  • The Truth about Electrolytes: How Quality Minerals Change Everything w/ Dr. Abby Kramer ✨Ep. 111
    Apr 22 2025

    Your filtered water might be clean, but it's also dead, and that's why you're not feeling as good as you should.

    In this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Abby Kramer, co-founder of Fringe Heals, we dive deep into the world of electrolytes, minerals, and the honest truth about the supplement industry. While most supplements don't deliver on their promises and contain hidden ingredients like maltodextrin and artificial flavors, proper mineral supplementation is one of the few areas where quality products can create immediate, noticeable improvements in your health.

    The reality is stark: our soil and water have become severely depleted of essential minerals, leaving most people deficient in these critical nutrients. Even if you're filtering your water for safety (which you should), you're likely removing the minerals your body desperately needs. This deficiency affects everything from energy levels and anxiety to sleep quality and muscle recovery.

    In this episode, Dr. Kramer shares her journey creating truly clean electrolyte and magnesium supplements, why most products on the market miss the mark, and how proper mineral balance can transform your health. Whether you're dealing with brain fog, muscle soreness, or just want to optimize your wellness routine, you'll learn why minerals might be the missing piece in your health puzzle.

    In today's episode, we're chatting about:

    • Why most electrolytes on the market contain hidden ingredients not listed on the label

    • How mineral deficiency affects your energy, anxiety, and overall wellbeing

    • The truth about reverse osmosis water and why it needs remineralization

    • Why magnesium is involved in over 800 biochemical processes in your body

    • How to identify quality supplements in an unregulated industry

  • The Hidden Fertility Factor in Your Underwear Drawer ✨ Ep. 110
    Apr 15 2025

    Register for the Annual Cultivate Seeds of Fertility Summit happening April 23-25, 2025.

    Polyester underwear could be sabotaging your fertility, and most couples trying to conceive have no idea.

    In this eye-opening episode, I dive into fascinating research dating back to the 1990s that shows a direct connection between polyester underwear and decreased fertility.

    A prolific surgeon with over a thousand published studies discovered that dogs wearing polyester underwear became infertile, with low sperm motility and other reproductive issues that reversed when the polyester was removed. (Dr. Shafik https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8279095/)

    Similar studies on human males showed comparable results, even affecting sexual desire and activity.

    What's particularly interesting is that while these studies initially focused on static electricity from polyester. We now know that chemicals commonly added to polyester fabrics including flame retardants, phthalates, BPA, and PFAS are all known reproductive toxins. This makes the switch to natural fiber underwear even more crucial for anyone concerned about fertility.

    If you're trying to conceive or planning to in the future, this episode provides practical guidance on finding stylish, comfortable 100% cotton underwear options for both you and your partner. Plus, I invite you to the upcoming Cultivate Seeds of Fertility Summit, where I'll be sharing more insights on eliminating toxins that impact fertility, including a free downloadable checklist to help you create a fertility-friendly environment.

    In today's episode, we're chatting about:

    • The scientific evidence linking polyester underwear to decreased fertility

    • Why chemicals in polyester affect reproductive health and development

    • How to find stylish, comfortable 100% cotton underwear options

    • The best natural fiber underwear brands for both women and men

    • Details about the upcoming Cultivate Seeds of Fertility Summit

  • New to Non-Toxic? Start Here with 5 Simple Steps for the Biggest Impact ✨ Ep. 109
    Apr 8 2025

    Your drinking water probably contains more toxins than anything else in your home, yet most people focus on skincare first when starting their toxin-free journey.

    As an Environmental Toxins attorney turned Clean Living Coach, I've watched the non-toxic living space become increasingly overwhelming, polarizing, and fear-based. But reducing your toxic exposure shouldn't feel stressful! It should feel empowering and even fun. That's why I've created this straightforward guide for beginners that focuses on the five changes that will actually make the biggest difference in your overall toxic load.

    From filtering your drinking water to ditching synthetic fragrances, these five simple swaps target what you consume and inhale all day long & the areas where most of your toxic exposure occurs. You'll be surprised to learn that you don't need different cleaners for every surface in your home, and that those disposable coffee cups are exposing you to more chemicals than you realize.

    By implementing just these five changes, your toxic exposure will be lower than approximately 80% of the general population. Plus, you'll save money in the process by eliminating unnecessary products and using smart alternatives. Once these become part of your routine, you can continue your journey to becoming a little more toxin-free every day.

    In today's episode, we're chatting about:

    • Why filtering your drinking water should be your first priority

    • The truth about non-stick cookware and which alternatives actually work

    • How disposable coffee cups are leaching chemicals into your hot beverages

    • Why you only need one cleaning concentrate for your entire home

    • How synthetic fragrances are polluting your indoor air quality and what to use instead
