Susan Morreale, a breast cancer survivor explains how she took charge of her body, researched everything possible to lead a healthy life, and avoid as many chemicals as possible. She knew that water was a big part of making that change and she wanted to drink the cleanest water possible. Susan made sure that she was going to avoid as many toxic, cancer-causing chemicals as possible and she shares with us her road to recovery and clean water. In this episode, we discuss the importance of drinking filtered water. We discuss a reverse osmosis filtration system that Sue has in her home. These systems typically include one or more activated carbon and sediment filters, allowing such systems to reduce or remove many contaminants. A recent study by the nonprofit watchdog organization Environmental Working Group(EWG) asserts Americans are drinking water containing carcinogens and that the contamination may be responsible for more than 100,000 cases of cancer. Susan and her daughter Ciara, own Her Story, a space in which beauty, experience, and wellness are supported by products that guide one's journey to wellbeing. They also own Her Kitchen, a plant-based wellness revolution, and Her Sanctuary, a space for women to gather.  See www.herstorybuffalo.com for more information.

Along with Franco Harris, he is one of only two Steelers players to rush for more than 100 yards in back-to-back playoff games. He was the Steelers Iron Man of the Year two years in a row (1989 and 1990) and was named to the All-Madden team in 1989.

At the time of his retirement, Merril had the longest consecutive playing streak in the NFL. Merril joined ESPN in 1995 as a football analyst and sideline reporter, where he quickly distinguished himself through his in-depth knowledge of the game and his strong relationships with the coaches and players in the National Football League. He served as a host and analyst for a wide variety of ESPN programs on television, radio and the Internet, including ESPN’s SportsCenter and NFL Live; Friday Football and Fantasy Insider on ESPN News; The NFL on ESPN Radio; and alongside Ron Jaworski on the highly acclaimed State Farm NFL Matchup.

There are effective ways to boost your immune system and with a strong immune system, your body has the power to cure itself. The immune system helps to provide resistance to infections and toxicity. The key players include the thymus, bone marrow, lymph nodes—and leukocytes(white blood cells), along with a complex network of cells and proteins that make up your immune system.

From the Overload Film website: "Before starting a family, Soozie Eastman, daughter of an industrial chemical distributor, embarks on a journey to find out the levels of toxins in her body and explores if there is anything she or anyone else can do to change them. Soozie has just learned that hundreds of synthetic toxins are now found in every baby born in America and the government and chemical corporations are doing little to protect citizens and consumers. With guidance from world-renowned physicians and environmental leaders, interviews with scientists and politicians, and stories of everyday Americans, Soozie uncovers how we got to be so overloaded with chemicals and if there is anything we can do to take control of our exposure."  To view the trailer and film on Amazon visit www.Overloadfilm.com IG/Facebook: @overloadfilm is the IG handle and /overloadfilm on Facebook Website:  website www.cleanergreenerme.com IG @cleanergreenerme FB /cleanergreenerme

Therese "Tee" and Aly discuss her book Non-Toxic Guide to Living Healthy in a Chemical World.  In 2013, Dr. Aly Cohen created The Smart Human LLC, a company designed to inform public and private institutions about environmental health concerns and practical solutions to help minimize chemical exposures. Whether found in hospital neonatology intensive care units, pre-schools, or even our own homes, the 87,000 chemicals surrounding us on a daily basis, may have serious health implications; neurodevelopmental, fertility, cancer, thyroid, and other endocrine system risks. The human fetus, toddlers, and teens are particularly vulnerable to the effects of some extremely low-level chemical exposures due to rapid growth and cell turnover during these vulnerable windows of development.  - 2:52 Aly talks about the book and which is an offshoot of a textbook she wrote with Dr Frederick S. vom Saal, PhD in 2017  - 3:45 The book Guides you to Living a Healthy Life and walks you through the solutions. How to understand the chemical problems which help you with the solution.  How to do changes at your own pace. Do it yourself solutions and other solutions made for everyone.   It comes from her and Fred's own experience. Dr Frederick S. vom Saal, PhD was the one primarily the person behind getting BPA out of baby bottles. Aly is also a  Mom and wanted to make sure her kids were not inundated with chemicals invading their bodies and shares her knowledge.   - 9:34 Once you start to reduce your exposure to certain chemicals in your life, there is evidence that the chemicals will also start exiting your system.  -13:36 Many physicians are not trained in chemicals and nutrition and they have very little time to share this information with their patients. Physicians have to learn it outside their practice. Most major Medical Schools are primarily subsidized by the Pharma industry and they do not even teach Nutrition right now in 2020. Even the best Medical Schools in the USA get about 5 hours of nutrition education in 4 years of medical school.  -15:20 It is an uphill climb:  Doctors are not trained in Chemicals like BPA, Phthalates, heavy metals, and environmental exposures, and how they affect brain health, the endocrine system and cognition and breast cancer risk etc... She is trying to change it from the inside out.  -16:48 There are many different formulas for products in Europe than for the same products in the USA.   -17:42 She is seeing sicker and sicker patients and at younger ages such as obesity, infertility, autoimmune diseases, and thyroid conditions in their 20's. Sicker people at younger ages.   -18:18 With regard to COVID-19 these chemicals cause inflammation in the body. You should be thinking about reducing inflammation by reducing chemicals that can contribute to a lot of chronic health conditions.  -20:31 Nutritional Sufficiency's: What you eat in nutrition can help you reduce the harm from these exposures.  She calls it human fertilizer.   -21:30 Vitamin D and the benefits 22:40 What is her biggest beef?
