🔬🧴 Research *strongly* suggests that chemicals in cosmetics contribute to the development of cancer.

Specifically, parabens and phthalates have been linked to breast cancer.

While cosmetics and personal care products are often seen as tools for beauty and self-care, emerging research highlights a potential hidden cost: chemical exposure linked to cancer risk.

Studies strongly suggest that certain chemicals found in cosmetics, particularly at high or repeated exposure levels, may contribute to cancer development.

Two major groups under scrutiny are parabens and phthalates—common ingredients in makeup, moisturizers, hair care products, nail polish, and fragrances. These chemicals are known hormone disruptors, capable of interfering with the body’s hormonal systems by mimicking or blocking estrogen and other hormones.

This is particularly concerning when it comes to breast cancer. Estrogen can fuel the growth of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancers, and both parabens and phthalates may throw off the body’s hormonal balance.

Parabens, which act like a weak form of estrogen, have been found in breast tissue, though this alone doesn’t confirm a direct link. Phthalates don’t mimic estrogen directly but still disrupt hormone systems, including testosterone’s interaction with estrogen.

For those looking to reduce their risk, reading ingredient labels and choosing products free of these chemicals is a proactive step supported by current science.

Ever feel like your medical provider dismisses your fatigue, brain fog, bloating, or joint pain as “normal” or “just stress”? 😩
Functional medicine doctors dig deeper and spot clues conventional docs often miss:

🔍 Subtle nutrient gaps (like low vitamin D, B12, or omega-3s) that fuel exhaustion
🔍 Gut imbalances (leaky gut or dysbiosis) linking digestion issues to mood swings & skin problems
🔍 Hidden inflammation from food sensitivities or toxins
🔍 Hormone disruptions (cortisol imbalances, insulin resistance) causing weight gain & night sweats
🔍 Stress/sleep patterns as root triggers, not just side effects
They connect “unrelated” symptoms to fix the cause—not just mask them with pills! 🌱
If you’ve been told “your labs are fine” but you don’t feel fine, it’s time for a root-cause approach. Who’s ready to feel vibrant again? Drop a ❤️ if this resonates!

Stanford, UCSF trained functional-pediatrician who I met while training in functional pediatrics 2-3 years ago. She is wonderful, is a great resource and shares so much free knowledge online for people. Wanted to share because our area is so limited and so far behind on best medicine for children and there are several highly trained pediatricians and pediatric practitioners out there they are just a little more difficult to find. ❤️

From ADHD and autism to allergies and autoimmunity, the rates of chronic disease in children are exploding. But why are our kids so sick? Is there a common t...

🧠 Autism & Leaky Gut Link?
Kids with autism often show high zonulin + increased gut permeability, letting toxins reach the brain via gut-brain axis. GI issues common. Promising, but not proven. More research needed!

🧩 Why GI-MAP for Kids with Autism?
80%+ of autistic kids have chronic GI issues (constipation, diarrhea, bloating). The GI-MAP stool test reveals:
🔬 Dysbiosis (imbalanced bacteria)
🔥 Inflammation markers (calprotectin)
🦠 Pathogens/parasites
🍄 Yeast overgrowth (candida)
🛡️ Zonulin (leaky gut indicator)
Fixing gut imbalances often improves behavior, sleep, focus & reduces meltdowns. Early detection = targeted probiotics, diet, or meds.

A new study has revealed that IV bags — a staple of modern medicine — could be sending microplastics directly into your bloodstream during hospital infusions.

🔎 Researchers analyzed infusion fluids and found:

• Up to 7,500 microplastic particles per litre
• Mostly polypropylene (the same plastic used in medical packaging)
• Particle sizes ranging from 1–62 micrometres — small enough to circulate in the body

🌍 Why it matters:

• Microplastics have already been found in human blood, lungs, and even placentas.
• IV bags may represent a direct and concentrated pathway into the bloodstream.
• The long-term health effects are still uncertain, but scientists warn of possible inflammation, organ deposition, and cellular stress.

👩‍⚕️ Hospitals rely on single-use plastics for safety, but this discovery highlights a hidden cost of our plastic-dependent healthcare system.

Plastics don’t just pollute the planet — they may already be flowing through us.
