The Link Between Environmental Toxins and The Stress Response with Jeanne Clunn
At Green Living Gurus, we believe regardless of your race, socio-economic status, or gender, you deserve to live in an environment free of toxic chemicals that may give you cancer, cause infertility and birth defects, or cause health problems for future generations. Unfortunately, women tend to face greater levels of exposure to certain toxic chemicals than men. Jeanne will walk us through these harmful ingredients and how to avoid them. Jeanne Clunn is a Certified Nutrition Consultant, founder of Nutrition Jeanne and the Calm and Balanced Mama Method, and a Beautycounter consultant. She has young kids, 2 dogs, and is the wife of a retired Air Force master sergeant. After recovering from her own cortisol imbalance through nutrition, lifestyle, movement, and mindset, Jeanne made it her mission to help stressed-out moms stop feeling so exhausted and moody so they can live an accomplished life and show up as the Mom and woman they know they can be. Her goal is to help moms see that it is not normal to always feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and tired, and that this isn't just a phase of life - but instead it is a hormonal imbalance that won't allow the body to switch out of the reactionary, fight or flight state. She helps clients support their stress response system and bring their hormones back into balance through a phased approach that consists of discovering who they're meant to be, stress and mood control through biology, aligning your hormones, and aligning your identity.

What are microgreens, and why are they so beneficial for your health with Lisa and Justin Brocato with Rooted Locally
Lisa and Justin will explain why microgreens are so beneficial, delicious, and are great for your health. In 2016 after being inspired by the local food movement Lisa and Justin started their family-run business with only $500 out-of-pocket. That year they had only 1 rack with 3 lights set up in their dining room and sold at one farmer's market every Saturday. In 2018 they were one of 27 businesses selected by Ignite Buffalo and 43North to receive a grant of $25,000. Those dollars allowed them to expand their operations significantly, while also giving Justin the opportunity to leave his 9-to-5 job for Rooted Locally full-time. Today they operate out of a 400-square foot grow space with all state-of-the-art grow lights. They attend 2 weekly farmer's markets, many pop-up events and have over 20 restaurants they provide microgreens and edible flowers too. Next up is the development of their operations on 24-acres of land they purchased in East Amherst, NY. Their plans are to continue the indoor vertical farming but expand into more traditional farming as well. The dream is to create an agri-tourism destination there.

Harmful Ingredients Commonly Found in Toothpaste
Many conventional kinds of toothpaste contain harmful ingredients. These can be difficult to recognize on the label. You may be wondering why avoiding toxic toothpaste ingredients is so important when toothpaste is in your mouth for a short period of time, and even when it is, you certainly don't swallow it. The truth is, our mouths can also absorb those chemicals into the bloodstream. Also, certain ingredients can disrupt the natural balance of flora (both "good" and "bad" bacteria) in our mouths that aids in maintaining our oral health. There is a protective mucous membrane in your mouth that can become irritated, inflamed, and infected with toxic ingredients and this imbalance can even affect your gut microbiome.
