Podcasts about nitrates

You think you know what's in your beef? You don't.This week, I sat down with Anthony Thomas — a 15-year professional rodeo cowboy turned direct-to-consumer rancher who's spent his life raising and butchering beef across multiple countries. He ran away from home at 12, landed on a million-acre cattle station in the Australian outback, and learned to source real food straight from the land long before he ever set foot in an American grocery store.And when he did? He knew something was off. The meat smelled strange. It felt sticky. It left him bloated and foggy. So he started asking why.Here's what blew my mind: Anthony says the grass-fed-versus-grain debate is a distraction. He argues the real problem isn't what the cow eats — it's what gets pumped into the beef after slaughter. Liquids. Nitrates. Red dye. He claims a single pound of grocery-store ground beef can carry the DNA of over 400 animals.Then he dropped a bomb: most "grass-fed, grass-finished" beef on store shelves, he says, is mathematically impossible at scale — and a lot of your "Product of USA" beef may never have come from the USA at all.He also reveals the dead-simple tell that exposes fake grass-fed beef in seconds (hint: look at the fat).After this conversation, you'll never read a meat label the same way again.What we talk about:How running away from home at 12 turned a wild kid into a cowboyWhy your store-bought beef smells sticky and leaves you bloatedThe real reason it might NOT be the grain making you sickDry-aging vs. wet-aging — and why store beef ferments in plasticWhy "grass-fed, grass-finished" barely exists at grocery-store scaleThe one-second fat test that exposes fake grass-fed beefWhere your "Product of USA" beef may actually come fromHow to vet a local rancher before you trust your family's foodListen now on all platforms: Hydrate With Tracy Duhs.Episode Links & Resources:Website: https://www.thomascattleandcatering.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/athorsepower/Connect with Tracy:Website: ⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/⁠⁠Hydration Shop: ⁠⁠https://sanctuarysd.com/⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/Flow FAM Community: ⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/⁠

Les nitrates sont de plus en plus populaires dans le monde du sport d’endurance. On les retrouve naturellement dans certains légumes comme la betterave, les épinards ou la roquette, mais ils sont surtout connus sous forme de jus de betterave concentré utilisé par plusieurs coureurs, cyclistes et triathlètes. Mais est-ce que les nitrates améliorent réellement la performance ? Et surtout, comment les utiliser de façon efficace pour en tirer un bénéfice lors de vos compétitions ? Dans cet épisode, je poursuis ma mini-série sur les suppléments pour sportifs en abordant les nitrates, un supplément de catégorie A selon la classification de l’AIS. Comme toujours, je vous rappelle que les suppléments ne remplacent jamais les bases : une alimentation adaptée, une bonne récupération, un sommeil de qualité et une stratégie nutritionnelle bien planifiée demeurent les éléments les plus importants pour optimiser vos performances.

It's early June, and the west, as well as the east, are a tale of extremes: dry soils and surprisingly strong nitrogen levels in Ontario, flooding in parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, drought concerns in the U.S., and plenty of crop management questions in between. From late-season phosphorus responses in wheat to stripe rust explosions,... Read More

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, Corey sits down with Zach Smith (The Stock Cropper), James Epp, and Matt Boerman — better known as The Loeb Rangers — for a candid and in-depth conversation about the future of agriculture, conservation practices, and what farmers can do to improve profitability while protecting soil and water resources. The group shares how The Loeb Rangers started as a simple Snapchat conversation between frustrated farmers who wanted to discuss poor farming practices, erosion, nitrogen management, and conservation solutions happening across Iowa's Des Moines Loeb region. What began as a private peer group quickly evolved into a growing movement focused on honest conversations around agriculture, sustainability, and practical solutions that work at scale. The discussion covers: Strip-till and no-till systems Cover crop adoption and management Nitrogen timing and in-season application Water quality and nitrate concerns Soil erosion and long-term land stewardship Farm profitability through reduced input costs The economics behind regenerative agriculture Challenges with ag policy and regulation Spray drift and pesticide stewardship The role of leadership within agriculture How farmers can proactively avoid future regulation Why knowing your numbers matters more than ever The Loeb Rangers explain how they've implemented conservation systems on their own operations while still maintaining profitability and efficiency. They also discuss the realities of public perception, working with Des Moines Water Works, and why communication between farmers, consumers, and policymakers is critical moving forward. This episode is a raw, honest, and thought-provoking discussion about balancing production agriculture with long-term sustainability while keeping family farms profitable for future generations.

Across headlines, documentaries, and social media posts, nitrate-cured processed meats are often talked about with the same language once used for cigarettes. Bacon, hot dogs, deli turkey, pepperoni—foods many people grew up eating—are now linked in people's minds with colon cancer and claims that nitrates are “poisoning” us. Meanwhile, Americans consume billions and billions of dollars of processed meat each year. So what gives? How should we think about nitrates and processed meats? And are “uncured” meats really safer? Join us, two registered dietitians, as we explore what the research actually says about the connection between processed meats and cancer risk. Want to support the show and get bonus episodes?

Avec 4Endurance, on a constaté que les compléments alimentaires occupent une place croissante dans le quotidien des traileurs, des athlètes élites jusqu'aux pratiquants de niveau récréatif. Mais derrière cette popularité, les promesses sont souvent floues et les preuves scientifiques très inégales selon les produits. Dans cet épisode, je te propose de faire le tri à partir de la littérature scientifique en m'intéressant à quatre compléments largement utilisés en trail et en ultra trail, le fer, les nitrates, la créatine et les antioxydants, avec en bonus une rubrique consacrée à la vitamine D. Pour chacun, on revient sur le mécanisme physiologique ciblé, ce que disent réellement les méta analyses récentes, et les conditions concrètes dans lesquelles une supplémentation peut être pertinente ou totalement inutile. On parle transport de l'oxygène et hémoglobine pour le fer, efficacité musculaire et jus de betterave pour les nitrates, phosphocréatine et efforts intenses pour la créatine, stress oxydatif et récupération pour les polyphénols et anthocyanes. Tu comprendras pourquoi la même supplémentation peut être très efficace chez certains profils et sans aucun effet chez d'autres, pourquoi le niveau d'entraînement et le statut physiologique de départ changent tout, et pourquoi certains compléments peuvent même devenir contre productifs lorsqu'ils sont utilisés en chronique.

We're talking all about nitrate management and placement as important factors for reducing nitrogen loss to water on today's episode of the Advancing Nitrogen Smart Podcast series. Different forms of nitrogen have their own potential for loss. How does nitrogen already in the nitrate form differ from ammonium for example? How does basic soil science slow down or speed up nitrogen transformation? Why can't nitrates be easily stabilized in the fall in Minnesota? How do other factors like pH affect nitrogen transformation? This and much more in today's discussion. Guests:Brad Carlson, Extension educator (Mankato)Dan Kaiser, Extension nutrient management specialist (St. Paul)Additional resources:Nitrogen placement: What MN farmers should know about depth, incorporation, loss pathways, and moreHow 4R Nutrient Stewardship can help Minnesota farmersFour things I've learned about nitrogen management for corn based on a decade of research in MinnesotaSix observations from six years of tile sampling for nitrates in southeast MinnesotaNitrogen BMPs and nitrate water quality issues in southeast Minnesota: What should growers be thinking about?--- For the latest nutrient management information, subscribe to the Nutrient Management Podcast.

Today on the Nutrient Management Podcast we discuss phosphorus with experts from Minnesota and across the Midwest. Why are Midwest phosphorus guidelines different from state to state? Are Minnesota's current P guidelines satisfactory - or do states' P guidelines need revision? Would a P-rate calculator that incorporates economics be a useful tool, similar to nitrogen's MRTN calculator? What 'Phosphorus & the 4R's' tips and suggestions do our Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois and South Dakota panelists recommend for area farmers? Nitrates and water quality issues continue to be top-of-mind - would switching P sources be beneficial? What new and ongoing phosphorus-related research projects are panelists watching?

In part two, a recent Environment Southland report has shown widespread degradation of Southlands drinking water. Nitrates are a risk to human health. The higher the nitrate, the greater the health risk. Then, finally, Wallace has to eat humble pie. After decrying the practice of reversing into car parks, a road safety advocate schools him on why it's the safest option.

You bought it to protect your family. You fill it up, watch the water drip through, and feel like you've done something good. But here's the reality: Brita is NSF-certified to remove five contaminants. The Environmental Working Group just found 324 in U.S. drinking water. That gap is the problem. PFAS (the forever chemicals) have been detected in the drinking water of over 200 million Americans. Hexavalent chromium, the chemical from Erin Brockovich, has no federal limit and is present in water systems across all 50 states. Nitrates. Microplastics. Pharmaceuticals. Fluoride. Brita addresses essentially none of them. In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez breaks down exactly what's in your tap water, what Brita actually filters, and what it's leaving behind. Then he gives you six evidence-based alternatives across three price tiers—so you can make the best decision for your budget and your household. In this episode, Dr. G breaks down: • Why EPA regulations are decades out of date—and why that matters for your family • The six PFAS chemicals the EPA finally regulated in 2024—and why there are 5,000 more they don't touch • The best pitcher upgrade under $60 that removes over 365 contaminants Brita ignores • Under-the-sink options with 50x the filter life and clinical-grade PFAS removal • The reverse osmosis systems Dr. G actually uses—and why they're the gold standard This isn't about fear. It's about knowing what's real so you can take control of one of the biggest daily exposures most people never think about.

What if eating the right vegetables could make exercise feel easier while simultaneously lowering your blood pressure? In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, host Chuck Carroll is joined by metabolic health expert Cyrus Khambatta of Evolution Health to break down the science behind nitrate-rich vegetables and how they dramatically improve blood flow, oxygen delivery, endurance, and recovery. You'll learn how nitrates convert into nitric oxide, why foods like beets, arugula, spinach, and celery outperform supplements, and how simple dietary changes can enhance athletic performance — even if you're not an athlete. We also clear up confusion about nitrates in processed meats, explain why mouthwash can block benefits, and reveal the ideal timing and amounts for maximum results. In this episode, you'll discover: • How nitrates lower blood pressure naturally • Why nitric oxide improves endurance & oxygen efficiency • The best nitrate-rich vegetables to eat daily • How nitrates support mitochondria & cellular energy • When and how much to eat for exercise performance • Why nitrates from vegetables ≠ nitrates from deli meats

Welcome to today's episode, where we're diving into the world of nitrate medications—one of the cornerstone therapies in cardiovascular care. Whether you're a pharmacist, nurse, med student, or just curious about how medications keep the heart happy, nitrates are fascinating because of their unique mechanism and versatile clinical uses. Nitrates work by releasing nitric oxide, a powerful molecule that relaxes smooth muscle and dilates blood vessels. This vasodilation primarily reduces venous return to the heart, lowering preload and myocardial oxygen demand, and at higher doses, can also decrease afterload. For patients with angina, this means less chest pain, improved exercise tolerance, and better quality of life. In this episode, we'll cover the most commonly used nitrates—from sublingual nitroglycerin for rapid relief of acute angina, to isosorbide dinitrate and mononitrate for chronic management. We'll discuss how their formulations, onset, and duration of action affect clinical use, and why concepts like tolerance and nitrate-free intervals are critical to understand. We'll also explore important drug interactions, including why combining nitrates with PDE5 inhibitors can be dangerous, and highlight practical tips for patient counseling and monitoring. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear picture of how and when nitrates are used, and the key pearls every clinician should know to maximize benefit while minimizing risk. So whether you're reviewing for boards, prepping for clinical rotations, or just brushing up on cardiovascular pharmacology, stay tuned—we're about to break down nitrates in a way that's simple, practical, and memorable.

Ireland has secured a three-year extension to the controversial nitrates derogation. The EU has voted to extend the Nitrates derogation up to the end of 2028. The current derogation was due to expire at the end of the month. Farming organisations have welcomed the decision, saying it is sensible and recognises the country's grass-based system. Minister for Agriculture Martin Heydon says an extension will be positive for farmers here. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Michael McNamara, Scariff-based Ireland South MEP and Eddie Punch, Former ICSA General Secretary, Cratloe Farmer.

The Nitrates Directive is an EU law for farms that puts limits on the amount of fertiliser including slurry that farmers can use on their land, and effectively the number of livestock that they can have, to protect water from pollution by agriculture.ie.We debate this with Elaine McGoff, Head of Advocacy at An Taisce and also Ciaran Mullooly, Independent Ireland MEP.

Michael McGrath, European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, outlines his key targets ahead of his appearance before the Oireachtas EU Affairs Committee later today.

This week on the Garage Gym Athlete Podcast, we're running three completely different scientific studies through the grinder—and none of us saw each other's ahead of time. Expect surprises, arguments, and some actionable training takeaways you can start using immediately. Jerred digs into a kettlebell snatch protocol that boosted VO₂ max without running. Joe explores how dietary nitrates (think beets, spinach, arugula) improve isometric endurance by 25%. And Dave breaks down a 2025 study showing how heavy strength work dramatically improves running economy, durability, and time-to-exhaustion in well-trained runners. We also kick things off with an update on last week's isometric training experiment—spoiler: it was brutal—and end with a practical roundtable on supplements we actually use. If you train in a garage gym, want science-backed performance strategies, and enjoy a little misery mixed with progress…this one's for you. 00:00 – Intro: This week's study mash-up 00:30 – Isometric training update & why Jerred is wrecked 02:25 – Immovable objects, heavy loads & iso strategy 03:47 – Dave digs into CNS fatigue from the iso session 04:52 – Transition: Let's get into the studies 05:16 – Study 1: Strength training improves running performance 08:48 – 31% improvement in time-to-exhaustion 10:27 – Jerred on heavy lifting for runners 12:04 – Joe on balancing strength, speed & endurance 13:56 – The truth about soreness & "gaining mass" fears 15:28 – Study 2: Nitrates boost isometric endurance (Joe) 18:48 – How much beets/spinach you actually need 19:26 – Joe's real-life beet adventure (never pickled…) 20:53 – Study 3: Increase VO₂ max by 6% with kettlebells (Jerred) 21:16 – VO₂ max simplified — oxygen demand & oxygen debt 23:16 – The 15s on / 15s off kettlebell snatch protocol 25:17 – Circuit training vs kettlebell intervals 27:39 – How to implement the protocol in real training 30:36 – Kettlebells vs running for conditioning 33:32 – Supplement roundtable: what we actually take 34:29 – Joe: nitrates & tart cherry 36:05 – Dave: creatine, protein & coffee 39:28 – Jerred: electrolytes & hydration 42:45 – Are electrolytes supplements or just life? 44:22 – Closing thoughts & "Kill Comfort" reminder

Jerry spoke to Minister for Agriculture, Martin Heydon, who is visiting Kerry today. He will meet with farmers, and attend the Listowel Food Fair. He says he will fight to keep the nitrates derogation, and has advice for owners of birds with the latest bird flu outbreak. Information on registering bird in your home can be found at https://www.gov.ie/en/department-of-agriculture-food-and-the-marine/services/poultry-register/

Ireland's derogation runs out at the end of this year and farmers and the government are very worried that it wont be renewed, Pat O'Toole, Political Correspondent for the Farmers Journal has more.

Noel Bardon, news correspondent with the Irish Farmers' Journal discusses rising concerns over the extent of bird flu outbreak. Jerry also spoke to Noel Murphy, ICMSA National Dairy chair from Milltown. Farmers are concerned that the end is nearing for Ireland’s opt-out of the EU Nitrates Directive. Under the directive, farmers have to ensure that the total amount of nitrogen from organic manure applied to their land does not exceed 170kg per hectare per year. Since the 1990s, there’s been a derogation for Irish farmers which allows some of them to use up to 250kg.

Minister for Agriculture, Food, Fisheries and the Marine, Martin Heydon, discusses Ireland's current standing in negotiating a nitrates derogation for 2026.

Reporter, Peter O'Connell travels to Fermoy in East Cork where the Irish Farmers Association held a meeting to address concerns over the retention of a workable nitrates derogation.

It's no secret that I believe occupation therapy is entering its prevention era. We are starting to leverage our skillset not after a terrible health incident has occurred, but at the first sign of trouble. As I imagine this not-too-distant reality, there is one deeply personal area that I am so eager to see us shift our energy toward: Cancer prevention. Across the healthcare community, we are learning more and more about the specific lifestyle and environmental factors that put people at a higher risk for cancer. Case in point: My own county in rural Nebraska, where above-average pediatric cancer rates have been associated with high levels of nitrates in our water.On today's podcast, we are lucky to be joined by Dr. Jesse E. Bell, one of the world's leading experts on water and human health and the Claire M. Hubbard Professor of Water, Climate, and Health in the University of Nebraska Medical Center's Department of Environmental, Agricultural, and Occupational Health.Dr. Bell—who also is the author of the paper we will discuss during this episode—will help us understand where the science stands on the connection between nitrates and multiple health conditions. We'll talk through ways the medical community can provide education on these risks—as well as the simple solutions OTs could potentially bring to high-risk families to help address this basic ADL safety concern. This episode is meant to highlight the cutting edge of what's becoming possible—where new large datasets on environmental health risks converge with new opportunities in value-based care to create pathways for OTs to intervene earlier than we ever thought possible.Support the show

Martin Heydon, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, discusses issues facing farmers and the farming community.

In this episode of the Farm4Profit Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Vinayak Shedekar, a research scientist at the forefront of multifunctional drainage systems in agriculture. Drain tile has long been used to remove excess water from fields, but according to Dr. Shedekar, that's just scratching the surface.We explore how tile systems can now support irrigation, manage seasonal water needs, improve water quality, and even contribute to conservation efforts. Dr. Shedekar explains the concept of transitioning from "drain to de-rain"—a strategy that leverages tile infrastructure to retain or redistribute water based on the time of year and crop demand.He also unpacks the potential of drainage water management and subirrigation in increasing yields, improving efficiency, and enhancing farm profitability—especially in places like Northwest Ohio, where traditional irrigation adoption has been limited.Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of:How to evaluate their current tile systemWhether water management upgrades make senseHow conservation practices like bioreactors and control structures play into the big pictureWhat technologies are emerging to help maximize return from these buried systemsIf you've ever wondered whether your tile could be doing more for your crops, wallet, and the environment, this episode is for you.

The average commodity bacon at the grocery store is affordable, but is the more costly bacon worth it? Once a pig is weaned from its mother, it's sent to a feedlot, weighing about 40 to 50 pounds. It will then live in a 7-square-foot area where it will be fattened to over 250 pounds in 3 to 4 months! Commercial pigs are fed GMO corn and soy. They're also given drugs in the US, like ractopamine, to quickly increase muscle growth before slaughter. This drug is banned in 90 countries! Laws protect the privacy of these farms, so it's difficult for the public to discover what truly occurs there. When bacon is processed, artificial smoke flavoring, salt, sugar, water, and MSG are typically added. This process is not generally used for high-quality bacon.Nitrates are chemicals that act as antibacterials and flavor enhancers. When exposed to high heat, however, they can turn into carcinogens. Singing Pastures is an excellent source of pasture-raised bacon. Pigs are rotated in small pastures to allow grass to regenerate. In Spain and Italy, pigs are often fed acorns. Pork is also cured to enhance flavor and quality.Pork is one of the best sources of vitamin B1. Pasture-raised pork contains vitamin D and trace minerals such as selenium and zinc. Lard is a healthy fat and, if it comes from a properly raised pig, is a great addition to cooking and baking. Overcooked bacon can create carcinogenic byproducts. Avoid this by cooking your bacon in the oven or air fryer. To counteract carcinogens, cook your bacon with olive oil, garlic, and onion. Avoid microwavable bacon!
