What if the everyday products you rely on, including your water bottle, your shampoo, your food containers, were quietly working against your fertility?⁠ ⁠ That question sparked the journey behind The Plastic Detox, where Jesse and Darby Nubbe(@jesseanddarby_plastics ) took a closer look at the hidden chemicals in their daily lives.⁠ ⁠ Jesse and Darby joined other infertile couples to work with Million Marker and Dr. Shanna Swan to test their exposure levels and determine what meaningful changes were actually within reach.⁠ ⁠ Along the way, they rethought routines, challenged assumptions, and made shifts aimed at supporting their fertility outcomes.⁠ ⁠ In this conversation, they share what that experience was really like from start to finish.⁠ ⁠ They walk through what they learned from the Million Marker Exposure Test and how it shaped their decisions.⁠ ⁠ They also reflect on which changes made the biggest difference…and which ones proved more difficult to maintain.⁠ ⁠ Watch The Plastic Detox by tapping the Link In Bio and adding to your watch list for later!

Infertility is often treated as a mystery, but what if part of the answer has been hiding in everyday plastic all along?⁠ ⁠ Today, we’re joined by a couple whose journey put that question before a global audience.⁠ ⁠ Bruno Leonard (@brunoleonardo_usa ) and Monique Tavares (@monique.ct ) opened their lives on Netflix’s The Plastic Detox, sharing the emotional reality of trying to conceive while confronting the hidden impact of environmental toxics.⁠ ⁠ Before The Plastic Detox, Monique and Bruno were navigating the uncertainty, frustration, and heartbreak that so many couples quietly endure.⁠ ⁠ Through The Plastic Detox, they committed to testing, awareness, and meaningful lifestyle changes, including the data and insights we helped provide along the way.⁠ ⁠ What followed was extraordinary.⁠ ⁠ And we are so excited for them to share their experience with you all.⁠ ⁠ Today, we’ll talk about what life looked like before, what changed during The Plastic Detox, and how those changes continue to shape their growing family.⁠ ⁠ Can't make it Live?

Did you know most plastic products (>99%) are made from petrochemicals that are harmful to our health? Plastics and their chemical additives surround us – invading the foods we eat, the air we breathe, and the products we put on our skin. These harmful chemicals can interfere with hormones and are linked to higher risks of infertility, obesity, and chronic disease.  The good news is that there are effective steps you can take to protect yourself, your family, and your community.  Ready to unplastic your life? The Plastic Playbook is your guide to reducing plastic at home. Now available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Polish.  Inspired by the intervention that Dr. Shanna Swann and Million Marker completed with six couples in the new Netflix documentary, The Plastic Detox, this free guide offers science-backed strategies to protect your health at home. You’ll find actionable strategies to identify, reduce, and replace harmful plastics in key areas of your daily routine. The Plastic Playbook was developed in partnership between the Oceanic Preservation Society and Million Marker.

Bed, Bath, and Bleh! 🤢 Pretty smelling lotions aren't so pretty for your hormones. Many “fragrance” blends contain phthalates, a group of chemicals used to help scents last longer and stick to your skin. The problem? Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with your hormones and have been linked to issues like fertility challenges, metabolic changes, and developmental concerns. Because companies can list these chemicals simply as “fragrance,” it’s almost impossible to know what you’re actually being exposed to. That’s where Million Marker comes in. With simple at-home testing, you can measure your body’s phthalate levels and get personalized, science-backed recommendations to help you reduce exposure and swap in safer products. Better choices start with better data. Tap this post to shop Million Marker!

Can reducing plastic chemicals help fertility? 🤰🏻🧬 In The Plastic Detox, @million_marker saw levels of BPA and phthalates drop by up to ~70% in just weeks with simple product swaps. The initial results indicate a big take-away: the products you use every day matter. 💙

Plastic pollution doesn’t stop at the ocean...and neither do its health impacts.⁠ ⁠ Last night’s Detoxing from Plastic screening, in conjunction with SF Climate Week, brought that reality front and center. The Plastic Detox on Netflix shows how the same chemicals and microplastics harming our environment are also showing up in our bodies and affecting hormones, fertility, and long-term health.⁠ ⁠ One of the most special moments for Million Marker was seeing our team member Lindsay Hahn reunite with Bruno and Monique, one of the couples featured in The Plastic Detox. Throughout filming and beyond, we partnered with them to test for plastic-related chemicals, track their progress, and support realistic lifestyle changes that could help protect their fertility and overall health.⁠ ⁠ We’re so grateful that Monique and Bruno chose to share their story with the world...and deeply honored that Million Marker could play even a small role in their fertility journey! Their experience is a powerful reminder that when people have clear data, practical tools, and encouragement, small changes can add up to life-changing outcomes.⁠ ⁠ The conversation that followed the screening, featuring Louie Psihoyos, Josh 'Bones' Murphy, Shanna Swan, PhD, Thalia R. Segal, and moderator Dianna Cohen. highlighted a critical truth: Plastic isn’t just an environmental problem. It’s a human health problem we can actually do something about.⁠ ⁠ If you’ve watched The Plastic Detox (or plan to), and you’re wondering what your own exposure looks like, this is exactly the kind of work we do every day at Million Marker.

The momentum behind The Plastic Detox on Netflix is only growing...and it’s turning awareness into real results.⁠ ⁠ We’ve seen firsthand how Million Marker has helped couples struggling with infertility uncover hidden chemical exposures, lower their levels, and ultimately get pregnant. It’s powerful, practical, and most importantly, actionable!⁠ ⁠ And now, that same testing and guidance is available to consumers.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Million Marker has launched three exciting services to support health and fertility goals:⁠ ⁠ ⁠ • Exposure Test: The same Million Marker test you know and trust, delivering personalized insights into your chemical exposures and what to do about them.⁠ ⁠ • CleanPath: An interactive education program packed with modules, handouts, quizzes, and resources to help you take meaningful action step by step.⁠ ⁠ • Fertility Kit: The ultimate support system for conception and a healthy pregnancy—a 12-week guided intervention that includes two Exposure Tests for progress tracking, plus full access to CleanPath for an entire year.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ This is the same environmental chemical testing approach and report-back used by Shanna Swan, PhD in The Plastic Detox. If you’ve been looking for a clear, science-backed path forward, Million Marker can provide the road map.⁠ ⁠ Learn more. Tap our Link In Bio or shop this post!
