New Study Shows Tampons Containing Heavy Metals: The Facts and What Alternatives I Recommend (Ep. 31)

These results are disturbing on multiple levels and I want you to be informed. We'll discuss the study details, understanding "normal" vs optimal ranges in testing, alternatives products I would recommend that are below in the show notes, and more!   Time Stamps:   (1:25) Share This Episode With A Woman You Care About (2:50) When I First Read This Study (4:00) The Reality of Birth Control (6:30) My Perimenopause Journey So Far (9:30) A "Normal" Western Range (10:30) Study Details (15:45) Alternatives Listed Below ----------  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412024004355?via%3Dihub   @heralogie - https://www.heralogie.com/collections/all?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAA904forvCnKiHUzRavOh9ZyZrTklu&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhb60BhClARIsABGGtw8gRIULfKLFkF9FO60X-W-KvysJNYkUigdN8KtmMlLUlK6yDndrVM0aAnzPEALw_wcB   @itsaugust - https://www.itsaugust.co/?nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ag%3A13515195355%3A127178478681%3A705115708684&nb_adtype=&nb_kwd=its%20august&nb_ti=kwd-2080469001765&nb_mi=&nb_pc=&nb_pi=&nb_ppi=&nb_placement=&nb_li_ms=&nb_lp_ms=&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=e&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAABU-whgAcsvMuoI4gFh1xryrCpc9L&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhb60BhClARIsABGGtw-dRQC8mGTYpNYnm14RK2G03JUDKE7pDjuUN9I4OxnBD2VCXMYKTC8aAvIoEALw_wcB Hevea Planet - https://heveaplanet.com/ ----------  Apply for SF Coaching Method  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/sfhq-cc Complimentary Health Content  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/Health_Wellness_Community ----------  Follow Me On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahfechter.ifbbpro/   Check Out My Website - https://www.sarahfechter.com ----------  This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, other professional health care services, or any professional practice of any kind.
