If you listen to the Awaken Beauty Podcast, you’re a woman in pursuit of high-quality thoughts, beauty, and lifestyle products.
You also are probably aware that we are exposed to hundreds of chemicals every single day -
In fact, to dial it in, Studies show that we are exposed to over 500 synthetic chemicals every day - within our homes.
One of the leading chemicals that wreaks havoc on our hormones and endocrine system is called Xenoestrogens.
Our guest today matches my passion for awakening individuals at any point in their health journey by providing highly researched, vetted, and efficient optimal health and aging solutions.
For over a decade, I’ve been educating and creating beauty and wellness products - before organic “was status quo” - and ladies, this is far deeper than “clean products.”
So through a Functional Medicine lens, joining us today is Dr. Anthony Jay - who is a scientist, author, and leading expert on a wealth of topics including xenoestrogens, epigenetics, and even stem cells.
In this epic episode, we’ll explore the macro and micro on how our environment, diet, genetic expression, and endocrine disruptors affect the aging process, our health, and even the brain.
Of course, what you can do about it.

- WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- Birth-control Pills - whether taking them or not, they’re found in our water - filter!
