"Your Fillings Are Toxic Waste” - A Scientist's Rebel Story
Rebels with a Root Cause
"Your Fillings Are Toxic Waste” Your dental fillings contain enough mercury to shut down a school. Your home is likely more toxic than an EPA-regulated hazmat site. And nobody's talking about it.

"Infertility is a Blessing" - A Fertility Revolution Story
Rebels with a Root Cause
"Infertility is a blessing." Dr. Ann Shippy isn't crazy—she's right. And she's got the pregnancies to prove it. From IBM's corporate ladder (reporting to the plant manager in 9 years) to a functional medicine doctor treating what conventional medicine calls "impossible"—her journey started when the system failed her.

info_outline"Your Fillings Are Toxic Waste”
Your dental fillings contain enough mercury to shut down a school. Your home is likely more toxic than an EPA-regulated hazmat site. And nobody's talking about it.
Warren Phillips was an environmental scientist who spent years cleaning up toxic waste—measuring heavy metals, remediating mold, and ensuring contaminated sites met EPA standards. Then he discovered something that shattered everything he thought he knew about "safe."
The toxins he was cleaning up professionally were NOTHING compared to what was lurking in his own home.
After severe mercury and lead exposure, Warren went from a thriving professional with $100K in savings to unable to leave his parents' moldy basement. He couldn't drive. Couldn't have conversations. Couldn't even look people in the eye. Ten doctors later, he still had zero answers—just prescriptions he'd need "for the rest of his life."
What happened next sparked a movement that's now reached over 2 million people.
