This week, Tee is joined by Cindy Anderson, the founder of Manny's Choice, the company behind The Good Gluten®. After surviving breast cancer and struggling with severe gluten intolerance, Cindy discovered she could enjoy food again when using clean, European Flour. Inspired by that experience, she created Manny's Choice to help others enjoy real food without the discomfort often associated with modern wheat products. Her mission is to challenge the conversation around gluten and explore how processing, additives, and food quality may be impacting gut health and overall wellness.  In this conversation, Cindy explains the key differences between European and North American wheat, from farming practices and milling methods to food regulations and ingredient standards. She discusses how modern agricultural practices, food processing, and chemical additives may contribute to digestive discomfort, inflammation, and food sensitivities that many people mistakenly attribute solely to gluten. Cindy also shares why so many travelers find they can comfortably enjoy bread and pasta while visiting Europe, and why she believes nutrient-dense heritage wheat deserves a closer look. The discussion also explores practical ways to reduce your exposure to unnecessary food additives by reading ingredient labels, choosing minimally processed foods, and making small, sustainable changes in your kitchen. Tee and Cindy discuss why clean ingredients matter for the entire family, the importance of supporting gut health, and how simple pantry swaps can make healthy eating both convenient and enjoyable. Whether you're living with gluten sensitivity, curious about food quality, or simply looking to make healthier choices, this episode offers an eye-opening perspective on one of the most common foods in our diet.

Beacon City Administrator Sworn In Hat Works redevelopment Cable franchise Historic district

Also, updates on creekside zoning, cable franchises Ben Swanson was sworn in on Monday (July 6) by Mayor Lee Kyriacou as Beacon's city administrator, completing a seven-month ascension that included a few unexpected steps along the way. After being named the city's first deputy administrator in December, Swanson, 32, learned three months later he would become interim administrator following the retirement of Chris White, planned for June. Three weeks later, on April 6, the council voted to name Swanson the administrator (removing the interim designation) when White retired. White took a leave of absence in mid-April and did not return, speeding up the transition. Monday's swearing-in finally made everything official. Swanson was hired in 2021 as assistant to the mayor. As city administrator, he will manage Beacon's day-to-day operations and oversee a workforce of about 130 employees. The city intends to hire a deputy to assist Swanson and has received 85 applications. The council was briefed Monday on a proposal to develop 555 South Ave., an 11-acre former industrial site on the banks of Fishkill Creek. The property was the home of the Tioronda Hat Works Factory from 1878 to 1919. According to the state Department of Environmental Conservation, "hat works-related activities" continued until at least 1946, after which the Atlas Fiber Co., Chemical Rubber Products Inc. and BASF Colors and Chemicals occupied the eight-building site. It has been vacant since 1995 and was sold in 2016 to Rodney Weber, a developer who owns the Edgewater complex and several properties on Creek Drive, among others in Beacon. The Hat Factory property was contaminated by at least a dozen chemicals "of concern" but has been remediated through the DEC's Brownfield Cleanup Program. The agency said the site is suitable for "restricted-residential" uses such as multi-family housing, condominiums and apartment buildings, but not single-family homes. On Monday, City Attorney Nick Ward-Willis told the council that Weber intends to submit an application to construct a hotel on the property. Hotels are not allowed in the Fishkill Creek Development District, although bed-and-breakfasts and inns (defined by the city as a hotel with 10 or fewer guest rooms) are permitted. The council could amend the code to allow a hotel, a move Kyriacou said could have positive ripple effects. "We're at the stage now where we want" hotels, he said, noting that changes to creekside zoning regulations would give him "more comfort in saying, 'Let's look at our short-term rentals and start to reduce them.'" If there are alternatives, "we want those short-term rentals to go to long-term apartments," he said. Council Member Paloma Wake said she believes the city should be "looking at this holistically," because hotels are often used as backup sites for emergency housing, which Beacon lacks. The council held a public hearing on Monday on Verizon New York's application for a franchise agreement to provide TV service through its fiber-optic network. The company already provides internet service in the city. The council approved a 10-year renewal of a similar, non-exclusive agreement with Optimum, aka Cablevision of Wappingers Falls, in December. If the Verizon pact is approved, there would be competing cable providers in Beacon for the first time in 40 years, said Pamela Goldstein, a company representative. The agreement would encompass all of Beacon, although Verizon's network only covers about 55 percent of the city. There are no plans to expand, Goldstein said. Federal law allows the city to collect 5 percent of franchisees' gross revenues. In 2024, Optimum paid the city $172,393. One person spoke during the hearing but did not express an opinion on the franchise agreement. The council approved three resolutions Monday regarding the city's historic district. The first added two properties whose owners agreed to the designation: 22 South Ave. and the Elks Lodge at 900 Wolcott Ave. Th...

You spend time reading ingredient labels, buying organic, choosing healthier foods—but what if the biggest threat isn't what's in your food... it's what your food is touching? In this eye-opening Fatal Conveniences episode, Darin uncovers the hidden health risks lurking inside everyday food packaging. From takeout containers and greasy wrappers to microwave-safe plastics and canned food linings, he explains how chemicals like PFAS, BPA, phthalates, and microplastics migrate directly into your meals—especially when heat, fat, and time are involved. Using newly introduced federal legislation, peer-reviewed scientific research, and practical solutions you can implement immediately, Darin reveals why food packaging may be one of the most overlooked sources of toxic exposure in modern life. Most importantly, he shares simple steps you can take today to dramatically reduce your family's exposure without waiting for government regulation. This episode isn't about fear—it's about reclaiming your sovereignty, making informed choices, and recognizing that what touches your food matters just as much as what's inside it. What You'll Learn Why food packaging may be contaminating your meals How PFAS, BPA, and phthalates migrate into hot food Why heat, fat, and time dramatically increase chemical exposure The truth behind "microwave-safe" plastic containers What the new No Toxics in Food Packaging Act proposes How endocrine disruptors interfere with hormones and metabolism Why microplastics and nanoplastics increase during reheating Which plastic recycling codes to eliminate from your kitchen Why grease-resistant paper can be just as problematic as plastic Practical ways to reduce your family's exposure immediately How choosing glass, stainless steel, and ceramic can lower toxic burden Why informed consumers—not regulators—will drive lasting change Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:35 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste 00:02:51 – The fast-food wrapper that changes everything 00:03:54 – Why packaging deserves as much attention as ingredients 00:04:51 – The overlooked Fatal Convenience hiding in plain sight 00:05:13 – Introducing the No Toxics in Food Packaging Act 00:06:10 – Why plastic isn't chemically inert 00:06:52 – BPA, phthalates, PFAS, and food-contact chemicals explained 00:07:49 – How heat, fat, and time pull toxins into your food 00:08:39 – The dangerous assumption that "legal" means "safe" 00:09:41 – Inside the new federal legislation 00:11:01 – The science proving chemical migration is real 00:12:08 – Why hot, fatty foods absorb the most contaminants 00:13:34 – Millions of microplastics released during microwaving 00:14:15 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:16:09 – New research on microwavable containers 00:17:48 – PFAS: the forever chemicals in food packaging 00:18:46 – Fast food consumption and higher PFAS blood levels 00:19:24 – What these chemicals actually do inside the body 00:20:39 – Why carcinogens are still legally used in food-contact materials 00:21:37 – The FDA loophole allowing chemicals into the food supply 00:23:36 – Practical steps to reduce exposure today 00:24:13 – Why you should immediately transfer takeout into glass 00:25:13 – Plastics to eliminate from your kitchen 00:26:17 – Supporting better legislation and voting with your wallet 00:27:51 – Awareness creates freedom and better choices 00:28:58 – The future of safe food packaging 00:29:37 – Final thoughts: reclaiming your health through everyday decisions Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.

Heat, fat, time, and modern packaging create opportunities for chemicals to migrate directly into your meals, but awareness gives you the power to interrupt that process. By choosing glass over plastic, transferring takeout immediately, minimizing processed packaging, and making conscious daily decisions, you reduce toxic exposure while reclaiming sovereignty over your health. Real wellness isn't built through fear—it's built through informed choices repeated every day." Bibliography/Sources: Legislation & Government Sources Food Dive. (2025, September 11).

Firefighters working on the Iron Fire burning down near Eureka may have been exposed to toxic hazards while fighting the fire and cleaning up areas afterwards. In a new letter sent out to crews who were on the fire, state and federal fire officials say it's due to the Eureka Mills Superfund site and surrounding areas. Soil near the historic Eureka Mills/Tintic Mine is heavily polluted with lead and other metals like mercury, arsenic and thallium, so there's an increased risk that fire crews may have been exposed to these toxins. What kind of precautions and measures are in place now to try to protect fire crews? Incident Commander Cliff McClure explains.

In this short podcast episode, Bryan talks about considerations for washing commercial coils and water challenges techs might face. Despite being the topic of debate within the last several years, cleaning coils matters and will affect performance. When washing coils, we use Refrigeration Technologies Viper cleaners (especially Venom Packs) when we actually need cleaners. No matter which cleaner you use (or if you don't), you want some pressure and a high flow rate when rinsing, but keep in mind that some pressure-washers may produce too much pressure and too little flow; the sweet spot is around 300 PSI, and microchannel coils require extra caution.  In terms of commercial maintenance contracts, we often have a lot of coils to wash and may not have adequate water access for the job. We find that the best move is to ask the client to install plumbing infrastructure that allows for better water access. If they refuse, you can increase the labor charge due to extra hose setups, reduced pressure, etc. The client must also be able to provide safe access to the coils; do not write a proposal or carry out a maintenance procedure if techs cannot carry out the work safely.  Strict chemical policies are important, too. Water-first approaches are best; if a water wash is sufficient, use just water and only escalate to chemicals if there is a clear need for a stronger cleaning. If you use chemical cleaners, use the proper dilution ratio; over-concentrated cleaners can damage coils. Chemicals also require more rinsing, and it's more economical to do as little rinsing as possible. Pre-rinsing, adding cleaner from bottom to top, letting the cleaner dwell, and rinsing off is the ideal sequence. If you encounter water challenges on the ground, you can use a ground-based water trailer with a high-output, low-pressure washer attached. If the issue is on the roof, a battery-powered washer can help (like the Dewalt 20V MAX cordless power cleaner); they draw from vessels of water, like 5-gallon jerricans. Remove the casing if you need to (making sure the client pays for that additional labor), and rinse from the inside out.   Learn more about Refrigeration Technologies cleaners at https://www.refrigtech.com/.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

No Sunscreen Ever? Dermatology vs. Circadian Biology – Why One Expert Says Ditch SPF for Good: Sunscreen Part 2 Unknown Death Causers Part 8 | Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode 88 Should you never wear sunscreen again?In this episode, we explore Jason Yun's powerful Substack argument — 'No Sunscreen Ever? Dermatology vs. Circadian Biology.' While mainstream dermatology insists on daily SPF to prevent cancer and aging, circadian health experts like Jason make a compelling case that sunscreen blocks vital sunlight signals our bodies need for vitamin D, melanin production, hormone balance, and mitochondrial health.Show highlightsThe Core Clash: Mainstream dermatology pushes daily sunscreen to prevent skin cancer and photoaging, while circadian biology views sunlight as essential medicine that sunscreen actively blocks.Vitamin D Sabotage: Even SPF 8 blocks 92–95% of vitamin D production; higher SPFs (30/50/75) are even more restrictive — turning one of the sun's biggest health benefits into a non-event.Chemicals in Your Bloodstream: Sunscreen ingredients are absorbed through the skin (the body's largest organ). Circadian Disruption on the Skin: Sunscreen blocks critical light signals to opsins and chromophores in the skin, interfering with POMC processing, hormone signaling (dopamine, alpha-MSH), and the skin's own circadian clocksThe “Solar Callus” Concept: Gradual, properly sequenced sun exposure (sunrise first, then UVA/UVB) allows the body to build natural melanin armorMelanin Is Your Superpower: Far more than cosmetic tanning — melanin acts as a potent antioxidant, mitochondrial protector, and biological sunscreen that modern indoor lifestyles + seed-oil-heavy diets have made us lose.Host's 8+-Year Experiment: Jason Yun stopped using sunscreen after his 2011 honeymoon, built a base tan through consistent exposurePhotoaging Reconsidered: Wrinkles and elastosis aren't solely caused by UV — proper sun exposure (in the right sequence) can actually support collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. Why We're More Sun-Sensitive Today: Modern factors (chronic indoor living, blue light/EMF overload, high omega-6 diets, magnesium deficiency) make skin burn easier. The solution isn't more sunscreen — it's fixing the underlying environment.Sunscreen & Melanoma Paradox: The article highlights research suggesting sunscreen users can have higher melanoma risk, possibly due to longer intentional sun exposure combined with blocked benefits and toxic ingredients.Dermatology Critique: Dermatologists are trained in a system called “Rockefeller medicine” — focused on treating symptoms and creating lifelong patients rather than optimizing the skin as a light-sensing, hormone-producing organ.Broader Systemic Wins from Sunlight: Beyond skin, proper exposure boosts nitric oxide, supports sulfated vitamin D, enhances immunity (cathelicidin), improves mitochondrial function, lengthens telomeres, and strengthens circadian alignment for better sleep, mood, and metabolism.Resources MentionedNewsletter: http://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com/nlPatreon: http://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com/patreonPodcast Support Kofi; http://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com/kofiUnknown Death Causer Podcast on Sunscreen (UDC #2 / Episode 36): http://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com/sunscreenVitamin D episode (Episode 5): http://www.improvementwarriorfitness.com/iwp5Breast cancer & Vitamin D (adolescent exposure): https://aacrjournals.org/cebp/article/16/3/422/260255/Vitamin-D-and-Reduced-Risk-of-Breast-Cancer-A Sunscreen absorption study: "Effect of Sunscreen Application Under Maximal Use Conditions on Plasma Concentration of Sunscreen Active Ingredients" (JAMA randomized clinical trial).

This episode of the Dr. Joe Galati podcast discussed the top 7 strategies to reduce your chance of #cancer.Avoiding tobaccoTobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of cancer. This includes cigarettes, cigars, pipes, vaping, and smokeless products. Chemicals in tobacco damage DNA and cause cancers of the lung, mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, pancreas, and more. Quitting at any age significantly lowers risk, with benefits appearing within weeks.Maintaining a healthy weightExcess body fat increases inflammation and hormone levels linked to at least 13 cancers, including breast, colorectal, endometrial, and kidney. Aim for a BMI between 18.5–24.9 through balanced eating and regular physical activity (at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly).Avoiding risky behaviorThis covers limiting alcohol (no more than one drink daily for women, two for men), practicing safe sex to reduce HPV and HIV transmission, avoiding needle sharing, and steering clear of unnecessary radiation or toxin exposure. These behaviors directly elevate risks for liver, cervical, and other cancers.Getting routine medical careRegular check-ups and age-appropriate screenings (mammograms, colonoscopies, Pap/HPV tests, low-dose CT for lung cancer) enable early detection when treatment is most effective. Discuss family history and personal risk factors with your doctor to create a tailored screening schedule.Maintaining a diet rich in fruits and vegetablesAim for at least five servings daily of colorful produce, whole grains, and legumes. These foods provide fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that help protect cells from damage. Limit processed meats, sugary drinks, and ultra-processed foods, which are linked to higher colorectal and other cancer risks.Protecting your skin against cancerUltraviolet radiation from the sun and tanning beds is the primary cause of melanoma and other skin cancers. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily, wear protective clothing and hats, seek shade during peak hours (10 a.m.–4 p.m.), and avoid indoor tanning. Monthly self-exams and annual dermatologist visits aid early detection.Getting vaccinated against hepatitis B and HPVThe hepatitis B vaccine prevents chronic liver infection that can lead to liver cancer. The HPV vaccine protects against strains responsible for nearly all cervical cancers plus many throat, anal, and genital cancers. Both are most effective when given before exposure, ideally in adolescence or early adulthood.#cancerprevention #cancerrisk #longevity #wellness #vaccination #smoking #vegetables #skincancer #smokingHow To Reach Dr. Joe Galati and his Team:For an on-line consultation or press inquiries, contact Teresa Reyes at 713-794-0700Dr. Galati's Newsletter Sign-UpLiver Specialists of TexasGet a Copy of Dr. Galati's BookDr. Galati on FacebookMessage Dr. Galati and his team Hosted on Acast.

Four chemicals, produced by your brain, serve as a master switch for nearly everything you think, do, and feel. In no small way, they also control our lives. But, all too often, instead of harnessing them to fuel amazing experiences and outcomes, we are controlled by them. Today, we learn how to take back control and harness them for good.Our guide is TJ Power, lead neuroscientist at the DOSE Lab and the author of The DOSE Effect. His research investigates how modern sedentary, digitally saturated lifestyles are reshaping the brain chemicals that govern how we feel, connect, focus, and recover from stress. He has delivered live experiences to over 75,000 people at institutions including Oxford University, Amazon, and the NHS.His DOSE framework centers on four chemicals: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins. These chemicals evolved over hundreds of thousands of years for a very different experience of life. One with more movement, more connection, more sunlight, more sustained effort, and far less of what TJ calls dopamine land, the scroll-and-reward loop that phones have engineered into our days.In this conversation, you will explore:Why dopamine is not the reward chemical you were taught it was, and why the phone has hijacked the system that was supposed to motivate youThe difference between dopamine and oxytocin, and why TJ believes we are pursuing the wrong chemical as a speciesHow 90% of your serotonin is manufactured in your gut, and what ultra-processed food is actually doing to your moodWhy stress evolved to be released through physical movement, and why sitting still with your problems makes them worseThe 20 free behaviors from The DOSE Effect that recalibrate all four chemicals without cost, pills, or a major life overhaulIf you have been wondering why certain things that used to feel easy now feel effortful, this conversation gives you a biological explanation and a practical path forward.You can find Tj at: Website | Instagram | Episode TranscriptNext week, we are sitting down with Dr. Vonda Wright to talk about why most of what you have been told about aging is actually data about people who did nothing.

The research behind this is not fringe. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found microplastics embedded in arterial plaque in over half of 257 surgical patients. Those patients had a 4.5 times higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. A 2025 Nature Medicine study found the average human brain now holds roughly a spoonful of microplastic particles, up 50% in just eight years. In dementia brains, the concentration was ten times higher. In this episode, Ben walks through exactly where exposure comes from, what these plastics are doing to your hormones, your metabolism, your inflammation, and your brain, and the simple five-step protocol you can start today. Key takeaways: A single liter of bottled water contains around 240,000 microplastic particles on average One plastic teabag releases 11.6 billion plastic particles into a single cup of hot water BPA mimics estrogen at receptor sites, disrupting testosterone in men and fertility in women Your body stores these chemicals in fat cells through a pathway called PPAR gamma, creating new fat cells if it runs out of room Glutathione is the master molecule your liver uses to neutralize and eliminate these toxins, and modern life depletes it constantly NAC supplies the cysteine your liver needs to produce glutathione internally The five-step protocol: stop heating plastic, filter your water, eat real food, sweat daily, prioritize fiber and hydration Find All The Ben Azadi Show Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals Learn more about your ad choices.

Send me a messageWhat if your biggest supply chain risk isn't disruption, but the time it takes to decide what to do next?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by Robbert de Looff, Industry Commercial Lead for Chemicals at OMP, to explore why supply chain resilience now depends on more than better forecasting. In a world of energy price spikes, shipping disruption, raw material constraints, sustainability pressures, and geopolitical shocks, visibility is useful, but only if it leads to better, faster decisions.Robbert and I break down why traditional planning cycles can leave companies reacting weeks too late, and why decision-centric planning is becoming so important for supply chain leaders. You'll hear how organisations can move from rigid S&OP rhythms to scenario-based planning, where teams know what data they need, who owns the decision, and when action is genuinely required.You might be surprised to learn that “real-time planning” doesn't mean constantly changing the plan. Sometimes the best real-time decision is not to act. We also explore where AI can help, from surfacing relevant risks to running what-if scenarios, and where humans still need to stay firmly in control: relationships, judgement, and trust.Kismet: one of the sharpest examples is the Rhine running low. Not a cyberattack. Not a system failure. Just water levels quietly deciding whether chemical supply chains can keep moving. Resilience, it turns out, can still be humbled by a river.

And the FDA formally okayed the loophole in the 90s — in the process bringing attention to a loophole to the loophole.The FDA has essentially admitted it doesn't have the capacity to verify the safety of new food chemicals. So they leave it up to food companies and chemical makers to declare their brand new chemicals are safe. These chemicals are used in everything from chocolate and smoked fish, to tea bags, protein drinks, popcorn, and seeds.So, how'd the loophole get there, and what does it tell us about the priority the U.S. places on safety versus speed and innovation? And, how much can one lawyer do about it?Live show tour and book info. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was hosted by Sarah Gonzalez, produced by Sam Yellowhorse Kesler, edited by Jess Jiang, fact checked by Sierra Juarez, and engineered by Robert Rodrguez with help from Kwesi Lee.

In this episode, we discuss… ● How the brain controls reproductive hormones and communicates with the endocrine system.  ● How endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) interfere with brain-hormone communication. ● What EDCs are and how they disrupt normal hormonal signaling. The endocrine system explained through a simple "lock-and-key" hormone model. ● How EDCs can mimic or block natural hormones in the body. ● How EDCs disrupt hormone production, regulation, and overall balance in the body. ● The rise of synthetic chemicals after World War II and links to increasing endocrine and neurological disorders. ● The accidental discovery that BPA leaching from plastic caused reproductive harm in laboratory mice. ● Why endocrine disruption challenged the traditional idea that "the dose makes the poison." ● How chemicals like BPA can affect multiple hormone receptors at very low doses.....and so much more! Dr. Andrea Gore is Professor and Vacek Chair in Pharmacology at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research team is investigating fundamental mechanisms of how environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) perturb the developing brain; sex differences in EDC actions; and transgenerational epigenetic effects. Dr. Gore's research has been funded continuously by the NIH, NSF, and foundations since 1992. She has published 4 books and over 200 scientific papers. She was Editor-in-Chief of Endocrinology from 2013-2017 and was lead author of the Endocrine Society's two Scientific Statements on EDCs, and the Endocrine Society-IPEN Guides to EDCs, most recently in 2024. Dr. Gore is very active in advocacy for, mentorship of, and education of trainees. Over 150 undergraduates, graduate students, and fellows have conducted independent research in her laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Gore feels fortunate to have multiple passions beyond her research in environmental health: playing violin in an orchestra and string quartet; running a turtle and tortoise sanctuary; and her rescue dogs.

We're surrounded by plastics and environmental chemicals every day, but only recently have scientists begun to understand how deeply they may be affecting human health. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Dr. Shanna Swan to explore what the latest science reveals about plastics, fertility, hormone health, and the everyday habits that may be shaping our biology more than we realize. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We Examine: • Why scientists are increasingly concerned about declining sperm counts, fertility, and hormone health • What microplastics, phthalates, BPA, and PFAS actually do inside your body • Why heating food in plastic can dramatically increase exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals • The practical changes that may help you reduce exposure and support long-term health This conversation isn't about fear, rather it's about understanding how everyday exposures shape our health and where small, practical changes can make a meaningful difference.
