Water is the most important substance in the human body. So why do most people know almost nothing about it? We're told to drink more water, stay hydrated, and carry a bottle everywhere we go. Yet despite drinking litres every day, many people still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, and dehydrated at a cellular level. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Kaufman to explore why water may be one of the most misunderstood substances in modern health. According to emerging research, water isn't just passive H2O, it may function as an electrical medium inside the body, influencing cellular charge, mitochondrial energy production, communication between systems, and overall vitality. If you've been drinking more water but still don't feel truly energised, recovered, or hydrated, this episode may completely shift your perspective.  

Dr. Deb Muth 00:08What if the toxins in your food and water weren’t just harming our bodies, but rewriting the very code of human health? My guest today, MIT scientist Dr. Stephanie Sineff, has spent over a decade connecting the dots between environmental toxins, metabolic chaos, and neurological decline. You’ll want to hear every word of this conversation. You guys can put our, Serenity ad in here, and then I’ll do the standard intro.Welcome back to Let’s Talk Wellness Now, the show where we uncover the root causes of chronic illness, explore cutting-edge regenerative medicine, and empower you with the tools to heal. I’m Dr. Deb, your medical detective.And today, we’re diving into how environmental toxins and nutritional imbalances are silently shaping chronic disease patterns, from autoimmune disorders to neurodegenerative decline. And how we can take back control of our health. So, as usual, grab your cup of coffee, tea, or whatever helps you unwind, settle in, and let’s get started on your journey to deeper healing. So, Dr. Sunif, so glad to have you here. I can’t wait to have this conversation with you. We were just chatting off-camera a few seconds ago about what we’re going to chat about, but tell us a little bit about your background and how you got into this field of looking at toxins and mitochondria. Seneff 01:50Okay, yeah, my background is a bit eclectic, so it starts out with biology. I have an undergraduate degree in biology from MIT. My PhD is in electrical engineering and computer science, so that’s quite a switchover. And most of my career, I was writing computer code to train computers to talk to humans in a natural conversation… conversational interaction with computers. We were pioneers in that space. You can see that it has really taken off now. And actually, by 2006, 2007, I started to realize that the kind of work I did already then was getting compromised by the, by the emergence of AI. And I got concerned that, I wouldn’t be able to sustain the path I was on. And it’s happening now, of course, to the young… many people, young people today, are facing a crisis in computer science, because it used to be if you had skills in hacking code, you were good to go, you know, and that’s just not true anymore, so that’s another whole story, but anyway, I decided I needed to do something different, and I pivoted in a big way in 2007. managed to get the company that had been funding me, a Taiwanese company called Quanta Computers, And they,We’re willing to switch over to funding me to do research on health and toxic chemical exposures. Which was a miracle that they let… they let me switch over to that, and that was fantastic, 2007. So it’s been almost 20 years. that I’ve been looking for toxic chemical exposures and their association with human disease. And I focused initially on autism and heart disease, kind of for personal reasons, because I knew people who had, you know, who had those issues.But it led into a much, much bigger story, and I’m super excited about what’s happened over the last 20 years. It’s been a continual learning experience for me, and I’ve just kept broadening my space in biology, furiously reading papers as I discovered new concepts and trying to explore those. opening up new windows, and it’s just been a profusion of learning over the past 20 years, and I’ve published many papers at this point. Peer-reviewed papers on the topics of toxic chemical exposures and disease. Particularly, glyphosate is the one I really focused on, and I wrote the book, Toxic Legacy, how the weed killer glyphosate is Destroying Our Health and the Environment.That was published in 2021. So. Dr. Deb Muth 04:18So I’m sure you have a few thoughts about the administration wanting to bring that back to be made at home instead of China, right? Seneff 04:26I know, that’s so interesting. And actually, you know, he makes a point that I agree with, which is that we are relying on China. for importing a whole bunch of stuff that’s really toxic, and we’re pouring it all over our food supply, so China’s probably very happy to poison us, you know? Oh, absolutely. It’s kind of ironic that we’re doing that, and he makes a good point that we shouldn’t be relying on China for these chemicals that are poisoning us, but where he misses the point is he says, well, we just need to poison ourselves, you know? Rather than getting rid of that chemical, we need to really change the way we grow food.I think it’s the number one most important thing right now. in America is to change the way we grow food, and it has to be certified organic, regenerative. We need to focus on healing the soil, just as we have to heal the gut. I mean, we’ve really messed up the microbes in both the soil and the gut, and the consequences, as you can see, are a huge problem with human disease. Dr. Deb Muth 05:20They’re devastating. I mean, we have so much chronic illness and so much neurological disease these days, and just the rise of autism, it should be telling us that we’re doing something wrong, right? Seneff 05:31Absolutely. Dr. Deb Muth 05:32We have a problem. For those people who are listening that don’t understand what the term glyphosate is, can you explain that a little bit to them? Seneff 05:39Yeah, so it’s one of the many herbicides that we use. We use herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides in agriculture, all these poisons, and it kind of seems crazy to me that we would think it’s okay to pour poisons all over our food supply. I don’t understand why we think that’s fine.Yeah. You know, categorically. Glyphosate is supposed to be a wonderful chemical, because it’s an herbicide that kills all plants except for those that have been engineered to resist it. And supposedly is completely harmless to humans. And that’s what gets to be, you know, disbelief, because how can something so toxic to plants be harmless to humans? Just, how can it be? Dr. Deb Muth 06:14We haven’t been re-engineered like the seeds that they use from Monsanto, so how can it not affect us if it only affects everything but their seeds that they’ve modified to make grow beautifully under that condition? It doesn’t make any sense. Seneff 06:32Right, and of course, the critical thing they missed is that our gut microbes do have that pathway. It’s the chicken mate pathway that it disrupts. Really critical in all the plants, and in most of the microbes. In the soil and in the gut, and so it kills off the microbes as well as the plants, and when it kills off your gut microbes, you gotta watch out, because gut dysbiosis is a huge thing. And we’ve had so many papers coming out lately that Talking about the relationship between gut dysbiosis and all kinds of different diseases. Dr. Deb Muth 07:01Do you think that’s why we see so much gut dysbiosis these days? Seneff 07:04Oh, absolutely. I think it’s not just glyphosate, because we have lots of poisons that are messing up our gut microbes, but glyphosate is a really big one, because the shikimate pathway is essential for many of the microbes, and they use it to make essential nutrients for the host. So we get compromised as well, just because they can’t make those nutrients in that. Dr. Deb Muth 07:22It’s so… Seneff 07:22lies. Dr. Deb Muth 07:23so much harder today to treat people with gut issues than it was 25 years ago when I started. It was so much easier. And now, it’s, like, nearly impossible sometimes to get some of these people back to a good, healthy gut microbiome, no matter what you do, no matter how well they eat, and all the things that they do. It’s a struggle, for sure, compared to what it was 20 years ago. Seneff 07:44It’s interesting that you have that personal experience, because I think people like you really can see what’s happening. Dr. Deb Muth 07:49and appreciate. Seneff 07:50the difference between then and now. I, of course, as a child, autism was not something I knew about at all. Really, when I was a child. It didn’t exist, basically. I mean, it was so rare. And now, you know, everyone knows someone with autism, you know, pretty much. Dr. Deb Muth 08:08Autism and Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s seems to be just so much commonplace. Everybody knows somebody in their family that is affected by one of those disorders, if not multiples, and We tend to say it’s genetic, right? Well, there’s got to be a genetic… why wasn’t it genetic 50 years ago, or 100 years ago? But now, all of a sudden, it’s so prevalent in our environment that we’ve just become acceptable of it, and I think that’s wrong for us to do that. We shouldn’t be doing that. Seneff 08:38I know. I find it very interesting how quickly it appears that humans adapt to the new normal, you know? Dr. Deb Muth 08:44Yeah. Seneff 08:45It’s normal that you have, you know. 3% of the kids have autism, that’s normal, you know? It’s just like, no, it’s not. And also, of course, all the Alzheimer’s and dementia and Parkinson’s, as you mentioned, in the elderly, those are connected, because they’re all related to brain problems that are being caused by chemicals that are destroying the brain. Dr. Deb Muth 09:03Yeah. So, how does glyphosphate interact with our body’s ability to absorb those essential nutrients, like sulfur? Seneff 09:12Yeah, well, it’s… that’s a big… that’s a big question. I don’t know where to begin with that one. Glyphosate, you know, it’s a train wreck for the gut microbes, and then that causes the gut dysbiosis. The microbes are unable to produce adequate amounts of nutrients that are essential for the host. And as a consequence, the host cells get sick, you know, so the colonocytes get sick because they’re not getting adequate nutrition. Because the microbes can’t produce the nutrition they normally would produce. I think that’s a good summary of what’s going on. You get inflammation in the gut.And then the inflammation causes immune reactions, so you get the immune cells coming in, and they create inflammation, you know, it’s just like there’s a kind of a festering going on in there that’s really a train wreck for the whole system. Dr. Deb Muth 09:58Do we see different, results with things like this in Europe, where they’re not allowed to use a lot of these chemicals that we’re allowed to use here? Seneff 10:07Yeah, they are allowed, but it’s much, much less there. My friend, Tony Mitra got his government, Canada, to do a test… to do a big test of over 8,000 samples, food samples, to get… look for glyphosate. U.S. government doesn’t bother to test for glyphosate, because they consider it to be safe.We know it’s all over our food supply from work by people like Zen Honeycutt. My friend Zan Honeycutt of Moms Across America has really been on a mission to test all kinds of different food samples for glyphosate and finding it extensive in our food supply, in the school lunches. in the fast food restaurants and the food that’s fed to the Army. She’s done all these different studies, breast milk. Wines, you know, all the wines were contaminated, even the biodynamic, which are organic.Had small amounts of glyphosate, so it’s just like it’s all over the food supply. Canada did 8,000 samples. Tony Beecher finally got them to do that after many years of harassing them, and then he published the results in a book called Poison Foods of North America, because they found that they had imports from Europe, imports from Mexico, imports from the U.S, And basically, the U.S. and Canada came out way on top, as far as overall, the numbers were much higher in those two countries. And Mexico lined up with Europe, which was quite interesting to me. So, you know, you’re better off if you buy food from Mexico. Dr. Deb Muth 11:31Yeah, and I wouldn’t have thought that, I would have thought that was different. Seneff 11:34And I know you often think that Mexican food is not going to be as carefully regulated, and you might get some kind of, toxin. You don’t expect Mexican food to be healthier than American, but it is. Dr. Deb Muth 11:44Yeah. Yeah, can you talk a little bit about deuterium? What is deuterium? Seneff 11:51Okay, that’s a good place to start. Yeah, deuterium… I am absolutely fascinated with deuterium, and I believe that the team of researchers that I’m working with, we are on to something really huge. I’m super, super excited. I almost can’t contain my excitement with this, because once we started looking, it’s just like everything made so much sense. Everything kind of came together. In terms of metabolism, and disruptive metabolism, and all the stuff that’s going on in the gut. It really, really makes sense. Deuterium is heavy hydrogen. It’s a natural element. Hydrogen is the smallest element, the upper left corner of the periodic table. One proton and one electron, and it’s by far the most common atom in the universe.And in our body, as well, by far the most common atom in our body, and it’s involved in all the chemical reactions that take place. And so, you know, have carbohydrates. The hydrates is hydrogen, you know, in the word carbon, hydrogen, carbohydrates. And of course, carbohydrates are, you know, basic foods. So anyway, deuterium has an extra neutron. It’s just like carbon-14, so carbon-12, carbon-14 is a little bit heavier. It’s got 14 instead of 12. It has extra neutrons. So there are these kind of isotopes of various atoms, but hydrogen has hydrogen, deuterium, and tritium. Tritium has two extra neutrons. It’s very rare, and deuterium has one extra neutron, and it’s rare compared to hydrogen, but it’s not rare, because hydrogen’s so common. So it’s actually present in the blood at five times the level of calcium, for example. Dr. Deb Muth 13:24Oh. Seneff 13:25So it’s not rare, but it’s a very interesting atom that has caused us trouble in the mitochondria. Dr. Deb Muth 13:32Is it actually considered a toxin? Seneff 13:34It’s a natural element, you know. I mean, you have natural elements that are toxic, you know, like some of those metals, like mercury, for example, is a natural element, but it’s toxic, so it’s not a chemical, it’s not a chemical, you know, not made in the chemical lab. It’s just an atom. And it’s all over the universe. It’s not like you can avoid it, or you can, you know, you can’t get rid of it. It’s everywhere. And so it’s a natural part of biology, and our biology has evolved. to very, very clever ways to protect the mitochondria from deuterium. So the thing is, mitochondria have ATPase, which makes ATP, and ATP is the universal… it’s the energy source for the cell.ATP. It’s made in the mitochondria, very, very important, oxidative phosphorylation, you know, that’s sort of basic in biology. And, those ATPase pumps, depend upon hydrogen flowing through the pumps to generate, motor force to make the ATP.And they pile up the hydrogen inside an inner membrane space. They’re kind of cute. The mitochondria have this internal matrix in the hole, like a donut hole. The matrix is where a lot of activity is going on. And then there’s a membrane, but the membrane has both an outer membrane and an inner membrane. So there’s an intermembrane space where the mitochondria dump a lot of protons. They make… put lots and lots of protons in there, and then the protons naturally come out through basic… through basic physics, they come out, and the pumps are there to grab the energy as the protons come out. It’s quite cool. Go back into the matrix. the protons go back into the matrix. So what the body does is it tries to keep deuterons out of those… out of that intermembrane space. It tries really hard not to put deuterons in there. So deuterons are the equivalent of protons.You know, proteom is the normal hydrogen, and then deuterium is the… is the one with the extra neutron that makes it twice as heavy. So because it’s twice as heavy, it behaves very, very differently. It’s kind of like a big, bulky thing coming through the pumps, and it can clobber them. It can really mess them up.And the body knows that, and so the body has designed incredibly elegant mechanisms to keep the deuterium levels inside that inner membrane space as low as possible. the body obsesses on that. And once you realize that, all of a sudden, lots and lots of things make sense in terms of looking at biochemistry and what’s going on. All kinds of things that didn’t make sense before suddenly come. clear… clear… are motivated by this idea of avoiding deuterium in the inner membrane space. So it’s really, really fascinating biology. Dr. Deb Muth 16:08So does the glyphosate tend to increase the deuterium in that space, or does it disrupt it? Seneff 16:16It definitely increases it, and the reason why is because it disrupts the enzymes that manage it. And so, for example. So this, I have to get into hydrogen gas and microbial production of hydrogen gas, which is central to the story. And you know, people get gashy, they have, like, bloating and stuff, there’s a lot. Dr. Deb Muth 16:34echo. Seneff 16:34That’s because those gases that are being made by the microbes are unable to be brought back into organic matter. So normally the microbes make lots and lots of gas, and they start with hydrogen gas, and they make methane gas, they make hydrogen sulfide gas, and they make all these gases. And then they use those gases as reducing agents to come back and make organic matter. So they basically convert food into basic gases, like hydrogen and carbon dioxide, right? And then they take the carbon dioxide and hydrogen to convert it back into food. And the reason why they do that is because the process of making the gas tremendously strips out the deuterium. This is absolutely central, I think, to metabolism.And it’s not something very many people are aware of. The microbes make the hydrogen gas. And when they do that, they lose 80% of the deuterium, because the deuterium tends to stay in the aqueous space, because it’s too heavy. You just think of, you know, trying to lift out… if you’re twice as heavy, it’s a lot harder to get out of the liquid into the air. You know, so basically to make the gas. When you make the gas, you lose a lot of the deuterium. And that is super, super central, I think, to metabolism. Dr. Deb Muth 17:47So, if that’s what’s happening inside of there, it’s obviously creating metabolism issues. What does that mean for energy and mitochondrial health, then? Seneff 17:58Well, what happens is that the microbes are unable to make enough of those nutrients that are super for the host that have low deuterium. And a particular one that I have in mind is butyrate. And I don’t know if you know anything about butyrate. Dr. Deb Muth 18:10Yeah. Seneff 18:12But it’s a very healthy resource for the gut. The colonocytes lining the gut, 80% of their food is butyrate. They love butyrate, normally. But lots of people have butyrate deficiency in their gut. And that deficiency is due to the fact that the microbes can’t make the hydrogen gas, because when they make the hydro… or they can’t bring the hydrogen gas back in to make. Dr. Deb Muth 18:34Beautiful. Seneff 18:35Because a butyrate comes from the hydrogen gas that’s produced by the gut microbes. Dr. Deb Muth 18:39So, if we supplement with N-butyrate, does that help that process work better, or does it not really do much with the deuterium, then? Seneff 18:48Well, there’s a big question with supplements, and I’m really starting to appreciate this more. You know, I always like natural, right? Natural versus synthetic. And I think there’s a huge difference. For many of these supplements that are popular, there’s a huge difference between natural and synthetic. Yeah. And that big difference has to do with the level of deuterium, because if it’s made synthetically. It’s not going to be depleted in deuterium. So when you’re taking… and I don’t know butyrate, you have to go and look at how they manufacture it to see if it comes from natural or synthetic ingredients. It’s extremely interesting with… I’ve looked into some of these other nutrients that people like to take as supplements. Choline by tartrate is one that I really was fascinated with, because… and there are papers that show that if you take choline by tartrate as a supplement… so choline, of course, is a very important nutrient, a lot ofAre deficient, especially if they’re vegetarian. And choline bitartrate is a synthetic form of choline. And, choline bitartrate, if you take… the studies have shown There’s a beautiful study that had people who ate a bunch of eggs, you know, because eggs are high in choline, and then they had people who took choline by tartrate to get an equivalent amount of choline in their diet compared to the eggs, right? And the people who ate the eggs were fine, and the people who ate the choline bitartrate were not. They had a very big increase in a metabolite called trimethylamine oxide, TMAO. Dr. Deb Muth 20:13in the. Seneff 20:14in the blood. And TMAO is a risk factor for a huge number of diseases, you know, all the usual suspects, the diabetes, the cholesterol, the heart disease, cancer, all kinds of diseases. Dr. Deb Muth 20:26TMA over. Seneff 20:26is a very interesting molecule that’s been studied quite a bit recently. There’s a lot of papers on it. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, TMAO . Dr. Deb Muth 20:32I have, yeah. Seneff 20:33Yeah, okay. Well, that one is a… it’s very, very interesting, and I have a paper that I’m trying to get published right now that I’m quite proud of that talks about all of this, but they found that when you eat the eggs and get the choline that way, you’re fine, but if you take the choline bichartrate, you’re not. You get all this TMAO. And the reason, I think, is because the microbes… the microbes make TMA from choline. the trimethylamine. Choline has a nitrogen atom with 3 methyls attached to it, and those methyls are going to be really low in deuterium. Because they’re part of the methylation pathway, which microbes make sure those methyls are low in deuterium. So all the whole methylation pathways, I think, is a distribution system to deliver low deuterium nutrients throughout the body, not just in the gut. You know, and the body has all these ways of hooking methyls onto things. Dr. Deb Muth 21:26and take it. Seneff 21:26them off, and when it takes them off, it metabolizes them in the mitochondria, delivering to them low deuterium nutrient. So, so when you take the choline bitartrate, and it’s not low deuterium, what happens is you end up with molecules of TMA, trimethylamine, that have deuterium in them. And when you have those, they won’t… the microbes won’t metabolize them, they won’t turn them back into hydrogen. You know, deuterium depleted hydrogen, they won’t do it. So they stick around, the TMA doesn’t get metabolized, and then it gets sent to the liver, the liver turns it into TMAO, and now you’ve got your problem. And I think TMAO is a marker for deuterium overload in the mitochondria, in the methylation pathways. Dr. Deb Muth 22:06That’s interesting that you’re talking about that. I belong to a group, and we’ve been researching plosmalogen therapy, and one of the supplements that was created was created with a large amount of phospholine. And,And by itself, when we used the phospholine in one of our formulations, it wasn’t bad, but when they doubled the dose and they were putting it in all of their formulations, people were starting to see the TMO levels go up. And we were trying to figure out, like, what’s happening here. It wasn’t everybody, but it was a good chunk of people, enough for us to say, hey, something needs to change here. We need to take out this phospholine, or not use as much of it. But now this explains exactly why the TAMO was going up. And if those people do have a lot of deuterium, maybe why we saw some people have a problem with it, but not everybody had a problem with it. Seneff 22:57It depends on their microbes. If their microbes are healthy enough to be able to metabolize the TMA, they’re fine. And the microbes produce the TMA, and then they metabolize it. And they’re doing that to generate more deuterium-depleted nutrients. They’re constantly trying to come up with new nutrients that are deuterium-depleted to feed to the host. I mean, they’re really obsessed with it. And they do a good job, normally, but they get so messed up by all these chemicals, and not just glyphosate, of course, all the chemicals in our food and in the air, it’s a mess, you know? Dr. Deb Muth 23:26It’s amazing the body works as well as it does. Seneff 23:28It is. I really am surprised that we don’t have more people who are super sick, you know? Dr. Deb Muth 23:33Exactly. Seneff 23:33Not for sure, but some of us are doing okay with it, you know? Dr. Deb Muth 23:37Yeah, exactly. So when we have this high level of deuterium, high levels of glyphosphate, what is that going to do to the body’s energy stores? Seneff 23:46well, it’s going to wreck the mitochondria, and then you’re going to get chronic fatigue. I mean, I think chronic fatigue syndrome, to me, is a very clear example of mitochondrial damage due to excess deuterium. I think that can completely explain that disease. Dr. Deb Muth 24:01Do you think this high level of deuterium is causing people to see more neurological diseases as well, like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s? It’s fueling it. Seneff 24:11Absolutely, because the brain has so much dependence on energy, you know, the brain uses a lot of energy, and they need really healthy mitochondria. They have… neurons have lots of mitochondria. Neurons and muscle cells really, you know, are loaded up with mitochondria, and both of them get injured when they don’t have a… when they can’t keep deuterium out of the mitochondria. Dr. Deb Muth 24:30The cells. Seneff 24:31get injured by all the reactive oxygen the mitochondria are producing, which the ATPase pumps, once they’re getting contaminated with all that deuterium, they start spewing out reactive oxygen. It kills the mitochondria, then it kills the cell, then it kills the brain, you know? It’s like a progression. It really starts with the mitochondrial damage, and then the cell dies, and once the neurons start dying, then the brain dies, you know, and you’ve got all. symptoms. Dr. Deb Muth 24:55So can we measure deuterium like we can glyphosphate in the body? Seneff 24:59You can, yes. In fact, you can do a saliva test and send it off and get the… get a level of how much deuterium is in your saliva. I would love to know more… in more detail how much deuterium is in different parts of the body, because that’s really interesting to me from my studies. What I’m suspecting is that the body… so the cells actually dump deuterium outside the cell. That to try to get as little deuterium as possible inside the cell. And within the cell, they’re trying to get as little deuterium as possible inside the mitochondria. So there’s layers of trying to get rid of the deuterium. And so the convenient thing is to dump the deuterium outside the cell. So there’s a lot of deuterium in bones, for example, probably in your skin, you know, any kind of exterior materials. And the sort of glycocalyx, so there’s this glycocalyx that lines all the blood vessels.That’s these sort of complicated sulfated sugar… complex sugar molecules that, that create gelled water. this gets into Gerald Pollack’s work. I don’t know if you know anything about Gerald Pollack and gelled water, but that’s quite a fascinating field all by itself. But it has to do with really fascinating stuff, because Gerald Pollack talks about battery… a battery being created by the gel. He’s done a lot of research on gelled water. You know, like jello, for example.And you put some powder, you put some hot boiling water, you let it sit, it gels up. It’s mostly water, but it’s a funny phase of water. It’s called the… he calls it the fourth phase of water. He wrote a whole book about that. Gerald Pollack did. And, it’s a gel phase, so water has, you know, the liquid, the solid, the gas, and then the gel. And… and most of the water in our body is gel, is gelled. And especially all the water lining the blood vessels. The blood vessels have free-flowing blood in the middle, right? Dr. Deb Muth 26:46in the long… Seneff 26:46the edges, they have this gelled water that’s created by these sulfated glycos… I mean, the glycans, they’re called, complicated word there, but… They create the gelled water, and the gel… actually, what Pollock showed is that the gel becomes negatively charged, and it pushes out protons. It pushes protons out into the blood. And it ends up being negatively charged because of that. And it creates a battery, and that battery is a source of energy, so… so you can think of, the gel as being like a battery supporting the entire body. All the gel in the blood is a battery. It’s a giant battery. And when you get exposed to sunlight, the gel grows in volume by a lot, and so when the gel gets bigger, it gets to be a bigger battery, and it’s capturing the energy in sunlight. It’s like a solar panel. your skin is like a solar panel, capturing the energy in the sunlight and converting it into this energy in that gel that pushes out those protons. And the cool thing is the deuterons tend to stay behind Because, It’s a little bit of interesting physics here when you have a water molecule, could have one deuterium, one hydrogen, and an oxygen. Water is H2O, right? It would be HDO, one hydrogen, one deuterium, and oxygen, right? HGO. And when you separate that out, usually you separate water out into OH- and H+, right, when you pull it apart into ions. OH minus and H+. Well, what happens here is that the deuterium sticks harder to the oxygen. than the hydrogen does. So you get OD- and H+. more often than OH minus and D+. Dr. Deb Muth 28:22So you have a lot fewer D pluses inside that gel. Seneff 28:26And the H pluses go out into the blood, and the D pluses are… the Ds are stuck to the oxygen, so they don’t go out. So you end up, actually, that’s a sort of distillation process that pulls healthy proteins out of the gel, into the blood. And that makes the blood levels of deuterium lower. Do you see what I’m saying? The deuterium gets trapped in the gel. And the deuterium gets trapped in bone in the same way, in the bone, in the skin. So the body’s trying to keep the deuterium out of the cell, and within the cell, it’s trying to keep it out of the mitochondria, and actually out of all the organelles, not just the mitochondria. So it’s… there’s a whole… Metabolism cannot be explained without looking at deuterium. Dr. Deb Muth 29:07Yeah, so if deuterium’s getting trapped in the bone, much like lead does, does it take up space where we can’t have calcium, and then it leads to more osteoporosis as well? Seneff 29:16I don’t think so. I think deuterium is actually healthy in the bones. Dr. Deb Muth 29:19Interesting. It actually makes the bone stronger, and in fact, there was a really beautiful article on seals. Seneff 29:24You know, SEALs, they do the deep dives, they get into this really, high-pressure zone. Dr. Deb Muth 29:28with… Seneff 29:29in deep water. So they have to be really strong, and the seals actually dope up their bones with twice as much deuterium as what is normal. So they concentrate deuterium. They showed it with the seals, they concentrate deuterium in their bones, and the deuterium makes the bones stronger, so they can sustain the high pressure of the dot. Do you hear the thunder? We’ve got a big thunderstorm. Dr. Deb Muth 29:52So, when you’re testing for deuterium in saliva, are you testing the excess, then? Like, what the body doesn’t. Seneff 30:00Well, there’s the. Dr. Deb Muth 30:00The waste of it? Seneff 30:01It’s really complicated, because I think it’s hard to know how to interpret it. It’s just like when you test for, like, you know, toxic metals, like mercury, like in the hair, you can do a. Dr. Deb Muth 30:13It’s in the hair. Seneff 30:14And sometimes you can find someone who actually has a problem with that metal, but the hair doesn’t show it. Dr. Deb Muth 30:20Bismar. Seneff 30:21doesn’t actually excrete it in the hair, so you have to think about Can the body get rid of it that way? And actually, in the saliva, I believe the saliva the body concentrates deuterium in the saliva, because it’s trying to get rid of deuterium. So a way to… you have the salivary glands, and they can actually excrete, preferentially excrete deuterium. Into the saliva. to concentrate it there in order to keep it out of the body. But those enzymes that do that might be compromised, in which case you have less deuterium in your mouth, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that’s good. You see what I mean? So when you see whatever the level is, it’s hard to interpret it, I believe. Dr. Deb Muth 30:58Yeah, it’s hard to tell what to do with it, then. Seneff 31:01Yeah, whether it’s low because your salivary glands aren’t working well, or whether it’s low because your whole body’s low, you know? And you can’t really know which way that goes, necessarily. So that makes it hard to interpret, I think. Dr. Deb Muth 31:13It sure does. Seneff 31:15I’m interested, for example, breast milk has low deuterium. Saliva has high deuterium. And you’re… I haven’t been able to find… there’s very few measurements, so I’d like to see a lot more measurements on the… just what’s typical, you know? Right. Dr. Deb Muth 31:31expect the urine to have hydrocherium, so anything that you’re excreting, I would expect it to have hydrocherium. So, knowing this information that we have, how does one fix these metabolic issues that we’ve kind of created in our own environment, for lack of a better term, because of our own… our own misgivings of what we’ve done in the world. How do we protect our brain and repair that metabolic issue in the mitochondria these days, then? Seneff 31:58I would say the most essential thing is to eat certified organic food. Dr. Deb Muth 32:02Always buy certified organic. It doesn’t guarantee that it’s free from chemicals, but it’s generally better. Seneff 32:07So that’s… we’ve been practicing that ever since 2012, when I figured out that glyphosate is causing a mess. So we went organic, and we’ve been like that ever since. We did a purge, we threw away everything, even the spices, started over in our kitchen. Yeah. In 2012, and then we’ve just been consistently buying certified organic ever since then. Dr. Deb Muth 32:27at least lowers the load, right? I mean… Seneff 32:29Yeah, it’s. Dr. Deb Muth 32:30There could be… Seneff 32:30some contamination. Dr. Deb Muth 32:31there, but… Seneff 32:32It’s a lot less, generally, but not zero, not necessarily zero. Dr. Deb Muth 32:35Right. Seneff 32:36undetectable. But that’s a really important thing. Another thing is to eat… I think eating fiber can help the microbes to produce those low-deuterium nutrients. The microbesWe can’t digest… our cells don’t know what to do with fiber, but the microbes can digest the fiber, turn it into hydrogen gas, turn it back into nutrients, like short-chain fatty acids, you know, butyrate. So, by eating foods that contain fiber, you’re helping the microbes to produce butyrate, and butyrate is really, really important for the health of the colon, you know? Dr. Deb Muth 33:07Yeah, and we’re talking about eating whole food organic, not organic Doritos and Cheetos. Seneff 33:13Right, right. Dr. Deb Muth 33:14kinds of things, right? Seneff 33:15Whole foods is really important. I always say whole foods and organic foods, those are the two really important things. And then I don’t really, you know, there’s all these different fad diets with respect to, a loss of fat, or no fat, and all that kind of thing. I don’t buy into any of those. I think you just want to have a balanced diet.Carbs are okay, you know, fats are really healthy, and especially animal-based fats are healthy. I don’t like a vegan diet, because I think animal-based foods provide certain nutrients that are really hard to get otherwise. And like I say, you can’t take choline by tartrate to replace the choline that’s in the animal-based foods. Dr. Deb Muth 33:48Right. Yeah, I’ve worked a lot, and I’ve never seen a healthy vegan. I mean, we can say we’re vegan.But those people are eating a lot of junk food, typically. They’re not true vegans, where they’re just eating whole food and getting all their nutrients from good quality foods. Most of the people that I’ve worked with over the years that have been vegan eat a lot of processed foods, a lot of junk foods. It just doesn’t include the animal fats, and then that makes them unhealthy, and we see a lot of nutrient deficiencies and a lot of pain and energy issues. It’s very hard to be a healthy vegan. In my opinion, as well. Seneff 34:20I agree, I agree, yeah. Dr. Deb Muth 34:23So I like to ask this question of all of my guests, and if you were designing a public health policy tomorrow, what would your first change be? Seneff 34:32To switch the farming system to be small farms that are regenerative, not just organic, organic regenerative small farms, with no use of chemicals. Dr. Deb Muth 34:42Yeah. Seneff 34:43No insecticides, no fungicides, no herbicides, nothing, you know? And even natural fertilizer, of course, as well. Of course, right now, you know, the organic farms rely on the chickens to get. Dr. Deb Muth 34:57the. Seneff 34:58Manure, which has glyphosate in it, so they… they get their glyphosate from the manure. Dr. Deb Muth 35:04Yeah, because a lot of that chicken feed has glyphosate in it, and then they’re passing that through, and we think that it doesn’t pass through, but it does pass through, and… Yeah, I would agree with you. I think when we went to these big industrial farming practices, we did not do ourselves any favor. And shipping food across the country to be slaughtered, only to ship it back here. Seneff 35:29It doesn’t make any sense, and… Dr. Deb Muth 35:32Growing things in environments where people live that isn’t natural to them, that doesn’t make sense to me either, in a lot of ways. Seneff 35:41Yeah, it’s very frustrating, because I think we really… it’s too bad that we lost all those small family farms, because we need them back. We really need them back, and I think that’s really the… and you want to have a variety of different crops, you know, we have all these massive cornfields, that’s just wrong. Dr. Deb Muth 35:55Yeah. Yeah, and they do nothing but corn until…Until your county says you have to do something different now, because you’ve depleted the soil too much, and they don’t want to put any soil preservation back in, and put any nutrients back in, because that’s expensive. Seneff 36:12Exactly. Dr. Deb Muth 36:13And then they’ll rotate the crop maybe once a year, and then they’re back to growing corn again, because that’s the largest revenue producer for them at the time, and it really is a challenge for us. Really a challenge. Seneff 36:26Yeah, it’s going to be very difficult to pivot to the kind of agriculture we need, and if we don’t do it, we’re just going to get sicker and sicker. Dr. Deb Muth 36:33Like, my friend. Seneff 36:34frightening. Dr. Deb Muth 36:35Yeah. Seneff 36:35How sick we are. Dr. Deb Muth 36:37Yeah, and I think people trying to grow their own food, at least some of it, can be really helpful and beneficial, too. We need to go back to that practice. Seneff 36:44I know, yes, rooftop farms, right? Dr. Deb Muth 36:47Back in the city. Seneff 36:48That’s really quite cool. I’ve heard some lectures on that. Dr. Deb Muth 36:51Yeah. Yeah, even some of the hydroponic growing that you can do in your apartment and get some lettuce and some herbs and things like that. I mean, anything that you can grow yourself, I think, is a big benefit. A, you don’t. Seneff 37:03I think it’s. Dr. Deb Muth 37:04B, you know how it’s been grown. C, it’s just healthier for you, and it’s less that you’re gonna have to buy that you don’t know that, what’s been growing in it, so… Seneff 37:13And it’s also kind of fun, right? You feel good that you’ve produced your own food. I think it’s really quite neat. Dr. Deb Muth 37:18Yeah, and there’s something, therapeutic about digging in the dirt a little bit, and getting your hands dirty. Seneff 37:24It’s really good to be outdoors and getting exercise. I mean, really, the work that’s involved with growing food is quite healthy work, really. Dr. Deb Muth 37:31Yeah, it’s a lot of work, for sure. That it is. So, for listeners that might be feeling a little overwhelmed about what we’re talking about, and thinking about, how do I detox or nutrition, where do I get some of this education, what kind of resources would you recommend for them? Seneff 37:47That’s a tough one. There’s not much known about deuterium, so it’s really quite difficult to… you can search deuterium, and there are some… a couple of good resources, which I can’t name, I could probably send you a link, describing deuterium. I know there’s a woman who’s written some nice material. on deuterium, just to get a sense of… more… a better sense of what it is, and why it’s a problem. But there’s not much. I mean, we need to have a lot more. I really want to get the research community aware that. Dr. Deb Muth 38:17They need to be. Seneff 38:17researching deuterium and its role in the body, because I think it’s absolutely essential. We’ll never understand disease if we don’t look at deuterium. Dr. Deb Muth 38:24Yeah, I think so, too. I think… I think the… there’s a lot of amazing discoveries that are being found. That could open the doors and give us answers to reversing a lot of disease, if there was funding behind it, if there were people like you that were interested in it, to really dig down from a functional medicine standpoint and try to figure it out instead of looking at it from a big pharma aspect, where we just need to find a pill that’ll fix it. Seneff 38:50I know. Dr. Deb Muth 38:51There are not pills that are going to fix these kinds of things. Seneff 38:54Right, yes, pharma’s way off base, I think. They’re really going after the completely wrong approach to health. Dr. Deb Muth 39:01I agree. Well, thank you so much for joining me today. It’s been a pleasure. Is there any last words that you want to leave with our listeners? Seneff 39:09I don’t know, I just, you know, healthy living is basically just eating whole foods, eating organic foods, getting plenty of fiber and fermented foods.And healthy fats, you know, sort of a variety of diet, a really mixed diet. Lots of fresh vegetables. I mean, there’s all these different great things to eat. Just stay away from the soy protein bars, you know, and the candy bars, and that sort of thing. And the cookies, I mean, just, you know. And then, of course, getting outside in the sunlight is something I always have to say. I love the sun. I think it’s very therapeutic, and we don’t get enough sunlight. We’re just. Dr. Deb Muth 39:43We don’t. And if we do, then we’re lathering on all of our sunscreen so that we don’t get the sun, and that’s creating its own issues, right? Seneff 39:51That’s right. Dr. Deb Muth 39:54Well, thank you so much for being with me today. Seneff 39:56Thank you. My pleasure. Dr. Deb Muth 40:03Thank you for joining me today on Let’s Talk Wellness Now.

In today's episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore sits down with workplace resilience expert and U.S. Marine veteran Tiffany Wentz‑Root to decode how different generations show up in the industrial water treatment industry. From the Silent Generation's post‑war loyalties through Baby Boomers' commitment to long hours, Gen X's distrust of corporate loyalty, Millennials' desire for purpose and feedback, and Gen Z's demand for emotional literacy, the conversation illustrates how each cohort was shaped by historical and technological upheaval. The discussion reframes "hustle culture" and argues that a focus on mental health and values alignment can increase retention and performance. Generations and the events that shaped them Tiffany explains that generations are roughly 20–30 year cohorts defined by shared formative experiences. The Silent Generation (1928‑45) endured the Great Depression and World War II; Baby Boomers (1946‑64) were taught loyalty and stability; Gen X (1965‑80) witnessed mass layoffs and became fiercely independent; Millennials (1981‑96) were helicopter parented and accustomed to participation trophies; and Gen Z (1997‑2012) grew up online, socializing via games and apps and weathering school shootings and a pandemic. These histories explain why Baby Boomers and Gen X equate "hard work" with hours logged, whereas Millennials and Gen Z measure effort by pride, alignment and emotional impact. Gen Z's exposure to constant online crises makes them the "anxious and afraid generation" with record rates of anxiety and depression, highlighting the need for supportive leadership.   Hustle culture versus emotional literacy The conversation challenges the idea that toughness equals success. Wentz‑Root stresses that leaders must "stop prizing strength" and recognize that feeling and processing emotions is hard work. She advocates for environments where people can bring their whole selves to work rather than suppressing feelings in order to conform to traditional hustle culture. She notes that Gen Z sees phone calls as "prehistoric" and prefers to communicate via apps like Snapchat or Discord, so older professionals should adapt their communication style—using fewer capital letters, punctuation and more emojis or GIFs—to avoid appearing angry or dismissive. For water treatment companies seeking to recruit young professionals, she urges them to articulate company values and support mental health, because Gen Z will leave if work doesn't align with their skills or passions. Practical strategies for leaders and organizations To bridge the generational divide, Wentz‑Root proposes creating a "social contract": a collaboratively defined set of values, behaviors and communication norms that are revisited regularly. Such agreements encourage teams to discuss how they prefer to give and receive feedback, when to use Slack versus meetings, and what good work looks like across ages. She also recommends structured cross‑mentorship, matching senior employees who are nearing retirement with junior colleagues based on skills rather than age, so institutional knowledge isn't lost. She cautions against judging younger staff as entitled or weak; rather, leaders should ask why behaviors exist and treat differences as strengths. Lastly, she reminds Baby Boomers and Gen Xers that sharing decades of hard‑earned experience with Gen Z isn't charity—it's how you build a legacy and ensure the industry thrives. For water‑treatment professionals, recognizing that "different doesn't mean wrong" can unlock better collaboration, innovation and resilience. By replacing judgment with curiosity, establishing social contracts and mentorship programs, and adapting communication to younger workers, leaders can turn generational tension into an asset.

We need to understand that emotions are very difficult to face. To feel your feelings, to name them, to process them—that's hard" "When I asked, 'What's your definition of hard work?' the baby boomer said, 'I put in a lot of hours.' Gen X said, 'I put in a lot of hours.' Millennials said, 'I get the job done and I'm proud of it.' Gen Z said, 'It's when the work that I've done aligns with my skills and my passions, and I feel good about what I did'" "Judgment kills curiosity … When I see someone of a different generation with a different way of communicating, I automatically go, 'That's bad, that's weird.' Instead, I want you to step into curiosity and say, 'Why would they do that? What happened in their life that shaped them to be this person?'"   Connect with Tiffany Wentz-Root Phone: (425) 359-5088 Email: tiffany@resilientroots.com Website: resilientroots.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanywentz-root/    Guest Resources Mentioned  Generational Diversity Outline  Bridging the Gap: Navigating Generational Diversity at Work 17776: What football will look like in the future by Jon Bois Pity the Reader: On Writing with Style (Paperback) by Kurt Vonnegut (Author), Suzanne McConnell (Author) Washington's Farewell: The Founding Father's Warning to Future Generations by John Avlon   Scaling UP!

Power plant water and steam chemistry is not a background task. It affects safety, reliability, metallurgy, production, and the decisions plant teams make under pressure. In Part 1 of this conversation, Trace Blackmore, CWT, welcomes Bradley Buecker of SAMCO Technologies and Buecker Associates to examine what happens when familiar assumptions go unchallenged. Safety Comes First in High-Energy Systems Bradley begins with the lesson that has shaped decades of his work: safety. Power and industrial systems involve heat, flow, moving equipment, chemicals, confined spaces, lockout/tagout requirements, and PPE decisions that cannot be treated casually. That safety lens carries directly into the discussion of flow accelerated corrosion, or FAC. Bradley explains how older thinking around removing all oxygen from high-pressure steam generation systems helped shape all-volatile treatment reducing programs. However, research following a catastrophic 1986 feedwater line failure showed that chemistry, flow conditions, pH, temperature, and piping geometry can combine to thin protective oxide layers on carbon steel. "Water is Water" Is a Risky Mindset Trace and Bradley then challenge one of the most expensive assumptions in industrial plants: "water is water." Bradley explains why boiler makeup treatment, softener performance, hardness control, and operating discipline deserve attention before failures appear. Low-pressure and intermediate-pressure boilers may tolerate a range of dissolved solids, but hardness remains a serious threat. Calcium and magnesium can form calcium carbonate scale in hot boiler environments, especially when softeners are poorly maintained, overrun, or bypassed to keep production moving. Bradley shares examples where short-term operating decisions led to tube failures, re-tubing, hydrogen damage, and costly downtime. Layup, Stainless Steel, and Data Before Assumptions The conversation also covers proper layup, oxygen and moisture corrosion, nitrogen capping, dehumidified air, vapor phase corrosion inhibitors, and why idle systems need a plan. Bradley reminds listeners that protecting the boiler is not enough; condensers, low-pressure turbines, and other surfaces also matter. Finally, Bradley discusses stainless steel selection and why 304L or 316L should never be treated as a universal cure for corrosion. Chlorides, deposits, cycling in cooling towers, and pitting risk all need to be evaluated before materials decisions become expensive lessons. His closed cooling water case history reinforces the same principle: do not clean, treat, or specify based on assumption. Get the data first. Good water treatment decisions protect people, equipment, and production. This conversation is a reminder that experience matters, but so does the willingness to ask questions, challenge old habits, and reach out before a problem becomes a failure.

 Communication shapes how teams learn, respond, correct, and build trust. Trace Blackmore, CWT welcomes returning guest Paule Genest, Director, Sales and ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) Water and Energy TGWT / The Tannin Guys for a conversation on positive communication, temperaments, the WOW Effect, and how water professionals can use words with more clarity and care.    Communication With a Positive Impact  Paule reframes positive communication as communication with a positive impact. The goal is not fake positivity or polished language. The goal is to use the right words, tone, timing, and listening habits to create better emotional and relational outcomes.  That distinction matters in technical environments. Teams may say they want innovation, accountability, safety, or trust, but unclear or defensive communication can unintentionally create the opposite result. Paule reminds listeners that communication is not optional. It is operational.    Listening, Temperaments, and Shared Definitions  Trace and Paule revisit the temperament framework made familiar to Scaling UP! Nation through Kathleen Edelman's past appearances. Paule identifies herself as a "yellow," while Trace identifies as a "red," creating a useful example of how different communication styles can either complement or frustrate one another.  They also discuss why listening is more than waiting to respond. Paule encourages listeners to pay attention to words, nonverbal cues, context, environment, and emotion. She also emphasizes the importance of shared definitions. A word like "innovation," "courage," or "accountability" may not mean the same thing to every person in the room.    The Fizz Factor  Paule introduces the idea of "just enough fizz" in communication. Fizz is the energy, care, authenticity, and clarity that makes communication feel alive without becoming fake, overwhelming, or unclear.  Too little fizz can make communication flat. Too much can create noise. The professional challenge is learning how much energy, directness, empathy, and clarity the person and the situation require.    When Communication Gets Difficult  The conversation also addresses harder moments: tension in meetings, emotional escalation, apologies, safety corrections, and urgent technical situations. Paule encourages professionals to pause, breathe, validate, and revisit conversations when needed.  In a boiler room or safety-critical setting, direct communication may be necessary immediately. However, Trace and Paule agree that teams can still return later to review what happened, protect the relationship, and improve the system.  Better communication does not remove difficulty from technical work. It helps professionals handle difficulty with more clarity, humility, and purpose.  Listen to the full conversation above. Explore related episodes below. Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps  01:17 — Trace shares information about the Global 6K for Water and invites listeners to participate on Saturday, May 16. 02:20 — Trace introduces the episode topic: why clear, positive communication matters during busy seasons filled with projects, audits, customer calls, emails, and coordination. 03:28 — Words of Water with James McDonald 05:03 — Trace encourages listeners to visit the Scaling UP!

celebrate the industrial water treatment profession. 10:42 — Trace sets up the main interview by identifying miscommunication as a common professional challenge and introducing the need for better communication. 11:17 — Trace welcomes returning guest Paule Genest of TGWT Clean Technologies Inc. and references her previous appearances on Episode 192 and Episode 380 12:31 — Paule shares what she has been focused on since her last appearance, including growing relationships, improving communication, and supporting the water technologies community. 13:47 — Paule discusses her podcast-style work with power engineers and boiler operators, created to bring visibility to professionals who are often overlooked. 14:40 — Paule shares her work as an adjunct teacher at the University of Montreal, where her class on social responsibility and PR has become a required course. 15:23 — Paule talks about the Women of Water community, mentoring Abigail Coquette, and the value of documenting mentorship experiences for future learning. 16:05 — Trace reflects on an AWT Colorado Springs panel with baby boomers, Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z, showing how different generations respond to the same communication questions. 17:01 — Paule explains how she has learned to organize her communication around the listener and the message she wants them to take away. 18:30 — Trace introduces temperaments, with Paule identifying as yellow and Trace identifying as red, and connects the discussion to Kathleen Edelman's communication work. 19:31 — Trace explains why communication should be shaped for the recipient, using his Gen Z son and punctuation in text messages as an example. 19:54 — Paule explains that positive communication is not simply the opposite of negative communication, but a way of choosing words that influence emotional and relational outcomes. 21:40 — Paule emphasizes listening as an art and encourages professionals to pay attention to words, nonverbal cues, context, environment, and emotion. 22:43 — Paule explains why shared definitions matter, using "innovation" as an example of a word that may mean different things to different people. 23:54 — Paule discusses how people bring past experiences into present conversations and references I'm Okay, You're Okay and the child, parent, and adult framework. 26:00 — Trace asks Paule to explain her idea of "just enough fizz" in communication. 26:09 — Paule defines fizz as the energy, care, authenticity, vulnerability, and positive impact that help communication become more effective. 28:14 — Paule introduces the Fizz Factor Quiz and walks Trace through possible responses when tension rises in a team meeting. 29:29 — Paule compares communication styles to still water, espresso, sparkling water, and kombucha, helping listeners visualize different ways people show up in conversation. 30:30 — Paule explains the importance of speaking truth with empathy, checking tone and timing, and acknowledging how a message is received. 31:40 — Trace shares the example of a communication stick, where one person speaks until the other can accurately reflect what was said. 34:07 — Paule explains how to step back during emotional conversations by breathing, noticing physical cues, and returning to a listening mode. 37:10 — Paule reframes positive communication as "communication with a positive impact," focusing on the outcome it creates for both parties. 40:02 — Trace explains the three-part apology: acknowledging what happened, connecting with how it affected the other person, and asking how to make it right. 41:01 — Paule connects social responsibility with communication and explains why the outcome needs to be positive for both parties in a dialogue. 42:11 — Paule describes the communication model of speaker, listener, message, environment, noise, context, and feedback. 45:21 — After the sponsor break, Trace explains a question he uses when communication does not land as intended: "What did you just hear me say?" 45:55 — Paule suggests rating meetings and conversations by asking what each person felt, understood, and took away. 46:34 — Trace asks how communication changes in urgent safety situations, such as a boiler room issue that could lead to equipment failure or injury. 46:59 — Paule explains that direct safety communication may be necessary in the moment, but the team should revisit the conversation later to learn and preserve the relationship. 48:37 — Trace returns to the idea of "just enough fizz" and asks how to know whether the fizz is for the speaker, the listener, or the situation. 48:53 — Paule explains that fizz should respect both people, the situation, and the communication style of the other party. 50:47 — Paule shares how Melanie helped her realize that poetic communication still needs a clear action or outcome. 53:06 — Paule introduces Mathieu Laferrière's Feel, Know, Do approach as a practical structure for communication and email writing. 55:43 — Trace asks whether fizz works in email, where tone, facial expression, and visual cues are missing. 56:07 — Paule explains how to adapt the Feel, Know, Do structure for different temperaments, especially when writing to more direct communicators. 57:08 — Paule encourages listeners to ask people how they prefer to communicate, whether by email, text, Messenger, or another channel. 58:31 — Trace raises a practical technical example, asking whether fizz matters when simply reporting that a pump was out of prime. 58:54 — Paule explains that fizz is part of the experience and can still be present in technical updates through clarity, usefulness, and a human touch. 01:00:38 — Trace shares advice he received early in podcasting: it is okay to be impressed, but you have to be involved. 01:02:33 — Paule summarizes her key message: positive communication is not optional, it is operational. 01:03:15 — Paule begins the lightning round by creating a friendship holiday centered on writing a letter to yourself and to a friend. 01:04:52 — Paule shares her mantra, "Life is fragile," and connects it to people, the environment, Mother Nature, and water. 01:06:50 — Paule explains why she wishes more people understood the importance of boiler operators and power engineers. 01:10:21 — Trace summarizes the main lesson from the conversation: positive communication requires intentionally chosen words that help the other person understand the message. 01:11:16 — Trace explains how past experiences can shape miscommunication and why choosing words carefully can remove some of the "gray" in communication. 01:12:07 — Trace reflects on generational communication differences and encourages listeners to give others more grace.   Quotes "Be calm.

Welcome to our daily dose of Bitachon in our Shaar Bitachon series. Chovot haLevavot describes different things to contemplate. One of the greatest things he says, which is the crowning gift of man to living creatures and to growing things, is the rain coming at the right time. And he quotes a Pasuk in Yirmiyahu that the prophet is chastising the Jewish people and he says, "Can idols bring about rain?" Now this is something to really think about. One of those things we just take for granted: it's raining. And as we've said in the past, we've been raised with "rain, rain, go away." Let's look into appreciating the rain. So we start off with most of the world's evaporation happens over the oceans, because that's where most of the rain comes from, not from freshwater lakes. Oceans, as we know, are salty and toxic to most land plants. If the salt rose with the water, the rain would destroy the earth rather than nourish it. The wonder is that the process of evaporation acts as a massive natural desalination plant. It separates the pure H2O molecules from the salt and impurities, ensuring that every drop that falls from the sky is fresh, life-giving water. But that's still not enough. Water vapor in the air doesn't just turn into liquid on its own. It needs a platform to grab onto. And these are the microscopic bits of dust, sea salt, or even bacteria floating in the atmosphere. These tiny seeds that Hashem provides causes that it grabs onto something and creates this cloud. And with that, the vapor gives birth to the raindrop. Another challenge: rain clouds are usually thousands of feet in the air. If a raindrop just fell through a vacuum, gravity would cause it to accelerate to such a high speed it would hit the ground like a bullet, destroying the crops and harming animals. It'd be like hail coming down. But because of the density of our atmosphere and the aerodynamic shape of a raindrop, the drop comes through in a nice 15 to 20 mile an hour speed, and it falls gently enough to water a delicate flower without crushing it. Another important factor: plants need nitrogen to grow. But they don't breathe nitrogen that makes up 75% of our air. They can only take it in through their roots in a liquid form. When lightning strikes, the intense heat breaks apart the nitrogen molecules in the air and they then bond with oxygen and dissolve into the falling raindrops. So rain isn't just water, it's pre-mixed liquid fertilizer that feeds the plant at the exact moment they're being hydrated, similar to vitamin water or any other type of energy drink. Now further, the Chovot haLevavot stresses the words that the rain comes in the right time, the term Yoreh u'Malkosh, early rain and late rain. Rain patterns are dictated by massive global currents and the tilt of the earth. If the rain came at the wrong temperature or the wrong month, it would rot the seeds in the ground or ruin a harvest before it's picked. And this is another wonder of rain coming at the right time. The Radak on Tehillim chapter 147 points out that this chapter starts off that it's nice to praise God. Boneh Yerushalayim Hashem, God is building Jerusalem, Nidchei Yisrael yekanes, bringing in the exiles. And then we switch to Enu l'Hashem b'todah, let us sing to God songs of praise. Hamachaseh shamayim b'avim, Hamachin la'aretz matar. God covers the heavens with clouds and gets the rain ready for the ground. What's going on over here? We're talking about ingathering of exiles and suddenly we turn to the rain? It's actually the Gemara in Masechet Taanit that tells us, sorry, it's a Pasuk in Michah chapter 5 Pasuk 6 that the Radak quotes: והיה שארית יעקב בקרב עמים רבים , the leftovers of Yaakov amongst the nations will be k'tal me'et Hashem, similar to dew, k'revivim alei esev, and like rain. So the comparison between rain and the ingathering... and the exiles. On both of them it says אשר לא יקוה לאיש , you can't hope to people. People don't bring rain and people don't bring in the exiles. The rain symbolizes that direct connection that God has in a supernatural way to creation. With all the predictors of the weather, they're never right. Rain is something that is specifically God-controlled. The Sforno says that specifically on rain we have to be thankful because these are the constants in the world, but they're really wondrous. There's a beautiful Tzror Hamor, Vayikra 26:19, written by Rav Avraham Saba, 1440 to 1510, one of the exiles from Spain and fled Portugal in the 1490s. He tells us on אם בחקתי תלכו ונתתי גשמיכם בעתם , I will give rain at the right time. That's the keyword: the right time. And he says our mitzvot bring rain because rain is something that is directly connected to what we do. And he says גאוננו ותפארתנו ועוזנו ביד שובינו , what was our glory and our greatness and our power when we were taken captive? He's talking about the Inquisition. That we had the power to bring rain at its time when we prayed and it was well known that they accepted us into their lands because they knew that we had the power to bring rain. He tells a story of Rav Chasdai Crescas, 1340 to 1410, with the King of Aragon, who was which is part of modern day Spain, where this Rav Chasdai Crescas lived. He was the leader of Spanish Jewry. And the Jewish community was physically expelled from the safety of the city walls and barred from returning. The ultimatum was clear. Unless the Jews through their prayer could end the drought and bring water, they would be left exposed to the elements, starvation and so on. And Rav Chasdai gathered everyone in prayer and he opened his drasha with the following words, lanu hamayim, the water is ours, referring to a discussion in Bereishit 26:20 with the argument between the shepherds of Gerar and Yitzchak's shepherds. And the point is lanu hamayim, the water belongs to us. We have the power to bring rain. And sure enough it rained. The power of rain is something directly connected to our tefillot and it is because ultimately Hashem is the one behind the rain. And that's another important thing to concentrate on.

Water is something most of us take for granted. We turn on the tap, and it's just there. But behind that tap is an increasingly strained system that is quietly becoming one of the defining infrastructure challenges of our time. Just in the US, McKinsey estimates we are underinvesting in water assets by about $100 billion annually, with the cost only compounding as more investment is delayed.  The effects are already being seen with over 20% of treated water lost through leaks in pipes that are sometimes 70 years old, generating no revenue for cash-strapped utilities. The record data center and industrial development buoying our economy is now facing major opposition, often due to local water demands. In addition, there are growing concerns and regulations regarding the forever chemicals, known as PFAS, which are showing up in more of our water supply. Today, I'm joined by Guillaume Clairet of H20 Innovation, who has helped build the company into a water treatment powerhouse over the past 25 years. From massive municipal reuse projects to distributed systems serving the critical industrial facilities, H2O is leading the water infrastructure buildout and offers a hopeful outlook on how we can start addressing our water needs. Let's dive in. Links: H20 Innovation Website Guillaume Clairet's LinkedIn Email your feedback to Gil, Guy, Hilary, and Kenny at climatepositive@hasi.com.

  Every career in industrial water treatment is shaped by decisions, mentors, credentials, systems, and the willingness to keep learning. In this special mailbag-style episode, Trace Blackmore, CWT, answers questions from the Scaling UP! Nation about how he entered water treatment, why he started the podcast, what professional credentials have meant to him, and what he is still working to improve. This conversation gives water professionals a practical look at the habits behind a long career in the industry: getting involved early, documenting customer conversations, building strong teams, using repeatable processes, and staying open to new tools like AI. From Family Influence to a Career in Water Treatment Trace shares that his start in water treatment came through his father, who brought him along to accounts after school. His early memories include watching test results change color, learning around hospital accounts, and seeing how water treatment decisions were made in the field. Before entering water treatment full-time, Trace worked in financial services and received strong sales training. However, he realized he was not enjoying the work. His father invited him to become a service technician, which led to a career path that combined technical problem-solving, customer service, sales, and a deep appreciation for the industrial water community. Why Credentials, Associations, and Documentation Matter Trace explains why the Certified Water Technologist credential remains one of the professional accomplishments he values most. He also discusses his LEED GA and LEED AP credentials, his time as a former president of the Association of Water Technologies, and his training as a master facilitator. For professionals building their own careers, the larger lesson is clear: credentials, online presence, and association involvement can shape how customers and peers understand your expertise. Trace also emphasizes the importance of documenting conversations, decisions, and recommendations so teams and customers have a clear record when issues arise. The Podcast, Rising Tide Mastermind, and Raising the Industry Bar Trace reflects on launching the Scaling UP! H2O Podcast in 2017 after encouragement from Charlie Cicchetti and Conor Parrish. What began as a monthly podcast eventually became a weekly resource with structured processes, procedures, and a growing audience of water professionals. He also discusses the honor of having Scaling UP! H2O recognized as the official podcast of the Association of Water Technologies, as well as the creation of Rising Tide Mastermind, which now includes 76 members across 7 groups. Both platforms reflect the same goal: creating spaces where industrial water professionals can learn, connect, and improve together. Technology, AI, and the Next Phase of Learning When asked about the biggest change in the industry, Trace points to data collection, remote monitoring, the Internet of Things, and AI. He remembers a time when system information required an on-site visit. Today, water professionals can review controller data, reports, and trends before arriving in the field. Trace also shares how his Doctor of Business Administration program is changing the way he thinks about research, learning, and long-term growth. His 2026 goals include continuing that academic work, strengthening the podcast's educational value, and giving family and personal commitments proper space on the calendar. This episode is not only a personal reflection. It is a reminder that long-term success in water treatment depends on learning, relationships, systems, and the willingness to keep improving.

What if the water crisis is a lie. Not a misunderstanding. Not a policy failure. A lie. What if the planet you are standing on is generating water right now, deep in the rock beneath your feet, rising through fractures that crack open every single day from the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon, and the reason you do not know about it is that someone decided a long time ago that you should not. Mark Burr is the CEO of Primary Water Technologies. A man who served four years in the United States Marine Corps, earned a degree in Middle East Studies with Phi Beta Kappa honors, worked for the World Bank, spent years as a State Department diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad during the war in Iraq, and then one day discovered a paradigm so old and so thoroughly buried that the people who tried to advance it were dragged into court and defeated not by science but by bond measures and political machines. The paradigm is this. In 1934, a German mining engineer named Stephan Riess hand-dug a well in El Dorado Canyon, Nevada. He had watched water pour out of mine walls his entire career, water that could not be pumped out, water that came from somewhere no rainfall could reach. When they struck the well, the crew had to scramble out of the hole to avoid drowning. The water came up free-flowing and has never stopped. Riess looked at what he had done and said four words. The Earth creates water. He spent the next 51 years proving it. He located over 750 documented wells around the world. He went to Israel and struck flows sufficient for 100,000 people in a valley where geologists said there was nothing. He saved the Sparklets water company in California in 1953 by telling them to drill deeper, and those wells are still producing today under the Danone Group, more than 70 years later. He testified before the United States Senate. He offered to locate primary water wells along the entire future route of the California Aqueduct. He was thrown into court. The bond passed. The aqueduct was built. And Riess spent the rest of his life in Escondido being called a crank by the people who built a multi-billion-dollar water delivery system that is now failing. Mark Burr found Riess's story on the internet and spent six months in due diligence before concluding it was real. What he found was not just a theory. It was a suppression. A peer-reviewed 2006 collection of geophysical studies describes a 400-mile-deep hydro zone inside the earth where hydrogen and oxygen combine under extreme pressure to produce water. Geophysicist Steven Jacobsen at Northwestern University has said the potential exists for more water inside the earth than in all the oceans. NASA found that the largest asteroid in the solar system is 50 percent water by volume. A moon of Saturn produced a hydrothermal fountain three times its own diameter. The earth is a water-generating planet, and the technology to find that water now exists. Burr uses a gamma ray scintillation counter developed in Bavaria, tracing its lineage to a NASA scientist brought to America under Operation Paperclip, and a passive seismic profiling device built by a Russian engineer from the Leningrad School of Mines, patented in the United States in 2002. Together, those two instruments can pinpoint a water-bearing fracture zone before a single drill bit touches the ground. And when they both confirm the same spot, the equation is simple. One plus one equals H2O. Tonight we are going to talk about the science that was buried, the politics that buried it, the technology that may finally dig it back up, and the man who crossed battlefields and boardrooms to get here.

Siden vi optog dette afsnit, så ER Artemis II kommet i luften, rundt om månen og ned på jorden igen! Det taler vi naturligvis om i et kommende afsnit. Karina's noter til dette afsnit: 0: Der var lige en lille meteor over USA. 1: Den der asteroide der IKKE rammer Jorden i 2032 (den rammer så heller ikke Månen)2: Artemis II missionen3: ESA introduces space environment ‘health index'4: Europæiske Aerospace giganter slår sig sammen5: Ny Komet6: Oversigt over kommende kometer (med link!)7: Sidste nyt fra 3I/ATLAS—————————-1: Den der asteroide der IKKE rammer Jorden i 2032Fra Michael Linden-VørnleAsteroiden kommer...… og den skal være så velkommen!I starten af 2025 blev der talt og skrevet en del om den ca. 60 meter store asteroide 2024 YR4, fordi der havde vist sig en betydelig risiko for, at den ville ramme Jorden d. 22. december 2032. Vedholdende observationer af asteroiden afslørede dog, at der alligevel ikke var risiko for en kollision med Jorden. Til gengæld var der stadig en ret høj sandsynlighed for at 2024 YR4 ville ramme Månen.Et nedslag af en ca. 60 meter stor asteroide på Månen ville være særdeles interessant at observere for at lære mere om den kraterdannelse på Månen og andre himmellegemer, der netop er resultatet af nedslag af bl.a. større eller mindre asteroider. Nogle mente dog også, at en kollision mellem 2024 YR4 og Månen d. 22. december 2032 kunne udgøre en risiko for os på Jorden, da brudstykker fra nedslaget kunne slynges væk fra Månen og ramme vores planet.Uanset om man mener, at et nedslag af 2024 YR4 på Månen er en god eller dårlig ting, så er en kollision med vores nærmeste nabo i rummet nu altså også blevet taget af programmet for asteroidens besøg i 2032. Nye observationer lavet med James Webb-rumteleskopet har vist, at asteroiden ikke vil ramme Månen, men med størst sandsynlighed passere forbi i en afstand på mere end 20.000 km. Asteroider som 2024 YR4 er byggeaffald fra Solsystemets barndom og er derfor videnskabeligt uhyre interessante for at lære os mere om, hvordan vores planetsystem er blevet dannet og har udviklet sig. Når de altså vel at mærke er så elskværdige ikke at ramme vores planet. Så 2024 YR4 skal være mere end velkommen til at smutte forbi d. 22. december 2032.Billedet her viser 2024 YR4 optaget af James Webb-rumteleskopet d. 26. februar 2026. Billedet er gengivet i negativ farveskala – altså med lyse objekter (asteroiden) gengivet med mørke farver. Asteroiden er også markeret med en grøn ring.Læs mere hos ESA:https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Planetary_Defence/Asteroid_2024_YR4_will_not_impact_the_MoonCredit:NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, M. Micheli (ESA NEOCC)Den der asteroide der IKKE rammer jorden i 2032 rammer måske månen. -----------------------------------------2: Artemis IIhttps://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/artemis/Orion is developed to be capable of sending astronauts to the Moon and is a crucial step toward eventually sending crews on to Mars.The Orion spacecraft will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry and sustain the crew on Artemis missions to the Moon and return them safely to Earth. Orion will launch on NASA's new heavy-lift rocket, the SLS (Space Launch System).SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and cargo directly to the Moon in a single launch. The Artemis II mission will carry astronauts farther from Earth and closer to the Moon than any human has been in over half a century. From this unique vantage point and environment, the Artemis II crew will work with scientists on Earth to facilitate science investigations to inform future human spaceflight missions. Det er altså kun et flyby. Der lander ingen mennesker på månen i denne omgang."The Artemis II astronauts will be the first humans to fly by the Moon in more than 50 years and will serve as scientific ambassadors to our nearest neighbor.On the journey to the Moon and back, the Orion capsule will fly by the far side of the Moon — the side that always faces away from Earth. During this three-hour period, astronauts will analyze and photograph geologic features, such as impact craters and ancient lava flows. They will rely on the extensive geology training they received in the classroom and in Moon-like places on Earth to describe nuances in shapes, textures, and colors — the type of information that reveals the geologic history of an area. These skills will be critical to exploring the Moon's South Pole region through future missions."Hvad Michael Linden-Vørnle siger om sagen:NASA har i dag, d. 12. marts, meddelt, at Artemis II-missionen bliver klar til at komme af sted mod Månen i starten af april. Her skal de fire astronauter, chefen Reid Wiseman, piloten Victor Glover samt de to missionsspecialister Christina Koch og Jeremy Hansen (sidstnævnte fra Canada), i løbet af ti dage flyve ud til Månen, rundt om Månens bagside og hjem igen.Udmeldingen kommer som konklusionen på en minutiøs gennemgang af hele missionens parathed til at gennemføre rejsen – det såkaldte Flight Readiness Review (FRR), der er blevet gennemført over to dage i denne uge. Det var oprindelig planen, at Artemis II skulle være taget af sted mod Månen i starten af februar, men utætheder i systemet på affyringsrampen til tankning af brændstof (flydende brint) forhindrede dette. Udfordringerne med utæthederne blev håndteret i løbet af februar og herefter blev der fokuseret på starten af marts for at få Artemis II af sted. Denne mulighed glippede dog også, da der viste sig et problem med et system i rakettens øverste trin, der bruger helium til at sætte tryk på brændstoftankene. Dette problem kunne ikke løses på affyringsrampen, så for to uger siden blev raketten kørt tilbage til den store montagehal – Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB).Artemis-programmet er baseret på NASAs nye måneraket kaldet SLS: Space Launch System og rumskibet Orion. SLS og Orion har allerede fløjet en tur til Månen, men det var en ubemandet testflyvning kaldet Artemis I, der blev gennemført i slutningen af 2022. Ifølge NASA er problemet med helium-systemet løst og SLS med Orion vil efter planen blive kørt ud til affyringsrampen igen på næste torsdag, d. 19. marts.Ifølge NASA er der i alt seks opsendelsesmuligheder startende fra d. 1. april (d. 2. april dansk tid). Så hvis alt går vel, vil mennesker igen være på vej til Månen om mindre end tre uger. Billedet her viser Artemis II d. 18. januar i år, hvor SLS og Orion første gang blev kørt ud til affyringsrampe 39B på Kennedy Space Center i Florida.————3: ESA introduces space environment ‘health index'https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_Debris/Sounding_the_alarm_ESA_introduces_space_environment_health_index----------4: Europæiske Aerospace giganter slår sig sammenEn virksomhed med 25.000 ansatte spredt over Europa og de tre virksomheder Airbus, Thales og Leonardo som ‘forældre' skal sættes i verden for at levere et robust europæisk alternativ til amerikanske rumfartsvirksomheder.https://europeanspaceflight.com/airbus-thales-and-leonardo-agree-to-create-european-space-behemoth/------------5: Ny Komethttps://www.sciencealert.com/a-newly-discovered-comet-may-soon-appear-bright-in-our-skiesA newly discovered comet has astronomers excited, with the potential to be a spectacular sight in early April.C/2026 A1 (MAPS) was spotted by a team of four amateur astronomers with a remotely operated telescope in the Atacama desert on January 13.It quickly became apparent the newly discovered object was a member of a group called the Kreutz sungrazing comets. These include many of the brightest and most spectacular comets ever seen.Great story about originsOverall, it's too soon to tell. If – and that's a big if – the comet survives its closest approach to the Sun (known as perihelion), it could put on a great show in early to mid-April.If it holds together, it might get bright enough to be visible in broad daylight. Even if that doesn't happen, the SOHO spacecraft will provide great images of the comet.Og øv, den er nemmest at se fra den sydlige himmelkugle.--------------------------6: Oversigt over kommende Kometer:https://starwalk.space/en/news/upcoming-comets--------------------7: Sidste nyt fra 3I/ATLASALMA Detects Extremely Abundant Alcohol in Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLASNew research from ALMA Observatory reveals that 3I/ATLAS is packed with an unusually large amount of the organic molecule methanol – more than almost all known comets in our own solar system.In 3I/ATLAS, methanol is unusually abundant, making up around 8 percent of the comet's vapor, compared to around 2 percent in solar system comets. In our short time viewing the object, scientists have found some interesting things and unusual chemistry. Of particular interest is that it contains molecules that are key to life, and in abundance compared to most Solar System comets."We report the detection of methanol (CH3OH) toward interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS using the Atacama Compact Array of the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) on UT 2025 August 28, September 18 and 22, and October 1, and of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) on September 12 and 15," a recent preprint paper explains."The CH3OH production rate increased sharply from August through October, including an uptick near the inner edge of the H2O sublimation zone at r H = 2 au. Compared to comets measured to date at radio wavelengths, the derived CH3OH/HCN ratios in 3I/ATLAS of 124+30 −34 and 79+11−14 on September 12 and 15, respectively, are among the most enriched values measured in any comet, surpassed only by anomalous Solar System comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)."To be clear, these molecules are not themselves indication of life on the comet. We've had enough of the (unnecessary and outlandish) hypothesis that 3I/ATLAS is an alien spacecraft, we don't want people thinking that the comet contains life either. But they are considered so-called "building blocks" of life."Life as we know it requires building blocks, such as amino acids," NASA explains, "and hydrogen cyanide is one of the most important and versatile molecules needed to form amino acids." Similarly, methanol can be used to form more complex molecules like sugars, amino acids, and DNA/RNA precursors. “It seems really chemically implausible that you could go on a path to very high chemical complexity without producing methanol,” Martin Cordiner, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland and author on the paper, explained to New Scientist.

AWT's in‑person technical training is a keystone for developing competent water treaters. Yet classroom knowledge only matters when it survives the drive home and emerges later in the field. In this second conversation with Dan Merritt, CWT—National Sales Manager at CH2O Inc. and head of AWT's education committee—Trace Blackmore uncovers how stories, math, and memorable mistakes turn theory into intuition.  Why training keeps evolving  Dan explains that the Association of Water Technologies rewrites courses every year. Instructors refine content, delivery and demonstrations, not for novelty's sake, but because boilers and cooling towers rarely behave like textbook examples. Recognizing that multiple chemical reactions operate simultaneously helps prevent chasing the wrong problem. Updated program design and operations classes now bridge the gap between fundamentals and advanced topics. Specialized modules for sales, membrane/softener maintenance, ASSE 1280 compliance, and a two‑tier wastewater curriculum ensure that attendees can match coursework to their experience and role.  Lessons from experience: paperwork, PPE and people  Anecdotes ground the theory. Dan recounts losing his Certified Water Technologist status for five years after assuming an office manager filed his recertification paperwork. He re‑sat the exam in 2016 and now tells every candidate: verify your own paperwork. Another incident involved a sulfuric acid injection line that still held pressure; a line blew while he was replacing a fitting, covering his jeans in acid—his apron protected his torso, but he still had six‑inch holes in his pants. "Wear your PPE" is his first piece of advice to new technicians. Beyond safety, Dan highlights that water treatment careers demand communication and management skills. Technical strengths don't automatically translate into leadership; becoming a mentor and training others brings lasting fulfillment.    Developing a growth mindset For new practitioners, Dan recommends learning from whoever will teach you and embracing the "nerdy" parts of the job—math, chemistry and calculations translate directly into customer value. After the first year it's easy to plateau, so he urges veterans to intentionally take on new technologies such as wastewater treatment or chlorine dioxide and to share knowledge with younger colleagues. This industry can't be automated or offshored; field troubleshooting will always require hands‑on expertise. Even in sales roles, success comes from offering solutions grounded in a deep technical foundation.  Looking ahead  The episode closes with a call to prepare for AWT's upcoming training seminars (March 10–13 and November 11–14). Attendees should bring system data and be ready to teach one takeaway to their teams when they return. Scaling Up! H2O encourages listeners to invest in their careers, meet peers and instructors, and approach each technical challenge as an opportunity to raise the bar for the entire industry.

Quitting is the failure."  "The water treatment industry is not something that you can do remotely. There is always going to be the need for people to troubleshoot water systems."  "Being a mentor is a great way to take that experience that we have and translate it—to give it away to those in our company."  "Don't worry about making mistakes. We all make mistakes, and that's how you learn."  "I swore up and down that I would never be a salesman. Now I'm the sales manager because I realized that selling solutions grounded in technical knowledge isn't about pushing products—it's about helping people."    Connect with Dan Merritt, CWT  Email: dmerritt@ch2o.com   Website: .https://www.ch2o.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-merritt-cwt-18413819/.    Guest Resources Mentioned   Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't by Simon Sinek (Paperback)    The AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, Smarter Decisions by Geoff Woods, AI Thought Leadership   The Accidental Superpower: Ten Years On by Peter Zeihan (Narrator, Author)   The Shattering Peace: Old Man's War, Book 7 by John Scalzi (Author), Tavia Gilbert (Narrator), Audible Studios (Publisher)  Education Offerings – AWT  Become Certified – AWT    Scaling UP!

In this episode I'm joined by Nigel Beach and we explore how much our environment shapes our mental state.We often try to think our way into feeling better, but our nervous system responds first to what we sense. Light, temperature, hydration, and contact with nature all send signals to the body about whether we are safe or under threat. When we change those inputs, our state naturally follows.This conversation is full of simple, practical ideas you can apply straight away at home. Nothing extreme, just small adjustments that help your body spend more time calm, clear and present.We talk about hydration and how H2O affects energy and mood, why modern lighting can keep the brain alert at the wrong times, and how sauna and cold exposure build resilience rather than stress. We also dive into grounding and why reconnecting to natural signals helps regulate the nervous system.The big message from this episode is that regulation is not only a mindset practice. It is something we can design into our daily life.In this episode we cover: • What nervous system regulation actually feels like day to day • How your home can either support recovery or keep you wired • The impact of hydration on focus, mood and energy • Lighting habits that improve sleep and recovery • Sauna and cold exposure as resilience training for the body • Grounding and reconnecting to nature • Small environmental changes that create lasting calmIf you enjoy this episode, share it with someone who would benefit and let us know your biggest takeaway

Up to two-thirds of the human body is made of water — that's a lot of H2O! But where does all that water actually live in our anatomy, and why is it so important? In this episode, Rachelle and Nicole take a macro and a micro view of water in our bodies — where it lives, how it's organized, and how it keeps us moving with ease. They zoom in on the extracellular matrix and discuss some unexpected ways that tissue hydration contributes to stiffness and pain, and how massage therapists can impact the organization of water to create meaningful change for our clients.

Veda Austin has photographed over 70,000 water samples using her unique crystallography method, and what she's discovered challenges everything we think we know about reality. Water showed a woman's pregnancy before she knew she was pregnant. It revealed a seed's potential by displaying the full-grown plant instead of the seed itself. It captured a man's thought about pheasant hunting from thousands of miles away. And it may hold ancient language encoded in repeating symbols that appear in frozen water around the world. This episode reveals why your thoughts literally restructure the water in your body, how the last word you speak before drinking becomes water's "welcoming committee," and why distilled water can't hold healing information the way mineral-rich water can. You'll learn why becoming still allows you to see your reflection in your body's internal waters, how water exists in a fourth phase beyond solid, liquid, and gas, and why understanding water means understanding our own untapped potential as human beings. Discover: • The freezing method: how freezing water to liquid crystal stage for exactly 5 minutes 30 seconds reveals three-dimensional patterns that prove water's intelligence  • The welcoming committee principle: why saying "thank you" before drinking water changes its molecular structure and how it enters your cells  • The predictive phenomenon: how water shows future events, pregnancy, and even injuries before they happen, suggesting it exists outside linear time  • The hydroglyph language: repeating symbols that appear in water samples worldwide, resembling ancient hieroglyphs and recognized by AI as actual language  • The healing word protocol: how writing an inspired word, freezing water over it for 30 seconds, and eating the crystallography has cured insomnia in 10 days  Find Veda Austin: Website: https://vedaaustin.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vedaaustin_water Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction  7:02 - Near-Death Experience & The Path to Water Research  12:40 - Discovering Alkaline Water's Healing Properties  16:53 - Glass Purging & The Body's Intelligence  25:36 - Sacred Geometry & Pyramidal Water Experiments  27:13 - Discovering the Freezing Method & First Hand Image  34:22 - Remote Thought Experiments: Pheasant Hunting Vision  41:00 - Hydroglyphs: Water's Repeating Symbol Language  43:29 - Water Predicting Pregnancy Before Detection  48:54 - Seeds & Potential: Water Shows the Future Plant  56:27 - How Your Thoughts Change Your Body's Water  1:00:00 - The Last Word Before Drinking: Water's Welcoming Committee Learn more about your ad choices.

Tras el Big Bang, solo había hidrógeno, helio y un poco de litio. El oxígeno, necesario para hacer agua (H2O), tuvo que "cocinarse" en el interior de las primeras estrellas y ser expulsado al espacio después, cuando éstas murieron. Esto convierte a este descubrimiento en la reserva más grande y, sobre todo, la más antigua de agua que se conoce hasta la fecha. El agua, por lo tanto, no es una rareza moderna; es una parte intrínseca de la historia antigua del cosmos. El agua que han detectado no es líquida, como la de nuestros mares, sino una niebla "espesa" y "caliente" (en términos cósmicos) que envuelve por completo al agujero negro. En el cuásar APM 08279+5255, el agua no puede congelarse. La energía del agujero negro la mantiene en estado gaseoso, excitada, emitiendo señales de radio que han viajado por el universo durante 12.000 millones de años hasta llegar al espectrómetro Z-Spec en el Observatorio Submilimétrico de Caltech, en Hawái, y al interferómetro de Plateau de Bure en los Alpes franceses. Es gracias a estos instrumentos que hemos podido "leer" la firma química del agua a través del abismo del tiempo.

In this episode, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD unpacks the deep spiritual and scientific meaning behind eternal living water—the same water Jesus offered to the woman at the well. From ancient parables to quantum biology, you'll explore how water is more than just hydration—it's a living, intelligent bridge between dimensions, memory, healing, and divine consciousness.Dr. Lee begins with “The Parable of the First Drop,” a soul-stirring story of how water volunteered to carry the memory of Source into form. From there, he takes you on a journey through the multidimensional architecture of water—from H2O to hydroplasmic ether to crystalline plasma and the Christic liquid light of your inner Avatar self.You'll discover how consciousness binds to water, how trauma gets imprinted into your cellular water, and how sacred sound—especially the Anuhazi language—can restructure water back to its original divine coherence. This isn't just metaphysical poetry—it's the science of remembrance and the foundation of deep healing and DNA activation.This transmission weaves together scripture, physics, indigenous wisdom, and personal practice to illuminate the truth:Heal the water, and the water will heal us—because we are water.

We all enjoy a nice crisp glass of water when we're feeling dehydrated — which makes sense, because our bodies need it most of all, so enjoying it is an evolved behavior. However, some people — notably wellness influencers — have determined that good old H2O is actually not a good thing at all (who knew?); and that what you really need is their own concoction that's actually an entirely different molecule: structured water.

What if HR wasn't the department you dreaded — but the partner that helped your team thrive?  In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore welcomes Tia Amundson, HR Director at HOH Water Technology, to explore how human resources can be a strategic driver of talent, culture, and profitability in the water treatment industry.  Redefining HR's Role  Tia shares her journey into water treatment and how she built HOH's HR department from the ground up. Instead of treating HR as a compliance function, she reframed it as a leadership partner—focused on employee connections, transparent communication, and culture building. From structured check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days to coaching managers and bridging communication gaps, her approach ensures employees feel supported, heard, and connected.  Culture as Competitive Advantage  HOH's success story demonstrates how culture directly shapes business outcomes. Tia explains how open-book management, employee engagement surveys, and intentional recognition programs have increased retention, profitability, and trust across the organization. By aligning HR strategies with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), HOH has cultivated an environment where employees thrive and deliver exceptional service.  Talent, Retention, and the Future of HR  Finding and retaining the right people remains one of the industry's biggest challenges. Tia outlines the importance of a clear employee value proposition, authentic recruiting practices, and a commitment to work-life balance. She also discusses how HR will evolve over the next decade, balancing automation with the irreplaceable human element of caring for people.  Dream Management and Employee Growth  As a Certified Dream Manager, Tia integrates personal growth with professional development. By helping employees pursue their own dreams, HOH has fostered deeper engagement, loyalty, and breakthroughs that extend far beyond the workplace.  Conclusion  For leaders in the water treatment industry, this episode challenges you to view HR not as a cost center, but as a powerful lever for long-term success. Strategic HR practices can reduce turnover, build culture, and give your organization a competitive edge.  Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps  02:28 - Trace Blackmore welcomes listeners, shares personal “sharpen the saw” growth theme  04:53 - Sharpen-the-saw story  08:10 - Water You Know with James McDonald  10:05 - Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals   13:15 - Interview with a friend and Rising Tide Mastermind member Tia Amundson, HR Director, HOH Water Technology   13:30 - HR as employee connection + leadership alignment, not a “principal's office”  16:32 - From hiring to long-term care  19:14 - Coaching managers  23:49 - Turnover → P&L  33:12 – Recruitment Realities   44:03 – Dream Manager Program  48:11 – Overcoming Skepticism   50:02 – The Future of HR  51:13 – Start/Stop for HR  52:50 – Foundational operating system (EOS) first    Quotes  “HR isn't about punishment—it's about building trust, culture, and strategic advantage.”  “Pour into your employees, and they will pour into their work.
