Fatty Liver, GLP-1s, Alcohol, Hormones, Brain Fog, Weight Gain & Longevity Host Dave Asprey sits down with Siggi Clavien, Founder and CEO of The Liver Clinic and de-liver-ance, to explore why the liver may be one of the most overlooked organs in metabolism, hormone health, detoxification, brain function, weight management, and longevity. Siggi explains why fatty liver can develop without obvious symptoms and why someone can appear lean and healthy while still have significant liver fat. Drawing on thousands of liver scans, he shares what his team has observed in people whose blood markers appeared normal despite signs of fatty liver on imaging, and explains how tools such as FibroScan can reveal liver fat, stiffness, and fibrosis. Dave and Siggi go deep into triglycerides, cholesterol, insulin resistance, brain fog, weight gain, bile production, thyroid hormone activation, testosterone, estrogen metabolism, and liver regeneration. They also explore how alcohol, environmental chemicals, plastics, processed foods, artificial sweeteners, medications, and other exposures may place additional stress on the liver. The conversation also tackles rapid weight loss and GLP-1 medications, including Siggi's concerns about compounds released from fat tissue during aggressive weight loss and why protecting muscle, eating enough protein, and supporting liver function may matter during the process. Dave and Siggi also discuss alcohol, estrogen, hormone replacement therapy, glutathione, choline, bile flow, supplement quality, and why liver health may influence systems throughout the body. The episode takes an unexpected turn into microchimerism and organ transplantation, including donor cells, DNA, cellular memory, and reported changes in behavior or personality after transplantation. This is essential listening for anyone interested in fatty liver, metabolic health, GLP-1s, weight loss, hormone health, estrogen, testosterone, thyroid function, alcohol, brain fog, insulin resistance, liver scans, longevity, choline, glutathione, bile flow, and biohacking. You'll Learn: Why fatty liver can develop even in people who are thin or rarely drink alcohol Why normal bloodwork may not always reveal what is happening inside the liver How liver health connects to metabolism, brain fog, weight gain, hormones, and thyroid function What rapid weight loss and GLP-1 use may mean for liver function How alcohol, estrogen, HRT, bile, choline, and glutathione interact with liver health Why liver scans, nutrition, and supplement quality may matter for long-term health Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind.

In 2014, Raymond “R.C.” Horsch published a book called Empathy: The Memoir of an Empathetic Serial Killer. He described strangling a woman named “Krista,” driving to an industrial supplier off Packer Avenue, buying a drum of sodium hydroxide, and using forty pounds of lye to dissolve her in a basement bathtub. He said it was fiction.R.C. died in May 2025. He was eighty-two. Never charged with a violent crime. His son Eugene—born in New Zealand while R.C. was a fugitive living under a stolen identity—inherited the house at 417 West Chew Avenue in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood.On June 19, 2026, a park ranger pulled Eugene over at Independence Mall. Inside the car: two guns with obliterated serial numbers, a fake DEA badge with Eugene's face, and a woman carrying the ID of Blair Tonzelli, missing since 2023. The search that followed uncovered a basement with a 55-gallon drum connected to water lines, containers of chemicals, and more than a million digital files across fifty hard drives.Police say the footage shows women who appear to be dead—and the man on camera is R.C. Seven women are linked to the house. Five are believed dead. No bodies have been found.R.C. Horsch was a National Merit Scholar, a counterfeiter, a meth cook, a fugitive, and a filmmaker who recruited women from Kensington with cash and drugs. A 1985 federal psych eval diagnosed him with paranoid personality disorder and called him “consumed by anger.” His ex-wife vanished from the house in 2016. A missing woman's photo sat on his own website for years. None of that opened the front door. A parking violation did.Eugene is in federal custody on gun and credential charges. He has not been charged with harming anyone.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In Episode 220, Doug sits down with Troy Flower, founder and CEO of Well Team, to explore how modern comfort is slowly destroying human vitality. Troy shares his wildly diverse career journey and the deep personal traumas including a father's suicide attempt and a father-in-law's passing that drove him to create a practical, science-backed wellbeing platform tailored specifically for men. This episode unpacks why the human body is an evolutionary survival machine that is currently trapped in a sedentary, hyper-comfortable world. Troy breaks down the critical difference between toxic, long-term cortisol and "eustress" (challenge stress), explaining how intentional discomfort like ice baths and using your non-dominant hand can rewire the brain's neuroplasticity and trigger massive dopamine releases. Doug and Troy also discuss the physiological dangers of ultra-processed liquids and energy drinks, highlighting how fast they absorb into the bloodstream and short-circuit the body's natural electrical and energetic systems.

Send us Fan MailIn 2008, fish veterinarian and Adjunct Professor Professor Matt Landos was hired to investigate a series of chilling occurrences at a fish hatchery in Noosa. In one incident, hundreds of thousands of fish larvae hatched with two heads, and died within 48 hours. And that was only the start.In this episode we sit down with Professor Landos to unpack the case that pushed him into becoming a vocal advocate for stronger pesticide regulation in Australia. What starts as an investigation into mysterious fish health problems quickly turns into a revelation of how chemical exposure can move through water, air, food webs, and even into our bodies.Thumbnail Image: Two headed bass embryo, by G.

Does Parkinson's disease actually start in the gut? In this episode, I am joined by Martha Carlin, founder of The BioCollective and BiotiQuest (https://biotiquest.com/), to explore the powerful "hidden link" between the microbiome and Parkinson's. From the discovery of "concrete-like" stool in Parkinson's patients to the role of chronic inflammation and endotoxins, we dive deep into how our digestive health influences brain function. Martha shares her personal journey of seeking answers for her husband's young-onset diagnosis, leading to groundbreaking research on the "gut glycocalyx" and molecules like mannitol. In this episode (watch on YouTube) you'll learn: -Why the "gut-brain axis" is central to understanding Parkinson's progression. -The impact of environmental toxins, antibiotics, and cleaning compounds on our microbes. -How certain bacterial strains can help manage symptoms like severe constipation and anxiety. -The potential of systems-based approaches, including supplementation and lifestyle changes. Parkinson's is a whole-body condition. By looking beyond dopamine and focusing on metabolic health, we can discover new ways to empower our daily lives and maintain our sense of adventure.

Send us Fan MailThat “new house smell” might not be a reward for upgrading. It can be a warning sign that your indoor air quality is taking a hit from the exact materials that make modern construction fast and profitable. We start with the ground truth of smart building decisions: knowing what the land was used for before construction, and why Phase One environmental reports matter. But even when the site history looks clean, people can move in and start feeling sick within months and that is where the real detective work begins.We break down the most common new construction culprits we see again and again: off-gassing VOCs, formaldehyde, fiberglass insulation odors, and the chemical load that can come from foam products, flooring, paints, stains, varnishes, and engineered wood. We also talk about why a brand new mattress can be a surprisingly intense exposure source when it heats up all night, plus simple ways to reduce risk like airing out materials and making more natural choices where you can.Then we get blunt about moisture and mold. New builds often involve wet lumber, humid basements, and rushed timelines. If you already have a mold issue, blasting a basement with a power washer is basically watering the problem. We explain what to do instead, including drying strategy, air movers plus a dehumidifier, and why “code approved” is not the same thing as healthy. If you want a clearer plan for evaluating a new home, protecting your family, and pushing back when someone says “that's normal,” hit play, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review with your biggest question about indoor air quality.Support the showTo learn more about Habitation Investigation, the Three-time Winner of the Best Home Inspection Company in the Midwest Plus the Winner of Consumer Choice Award for Columbus Ohio visit Home Inspection Columbus Ohio - Habitation Investigation (homeinspectionsinohio.com) NBC4 news segments: The importance of home inspections, and what to look for | NBC4 WCMH-TVAdvice from experts: Don't skip the home inspection | NBC4 WCMH-TVOSU student's mysterious symptoms end up tied to apartment's air quality | NBC4 WCMH-TVHow to save money by winterizing your home | NBC4 WCMH-TVContinuing Education for Ohio Agents Scheduled classes Continuing Education for Ohio Agents Course listings...

Ask a question hereThis week on Thursdays with Wayne and Steve, Wayne climbs back onto his favorite soapbox: your skimmer is not a chemical-dispensing system. The guys break down the risks of feeding acid, calcium chloride, chlorine tablets, and other products through the skimmer—and discuss the limited situations where manufacturer directions may call for it.Steve also speaks with Pat from the California Pool Association about liability coverage for residential, commercial, and high-end aquatic facilities. They examine diving boards, slides, expensive equipment, property-damage extensions, revenue audits, and why landing a massive commercial account may require another conversation with your insurance agent.Then, a pool inspection involving five plaster defects exposes a much larger problem: calcium hardness at 750 ppm, corrected alkalinity at 60 ppm, and a service professional who had not tested calcium in more than a year. It is a reminder that clear water, loyal customers, and weekly visits do not prove a pool is being properly managed.Wayne and Steve also discuss:Why chlorine tablets should never be placed in a skimmerSafer ways to introduce powdered chemicalsUsing skimmer socks for cyanuric acidLiability exclusions involving diving boards and slidesCoverage for property you are actively working onInsurance considerations when pursuing large commercial accountsWhy a complete water analysis matters during every inspectionThe importance of periodically testing calcium hardness, CYA, and TDSEducating clients before assumptions become expensive problemsDefining a clear scope of work for commercial facilitiesWhy great pool service also requires communication and hospitalityThe bottom line: follow proper chemical procedures, know exactly what your insurance covers, test before reaching conclusions, and never assume the person who has maintained a pool for years has maintained it correctly.

Episode 231: Shakespeare in noted for the diversity of deaths in the plays and the way that he represents the mechanics of those deaths. My guest for this episode has written a book on this very subject, ‘Death by Shakespeare', who's subtitle ‘Snakebites, Stabbings and Broken Hearts', gives just a hint of that diversity. In the book Kathryn Harkup casts a scientific eye over the varied and creative ways that Shakespeare's characters die and both questions and admires the accuracy of the portrayals of death in the plays and looks at how Shakespeare's audience would have received these events, and much more.Kathryn Harkup is a former chemist turned writer and science communicator. Her interests are in anything gothic, gory and geeky, and preferably all three. She has written several books on the crossover between science, literature and pop culture including The Secret Lives of the Elements, The Secret Lives of Molecules, A is for Arsenic: The Poisons of Agatha Christie, Making the Monster: The Science of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Death by Shakespeare: Snakebites, Stabbings and Broken Hearts, Superspy Science: Science, Death and Tech in the World of James Bond and Vampirology: The Science of Horror's Most Famous Fiend.

This week's Podcast Short looks at a provision in the recent US stopgap spending bill and the overlap of chemicals in Canada's latest data call-in for chemicals.Topping the headlines this week is story from North America managing editor Kelly Franklin, who writes about Congress extending the EPA's TSCA fee authority as part of the continuing resolution to keep the government funded into December, and what that extension means for possible amendments to the chemicals law.In Canada, regulators mandate that companies provide information on 200 chemicals, many of which are under regulatory scrutiny in other jurisdictions like the US and EU.Other top stories discussed include: A federal court in Oregon upholds the state's extended producer responsibility law; California lawmakers approve several chemicals-related bills, covering PFAS in pesticides, bisphenols in receipt paper and more; Industry groups urge the European Commission to reconsider plans to add chemicals like BPA and lilial to the EU Prior Informed Consent Regulation; and The head of hazardous substances at New Zealand's Environmental Protection Authority talks about how the agency plans to improve new chemical reviews.Tune in to hear about our top stories from the last week and then visit Chemical Watch News & Insight to catch all the latest chemicals management news from around the globe.

The headlines of the day by The Indian Express
Rheumatologist and integrative medicine specialist Dr. Aly Cohen has spent 15 years connecting the dots between everyday chemical exposures and chronic disease. In this conversation we get into what's actually in your tap water (and why bottled water isn't better), the foods that support your body's own detox pathways, and why US chemical regulation is decades behind. What I love about Aly's approach is that it's not about perfection. She started this whole journey because her golden retriever got a rare autoimmune diagnosis — and the questions she asked about his environment changed the way she practices medicine. Her book Detoxify lays out a one-swap-a-month strategy that anyone can follow, starting with the product that touches almost everything in your house. If you have an autoimmune condition and you've been told your labs are normal but you still feel terrible, this episode is for you. We talk about self-advocacy with your doctors, where to actually spend your money, and how small changes add up to real results.
Mold in a Porsche. High spots on a fresh ceramic. And the one mistake that keeps detailers from getting real protection on the car.Marshall and Nick pull back the curtain on the kind of problems shop owners and serious enthusiasts run into every day - from dealing with mold remediation in modern vehicles to the exact reason coatings fail when people try to stretch product too far. If you've ever wondered whether you're using enough on the pad, enough on the panel, or enough on the process, this episode is going to hit home fast.Marshall also breaks down the real-world value of giving customers a path, not just a product - from maintenance kits to YouTube guidance to a complete ecosystem that helps shops protect cars and keep customers coming back. Nick adds the practical side of why some jobs should be left to the dealership, why overthinking tools can slow you down, and why “light usage” often just means not enough product on the surface.Then the conversation shifts to the bigger picture: Juice, Sliq , Spray Coat, Stack, and Eco One. What's the difference, when should you use each one, and how do dilution ratios and application style change the result? If you've ever second-guessed whether you're spraying enough, wiping enough, or mixing enough, this one clears it up.Essential listening for detailers, shop owners, and car lovers who want better results, fewer mistakes, and a simpler system that actually works.Chapter timestamps00:00 - Why sitting in a moldy car makes you rethink your whole day01:13 - Enzyme cleaning mold and why masks matter02:11 - Pulling mats, frunk talk, and when to replace instead of save04:25 - Why removing seats on modern cars is an insurance problem05:16 - Old-school flood-and-extract methods versus modern remediation07:56 - Dodge truck jokes and why truck owners get so defensive10:36 - Uno questions and the rule of loading the applicator thick12:19 - Why underapplying coating causes flashing and missed coverage15:54 - Why protection only works if you actually use enough of it17:14 - How Stack, Uno, Trey, and Sparta get used panel by panel19:19 - What a high spot is and why it is mostly just ugly21:39 - Nathan's customer gets a full maintenance path, not just a coating23:34 - Turning YouTube and the Facebook group into a product encyclopedia26:15 - Why shops can cut their cost in half by building kits into every job28:08 - Coating a new Traverse RS and the right order for trim, glass, and paint30:50 - Which detailing lights are worth buying and which ones are overhyped33:40 - Whether glass needs polishing before coating35:24 - How to fix a high spot with VLO, Lux, or a towel method38:56 - Looking back and forward while you coat so you do not miss anything43:46 - Juice versus Slick versus Spray Coat versus Stack48:46 - Why product cost should not make you underapply50:23 - Why Nick does not like using rinseless or waterless on interiors55:10 - Eco One dilution ratios and how the 5-gallon cube works59:05 - Closing thoughts and the value of the HyperClean Specialists group
In the next 90 days, the price of your iPhone is going up. So is your car. So is the wiring in your walls. Not because of inflation. Not because of tariffs. Because a war 7,000 miles away is breaking the system that builds everything. This isn't an oil story. It's a supply chain story. Sulfur stops moving. Chemicals get rationed. Copper and cobalt production slows. And suddenly, the cost of building the modern world starts rising. Most people think the U.S. is protected because it has energy. That's the wrong model. A modern economy doesn't run on oil alone. It runs on thousands of inputs—most of which it doesn't produce anymore. Break one link, and the whole system tightens. That's what you're watching happen now. ⸻ Sources & Attributions Social Media (Editorial / Commentary Use) https://www.linkedin.com/in/merlenye https://x.com/joshuafarahzad https://x.com/MerleNye News / Context United Nations News (Strait of Hormuz disruption reporting) Public Domain Footage U.S. Department of Defense via DVIDS https://www.dvidshub.net/video/997733/us-forces-launch-operation-epic-fury https://www.dvidshub.net/video/998719/operation-epic-fury-we-control-skies Stock Media Adobe Stock Alamy Music Artlist (Licensed) https://artlist.io ⸻ Disclaimer The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense visual information does not imply or constitute DoD endorsement. ⸻ Chapters 0:00 Prices are about to move 1:11 Why Hormuz actually matters 3:34 The system most people don't see 5:09 Chemicals to metals to everything 7:03 The cascade 8:07 The energy myth 13:51 A different industrial model 17:02 Proto Town 19:22 Hard assets vs markets 20:34 The shift to scarcity Learn to invest alongside the top minds in commodities.

Clothing is one of the most overlooked sources of chemical exposure in modern life, and it sits on our skin all day, every day, literally from birth until death.In this episode, we're talking with Hannah Dunning, The Clean Clothing Chick, about what no one is regulating, no one is disclosing, and very few are questioning: the chemicals in our clothes and textiles. Many of these chemicals are believed to act like estrogen in the body, binding to receptors and interfering with normal signaling. And no, your skin isn't the impenetrable barrier you may think it is. We also discuss why washing clothes may reduce exposure to some chemicals while potentially increasing exposure to others, as they get broken down.We wanted to have this conversation both to learn and to raise awareness. The cumulative chemical exposure we face today is unlike anything previous generations experienced, and clothing may be a larger contributor than most people realize. Most of us care about keeping chemicals out of our food; it's time to have a conversation about our clothes.In this episode, you'll learn about certifications that may help consumers make more informed choices, including the difference between labels like “made with organic cotton” and more rigorous textile standards, as well as practical steps you can take to reduce exposure for yourself and your family.The Clean Clothing ChickHannah's petitionHannah on InstagramSend us Fan Mail Support the showAccess our workshops: Have a Physiologic Birth in the Hospital and Ultrasound: The Research vs RhetoricNeeded

Pool chemicals do not wait for a “big mistake” to hurt you. Most injuries and long-term health problems come from tiny shortcuts repeated every day: bare hands on trichlor residue, a loose muriatic acid cap in the truck, or a quick DE recharge with no mask because you are trying to move fast. We share the safety habits we rely on in the field, including why gloves that actually resist pool chemicals matter, how we think about eye protection without going overboard, and what to do when routine starts making you careless.We also get specific about common products pool service techs touch constantly. Trichlor tablets can leave potent residue that chews through the wrong gloves. Muriatic acid can splash from one small transport error, so we break down smarter storage in cases, why loose bottles are asking for leaks, and what immediate rinsing should look like. Then we zoom out to chemical compatibility and transportation, including why acid and chlorine should never share a case and how a rear-end collision can turn poor separation into a toxic problem.Some of the biggest risks are the ones people shrug off. Diatomaceous earth (DE) dust is an inhalation hazard tied to silica exposure, so we talk masks, low-dust DE, and alternatives like perlite. Even test kits are not automatically “safe” just because the bottles are small. We cover OTO reagent hazards and why checking the Safety Data Sheet (SDS or MSDS) helps you make better decisions for your health and your business. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a pool pro who needs it, and leave a review so more techs find practical pool chemical safety guidance.We walk through the real-world risks pool pros face when handling common pool chemicals and how simple protective habits prevent burns, splashes, and long-term exposure. We also spotlight overlooked hazards like DE dust and OTO test reagents, then share practical ways to store, transport, and use chemicals more safely. • wearing nitro-coated gloves to prevent chemical burns and skin exposure • understanding why trichlor tablet residue can be especially harsh • preventing muriatic acid splashes with better storage and cap checks • protecting eyes with consistent eyewear and safer handling routines • separating acid from chlorine during transport and storage to avoid toxic reactions • treating DE powder as an inhalation hazard and using masks plus low-dust options • reading SDS sheets to understand hidden risks in everyday products • reconsidering OTO-based test kits and handling reagents with more care Join the Pool Guy Coaching Program.

A century-old tech company just took a gut punch from Wall Street. A century-old oil giant hasn't had an exciting headline in years. Ten years from now, which one do you actually want to own?In this episode, Greg takes the long view on two very different dividend payers. The first is IBM ($IBM), a stock that ran from the low $200s to a high near $325 over the past year as its quantum computing story caught fire. It then dropped back to around $205 after disappointing contract delays spooked the market. Greg walks through why the selloff isn't the end of the story: IBM's debt has improved, revenue is growing again after years of stagnation, and at roughly 17 times earnings, he argues investors are no longer paying for the quantum computing option.The second is Chevron ($CVX), a stock with none of IBM's drama and, in Greg's view, almost all of the certainty. Diversified across exploration, refining, and chemicals, with a dividend track record that held even when oil prices went negative in 2020, Chevron represents a different kind of long-term bet. It's not a call option on a breakthrough, but a compounding cash flow machine that is also a quiet beneficiary of AI.Two very different companies, one shared idea: real wealth is built by holding through the boring years, not by chasing the exciting ones.TOPICS COVERED[00:41] Introduction: Two Long-Term Stories, Two Different Bets [03:04] IBM ($IBM): From Story Stock to Speed Bump [04:47] Inside IBM's Business: Software, Consulting, and Red Hat [08:41] The Quantum Computing Bet Behind the Stock [13:44] IBM's 10-Year Dividend Growth Math [16:24] Chevron ($CVX): The Cash Flow Machine [18:17] Chevron's Dividend Track Record and Financial Strength [20:40] Diversification: Upstream, Downstream, and Chemicals [21:15] Chevron as a Natural Gas and AI Play [23:49] Why Chevron Over Exxon ($XOM)?

Fertility Friday Radio | Fertility Awareness for Pregnancy and Hormone-free birth control
In this episode, Lisa breaks down findings from a recent review paper on how endocrine disrupting chemicals like BPA, phthalates, PFAS, and PCBs may be linked to menstrual cycle changes, hormone levels, and fertility outcomes. She explores why female fertility remains understudied compared to male fertility, what the research shows about chemical exposure and subfertility, and why swapping to "BPA-free" products isn't the fix it's marketed to be. Lisa offers a practical, non-alarmist approach to reducing chemical exposure over time — useful both for individuals trying to conceive and for practitioners supporting fertility clients.

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.

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.

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 decline curve, it turns out, is negotiable, and ages 35 to 45 are the highest-leverage window. But she also makes the case that the door never closes.

99% of chemicals in our food right now were added without FDA approval. Many were added in secret, through a sneaky loophole built into the 1958 Food Additives Amendment.It was supposed to require FDA approval for new additives. But food companies and chemical makers found a workaround. 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.
