He explains what environmental pollution encompasses, where it fits within the broader hierarchy of longevity interventions, and why studying its health effects is uniquely challenging. Peter examines the evidence linking air pollution to disease and shares actionable strategies for improving indoor and outdoor air quality. He also discusses how noise and light pollution can influence sleep, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being, offering practical ways to reduce their effects in daily life. Finally, Peter takes an evidence-based look at electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and 5G technology, evaluating the current science and whether concerns about these exposures are supported by the available data.

Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter Explains Brain Inflammation and Alzheimer's Risk Your brain has its own immune system, and when it turns against you, it becomes the hidden driver behind Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, and even long COVID. This episode hands you the science to recognize it early and reverse it. Get Dr. Perlmutter's new book Brain Defenders: https://drperlmutter.com/books/brain-defenders/ Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author whose work sits at the intersection of neurology, nutrition, and brain health. He is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, serves on its Board of Directors, and sits on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. His books, including the number one bestseller Grain Brain, span 32 languages and have sold over a million copies, and his upcoming release, Brain Defenders, explores the pivotal role of microglia, the brain's immune cells, in protecting, repairing, and reprogramming the brain for lifelong resilience. Dave and Dr. Perlmutter break down how microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, shift from a supportive state into a destructive one called M1, and why this shift, not amyloid plaque, may be the real driver of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegenerative conditions. They dig into why the leading amyloid-clearing drugs fail to improve cognition, what a landmark JAMA study revealed about reversing cognitive decline through lifestyle intervention alone, and why a single daily serving of ultra-processed food raised Alzheimer's risk by 13 percent in a 12.7 year study. They also cover new research on GLP-1 drugs and brain inflammation, the surprising role of gum disease and oral bacteria in dementia risk, and why 40 hertz light therapy is emerging as a low-cost tool for clearing brain plaque and calming neuroinflammation. You'll Learn: Why the shift from supportive to destructive brain immune cells may be the true root cause of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Why leading Alzheimer's drugs fail to improve cognition, and what the original research behind the amyloid hypothesis actually showed How one daily serving of ultra-processed food raises Alzheimer's risk, and what a landmark lifestyle intervention study found instead Whether GLP-1 drugs help or harm brain inflammation, based on new Parkinson's and Alzheimer's trial data How gum disease and oral bacteria are linked to dementia, and simple daily habits that reduce that risk Why 40 hertz light therapy is emerging as a tool to clear brain plaque and calm neuroinflammation How ketones, DHA, and metabolic health protect the brain after head injury Thank you to our sponsors! - Beyond Wonderland Conference | Oct 13 - 14, 2026.

Do your migraines seem to flare up as temperatures rise? Summer heat can place unique stress on the migraine brain, often triggering symptoms long before the pain begins.In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explains how heat, dehydration, and sudden temperature shifts can impact migraine sufferers differently—and what you can do to stay one step ahead.You'll discover: ☀️ Five early clues that summer heat may be contributing to your migraine attacks ☀️ Why hot weather, fluid loss, and temperature fluctuations can affect the migraine brain so strongly ☀️ Simple ways to protect yourself from heat-related migraines and enjoy the season with greater confidenceUnderstanding your body's early signals can help you take action before a migraine fully develops. This episode offers practical insights to help you navigate warmer months with fewer disruptions and more peace of mind.

Mary and Andrew start with a deeper dive into the Supreme Court's decision to allow the removal of Temporary Protected Status designations from over 330,000 immigrants from Haiti and Syria — a consequential ruling that affects TPS holders well beyond those who brought the case, leaving over a million people vulnerable to removal. As Andrew notes, this case was based on two claims: one being a statutory challenge that DHS didn't follow the procedures set out by Congress, and the other a constitutional equal protection claim that this TPS status removal was “motivated in part by race” — both of which were struck down 6-3. Then, a look at Trump's latest retribution efforts including the heavy sentences doled out over a protest that ended in a shooting outside the ICE Prairieland Detention Center inTexas one year ago; a felony indictment of former Olympian David Hearn for allegedly tearing part of the liner of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool; and former CIA Director John Brennan going on offense to challenge the DOJ's investigation into him. Plus, Mary and Andrew analyze the DOJ's response to a “show cause” order to unredact some of the Epstein files in a lawsuit filed by journalist Katie Phang.

Send us Fan MailMany people living with migraines say they can "feel a storm coming" before an attack. But is there scientific evidence that environmental exposures can influence migraine risk?In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks talks with Professor Gal Ifergane, neurologist and headache specialist, about his research on migraines and the environment. The conversation explores how air pollution, heat, solar radiation, and weather conditions may help lower the threshold for migraine attacks in people who are already susceptible.Professor Ifergane explains why migraine is often considered a threshold disorder, where genetics, biology, and environmental exposures may all interact to influence when an attack occurs.In this episode, you'll learn:• Can air pollution trigger migraines?• Are weather-related migraines real?• Can heat, sunlight, or solar radiation increase migraine risk?• How researchers study environmental migraine triggers• Why some people may be more sensitive to environmental exposures than others• What these findings could mean for migraine preventionIf you've ever wondered whether your surroundings—not just your brain—could influence migraine attacks, this episode explores what the current science says.About Professor Gal Ifergane:Professor Gal Ifergane is a neurologist, headache specialist, and clinical researcher who serves as Head of the Neurology Department and Chair of the Brain Medicine Division at Soroka Medical Center in Be'er Sheva, Israel. He is also a faculty member at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.His research focuses on migraine, headache disorders, stroke, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the effects of environmental exposures on neurological health. His work examines how factors such as air pollution, heat, and weather conditions may influence migraine risk and severity, with the goal of improving prevention and treatment for people living with migraine and other neurological disorders.Work with me?

There's a lot on the docket today. To pull apart the Iran “deal” framework, Mary and Andrew are joined by Tess Bridgeman, an international law expert who served as a legal advisor in the Obama administration through the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. Tess lays out how President Trump's 14-point memorandum of understanding differs from what was brokered in 2015, and what to watch for as negotiations continue. Before she joins, the co-hosts begin by analyzing several examples of what Mary calls the Trump Justice Department's "consistent effort” to avoid judicial review: their refusal to put into a sworn declaration that they won't move forward with the “Anti-Weaponization” fund and a motion to dismiss a Clean Air Act violation lawsuit against Elon Musk's xAI data center in Mississippi. They also tackle a few instances where, contrastingly, the government has positioned itself “on the offense” this week, including an indictment of 15 protesters on a conspiracy charge against ICE and the DHS' intent to build a border wall through a holy landmark atop Mount Cristo Rey in New Mexico.

We live in a time of unheralded environmental victories. Dolphins and whales swim in New York and San Francisco harbors. Lead has been eliminated globally in gasoline for cars and trucks. And Southern California has cleaned up its air.That last one is more important than you might think. On today's episode of Shift Key, Rob is joined by Ann Carlson, a professor of environmental law at UCLA and the former acting head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. She's also the author of a new book, Smog and Sunshine: The Surprising Story of How Los Angeles Cleaned Up Its Air, which was released last month by the University of California Press.Ann and Rob discuss why cleaning up LA's air was so important to cleaning up the world's air. They chat about why LA initially misdiagnosed the causes of its terrible air pollution, how it got them right, and what we can learn from the city's eventual inspiring success.

Transcript:Hu: A tavasz illata megérkezett Budapestre.En: The scent of spring had arrived in Budapest.Hu: Fák rügyeztek, a napfény melegen simogatta a várost.En: Trees were budding, and the sunlight warmly caressed the city.Hu: A Budapest Innovációs Központ lenyűgöző épülete a jövőt képviselte, üvegfalainak tükrében a régi város képe úszott.En: The impressive building of the Budapest Innovációs Központ represented the future, with the reflection of the old city swimming in its glass walls.Hu: A központ belsejében, a harmadik emelet egyik laborjában, Áron dolgozott.En: Inside the center, in one of the laboratories on the third floor, Áron was working.Hu: Lelkes környezetkutatóként a fenntarthatóság volt a szenvedélye.En: As an enthusiastic environmental researcher, sustainability was his passion.Hu: Egy forradalmi projekten munkálkodott, amely a város energiafelhasználásának csökkentésére irányult.En: He was working on a revolutionary project aimed at reducing the city's energy consumption.Hu: Azonban, amikor munkájába mélyedt, Áron valami aggasztót fedezett fel.En: However, as he delved deep into his work, Áron discovered something alarming.Hu: Az adatok szerint egy rejtett környezeti veszély fenyegette a várost.En: According to the data, a hidden environmental threat was endangering the city.Hu: A légszennyezés okozta károk elérték azt a szintet, ahol már sürgős beavatkozásra volt szükség.En: The damage caused by air pollution had reached a level where urgent intervention was needed.Hu: A felismerés súlya alatt Áron elbizonytalanodott.En: Under the weight of this realization, Áron became uncertain.Hu: Mi van, ha a számításai hibásak?En: What if his calculations were wrong?Hu: Mi van, ha a kollégái nem hisznek neki?En: What if his colleagues didn't believe him?Hu: Miközben ezek a gondolatok jártak a fejében, megérkezett Rebeka, a mérnökcsapat egyik tagja.En: While these thoughts were running through his mind, Rebeka, a member of the engineering team, arrived.Hu: "Áron, mi a helyzet?En: "Áron, what's going on?"Hu: " kérdezte barátságosan.En: she asked friendly.Hu: Áron először habozott, de végül elmondta neki, mit talált.En: Áron hesitated at first but finally told her what he had found.Hu: Rebeka komolyan hallgatta.En: Rebeka listened seriously.Hu: "Ez komoly probléma.En: "This is a serious problem.Hu: Segítek neked," mondta határozottan.En: I'll help you," she said firmly.Hu: Áron hálás volt a támogatásért, de tudta, hogy több kell.En: Áron was grateful for the support, but he knew more was needed.Hu: Megpróbálta értesíteni Gábort, a központ egyik vezetőjét, de Gábor szkeptikus volt.En: He tried to notify Gábor, one of the center's leaders, but Gábor was skeptical.Hu: A költségvetés szűk, és az idő még szűkösebb, mondta.En: The budget is tight, and time is even tighter, he said.Hu: "Két hete kaptunk forrásokat.En: "We got funding two weeks ago.Hu: Nem kezdhetünk új projektet," kitartott.En: We can't start a new project," he insisted.Hu: Áron érezte, hogy sürget az idő.En: Áron felt the urgency of the situation.Hu: Nem volt más választása, mint cselekedni.En: He had no choice but to act.Hu: Másnap reggel Áron és Rebeka egy grandiózus látványt készítettek elő az Innovációs Központ előcsarnokában.En: The next morning, Áron and Rebeka prepared a grand presentation in the foyer of the Innovációs Központ.Hu: Határozottan mutatta be az összegyűlt adatok súlyos következményeit.En: He confidently demonstrated the severe consequences of the gathered data.Hu: "Ez a városunk jövője!En: "This is the future of our city!"Hu: " magyarázta Áron egy kivetítővel a háta mögött.En: explained Áron with a projector behind him.Hu: A bemutató hatására lassan gyűlni kezdett a közönség.En: The presentation began to draw in the audience slowly.Hu: Gábor is ott volt, érdeklődése nőtt.En: Gábor was also there, and his interest was growing.Hu: Ahogy Áron az előadás végéhez közeledett, lassan megértette mindenki a probléma nagyságát.En: As Áron neared the end of the presentation, everyone gradually understood the magnitude of the problem.Hu: A bemutató után újabb meetinget hívtak össze.En: After the presentation, another meeting was convened.Hu: Gábor erőforrásokat ígért, és megkérte a többi kutatót, hogy támogassák Áront és Rebekát.En: Gábor promised resources and asked the other researchers to support Áron and Rebeka.Hu: A közös munkával gyorsan megoldást találtak a légszennyezés csökkentésére.En: Through collaborative work, they quickly found a solution to reduce air pollution.Hu: Az új projekt azonnali eredményeket hozott.En: The new project brought immediate results.Hu: Áron megtanulta, hogy bízzon önmagában, és merjen segítséget kérni.En: Áron learned to trust himself and dare to ask for help.Hu: A közös munka erősebbé tette a projektet és őt magát is.En: The collaboration strengthened both the project and himself.Hu: Az immár együttműködő csapat elismeréssel tekintett Räonra: már nem félt, hanem magabiztos volt, és tudta, hogy a helyes utat választotta.En: The now cooperative team looked at Áron with admiration: he was no longer afraid but confident and knew he had chosen the right path.

As public health officials warn about rising emissions from urban wood burning, a BMJ investigation finds that just under a third of UK councils in high use areas have faced pressure from the stove industry to tone down or withdraw campaigns. Almost a third of UK children live in poverty. Leading expert Michael Marmot weighs in on the UK's "steepest rise" in child poverty among OECD countries and why local government "Marmot Cities" like Coventry and Manchester are taking the lead where national policy falls short. And, a new BMJ collection has just been published on child mental health in conflict zones. 1 in 5 children globally live in conflict zones, creating a staggering mental health toll.

With the American republic hanging in the balance, Ralph calls on Democrats to pressure Republicans in the House and Senate to impeach Trump before the midterms or suffer the consequences. Then, we welcome Dino Grandoni, co-author of a Washington Post report on the surprising ways various species of animals and plants help advance our own health and longevity.Dino Grandoni is a reporter who covers life sciences for the Washington Post. He was part of a reporting team that was a finalist for the 2025 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting for coverage of Hurricane Helene. He previously covered the Environmental Protection Agency and wrote a daily tipsheet on energy and environmental policy. He is co-author (with Hailey Haymond and Katty Huertas) of the feature “50 Species That Save Us.”The Democrats—while there are people like constitutional law expert Jamie Raskin (who has said a shadow hearing to publicly educate the American people on impeachment “is a good idea”) he's been muzzled by Hakeem Jeffries and Charlie Schumer, who basically don't want the Democrats to use the word impeachment. So who's using the word impeachment the most? Donald Trump—not only wants to impeach judges who decide against him, but he's talking about the Democrats impeaching him, and he uses the word all the time. So we have an upside-down situation here where the opposition party is not in the opposition on the most critical factor, which is that we have the most impeachable President in American history, getting worse by the day.Ralph NaderIf the founding fathers came back to life today, would any of them oppose the impeachment, conviction, and removal of office of Donald J. Trump, who talks about being a monarch? That's what they fought King George over. Of course, they would all support it.Ralph NaderWhat we have in these cards and in our stories at the Washington Post here are examples of the ways we know, the ways that scientists have uncovered how plants and animals help us. But we don't know what we don't know. There are likely numerous other ways that plants and animals are protecting human well-being that we don't know and we may very well never know if some of these species go extinct.Dino GrandoniI'm always eager to find these connections between human well-being and the well-being of nature and try to describe them in ways that are compelling to readers that get them to care about protecting nature. And also finding those instances (because I want to be objective here) of when human well-being and the well-being of nature might be in conflict, and that might involve some tough decisions that we as a society or policymakers have to make.Dino GrandoniNews 1/16/25* Our top two stories this week concern corporate wrongdoing. First, Business Insider reports that the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection has released a new report which estimates Uber Eats and DoorDash, by altering their tipping processes in the city – moving tipping prompts to less prominent locations after checkout so upfront delivery costs would appear lower – have deprived gig delivery workers of $550 million since December 2023. As this piece notes, that was the month that New York City's minimum pay law for delivery workers took effect. As a result, “The average tip for delivery workers on the apps dropped 75%...from $3.66 to $0.93, one week after the apps made the changes…The figure has since declined to $0.76 per delivery.” This report presages a new city law that “requires the apps to offer customers the option to tip before or during checkout. Both Uber and DoorDash have sued the City over the law, which is set to take effect on January 26.” Whether the administration will stick to their guns on this issue, in the face of corporate pressure, will be a major early test for Mayor Zohran Mamdani.* Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports UnitedHealth Group “deployed aggressive tactics to collect payment-boosting diagnoses for its Medicare Advantage members.” As the Journal explains, “In Medicare Advantage, the federal government pays insurers a lump sum to oversee medical benefits for seniors and disabled people. The government pays extra for patients with certain costly medical conditions, a process called risk adjustment.” A new report from the Senate Judiciary Committee found that UnitedHealth had “turned risk adjustment into a business,” thereby exploiting Medicare Advantage and systematically and fraudulently overbilling the federal government. Due to its structure, advocates like Ralph Nader have long warned that Medicare Advantage is ripe for waste fraud and abuse, in addition to being an inferior program for seniors compared to traditional Medicare. This report supports the accuracy of these warnings. Yet, Dr. Mehmet Oz Trump's appointee to head the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, is a longtime proselytizer for Medicare Advantage and this setback is unlikely to make him reverse course, no matter the cost to patients or taxpayers.* Yet, even as these instances of corporate criminal lawlessness pile up, the Trump administration is all but abolishing the police on the corporate crime beat. In a new report, Rick Claypool, corporate crime research director at Public Citizen, documents how the administration has “canceled or halted a total of 159 enforcement actions against 166 corporations.” This amounts to corporations avoiding payments totaling $3.1 billion in penalties for misconduct. This report further documents how these corporations have ingratiated themselves with Trump, via donations to his inauguration or ballroom project, or more typical revolving door or lobbying arrangements. As Claypool himself puts it, “The ‘law enforcement' claims the White House uses as a pretext for authoritarian anti-immigrant crackdowns, city occupations, and imperial resource seizures abroad lose all credibility when cast against the lawlessness Trump allows for the pursuit of corporate profits.”* In another instance of a Trump administration giveaway to corporations, the New York Times reports the Environmental Protection Agency will “Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution.” Under the new regulatory regime, the EPA will “estimate only the costs to businesses of complying with the rules.” The Times explains that different administrations have balanced these competing interests differently, always faced with the morbid dilemma of how much, in a dollar amount, to value human life; but “until now, no administration has counted it as zero.”* Moving to Congress, the big news from the Legislative Branch this week has to do with Bill and Hillary Clinton. NPR reports Congressman James Comer, Chair of the House Oversight Committee, issued subpoenas to the former president and former Secretary of State to testify in a committee hearing related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter published earlier this week, the Clintons formally rejected the subpoenas, calling them “legally invalid.” The Clintons' refusal to appear tees up an opportunity for Congress to exercise its contempt power and force the couple to testify. Democrats on the Oversight Committee, who agreed to issue the subpoenas as part of a larger list, have noted that “most of the other people have not been forced to testify,” indicating that this is a political stunt rather than an earnest effort. That said, there is little doubt that, at least, former President Clinton knows more about the Epstein affair than he has stated publicly thus far and there is a good chance Congress will vote through a contempt resolution and force him to testify.* In the Senate, Elizabeth Warren, Chris Murphy and other liberal Senators are “urging their Democratic colleagues to pivot to economic populism by ‘confronting' corporate power and billionaires, warning that just talking about affordability alone won't move swing voters who backed President Trump in 2024,” per the Hill. Senators Adam Schiff of California and Tina Smith of Minnesota also signed this memo. The Senators cited a recent poll that found Americans “increasingly cannot afford basic goods such as medical care and groceries,” but they also warned that “Bland policy proposals — without a narrative explaining who is getting screwed and who is doing the screwing – will not work.” Hopefully this forceful urging by fellow Senators will move the needle within the Democratic caucus in the upper house. Nothing else seems to have driven the point home.* One candidate who seems to understand this message is Graham Platner of Maine. Platner, who is endorsed by Bernie Sanders, has a controversial past that includes a career in the Marines and a stint working for the private military contractor Blackwater. However, he is running as a staunch economic populist and New Deal style progressive Democrat – and the message appears to be working. According to Zeteo, a poll conducted in mid-December found Platner up by 15 points in the primary over his opponent, current Governor Janet Mills. More concerning is the fact that this same poll shows both Platner and Mills in a dead heat with incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins, indicating this could be a brutal, protracted and expensive campaign.* On the other end of the spectrum, Axios reported this week that former Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, who once led the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and then served as President Biden's ambassador to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, has accepted a role as CEO and president of the Coalition for Prediction Markets. The coalition is essentially a trade association for betting websites; members include Kalshi, Crypto.com Robinhood and Coinbase, among others. The coalition will leverage Maloney's influence with Democrats, along with former Republican Congressman Patrick McHenry's influence across the aisle, to lobby for favorable regulation for their industry.* Turning to foreign affairs, prosecutors in South Korea have announced that they are seeking the death penalty for former President Yoon Suk-Yeol on “charges of masterminding an insurrection over his brief imposition of martial law in December 2024,” per Reuters. In a stunning courtroom revelation, a prosecutor said during closing arguments that “investigators confirmed the existence of a scheme allegedly directed by Yoon and his former defence minister, Kim Yong-hyun, dating back to October 2023 designed to keep Yoon in power.” The prosecutor added that “The defendant has not sincerely regretted the crime... or apologised properly to the people.” As this piece notes, South Korea has not carried out a death sentence in nearly three decades. Even still, it is remarkable to see how this case has unfolded compared to the reaction of the American judicial system to Donald Trump's attempted self-coup on January 6th, 2021.* Finally, turning to Latin America, many expected the fall of Nicolás Maduro to mean a redoubled energy crisis for the long-embargoed island nation of Cuba. Yet, the Financial Times reports that in fact, “Mexico overtook Venezuela to become Cuba's top oil supplier in 2025…helping the island weather a sharp drop in Venezuelan crude shipments.” CBS adds that “Despite President Trump's social media pronouncement…that ‘there will be no more oil or money going to Cuba — zero,' the current U.S. policy is to allow Mexico to continue to provide oil to the island, according to Energy Secretary Chris Wright.” For the time being, the administration seems open to maintaining this status quo – including maintaining cordial relations with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum – though this appears more strained than ever. Sheinbaum harshly criticized the kidnapping of Maduro, stating “unilateral action and invasion cannot be the basis for international relations in the 21st century,” while Republican Congressman Carlos Gimenez has threatened that there could be “serious consequences for trade between our countries” if Sheinbaum “continues to undermine US policy by sending oil to the murderous dictatorship in Cuba.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

From the BBC World Service: "It's like I'm standing inside a cloud of dust and smoke," says BBC correspondent Devina Gupta of air quality in India's capital. Residents there have been urged to stay indoors, and new restrictions are affecting worker productivity and costing businesses. Then, a Hong Kong court has found media tycoon Jimmy Lai guilty of sedition. And later, retailers in the U.S. are hiring a record low number of seasonal employees.
