<description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;It’s likely that every person listening to this episode knows someone who has experienced challenges getting pregnant. Maybe you experienced them yourself. This is often the first time that people begin to consider the effects of toxic chemicals on their health, despite the fact that they can affect us at every age and stage of life, from puberty through perimenopause, and the issue is not just impacting women, it’s also affecting men and their sperm count and general hormonal health. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;In this episode, I am talking with reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Lora Shahine about how toxic chemicals influence our reproductive health and our health in general. She will explain how they disrupt hormonal balance during crucial phases of life and provide valuable insights for everyone, regardless of age or stage.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;You will walk away with simple and practical steps to reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals and improve your hormonal and reproductive health. This really is a conversation that everyone should hear. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Episodes Mentioned&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.podpage.com/cleanandgreenliving/episode-88-environmental-toxins-and-declining-sperm-count-with-dr-shanna-swan/"&gt; Episode 88&lt;/a&gt; with Dr. Shanna Swan&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.podpage.com/cleanandgreenliving/episode-9-the-life-changing-power-of-tossing-the-toxins-with-allison-evans-of-branch-basics/"&gt; Episode 9&lt;/a&gt; with Allison Evans&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.podpage.com/cleanandgreenliving/episode-6-how-endocrine-disrupting-chemicals-are-impacting-your-health-and-what-to-do-about-it-with/"&gt; Episode 6&lt;/a&gt; with Dr. Leo Trasande&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.podpage.com/cleanandgreenliving/ep-70-uncovering-environmental-toxins-with-dr-jenna-hua-of-million-marker/"&gt; Episode 70&lt;/a&gt; with Dr. Jenna Hua&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resources Mentioned&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Use this &lt;a href="https://crunchi.com/?als=ReganNelson"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; to shop Crunchi and choose Regan Nelson as your Brand Advocate&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connect with Regan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On Instagram &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/cleanandgreenlivingpodcast?igsh=dm10Y3B5OW16NDRz&amp;utm_source=qr"&gt; @cleanandgreenlivingpodcast &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-nelson-4539646/"&gt;LinkedIn &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.threads.net/@cleanandgreenlivingpodcast"&gt;Threads&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Join the Clean &amp; Green Living Free FB community &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1422740658450218/?mibextid=oMANbw"&gt; here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Join the Clean &amp; Green Living Newsletter &lt;a href="https://cleanandgreenliving.myflodesk.com/duvlnu95kj"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Download the Clean &amp; Green Living Guide &lt;a href="https://cleanandgreenliving.myflodesk.com/nnowapu889"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Email regan at &lt;a href="mailto:cleanandgreenlivingpodcast@gmail.com"&gt;cleanandgreenlivingpodcast@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connect with Dr. Shahine&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Website &lt;a href="https://drlorashahine.com/"&gt;https://drlorashahine.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/drlorashahine/"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/drlorashahine"&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@drlorashahine"&gt;Tik Tok&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lora-shahine-md-facog-baba0a16/"&gt;LinkedIn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is a public episode.

Episode 23: Being Crunchi with Melanie Petschke: Safety and Sustainability Without Sacrifice

<description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Take a moment with me to close your eyes and visualize your neighbor’s yard, a local park, or a school field. Now, imagine someone walking through that beautiful green space with a backpack sprayer, misting chemicals across the grass. My guess is this image easily comes to mind because it is something you have seen before. The question is,  have you ever stopped to wonder what these chemicals are and what they could mean for your health? If not, that’s okay. Today, I am here to share with you a harsh reality of the pesticides, herbicides and insecticides being used in all the places where you and your families spend your precious time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;In this episode, I am talking with Kim Konte from Non-Toxic Neighborhoods about the dangers of these chemicals, the systemic corruption allowing their use, and the incredible work being done to create safer environments for all of us. Most importantly, you will walk away with the knowledge and resources to make your yard and the green spaces in your community&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connect With Non-Toxic Neighborhoods&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Non-Toxic Neighborhoods &lt;a href="https://nontoxicneighborhoods.org"&gt;Website&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Email &lt;a href="mailto:team@nontoxicneighborhoods.org" class="linkified"&gt;team@nontoxicneighborhoods.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Get the Playbook here &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connect with Regan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On Instagram &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/cleanandgreenlivingpodcast?igsh=dm10Y3B5OW16NDRz&amp;utm_source=qr"&gt; @cleanandgreenlivingpodcast &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-nelson-4539646/"&gt;LinkedIn &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.threads.net/@cleanandgreenlivingpodcast"&gt;Threads&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Join the Clean &amp; Green Living Free FB community &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1422740658450218/?mibextid=oMANbw"&gt; here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Join the Clean &amp; Green Living Newsletter &lt;a href="https://cleanandgreenliving.myflodesk.com/duvlnu95kj"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Download the Clean &amp; Green Living Guide &lt;a href="https://cleanandgreenliving.myflodesk.com/nnowapu889"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Email regan at &lt;a href="mailto:cleanandgreenlivingpodcast@gmail.com"&gt;cleanandgreenlivingpodcast@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is a public episode.

Episode 22: How to Make Your Neighborhood Non-Toxic with Kim Konte

<description>&lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;We spend approximately 30% of our life sleeping on a mattress, yet have you ever thought about what your mattress is made of and how that might also be impacting your health. When Tim Masters' infant daughter was suffering from severe allergies and eczema he started to think about how the chemicals in her mattress might be playing a role. This marked the beginning of My Green Mattress: a company committed to building the best, organic certified and hypoallergenic mattresses. In this episode we’re talking about what conventional mattresses are made of and how those materials can be harmful to your health. We’re going to help you identify what certifications to look for when choosing a safer mattress, and I’m even sharing my own journey in transitioning from a Beauty Rest to a My Green Mattress. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resources mentioned &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Use &lt;a href="https://www.mygreenmattress.com/partner/thisorsomethingbetter/"&gt;this link&lt;/a&gt; and the promo code somethingbetter for $125 off an adult mattress and $20 off the crib mattress. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connect with My Green Mattress&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Website &lt;a href="https://www.mygreenmattress.com/"&gt;https://www.mygreenmattress.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/mygreenmattress/"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/mygreenmattress/"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connect with Regan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On Instagram &lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/cleanandgreenlivingpodcast?igsh=dm10Y3B5OW16NDRz&amp;utm_source=qr"&gt; @cleanandgreenlivingpodcast &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-nelson-4539646/"&gt;LinkedIn &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;On &lt;a href="https://www.threads.net/@cleanandgreenlivingpodcast"&gt;Threads&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Join the Clean &amp; Green Living Free FB community &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1422740658450218/?mibextid=oMANbw"&gt; here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Join the Clean &amp; Green Living Newsletter &lt;a href="https://cleanandgreenliving.myflodesk.com/duvlnu95kj"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Download the Clean &amp; Green Living Guide &lt;a href="https://cleanandgreenliving.myflodesk.com/nnowapu889"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir="ltr"&gt;Email regan at &lt;a href="mailto:cleanandgreenlivingpodcast@gmail.com"&gt;cleanandgreenlivingpodcast@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is a public episode.
