Environmental Health Scientist on Harmful Chemicals and Their Effects w/ Dr. Jenna Hua

An environmental health scientist and dietitian by training, Jenna is passionate about the environment, public health and everything food. Frustrated by the lack of data for how harmful chemicals (like BPA, phthalates and parabens) from plastics and everyday products affect our health and clinical outcomes, and the absence of personalized approach to mitigate harmful chemical exposures, Jenna set out on a mission to change these. She founded Million Marker, a health-tech startup dedicated to empower everyone with the data and tools to determine how the products they use, the food they eat, the water they drink negatively or positively influence their health. MillionMarker helps people understand what chemicals are inside of them—and then provides simple solutions for quickly reducing harmful chemicals through mail-in test kits, lifestyle audits, product recommendations, and counseling. Dr. Hua is a US Fulbright Fellow and completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship with Stanford University’s School of Medicine. In today’s episode, Dr. Jenna Hua explains environmental toxins, what they are, and how they play a role in infertility. She goes into detail on how environmental toxins can impact our hormones and fertility, how to know if you are being impacted by them, and how to remove and detox from them.
