With modern living comes modern problems. Man-made chemicals have become a part of everyday life. There are about 85,000 chemicals in commerce, and about 2,500 new chemicals are introduced every year. Very few of these chemicals have had adequate toxicological studies to evaluate their health effects on humans and wildlife. So, how are we, the consumers, able to determine what is safe for us to use or be exposed to and what isn't? Board-certified toxicologist and consumer advocate, Dr. Yvonne Burkart (@dryvonneburkart (https://www.instagram.com/dryvonneburkart/?hl=en)), breaks down key terms and definitions to help us navigate the world of chemicals and toxicants and gives us 10 ways to detoxify our homes to live a longer, healthier life and to age powerfully armed with information. Episode supported by: @dermalogicacanada (https://www.instagram.com/dermalogica/)Use code AGING POWERFULLY to receive an exclusive gift with a minimum $50 purchase at www.dermalogica.ca (http://www.dermalogica.ca/). Find Melissa Grelo on Instagram @MelissaGrelo (https://www.instagram.com/melissagrelo/?hl=en) and @AgingPowerfullyWithMG (https://www.instagram.com/agingpowerfullywithmg/?hl=en), or on her website AgingPowerfullyWithMelissaGrelo.com (https://www.agingpowerfullywithmelissagrelo.com/).Find clips of the show on YouTube @MelissaGrelo (https://www.youtube.com/user/MelissaGrelo). Producer: Melissa GreloAudio/Video Producer and Editor: Drew Garner

One of women's greatest superpowers is our ability to connect, share and learn from one another. In this episode, three different women share their unique experiences of perimenopause and menopause. Listen as Racquel Rodriguez, Maria Cristina Bruno and Kelly Gerred discuss when they started experiencing symptoms, who did or didn't help them navigate the journey and what they're doing about it today. One of the guests discuss entering menopause instantly after breast cancer treatments. It's a powerful conversation and I hope that you will listen and share it with women in your life who are looking for support and validation in their menopause journey. This episode brought to you by Felix Health.
