Marcela Magda Popa, M.D., author of the Amazon bestseller Keep Away from GRAS, is a Board Certified Internal Medicine physician
After sixteen years in private practice, her autoimmune arthritis forced her into early retirement. As she stopped practicing medicine, she began to analyze and research her suspicion that certain chemicals present in every day products were worsening her arthritis symptoms. Low dose exposure to certain other chemicals, also present in commonly used products may have been the culprit in her worsening migraine headaches and even the more bothersome, recurrent breast abnormalities.
Dr. Popa noticed improvements by taking a different approach and looked at these diseases from a different perspective. When she eliminated the chemicals from her body, her symptoms were alleviated. Through her experience, she figured out these “generally recognized as safe”—(GRAS) substances are not necessarily safe, inert, or inactive and our chronic but constant exposure, even at low doses, can have an as yet unidentified or not fully accepted impact on our health.
She’s the founder of Healthy Strategies Consulting, which aims to heighten consumer awareness of what hidden dangers may be sitting on their bathroom shelves, pantries, laundry room, in their foods, and even in their medications. Her mission is to help people suffering from migraines, breast abnormalities, and autoimmune diseases, who are not obtaining answers from conventional medicine.
