Toxic Chemicals in Your Body: Protect Your Development, Fertility, and Peace of Mind

Sep 18, 2023

New episode out now! The incredible Jenna Hua, PhD, MPH of Million Marker joins Sophia on the podcast. Jenna tells her incredible story of discovery and healing from working as a Dietician with patients with diabetes, to pursuing environmental exposure research, to her personal experience with fertility.

 

Decades of studies show that these household and environmental toxins can impact the success of IVF, infertility treatments, and fetal development. She shares her passion of empowering people to know what is in their bodies — because this data empowers us to reduce our exposures.
