On this episode of Volts, David Roberts talks with Will Poff-Webster of the Institute for Progress, who put together the new Transit Abundance Playbook, and Stephanie Pollack, former head of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and former acting administrator of the Federal Highway Administration. Their argument is that the costs are a policy choice: federal funding rules teach transit agencies to plan on a napkin and do the real work years later, to hire the lowest bidder over the one they know will deliver, and to defer to anyone holding a veto, while highways operate under looser versions of the same rules. As Pollack puts it, "if you hate transit, you should spend less on it." A surface transportation reauthorization bill is coming, and two of the playbook's proposals have already reached the House version.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: why cars work against cities03:25 Agency culture or federal law: where does the fix come from11:31 Planning: how federal funding enforces bad habits20:10 Overdesign: the Green Line stations and the frequency-first test23:40 Buses: why every agency orders a custom fleet26:53 Procurement: lowest bid versus best value32:56 Veto points and Italy's conference of services39:56 Permitting: environmental review as a NIMBY tool45:28 State capacity: why consultant brain took over51:46 Labor costs, automation, and Section 13(c)56:19 Is any of this politically achievable?1:03:28 Final question: one reform each

On this episode of Volts, David Roberts joins Energy Empire hosts Jigar Shah and Jamie Nolan, along with Arnab Pal of Deploy Action, for a crossover conversation, and his argument is that everyone is solving the wrong problem. The hyperscalers could buy their way to consent for a rounding error, batteries in basements, solar on roofs, funded schools, lower bills, and they refuse, which David reads as a symptom of low social trust that no amount of better modeling touches. “This is not a technocratic problem that you can just solve with a few switches,” he says.

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/marapodcast In this episode, you will hear the origin story of Mara Labs, a company built around sulforaphane, the active compound found in broccoli that has been studied across thousands of papers covering almost every major chronic disease, and why most people are not actually getting it from their broccoli supplements. You will discover why the way your broccoli supplement is made determines whether any of it reaches your cells at all, what dose of the active compound moves the needle on inflammation, detox, and cellular defense, and how a single capsule compares to eating five pounds of adult broccoli a day. You will also hear something that has not been discussed publicly before: a pilot study showing that this same compound can trigger your cells to release microplastics, those synthetic particles now found in human blood, lungs, and breast tissue, and push them out through your digestive system. David Roberts is the co-founder and managing partner of Mara Labs. After his wife Mara was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 and passed away in 2017, David channeled his experience into building a supplement company grounded in clinical science rather than ingredient trends. Dr. John Gildea is Chief Science Officer and co-founder, with a PhD in molecular biology and over 20 years studying the Nrf2 pathway at the University of Virginia. Author of more than 60 peer-reviewed publications, he developed the stabilization method that made shelf-stable sulforaphane possible and has since led research on sulforaphane's effects on microplastics and cancer stem cells.

Sulforaphane, Detox Pathways, and the Science of Microplastic Removal Microplastics are building up inside your brain, blood, and reproductive tissue, and most detox protocols do nothing to remove them.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. John Gildea, a Johns Hopkins-trained PhD with 60 scientific publications and over 20 NIH-funded studies, and David Roberts, co-founder of Mara Labs and co-creator of BrocElite, the only naturally derived stable form of sulforaphane available in a capsule. Together they bring decades of research-backed biohacking and functional medicine insight into one of the most pressing longevity conversations of our time. They break down the lysosome, your cell's built-in incinerator, and explain exactly why it gets clogged with microplastics, advanced glycation end products, and other toxins that won't break down. New research shows that sulforaphane triggers a process called lysosomal surface translocation, which releases those trapped particles so your body can finally excrete them. An in-house Mara Labs study confirmed the excretion pathway: microplastics come out in feces. In the original study, the individual measured the highest microplastic levels ever recorded, and a repeat study a year later showed dramatically lower baseline microplastic levels, suggesting consistent use compounds the benefit over time. You'll Learn: Why microplastics accumulate inside lysosomes and what sulforaphane does to release them How the three detox pathways, glutathione, glucuronidation, and sulfation, work together to remove every major class of toxin What an in-house study revealed about how and where microplastics actually leave the body How toxic estrogen metabolites form and why sulforaphane is the most effective natural tool to reroute them Why berberine supports sleep optimization, ketosis, and blocks a cancer growth pathway most drugs cannot touch How sulforaphane boosts BDNF and neuroplasticity at the cellular level What microplastic sources in your home, including your dryer, rugs, and receipts, are doing to your toxin load daily Why losing weight releases stored toxins and what to take to protect your brain and metabolism during fat loss How sulforaphane activates the same AMPK longevity pathways triggered by fasting without restricting food Thank you to our sponsors! - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - HeartMath | Go to https://www.heartmath.com/dave to save 15% off. - Timeline | Go to timeline.com/dave and you'll get an additional 20% off your first month - Our Place | Stop cooking with toxic cookware and upgrade to Our Place today.

Most people think feeling tired, foggy, inflamed, and “off” is just part of modern life.But what if your body is working overtime behind the scenes trying to protect you from a toxic load your grandparents never had to deal with?In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, I sit down with David Roberts and Dr. John Gildea, founders of Mara Labs, to unpack what modern toxins, chronic inflammation, and microplastics may be doing to your brain, gut, energy, and recovery.David Roberts' interest in this work began after his late wife, Mara, was diagnosed with breast cancer, a deeply personal experience that pushed him to look more closely at the science of cellular protection and detoxification. Dr. John Gildea is a Johns Hopkins-trained PhD and molecular biologist with decades of research experience in oxidative stress, gene expression, and the body's natural defense systems.We talk about what is really happening when your body feels slower to recover, why brain fog may be one of the earliest warning signs that your system is under stress, and how your detox pathways, inflammation levels, and gut barrier all play a role in how sharp or sluggish you feel.In this episode, you'll learn: ☑️ What sulforaphane is and why it matters for brain health, detoxification, and inflammation ☑️ How chronic inflammation differs from the kind your body uses for healing ☑️ Why brain fog may be linked to toxins, mitochondrial strain, and poor cellular cleanup ☑️ What microplastics are, where most exposure comes from, and why they are such a concern ☑️ How modern life may be overwhelming the body's built-in defense systems ☑️ Why detox is not about extreme cleanses but about supporting the pathways your body already uses ☑️ How gut integrity and tight junctions relate to toxic burden ☑️ Simple ways to reduce toxic exposure and support your body more effectivelyIf you've been feeling like your energy is lower, your thinking is less clear, or your body is not recovering the way it used to, this episode will help you understand what may be happening underneath the surface and what you can do to better support your brain and body in a high-stress, high-toxin world.

In this powerful episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed sits down with David Roberts — founder of Mara Labs and creator of BrocElite — for an eye-opening deep dive into one of the most potent natural compounds on the planet: sulforaphane. After losing his wife Mara to breast cancer in 2012, David embarked on a mission rooted in science and personal tragedy. Armed with a Master's in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University (with a focus on epidemiology and international health), he discovered the extraordinary potential of sulforaphane — the active “miracle molecule” found in broccoli sprouts — and why most broccoli supplements on the market fail to deliver its benefits.Whether you're deep into longevity, functional medicine, detox protocols, or simply looking for the most evidence-based way to upgrade your daily health stack, this conversation delivers the “why” and the “how” behind what many experts now call the ultimate superfood compound.Visit www.mara-labs.com and use code: REFOCUSED for a special 25% off all products, including the microplastics bundle.

By the time he left, the firm managed roughly $50B in assets, and David contributed to that growth by helping build and launch several of the firm's businesses.

Why does comparison keep resetting our definition of success? What are the risks of wealth concentration?They discuss inequality, philanthropy, competing views of capitalism's current state, and how greed often shows up as self-justification.

David Roberts and Dr. John Gilday spent years developing Mara Labs after David's wife Mara was diagnosed with breast cancer and they discovered the compound that could help her, sulforaphane from broccoli, didn't exist in stable, absorbable form anywhere. They grew broccoli sprouts for ten families while Dr. Gilday obsessed over stabilizing the molecule. When he finally cracked it, Mara pushed them to share it with the world before she passed away. This episode reveals why most broccoli supplements are essentially worthless, how microplastics are jamming up your cellular detox systems, and why estrogen itself isn't the enemy, but its metabolism might be. You'll learn why berberine outperformed Valium as a sleep aid in studies, how eating late with low insulin production leaves glucose sitting in your blood all night, and why Ozempic's weight loss can be up to 40% muscle. Discover: • The broccoli supplement truth: why 95% of products contain only the precursor molecule that your stomach acid destroys before it can work • The microplastics mechanism: how plastic particles fill up your cellular "drains," blocking the lysosome from clearing waste and creating hormonal noise • The estrogen metabolism shift: why estrogen is protective until it converts to quinones that can make DNA breaks in your genome • The sulforaphane detox pathway: how one compound turns on Nrf2 to activate every cell's built-in detoxification system • The berberine absorption problem: why standard berberine is nearly impossible to dissolve and ends up disrupting your gut microbiome instead of entering your bloodstream • The GLP-1 difference: why natural berberine-induced satiety works without slowing gut motility the way Ozempic does Find Dr. John Gilday & David Roberts: Website: https://mara-labs.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themaralabs  Timestamps: 0:00 - Why most hormonal supplements don't work  1:46 - Hot Seat: Biggest detox mistakes and the NRF2 master switch  3:20 - Is berberine nature's Ozempic?  7:18 - Claire's one-month transformation with sulforaphane  9:21 - How Mara Labs was born from a breast cancer diagnosis  17:00 - Microplastics: the forest fire in your body  24:18 - The estrogen truth: it's not the enemy, the metabolism is  35:04 - Why your matcha works better with sulforaphane  39:17 - Berberine, Ozempic, and fasting in a pill  52:12 - The 40% muscle loss problem with Ozempic (and how to prevent it)

Episode 116: Today I'm sitting down with the founders of MARA Labs, Dr. John Gildea and David Roberts, for a real conversation about inflammation, detox pathways, and metabolic health. They dive into the benefits of sulforaphane (and why it's one of the most researched compounds for cellular health), how berberine actually works in the body, and how their supplement, GLPERFECT compares to Ozempic. We also talk about the rise of Ozempic and GLP-1 medications. They tell us the benefits, the risks, and what most people are missing when they jump straight to medication without understanding their inflammation, blood sugar, or lifestyle first.If you've ever wondered what moves the needle for longevity, detox pathways, metabolic support, or gut health, this episode breaks it down in a way that finally makes sense.Whether you're supplement-curious or navigating the Ozempic conversation yourself, this is a must-listen for anyone who wants real, sustainable health, not shortcuts.Hi Gracie!!
