Creating a Healthier Home: Indoor Air Purification and Reverse Osmosis Water Safety. Environmental and wellness expert Helen Christoni discusses reducing toxic exposures at home through improved indoor air and water quality. Christoni describes her health crisis—severe osteoporosis at 42 and multiple fractures—which she attributes to chronic artificial fragrance exposure in beauty product development, and how purifying air and water helped her recover and later complete multiple marathons. They discuss indoor air hazards such as VOCs (including formaldehyde), microplastics, wildfire smoke particles, and the importance of using a sealed, high-grade HEPA (down to 0.003 microns) plus substantial carbon filtration, proper room sizing, and filter maintenance; they caution against relying on ionizers or UV add-ons. On water, Christoni urges reverse osmosis to address contaminants including lead, PFAS, pharmaceuticals, and arsenic, noting boiling concentrates pollutants; they also discuss shower filtration for chlorine/chloramines. Resources include airdoctor.com, aquatru.com, isyourairqualitysafe.com, and ismywatersafe.com.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with environmental and wellness expert Helen Christoni.

True compassion is more than well-meaning charity. Here's how faith in action is creating sustainable infrastructure to give millions new life.Clean water is a background feature of modern life that requires no second thought. For most of us, anyway. But there are nearly 700 million people across the world who live day to day without reliable access to safe water. Up to 60% of water infrastructure projects in developing regions eventually fail and are abandoned. Well-meaning organizations install wells, take photographs, and leave, only for a broken pump or missing replacement part to set the community right back to where they started. In this episode of The Walk, Dave LeVan, CEO of Water for Good, sat down with host Dr. John I. Snyder to challenge the quick-fix charity mindset. Moving from corporate success to nonprofit leadership, Dave shares how combining deep faith with innovative, community-driven maintenance models is transforming lives across Africa and Asia, one sustainable well at a time.Find out more at waterforgood.org.

Virginia Szepietowski grew up in the UK outside of London, and now lives in Alabama. She's had a winding path to her current venture, including body building, triathlons, law, and entrepreneurship. She comes from a family of entrepreneurs, who are deeply ambitious, tenacious, and deeply humble. She finds the feeling of a deep safety net from her family, and she pursues her adventures. Outside of tech, she is married to her now co-founder. She is still a competitive body builder, and likes to push herself to the limit.Through a series of life events, Virginia got interested in water treatment. She started discovering the world of wastewater operators, and the fact that they were the last line of defense before toxic wastewater moved into our waterways (rivers and such). Using AI, her and her team started to build a platform for these operators to quickly detect organisms in these water streams.This is the creation story of Nyad AI.SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://nyad.ai/https://www.linkedin.com/in/virginia-szepietowski/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

What does Pennsylvania's 2026 Integrated Water Quality Report reveal about the health of the Commonwealth's rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands, and why should residents care? On this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the state's most important environmental assessments with Jill Whitcomb, Deputy Secretary for Water Programs, and Dustin Shull from the Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Clean Water.Do esports athletes still play for fun, or does competing turn their favorite games into work? On this episode, we explore the balance between passion and competition with Central Pennsylvania esports players Brady Mace and Collin Lehman, along with coach Johnathan Walker of Valhallan Esports Training. They discuss how competitive gamers choose the titles they dedicate themselves to, whether they play the same games outside of competition, and how they keep gaming enjoyable while striving to win at the highest level.

Thanks for listening to The Watershed, a podcast from We Are Water MN. In this episode, we're joined by eight Minnesotans who share a special connection to the Mississippi River: Tim Terrill, Darrin Hoverson, Heidi and Kadence Becker, Lori and Mike Becker, Devin Brown, and Tanáǧidaŋ Tó Wíŋ. 2026 marks 100 years of water quality testing on the Mississippi. Back in 1926, a study revealed severe pollution: only three fish were found in a 42-mile stretch of river between the Twin Cities and Hastings. The findings confirmed what residents already feared: the Mississippi was dead. But that study also sparked a century of collective action to restore and protect this vital waterway.  This year, a growing movement in the Twin Cities called Sacred Water Shared Future is honoring that legacy. Through community gatherings, storytelling, education, and conservation, the campaign celebrates the river's central role in our region while acknowledging its deep history, sacredness, and resilience. The hope is simple and powerful: that 2026 inspires collaboration and shared action and helps set the stage for the next hundred years of healing for the river and all the life it supports.  You can learn more about Sacred Water Shared Future at Sacred Water Shared Future, where you'll also find a full calendar of water‑focused events happening throughout the Twin Cities. The campaign is hosting opportunities for people to connect with the river in meaningful ways, from rafting trips and bike tours to seminars, workshops, concerts, logrolling, crating, and more. Each event offers a chance to celebrate the river, learn from it, and spend time with others who care about its future. You can learn more about We Are Water MN at We Are Water MN - Minnesota Humanities CenterSpecial thank you to Mumble Media, who conducted all the interviews with these community members.

It's Wednesday, July 29th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus India looking to restrict foreign funding of Christian groups India's Parliament is considering a bill to restrict foreign funding of Christian and other faith-based groups.  The measure would allow authorities to seize the assets of such organizations if their registration is canceled. Officials have already canceled the registrations of over 22,000 non-governmental organizations.  Republican Congressman Chris Smith of New Jersey is calling on the Trump administration to address this issue with India. He wrote, “If adopted, the bill would sharply expand the ability of the Indian state to seize the property and assets of groups that receive foreign funding — the vast majority of these being Christian churches and charities, such as hospitals and schools.” According to Open Doors, India is the 12th worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. In John 10:10, Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Japanese island A 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Japan's southern island of Kyushu yesterday.  The quake caused a collapse at a shopping mall, killing several people. Dozens of people are missing or injured. The Fire and Disaster Management Agency advised over 260,000 people to evacuate the area.   Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority reported no issues with nearby nuclear power plants.  Please pray that God would comfort the Japanese families of those who have died and restore those who have been injured. Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as Director of National Intelligence The U.S. Senate voted on July 28 to confirm Jay Clayton, who was nominated by President Donald Trump to be the next Director of National Intelligence, reports The Epoch Times. Clayton's confirmation by the Senate came after the Senate Intelligence Committee voted 9–8 along party lines on July 21 to advance his nomination. He was ultimately confirmed with 51 senators' support to 47 voting against. SENATOR: “On this vote, the yeas are 51, the nays are 47, and the nomination is confirmed. And the president will be immediately notified of the Senate's action.” Previously, Jay Clayton served as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York as well as the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission under President Trump's first administration. Justice Department affirmed parents' right to disciple children The United States Justice Department issued religious liberty guidance to all executive departments and agencies last week. The memo reaffirmed many religious freedom protections in federal law. It also added a new piece of guidance.  The memo stated, “Parents have the right to direct the religious upbringing and education of their children. This right extends beyond a mere right to teach religion in the confines of one's home and encompasses the choices parents make for their children outside the home.” In Deuteronomy 6:6-7, God said, “These words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” Drinking water in three cities contained Abortion Kill Pill A new peer-reviewed study found that the drinking water in multiple cities contained the Abortion Kill Pill called Mifepristone. Those cities include Austin, Texas; Blacksburg, Virginia; and Carbondale, Illinois. For years, pro-life groups have been calling on the Environmental Protection Agency to track Mifepristone.  Kristan Hawkins with Students for Life of America stated, “A study inspired by [our] clean water advocacy shows that our concerns are valid. In three cities where water was tested, the active metabolites of Mifepristone, the Chemical Abortion Pill, were in the water. We need the EPA to nationalize this examination, especially in light of so many struggling with infertility.” About 700,000 chemical abortions each year send long-lasting abortion drugs and human remains into America's wastewater systems. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, thus starving the baby. This drug has long-lasting metabolites that remain in the water because the water treatment plants are generally not capable of filtering out these chemicals. GOP Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois has introduced the Clean Water for All Life Act. Appearing on EWTN, Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life, said this. HAWKINS: “Mothers are taking these pills at home, in their dormitories, and when they are told when the cramping gets too severe to go on the toilet and to keep flushing and not to look -- meaning chemically tainted placenta and blood, as well as the human remains of our child, are being flushed in our waterways. And when you think about the fact that you're talking over 700,000 abortions a year are happening this way, this means, at a minimum, 50 tons of chemically-tainted blood and placenta are being flushed down our toilets with human remains every year, laced with anti-progesterone metabolites, which, shockingly, after they pass through the mother's body, starve the child and kill the child, do not go inactive. “They actually remain active as they pass through our water system. And is what we've tested across the country is that this water -- it's actually laced with these metabolites before they get to the wastewater treatment plant, after it passes through the wastewater treatment plant, and now we've proven it's actually in the tap water.” Through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com, you can send faxes to Congress and demand they take action to stop this public health threat. Or you can contact your two U.S. Senators and your U.S. Congressman by email, phone or letter to the district office nearest you.  (Because mail sent to the D.C. offices of U.S. Senators and U.S. Congressmen has to go through so many scans, it can take months to get there). Voters want political candidates to address the economy The U.S. midterm elections are coming up in November.  Pew Research surveyed voters on what issues they want candidates to address. The top issue was the economy. Voters are especially concerned about affordability and the cost of living. Americans are evenly divided over which party they agree with on economic policies.  If the election were held today, 43 percent of respondents said they would back a Democrat candidate for Congress. Meanwhile, 37 percent said they would back a Republican.  Younger churchgoers want more liturgy in worship service Lifeway Research released a survey on liturgy in worship services at Protestant churches. Liturgies can include elements like set prayers, readings, and formal patterns. Forty-two percent of churchgoers say their church has some of the liturgical style. Twenty-seven percent say they have no liturgical style. And 24 percent say they have a very liturgical style. Seventy-five percent of respondents said they are satisfied with the amount of liturgy at their church. Thirteen percent want more liturgy, while five percent want less. Surprisingly, younger generations are more likely to want their church to include more liturgy.  California lifeguard saved 10-year-old boy NBC Bay Area reports a lifeguard saved the life of a 10-year-old boy at a California beach this week. Waves were overwhelming the boy at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz. A 16-year-old lifeguard rushed into the water to save him. Other joined in as well.  The dramatic rescue drew the attention of President Donald Trump. He wrote on X, “We're going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it!”  Worldview listeners weigh in from Oregon and North Carolina Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes newscast, Carole Crowley in Damascus, Oregon wrote, “Adam, I love starting my day with The Worldview. I love praying for specific needs of people throughout the world, using God's Word! Thank you so much for your love and dedication to our Lord and bringing the needs of others to us.” Julie Scott in Charlotte, North Carolina, who attached a picture of her addressed letter, said, “Adam, I wanted to show you that, as a result of your July 9th newscast, I wrote a note to Suzanne McCormick, President of the Young Men's Christian Association, objecting to the YMCA allowing men, pretending to be women, in women's bathrooms and locker rooms. In fact, I grabbed several note cards and put stamps and our return address sticker on them so I am poised for action! [You can join her and send a letter: Suzanne McCormick, President, Young Men's Christian Association, 101 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.] “I also phoned the office of my U.S. Congressman and asked him to vote to continue to defund the abortion giant Planned Parenthood.   Thank you for including the link.” Minnesota college student gave $500 to help fund newscast And Maylivia in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, whom I spoke with on the phone last night for 20 minutes, wrote, “Adam, my family and I listen to The Worldview every morning. If I'm around when my dad, also named Adam, is preparing and eating breakfast, we listen to it on repeat about six times, literally. He says he doesn't want to miss any of the details. Now, if he's already gone to work, I listen to it on my computer with the transcript, but only once. My mom and sister also listen as part of starting their day. We love having a concise wrap-up of the news, especially for updates on persecuted Christians. “Considering that my family uses it so much, I've decided to give $500. I am a college student, living at home, working part time. This money is partly from my savings and partly from my tutoring business. I was hesitant to give at first. But God laid it on my heart and reminded me that He can provide for all my needs and my parents are providing many of them for me right now! Thank you for your newscast. May God guide the team in His wisdom and remind you of the hope of the cross.” 19 Worldview listeners gave $7,597 And finally, by Tuesday night at 8:00pm Central, 19 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year.

Elizabeth welcomes Clara Sieg, founder and CEO of Loonen, the water brand behind the beautiful glass bottle that suddenly seems to be everywhere. After spending 15 years in venture capital, Clara began looking more closely at plastics and endocrine disruptors during an IVF journey. When she later became a mom and realized that water was the main ingredient in her daughter's formula, that research became deeply personal and eventually inspired her to create Loonen. In this conversation, Clara breaks down what is happening in the water category, from microplastics and forever chemicals to sourcing, filtration, mineral content, and packaging. She explains why spring water is not automatically cleaner, what to look for when choosing a home filtration system, and how Loonen tests its finished water for more than 350 contaminants before making the results publicly available. Clara also opens up about the brand's rapid expansion, her shift from investor to operator, integrating work and family as a founder and new mom, and why the foundations of wellness can be much simpler than we make them.

There's a federal law that's supposed to protect you from toxic chemicals in your baby bottles, your carpet, your drinking water, and your kid's toys. Most people have never heard of it — and right now, some lawmakers are trying to quietly weaken it. In this episode, Corey sits down with Sarah Vogel, Senior Vice President for Healthy Communities at the Environmental Defense Fund, to break down the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA): how it went from a "dog that never barked" to a bipartisan reform ten years ago, why Black and brown communities carry the heaviest burden of chemical exposure, and what's actually at stake if these protections get rolled back. Sarah also shares real, practical steps you can take at home — no chemistry degree required.This episode is brought to you by Goodfeed. ═══════════════════════════════In this episode:What TSCA is, why it was passed in 1976, and why it barely worked for 40 yearsThe 2016 bipartisan reform that finally gave the EPA real authority to review chemicalsWhy cost can't be part of the "is this safe" conversation — but can factor into "how do we manage the risk"Why Black and brown communities are disproportionately exposed to industrial pollution and toxic waste, and how redlining is directly tied to thatWhat's being proposed right now that could quietly gut these protections againWhy "regulation kills innovation" doesn't hold up — and what strong rules actually do for public health and industrySimple, low-cost things you can do today: testing for lead, skipping fragranced products, avoiding plastic in the microwave, washing your hands after cleaningResources mentioned:Learn more about TSCA: edf.org/tscaCheck your exposure risk by zip code: chemicalactionmap.edf.orgConnect with Sarah Vogel and the Environmental Defense Fund at edf.org.This episode is brought to you by Goodfeed — goodfeed.co. ★ Support this podcast ★

Kurt Avery, founder and president of Sawyer Products, joins Mike Nemer to discuss how Sawyer's lightweight, long-lasting water filtration is used in disaster response and underserved communities. They also explore related global health work, including malaria prevention, and how partnerships and donations help scale impact worldwide. Key takeaways Sawyer's portable filters weigh about 3 ounces and are designed for rapid deployment and long-term use. One duffel bag of filters can support clean water access for roughly 20,000–30,000 people in field deployments. The conversation highlights reported impact of clean water delivered to ~40 million people worldwide through donated and distributed systems. Durability is a core theme: filters can last up to ~15 years, with a cost-per-person estimate as low as ~30 cents for 10 years of service (as discussed in the episode). Beyond filtration, the episode touches malaria prevention efforts and a cited 67% reduction in malaria cases in certain military applications using Sawyer repellents. In this episode How Sawyer's filtration works in practice (deployment, maintenance, and training support) Why eliminating the need to boil water reduces pressure on trees and fossil fuels Scaling through nonprofit partnerships and disaster response organizations What “disease-free water” claims mean in the context of the product's use and testing (as described by the guest) How Sawyer's Foundation model supports distribution in dozens of countries Enjoying the show?Follow The Green Insider wherever you get your podcast, leave a rating and review, and share Episode 326 with a friend who cares about practical, scalable sustainability. #TheGreenInsider #Podcast #Sustainability #CleanWater #WaterFiltration #GlobalHealth #DisasterRelief #HumanitarianAid #MalariaPrevention #ClimateAction #Nonprofit #Impact The post Clean Water at Scale (with Kurt Avery, Sawyer Products) appeared first on eRENEWABLE.

Hi there! Feel free to drop us a text if you enjoy the episode.In this episode of the New England Endurance Podcast, we chat with Marlissa Briggett and Scott Lajoie of the Buzzards Bay Coalition, a nonprofit that works to protect clean water in the region. We explore the connection between endurance sports and environmental stewardship by diving into two of the Coalition's signature endurance events: the Buzzards Bay Swim, a 1.2-mile open water crossing of New Bedford Harbor, and the Watershed Ride, a scenic cycling event featuring distances up to 100 miles around Buzzards Bay.But this episode goes beyond race logistics. Marlissa and Scott explain how water quality, development, sewer overflows, and conservation efforts directly impact the places endurance athletes train and compete. They also share the remarkable story of having to relocate the swim (in 2025) due to unsafe water conditions, and what that moment revealed about the importance of protecting New England's waterways.Along the way, they discuss:The history and mission of the Buzzards Bay CoalitionWhat makes the Buzzards Bay Swim such a unique eventWhy the Watershed Ride has become a favorite among cyclistsThe role volunteers play in long-term water quality monitoringWhy endurance athletes are uniquely connected to environmental advocacyThe beauty and recreation opportunities throughout Buzzards BayThe South Coast AlmanacTheir connection to the Falmouth Road RaceWhether you're a swimmer, cyclist, runner, or simply someone who loves the outdoors in New England, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the environments we often take for granted.Links to register are here:Savebuzzardsbay.org/swimsavebuzzardsbay.org/rideInfo on the Falmouth Road Race is here:Falmouth Road Race - Buzzards Bay CoalitionLearn more:SaveBuzzardsBay.orgThis podcast embarks on a journey to showcase and celebrate the endurance sports community in New England.

Rose Hamilton, CEO of Compass Rose Ventures and co-host of The Story of a Brand Show, sits down with Ben Zvaifler, Founder & CEO of Cloud Water Filters, for a conversation that cuts right to the heart of one of the most overlooked categories in consumer wellness.  Cloud isn't just a better water filter, it's a second-act founder's bet that the water sitting quietly under your kitchen sink is the next major frontier in the modern health-conscious home. * A second-act founder who chose harder, on purpose. After selling Pupbox to Petco, Ben applied everything he learned about recurring revenue and brand trust to tackle a far bigger, more complex problem: a water filtration category that hadn't meaningfully innovated in decades. * "Safe to drink" and "healthy to drink" are not the same thing. From PFAS forever chemicals to lead pipes contaminating water between the treatment plant and your home, Ben breaks down why reverse osmosis is the only technology that truly creates a clean slate. * The black box problem no one was solving. Legacy systems gave consumers zero visibility. Cloud's connected app delivers real-time water quality data, intelligent filter-change alerts, and remote diagnostics — turning a forgotten appliance into a trusted relationship. * Data as a moat. The behavioral and water quality data Cloud captures powers a customer service experience legacy players simply can't replicate — and drives the kind of lifetime retention that makes the unit economics work. * Demand was never the problem — hardware is hard. Chip shortages, tariffs, and capital-intensive inventory have been the real challenge. Ben's candor here is a masterclass in what experienced founders understand that first-timers often don't. Join us in listening to this episode for a genuinely eye-opening conversation about water, wellness, and what it really means to build a modern consumer brand in a category that's been quietly ignored for far too long.  Whether you're a founder, an operator, or someone who just wants to know what's actually in the water your family drinks every day, this one is worth your time.    For more on Cloud Water Filters visit: https://www.cloudwaterfilters.com/ If you enjoyed this episode, please leave The Story of a Brand Show a rating and review.  Plus, don't forget to follow us on Apple and Spotify.  Your support helps us bring you more content like this!
