the many ways that companies find loopholes in regulations by hiding behind red-flag words such as fragrance, natural, and sustainable.
