Trying to grow your family can come with a lot of questions: Can we afford this? What should we prioritize? What can we do now? Those questions are especially real when fertility care costs are competing with groceries, housing, insurance, and everything else life requires.

Fertility planning is also financial planning, whether that means considering IVF, egg freezing, testing, supplements, or other ways to support reproductive health. It can be hard to know where to spend your time, energy, and money.

At Million Marker, we believe better information can help you make more intentional choices about your health, your environment, your fertility goals, and your budget.

Infertility is often treated as a mystery, but growing research suggests that environmental chemicals may play a role in reproductive health. In this powerful conversation, we’re joined by Bruno Leonard and Monique Tavares, whose fertility journey was featured in the Netflix documentary The Plastic Detox.

Bruno and Monique opened their lives to millions of viewers, sharing the emotional realities of trying to conceive while investigating the potential impact of environmental toxins found in everyday products.

Period care products sit directly against some of the most absorbent tissue in the body, often for hours at a time. Pads, tampons, and liners can include bleached fibers, fragrances, dyes, and "leak-proof" plastics that may introduce unnecessary chemicals right where the body is most permeable. Choosing simpler, fragrance-free period products made with safer materials and fewer additives helps support comfort, dignity, and health during every cycle, not just leak protection.

Reclaim your independence from plastic. Save your health and the planet by limiting your use of microplastics.

Increased use of microplastics has created a need to differentiate types of microplastics:

Primary microplastics - used to make packaging and everyday products

Secondary microplastics - leftover pieces after plastic gets destroyed, heated, or breaks down with time

Manage primary and secondary microplastic waste by starting at the top. Without primary microplastics, secondary microplastics wouldn't exist.

Reduce the presence of secondary microplastics. Avoid primary microplastics in clothing, personal care items, foods, and other products.
