During this Live, we're going to discuss factors to consider when optimizing your fertility plan, how minimizing plastic use can help improve your pregnancy outcomes, the importance of nutrition in your fertility journey, and so much more.Learn more about Collab Fertility's services: https://www.collabfertility.com/Get tested for BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals with Million Marker's Test Kit: https://www.millionmarker.com/

A mensagem traz discernimento sobre a diferença entre ira justa e pecaminosa, com exemplos bíblicos, como o de Pedro e de Jesus, além de alertar sobre as consequências físicas, emocionais e espirituais da ira reprimida.

On this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, we're joined by Lauren Gropper, Founder and CEO of Repurpose — the compostable household goods brand that's changing the way we think about single-use products. What started with a vision to replace wasteful plastics with plant-based alternatives has grown into a national movement, with Repurpose products now found in over 20,000 retail locations including Target, Costco, Kroger, and Whole Foods. From compostable cups, plates, and cutlery to bamboo paper towels and BPA-free wine cups, Repurpose is proving that sustainability can be simple, stylish, and affordable.In our conversation, Lauren shares how her early career in sustainable design and an eye-opening stint consulting in Hollywood inspired the launch of Repurpose. We talk about what it's like to pioneer a new category, the challenges of educating consumers without overwhelming them, and how she's built a mission-driven brand that has already replaced more than 727 million pieces of plastic. Lauren also opens up about the toughest challenges she's faced as a founder, how she balances leadership with motherhood, and her bold vision for a world free from single-use plastics.Whether you're passionate about sustainability, curious about how to build a mission-driven CPG brand, or just looking for inspiration from a founder who turned an “aha moment” into a movement, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.

I like to work in batches. Pollinator Corridor can be filed under two batches: 1) Forest Park and 2) plein air soundwalks. So Forest Park is self explanatory, but could use some contextualizing, which I'll get into shortly. The plein air soundwalks batch is still taking shape. Basically it's just me recording and sketching. Like I said last time, offering little twist on my Soundwalk formula. One little experiment I did on this particular day was to make some botanical sketches.For being in Forest Park, you might notice on this cover that the view here isn't thickly forested:This is the view looking back up the hill on BPA road, where a swath of forestland was removed long ago to accommodate the high voltage power lines that run up and over the Tualatin Mountains here on the north end of the 5000 acre wooded park. The gravel and dirt lane is maintained for power line inspection and maintenance purposes, while serving dual purpose as a multi-use trail connecting the trails that intersect it. It's a distinct habitat in Forest Park; an edge land where grasses, berries and wildflowers grow, attracting some different animal species than the forest interior. Portland Parks & Rec. calls this a Pollinator Corridor. If you're patient, you'll see and hear these visitors: the migratory Rufous Hummingbird with its little toy motorcycle sound; berry-eating songbirds like the Black-headed Grosbeak; insects like bumble bees, and Western Tiger Swallowtail butterflies; and deer or sometimes elk slowly cracking through downed branches on the perimeter, coming and going. There are few places in Forest Park that open up sufficiently to afford views of the Cascade Mountains to the west. This is one of them: Fireweed, oceanspray, western goldenrod, and Oregon Sunshine also thrive here. Here's a sketch of orange honeysuckle.It's both serene and pulsing with life.For the score, I really leaned into the sound of the Soma Lyre “Organismic Synthesizer”. I'm using a virtual instrument playable by a midi keyboard, but the original inductive pad and knob box hardware is quite fascinating. Many electronic musicians find it unusually emotive and inspiring. I'm also using a virtual instrument that samples the quieter timbres created by manipulating the tone bars of a 60's Hammond organ. I used to own a Hammond M1 organ, and my earliest musical experiments involved playing with the toggle switches and tone bars to add strange texture to my nascent experimental performances. I didn't reach for any Electric Piano for this one. In this way it's crossbred with my Listening Spot ouvre, I suppose.Reaching the end of BPA Road, the hiker is presented with a three way fork. All options are a road less travelled. Two lanes lead out to prominences topped by high voltage electric towers overlooking the Willamette River and the lower Columbia beyond. The other lane plunges down to Hwy 30 below, and is prone to overgrowth. Here's the view from the northernmost point. It's very peaceful place with a meadowy feel, and a nice view of the Multnomah Chanel and the Suavie Island Bridge:Thank you, as always, for joining me here. I hope you enjoy Pollinator Corridor. It's available on all music streaming services today, September 19th, 2025. Also, last week I released another instrumental EP under the pseudonym Sleeping Animal. So if you're in the mood for some impressionistic electric piano-centered music, I've got you covered there too. That one is called Traverse, also available on all music streaming services.

My name is Hector Arreaza, I'm an associate program director and faculty in the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program. Today my co-host is Cameron Carlisle, who is a 4th-year medical student finishing his last rotation of med school. Welcome, Cameron, please introduce yourself.Arreaza: What are we talking about today, Cameron?Cam: Dr. Arreaza, did you know you're probably carrying around a chemical in your body that mimics estrogen? In fact, a 2004 CDC study found over 92% of Americans had detectable levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in their urine. Today's topic is BPA.BPA is everywhere: receipts, water bottles, canned foods, baby bottles, and even our dental fillings. It's one of the most ubiquitous endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), which interferes with the body's hormone systems. That's why today's episode is about making the invisible visible. Our goals for today's podcast:Break down what BPA isShow how it affects the human bodyExplain how you and your patients can limit exposureEmpower both clinicians and the public with real, practical informationArreaza: Thanks for clarifying BPA today. It seems like we always have to learn about a new carcinogen or toxic substance that we are exposed to. I remember when I was a child, Yellow #5 became very concerning for the general public but it is still being used in our foods. So, it's good you are talking about this. What Is BPA?Cam: Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used since the 1950s, primarily in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It makes plastic clear, and is often found in:Water bottlesCanned food liningsBaby bottles (pre-2012)Takeout containersCash register receiptsDental sealantsArreaza: So, I've seen the “BPA-free” labels many times, and today I'm glad you are going to shed some light about it.Cam: What's alarming is that BPA leaches out of these products, especially when exposed to heat, acidity, or repeated use. A Harvard study found that people who drank from plastic bottles for just one week had a 69% increase in urinary BPA levels (Carwile & Michels, 2009).Arreaza: That's a lot of people 69%. Section 3: What happens when BPA gets into our body? How BPA Works in the BodyCam: BPA is classified as an endocrine disruptor, meaning it can bind to estrogen receptors and mimic or block natural hormone functions.It affects:Reproductive systems (both male and female)NeurodevelopmentThyroid signalingPancreatic β-cell functionMetabolism and fat storageEven low-dose exposure can disrupt cellular function. BPA acts as a xenoestrogen (foreign estrogen) and has been shown to alter DNA methylation, leading to epigenetic changes that persist across generations (Manikkam et al., 2013).Arreaza: So, BPA can cause epigenetic changes that can be inherited. BPA can persist for generations in your offspring.BPA's Health Impacts – What the Research SaysHere's where it gets serious. Let's go system-by-system:1. Reproductive HealthFemales: Linked to PCOS, infertility, and early puberty (Peretz et al., 2014).Males: Reduced sperm count and motility; altered testosterone levels.2. Pregnancy and Birth OutcomesIncreased risk of preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and low birth weight (Snijder et al., 2013).Studies show BPA crosses the placenta, directly affecting the fetus.3. Neurological DevelopmentAssociated with ADHD, anxiety, and impaired executive function in children exposed in utero (Mustieles et al., 2015).4. Metabolism and DiabetesBPA exposure is linked to insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, even at low doses (Lang et al., 2008).5. CancerAnimal and human data link BPA to increased risk of breast and prostate cancer via estrogenic mechanisms.6. MortalityA 2020 JAMA study found individuals with higher BPA levels had a 49% increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to those with lower levels (Gao et al., 2020).Arreaza: You are scaring me. I wonder what my BPA level is in my blood. Actually, BPA can be detected in urine. This is the most common approach for population-level biomonitoring, because BPA and its metabolites are mostly excreted in urine. Studies have found that BPA is present in most people, even up to 85–99% in large cohorts. Cam: That's literally everyone. Sources of BPA ExposureLet's talk about things we use every day:Thermal receipts (like from Target or Starbucks): BPA can transfer onto your skin and be absorbed, especially if your hands are wet or lotioned.Canned soups: One study showed that eating canned soup daily for five days led to a 1000% increased urinary BPA levels (Carwile et al., 2011).Plastic water bottles left in the car on hot days or plastic food trays for microwaving = chemical leaching.Baby bottles and pacifiers (pre-2012): primary concern for newborns.Arreaza: So, Cameron, you were exposed to BPA as a baby.Cam: Here's the jaw-dropper: We ingest up to 5 grams of plastic per week, roughly the weight of a credit card (WWF, 2019; University of Newcastle). This includes microplastics like BPA, which enter through food, water, and air.Arreaza: So, it translates into 40 lbs of plastic in a lifetime, by age 70. What can we do as family physicians?Family Medicine and Preventive CareAs family physicians, we are at the frontlines of prevention. Our role includes:Anticipatory guidance: during prenatal visits, well-child visits, and chronic disease managementScreening opportunities: ask about storage habits, microwave use, and receipt handlingEnvironmental health counseling: AAFP recommends addressing endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) when relevant to a patient's concerns.It's not just about treating diabetes or obesity. It's about recognizing that environmental exposure may be a root cause.Arreaza: Prevention is my favorite topic!Cam: One helpful clinical practice:Arreaza: What else can we do to reduce BPA exposure?Practical Steps to Reduce BPAHere's what patients and doctors alike can do today:Switch to BPA-free products, but be careful, as replacements like BPS or BPF may also be harmful (Rochester & Bolden, 2015).Avoid microwaving or dishwashing plastic containers.Use digital receipts.Filter tap water using carbon filters, which can reduce microparticle ingestion.Choose fresh produce over canned goods when possible.Also, wash your hands after handling receipts, especially before eating or touching your face.Arreaza: What is our government doing to protect us?Public Health and Policy UpdatesRegulations are slowly catching up:The FDA banned BPA in baby bottles and sippy cups in 2012.The European Union has stricter limits, and France banned BPA in all food packaging in 2015.California's Proposition 65 requires BPA warning labels.Arreaza: Proposition 65, passed by direct voter initiative in 1986, “WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.”Arreaza: The FDA is planning to phase out petroleum-based food dyes (certified color additives) from the American food supply – marking a significant milestone in the efforts to protect the public. Cam: Many products still contain BPA analogs (BPS, BPF), which are not yet well-regulated.This is where clinician advocacy matters, where we can guide public opinion and support legislative change.Arreaza: So, millions of pounds of toxic substances are produced by many industries in the US. As physicians, we have to stay informed and update our patients.Cameron: How can we wrap up this episode?Conclusion and TakeawaysBPA is a hormone disruptor hiding in plain sight.People are exposed to BPA every day, but small lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce it.Family medicine has a role in education, prevention, and advocacy.Let's all be part of the solution for our health and future generations. Stanley (tumblers) are not sponsoring this episode, and we did not receive any money from them. Arreaza: That's it for today's episode of Rio Bravo qWeek. If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a colleague or medical student who may need to know about BPA. I'm Dr. Arreaza, signing off.Cameron: Hopefully, in the future I will talk to you about more endocrine disrupting chemicals.

Il y a quelques jours, je me suis plongée dans le livre de mon invitée, No More Plastic: comment le plastique ruine notre santé.  Je croyais avoir compris l'enjeu du plastique, sujet que j'avais traité plusieurs fois dans des épisodes de Demain N'attend Pas. Et pourtant… en trois heures de lecture, ma vision a basculé. J'ai levé les yeux du livre, j'ai regardé mon appartement, mes placards… et j'ai pris conscience de l'ampleur des dégâts : nous vivons littéralement dans le plastique.  Ses fonctionnalités extraordinaires (résistance, durabilité, légereté, imperméabilisation, brillance...) en ont fait un matériaux de base pour toutes les industries.  Résultat : le plastique est partout autour de nous. Dans nos bouteilles et nos contenants, dans nos vêtements et nos chaussures, dans nos crèmes, nos vernis et nos shampooings, dans nos produits ménagers, et jusque dans notre nourriture... Partout.  Aujourd'hui, je suis ravie d'accueillir Rosalie Mann, fondatrice de la No More Plastic Foundation, une ONG engagée contre la pollution plastique, et autrice du livre No More Plastic, comment le plastique ruine notre santé publié aux éditions La Plage.Rosalie nous rappelle la réalité des chiffres :
