Ep 99: Declutter Toxins from Your Home and Life with Dr. Jenna Hua

Do you ever wonder about the chemicals you use in your home or in your skin care and beauty routine? Honestly, most people don’t give much consideration to the plastics they use to store leftovers or the lotion they lather on a couple times a day, but they can make a big impact on your life, especially when it comes to getting pregnant.

This was the ah-ha moment my guest on the Wannabe Minimalist Show had as she suffered her 4th late-stage miscarriage. When her doctors couldn't tell her the cause, she took it upon herself to dig into the products we all use everyday. What she discovered is pretty shocking, upsetting, and unbelievable.

A registered dietitian and environmental health scientist by training, Dr. Jenna Hua's past research has focused on how our surrounding environment impacts our behaviors and health. Jenna holds a BS in Nutrition and an MPH and PhD in Environmental Health Sciences from UC Berkeley and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford Medicine. Yep...she’s legit.

She founded Million Marker, a health-tech startup dedicated to empowering everyone with the data and tools to determine how the products they use, the food they eat, and the water they drink negatively or positively influence their health.
