Yeah, especially coming from where I came from, where I had those problems. And just to think, if I can prevent that in my children and help people prevent that in their children, then that's the best outcome for everyone. I actually... I did never pay attention to toxins before. I studied toxicology. I was in the lab.

I was looking at really toxic chemicals, chemicals that we know cause harm and cause cancer. But as I went on with my life, I started to face more and more increasing health issues, increasing in severity until I was faced with fertility challenges.

IBF oder in vitro Fertilisierung wäre meine einzige Option, wenn ich eine Familie haben wollte. Und ich war nicht bereit, das zu akzeptieren, weil ich sagte, warte mal, ich weiß, dass es einen wirtschaftlichen Komponenten gibt. Es gibt Chemikalien in unserem Umfeld, die meine Fertilität beeinflussen. Das ist das, was ich im Labor studiert habe. Ich studierte Fertilität und Kanzer.

So it wasn't until I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and research that I started to uncover the linkages between these low-dose environmental chemicals and products that we're using all the time and how they impacted my health. And when I started to remove them and replace them with safer options, my health returned.
