About

Toxins in everyday life may be hiding in places you’d never think to look. What if the exposures affecting your health aren't coming from your diet or workouts, but from the water you drink, the products you use, and the places where you exercise? Let’s explore everyday environmental exposures, potential effects on hormones, and why women in midlife may want to take a closer look at their cumulative exposure. This episode offers practical ways to become more aware of hidden toxins in everyday life without giving up the activities that support a stronger, healthier life. My Guest: Dr. Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider who helps women and men build sustainable, optimal health and longevity. She specializes in helping midlife women restore optimal hormone levels so they can improve sleep, mood, body composition, and how they feel in their bodies. Stephanie is the Amazon best-selling author of Your Longevity Blueprint and Your Fertility Blueprint, with Your Hormone Blueprint soon to launch. She is also the host of the Your Longevity Blueprint podcast and co-founder of Your Longevity Blueprint Nutraceuticals and the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic in Hiawatha, Iowa. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:04:02] Could everyday exposures be adding up? [00:05:15] What do agricultural chemicals have to do with health? [00:07:15] Is your drinking water as clean as you think? [00:10:28] Could your water bottle affect your hormones? [00:11:18] Should you think twice about swimming in pools or lakes? [00:14:54] Are outdoor activities exposing you to more than you realize?
