Are the products you use every day poisoning you? In this episode of Super Life, Darin Olien dives into phthalates, a class of toxic chemicals found in food packaging, personal care products, medical devices, and even children's toys. Despite mounting evidence linking phthalates to hormone disruption, infertility, obesity, and chronic illness, these chemicals remain largely unregulated in the United States. Darin breaks down why phthalates are everywhere, how they impact your body, and what you can do to protect yourself. He also highlights Minnesota's groundbreaking SF 188 bill, which aims to force food manufacturers to test and disclose phthalate contamination for the first time in U.S. history. If you care about your health, your family, and the toxic load in your daily life, this is a must-listen episode that will make you rethink what you're consuming. Government Responsibility in the Spread of Phthalates Phthalates are chemicals used to make plastics more flexible and durable. Since the mid-20th century, they've been incorporated into countless consumer goods, from food packaging to personal care products. This widespread use is largely due to regulatory inaction and the prioritization of industrial interests over public health. In the United States, agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been slow to regulate phthalates, despite mounting evidence linking them to serious health issues. These include endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, and chronic illnesses such as obesity and diabetes. Unlike Europe, which has banned certain phthalates in food packaging and children's products, the U.S. has often allowed industry self-regulation, leading to widespread contamination in consumer goods. The Industrial Agricultural Revolution and Processed Foods The post-World War II industrialization of food production significantly increased the use of phthalates. As food manufacturing scaled up, plastics became integral in packaging and processing equipment, leading to phthalate leaching into our food supply. Highly processed foods are particularly susceptible due to multiple points of plastic contact during production and storage. Studies have shown that individuals consuming more processed and fast foods have higher levels of phthalates in their bodies. Minnesota's Legislative Action: A Step Forward In January 2025, Minnesota State Senator Heather Gustafson introduced Senate File 188 (SF 188), a bill requiring food manufacturers to test their products for phthalates and publicly disclose the results. If passed, this legislation would be the first of its kind in the U.S., aiming to increase transparency and encourage manufacturers to reduce phthalate levels in their products. According to Senator Gustafson, "Minnesotans have the right to know whether the food they are eating and serving their families is contaminated with toxic phthalates. My bill will help consumers make healthier buying decisions and create a strong incentive for food manufacturers to get plastic chemicals out of our food."  advocacy.consumerreports.org Why This Matters This bill is crucial because it: Increases Transparency: For the first time, food companies would be required to test for and disclose phthalate levels, creating public awareness of the contamination problem. Encourages Stricter Regulations: Public disclosure could lead to consumer pressure for stronger nationwide bans and restrictions. Prioritizes Public Health: It challenges the longstanding prioritization of industry preferences over public health, acknowledging that chemical exposure is a public health crisis. Addresses Chronic Illness: With rising rates of metabolic disorders and hormone-related diseases linked to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like phthalates, holding manufacturers accountable is a step toward reversing this trend. Products Commonly Containing Phthalates and Associated Health Risks Phthalates are pervasive in many consumer products. Here's a breakdown of common sources and the potential health implications: Personal Care Products: Items such as nail polishes, hair sprays, aftershave lotions, cleansers, and shampoos often contain phthalates.  fda.gov Food Packaging and Processed Foods: Phthalates can leach into food from packaging materials and during processing. Diets high in dairy and meat have been associated with higher levels of phthalate exposure.  webmd.com Medical Devices: Some medical devices, including intravenous bags and tubing, contain phthalates to increase flexibility.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Household Items: Products like vinyl flooring, shower curtains, and certain furniture may contain phthalates.  toxicfreefuture.org Children's Toys: Some toys, especially those made from flexible plastics, can contain phthalates.  toxicfreefuture.org   Health Risks Associated with Phthalate Exposure Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors, meaning they can interfere with the body's hormonal systems. Potential health effects include: Reproductive Issues: Exposure has been linked to reproductive problems, including reduced fertility.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Developmental Problems: Prenatal exposure may lead to developmental issues in children.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Respiratory Issues: There is evidence suggesting a link between phthalate exposure and respiratory problems, such as asthma.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Metabolic Effects: Some studies have associated phthalate exposure with metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance and obesity.  pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov   Steps to Reduce Phthalate Exposure To minimize exposure to phthalates: Choose Phthalate-Free Products: Opt for personal care items labeled as phthalate-free. Limit Processed Food Intake: Reducing consumption of processed foods can decrease phthalate exposure. Use Alternatives to Plastic: Whenever possible, choose glass, stainless steel, or other non-plastic materials for food storage and household items. Stay Informed: Regularly check resources like the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database to find products free from harmful chemicals. How You Can Take Action While Minnesota is leading the way, collective action is essential to drive nationwide change. Here are steps you can take: Support the Bill: If you're in Minnesota, contact your state legislators to express support for SF 188. You can find more information and track the bill's progress here. Sign Petitions: Look for petitions advocating for the reduction of phthalates in consumer products and add your voice. Stay Informed: Follow organizations like Consumer Reports and Clean Water Action, which are actively involved in this issue. Reduce Personal Exposure: Limit consumption of highly processed foods, use glass or stainless steel for food storage, and avoid products with "fragrance" listed as an ingredient, as it can be a source of phthalates. Active Petition to Support Minnesota's SF 188 As of now, there isn't a specific petition available for Minnesota's SF 188 bill. However, you can take proactive steps to support this legislation: Contact Legislators: Reach out to Minnesota state legislators to express your support for SF 188. Personalized messages can be impactful. Stay Informed: Monitor the bill's progress through the Minnesota Revisor's Office website. Conclusion Minnesota's initiative is a significant step toward addressing the pervasive issue of phthalate contamination. However, true accountability requires federal-level bans, a shift toward non-toxic alternatives, and a rethinking of industrial food production. By staying informed and taking action, we can collectively push for a healthier future.   Bibliography Consumer Reports.

DSPod SOLO returns for a conversation about a recent edition of “you can just do things,” where Github CEO Nat Friedman and company tested the levels of endocrine disrupting chemicals in 700 common food items. And friends, it does not look good! We dig through the data to pull out some trends that can help us avoid getting slowly poisoned by our food, try to figure out if akshually no it's fine that there's plastics everywhere, and debate if there's a better way of naming these chemicals that reflects their ball-crushing nature.

In this episode, I explain what microplastics are, their prevalence in the human body and environment, and their common sources, as well as their potential negative health impacts. I provide practical strategies for limiting exposure to microplastics, nanoplastics, and endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol-A (BPA), bisphenol-S (BPS), phthalates, and PFAS ("forever chemicals"). Additionally, I discuss methods to enhance the body's detoxification and excretion of microplastics. By the end of this episode, you will have a clear understanding of the modern science of microplastics and their impact on human biology, along with actionable steps to minimize exposure and accumulation in the brain and body.

Plastics and Falates are detrimental, we're sure you know what plastics are, but if you don't know what Falates are they basically: Are any of a group of esters of phthalic acid that are widely used in the manufacture of plastics and also as synthetic additives in perfumes and cosmetics. These chemicals have been linked to reproductive and hormonal abnormalities in humans. Falates can be found in most products that have contact with plastics during production, packaging, or delivery. Chronic exposure to Falates will adversely influence the endocrine system and functioning of multiple organs, which has negative long-term impacts on the success of pregnancy, child growth and development, and the reproductive systems in both young children and adolescents. Some dairy products, fish, seafood, and oils are found to have a high level of Falates.

Welcome to today's episode where Dr. Miles Hassell answers some of the most pressing health questions from our listeners. With a focus on sugar consumption, the Mediterranean diet, and the effects of various food additives, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you live a healthier life. Key Points from the Q + A: 3:00 - Sweet Tooth and Sugar Alternatives Cut Back on Refined Sweets: Miles Hassell, MD emphasizes the importance of minimizing processed carbs and refined sugars in your diet. Instead, consider natural sweeteners like honey, molasses, and maple sugar. Avoid Bad Sugars: Not all sugars are created equal. Miles Hassell, MD advises steering clear of highly processed sugars and opting for more natural alternatives. 6:10 - Are Apples Really Villains?  While highly refined sugars can be detrimental, natural sources like apples are a much better alternative. Apples contain fiber and essential nutrients, making them more satisfying and less likely to lead to overconsumption compared to empty sugars found in processed foods. 10:55 - Protein and Collagen in Homemade Ice Cream Adding protein and collagen to homemade ice cream may sound healthy, but Miles Hassell, MD categorizes it as ultra-processed. He stresses that these should not replace your primary protein sources. If you're going to have ice cream…just enjoy it!  13:35 - The Mediterranean Diet Miles Hassell, MD discusses the Mediterranean diet, questioning whether it's too carb-heavy. He encourages examining hard endpoints and considering whether people truly thrive on this diet. The focus should be on whole, omnivorous foods. 20:00 - Phthalates in Olive Oil Miles Hassell, MD  explains that while every food contains some toxins, our bodies have natural detoxification methods. He notes that people who consume olive oil tend to have better health outcomes, suggesting our bodies can handle these toxins effectively.   Miles Hassell, MD's insights provide a comprehensive look at how we can make healthier dietary choices. From understanding the impact of different sugars and sweeteners to evaluating popular diets and addressing food toxins, these tips are vital for anyone looking to improve their overall health.  Remember, the key lies in making informed choices, staying active, and continually assessing how your diet affects your well-being.      Do you have a question?

Brace yourself for a paradigm shift that will obliterate everything you thought you knew about the hidden forces sabotaging your health and vitality. In this unfiltered dialogue, world-renowned expert Dr. Tom O'Bryan doesn't mince words as he pulls back the curtain on a harsh reality – the deeply ingrained myths that have left countless men stranded in a wasteland of unfulfilling lives, hollow connections, and plummeting testosterone levels are nothing more than pernicious fallacies perpetuated by a toxic modern world. With raw authenticity and a surgical precision that will leave you questioning everything, Dr. O'Bryan exposes the jarring truth: the root cause of your ailments isn't laziness or lack of discipline. Instead, it stems from a profound, hardwired compulsion etched into the very fabric of our neurobiology – a compulsion forged in the crucible of a toxic environment bombarding us with chemicals and inflammatory triggers from the moment we enter this world. Through captivating personal anecdotes and cutting-edge science, you'll bear witness as he dismantles the toxic dogma fueling our self-flagellation, revealing how seemingly innocuous childhood rituals can lay the foundation for a lifetime of emotional eating, addiction, and compulsive behaviors sabotaging your efforts to reclaim your vitality. Here's a glimpse of the revelatory insights you'll uncover: The pivotal role of delta brainwaves in dismantling the hardwired compulsions that sabotage weight loss efforts, allowing you to regain control over cravings and hunger signals Practical, counterintuitive strategies to depotentiate these deeply entrenched neural pathways, freeing you from the shackles of compulsive overeating and addiction The startling reason why conventional weight loss methods like diets, exercise, and surgery inevitably fail for 97% of people – and how to break free from this vicious cycle once and for all Whether you've grappled with weight fluctuations, brain fog, and plummeting testosterone for years or seek a fresh, empowering perspective, this conversation is a wake-up call to embrace true vitality – one rooted in self-compassion, neuroscientific insight, and the unwavering belief that you possess the power to reclaim your sovereignty as a man. The path to sustainable freedom begins here – tune in and let the revolution commence.

Does your healthcare experience make you suspect no one wants you healthy? Your doubts and chronic health struggles could prove the healthcare system doesn't have your best interests at heart. On today's episode of *Flourish-Meant* we're diving deep into a controversial yet fascinating topic with our special guest, the Yale-educated Dr. Mark Richards.  Dr. Richards exposes reasons why healthcare fails to heal and the critical health risks associated with low testosterone. Dr. Mark Richards served for years as a physician consultant to the White House and in leadership positions in medical and surgical societies. This Yale-educated scientist noticed that something unexplained yet treatable was taking a heavy toll on human health and relationships. His search for answers led to a shocking discovery he details in his book, Nobody Wants You Healthy: Achieving Better Health by Avoiding the Corruptions in Modern Medical Science. 

In this episode, Sachin interviews Dr. Tom O'Bryan on excess inflammation and the effects it has on your body. They address the causes of inflammation, the purpose of inflammation in your body, and how it can accumulate by continued exposure to toxins in your body. Dr. Tom O'Bryan talks about his docuseries The Inflammation Equation, the experts he interviewed over a year for the docuseries, and how you can access this docuseries and learn more about inflammation in your body. Dr. Tom also recommends the Neural Zoomer Plus test to learn about excess inflammation you may have in your brain. Listen to learn more about excess inflammation and its treatment and prevention.   Key Takeaways: [1:02] Sachin introduces today's guest, Dr. Tom O'Bryan. Today we're going to talk about one of the most important topics that impacts virtually every cell, every system, and every organ in your body, something that Time magazine has called the silent killer, inflammation.   [1:24] Dr. Tom is not only a brilliant clinician but also very detail - and scientifically - oriented. He is working on a new project Sachin says will blow your mind.   [1:54] Sachin welcomes Dr. Tom to Perfect Practice. Dr. Tom wishes he and Sachin lived in the same place to get together weekly or so for coffee. Dr. Tom lives in Costa Rica but he imports his coffee from Reno, Nevada, from Brain Bean.   [2:44] Dr. Tom tells about Brain Bean, its founder, Dr. Michael Nelson, and their coffees, including Zen Blend. Sachin says “I'm going to buy it right now. … I'm sold. Thank you.”   [3:55] Dr. Tom explains his work with inflammation. We wouldn't be here if we didn't have an active immune system protecting us every day. When it gets called up, the question is, what's it trying to protect you from?   [4:55] A related thought is that, according to the CDC, 14 of the 15 top causes of death are chronic inflammatory diseases. It's always excessive inflammation that causes disease.   [5:28] Dr. Tom shares a slide from Dr. David Furman at Stanford. The slide has three gears that are linked in a line. The first gear has teeth labeled with things that attack our systems: viruses, bacteria, inactivity, obesity, lack of regenerative sleep, excess stress hormones, and more.   [7:11] When the first gear gets out of balance, it turns to the middle gear, labeled Systemic Chronic Inflammation. Your immune system is responding to a perceived threat.   [7:44] Dr. Jeff Bland, the Founder of Functional Medicine, told Dr. Tom in an interview, “A negative thought is just as powerful at activating your immune system, creating inflammation, as exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.”   [8:21] Dr. Patrick Hanaway, who co-founded the Functional Medicine Center at Cleveland Clinic, told Dr. Tom in an interview, after a diagnosis of Stage 4 throat cancer, “I thought I was bigger than the stress in my life.”   [9:50] Then Dr. Hanaway talked about how he has learned to handle the stress of life so much better, which reduces activating the immune system.    [10:24] Dr. Tom returns to the image of the three gears. The gear in the middle is your immune system trying to protect you. That turns the gear on the right, which is your genetics and antecedents, such as mercury toxicity. Genetics and antecedents point to your weakest link.   [11:02] The pull on the chain attacks your weakest part. The pull on the chain is inflammation. Excessive inflammation is bad for you.   [11:28] The World Health Organization tells us for the last four years, the average life expectancy for newborn children is less than the average life expectancy of their parents, meaning kids are expected to live shorter lives than their parents are expected to live.   [11:50] The main reason for this shortened average life expectancy is the inflammation from your immune system trying to protect you from something. We have to identify what your immune system is trying to protect you from. Maybe your toxic dishwasher detergent!   [12:57] We can't eliminate all exposure to toxins, but we can make progress. Keep working at it, a little bit at a time. Can you reduce your immune system's need to protect you?   [13:54] Dr. Tom interviewed the actress Fran Drescher. She's a 23-year survivor of uterine cancer. Her oncologist saved her life. Fran wrote a NY Times bestselling book, Cancer Schmancer. She started the Cancer Schmancer organization to educate people about cancer.   [14:50] Fran Drescher said the first thing you have to do is to treat yourself as your best friend. Educate yourself on the chemicals you use every day. For longevity and quality of life, take regular baby steps to reduce the load on your immune system trying to protect you.   [15:27] Dr. Tom has patients answer a questionnaire and take labs before he sees them by Zoom. One of the tests is the Neural Zoomer Plus. It looks at 53 markers of excess inflammation in your brain. [17:18] Blue Cross Blue Shield came out with a paper in February 2020 that went unreported because the pandemic was happening. The paper said that in the previous four-year period, there was a 407% increase in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's in 30- to 44-year-olds.   [17:56] Right now, there is an explosion of cognitive decline, diagnosed depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, brain dysfunction, autism, and attention deficit. The brain is a sensitive and active organ with 20‒25% of the body's blood at one time. Inflammation is killing brain tissue.   [18:36] Dr. Tom has never had a Neural Zoomer Plus come back normal. Results show people have low-grade inflammation in the brain. It doesn't make them sick but it eventually triggers symptoms. Then they get diagnosed with a disease, after decades of inflammation.   [19:31] A government report published in 2019 stated that Alzheimer's will bankrupt Medicare within 25 years because so many more people are getting it.   [19:59] They showed that there are 20 to 25 years of excess inflammation in the brain before you ever have a symptom. You feel fine but your brain's on fire! By the time symptoms come you're pretty far down the path.   [20:32] Look for antibodies being elevated. Dr. Tom tells of four immune systems. The one in our gut is like the sheriff. The marshall is in the bloodstream. The system in the brain is the glial cells. They fire an inflammatory cascade to get rid of anything that's not supposed to be there.   [21:47] When you have chronic inflammation from environmental toxins like mold in your house, your immune system tries to fight it. Inflammation in the bloodstream crosses the barrier into your brain and the glial cells react like fireworks exploding and causing collateral damage.   [22:44] The collateral damage causes elevated antibodies to get rid of the damaged brain cells. The Neural Zoomer Plus test identifies elevated antibodies in the bloodstream. Next, find out where the inflammation is coming from; food, mold, or toxins.   [23:36] Dr. Tom says the Neural Zoomer Plus test looks at pathogens like herpes, cytomegalovirus, and streptococcus. Those pathogens can be in other parts of the body, but the antibodies cross into the brain.   [24:24] Dr. Tom speaks of a connection between some celiac patients and antibodies to the cerebellum. If they have these antibodies, when they go gluten-free, the antibodies to the cerebellum go down. Dr. Tom calls this molecular mimicry.   [25:21] When the cerebellum is attacked, you can lose your balance, or misjudge door frames as you walk through them. To test balance, take your shoes off, stand straight, lift your right knee in the air, and count to five. Let it down lift the left knee and count to five.   [25:48] Repeat the test with eyes closed. That's a simple test for cerebellar balance. If you can't keep your balance, we now know where we have to look. Let's measure and see. Do you have antibodies in your cerebellum? We have a path to follow to reduce the inflammation.   [27:30] The Journal of the American Medical Association, one of the most prestigious journals, published a paper on couples going to assisted fertility centers. It showed that women who ate three servings a week of organic fruits and vegetables had the best outcomes.   [31:11] The study didn't address this, but Dr. Tom thinks the women were also doing other things to be exposed to fewer toxins, like using organic shampoos and soaps. Probably there were other areas where there was less insult activating the immune system trying to protect them.   [32:07] Dr. Tom notes that a fertilized egg has no defense. It's completely dependent on Mom's environment. If Mom has a toxic environment, from a lifetime of accumulating toxic chemicals, and she's eating conventional fruits and vegetables, that takes her over the edge more often.   [33:01] In those women, the implantation failed 18% more often, and if there was a pregnancy, it was lost 26% more often. That's powerful information! Anyone can eat three servings of organic fruits and vegetables a week while working in the direction of reducing the toxins in your life!   [33:23] Buy organic shampoo from the health foods store. Don't use poisonous toothpastes. What we're being given is reducing the life expectancy of newborns compared to their parents and increasing the incidence of every autoimmune disease by four to nine percent yearly.   [34:42] More people are getting sicker because more and more chemicals are accumulating in our bodies.   [34:53] In Chicago in 2016 they collected urine from 326 women in the eighth month of pregnancy. They measured five different phthalates, and chemicals used to mold plastic. They followed the offspring of those pregnancies for seven years.   [36:16] When the children turned seven, the study team did Wechsler IQ tests on the children. The children whose mothers had the highest amount of phthalates in urine during pregnancy had IQs seven points lower than the children whose mothers had the lowest amount of phthalates.   [36:59] One IQ point is noticeable. A difference of seven IQ points is the difference between a child working very hard to get straight As and a child working very hard to get straight Cs. A baby's brain doesn't develop in utero to its full potential when Mom is high in phthalates.   [37:46] Phthalates are what harden nail polish in four or five minutes. They're in your bloodstream within four to five minutes.   [38:58] Part of Dr. Tom's goal is to reach women of childbearing age to attend The Inflammation Equation and listen to the experts. Dr. Tom went to seven countries for a year interviewing people for this docuseries. Just listen to what they say. It makes perfect sense.   [39:32] The goal is to reduce the exposure to all of these things that activate your immune system, trying to protect you. You need to get the insult out of there so the immune system calms down on its own.   [40:13] Taking Turmeric as an anti-inflammatory can help, but what is the source of the inflammation? Dr. Tom wants to reduce our exposure to toxins. You can protect yourself and your family by cleaning toxins off your food with a product like Veggie Wash from TrulyFree.   [41:50] The Inflammation Equation can be found at TheInflammationEquation.com/Patel. Register here. When you register, you'll get the full interview with Fran Drescher. You'll laugh and you'll cry. Dr. Tom tells how Fran Drescher protects her home environment.   [44:27] For healthcare practitioners, Dr. Tom hopes you will register as an affiliate. When you register as an affiliate, Dr. Tom gives you all the information to send to your patient base so they will attend. Dr. Tom wants you to be able to ask more engaging questions.   [45:22] NASA published a gook on houseplants for space. Two six-inch houseplants in a 10x10 room absorb 74% of the toxins in the air. All home fabrics are soaked in flame-retardant chemicals that are not good to breathe. Get houseplants. Mother-in-law's tongue is a great one.   [47:28] If your cabinets are not solid wood, they're pressboard. Pressboard is soaked in formaldehyde that off-gasses into the air. Furniture, too can be pressboard. Fran Drescher has a switch she uses at night to turn off the wireless in her home to protect her environment.   [48:35] Sachin thanks Dr. Tom for always sharing what he learned, paying it forward to practitioners, and to all who are seeking better health. Sachin is excited about the event. He's excited always to learn more and keep pushing the envelope forward.   [49:18] Sachin says we'll share all the links that Dr. Tom O'Bryan mentioned. Here's to having the right amount of inflammation, so that your body can heal, repair, and regenerate itself for a long healthy life.   Mentioned in this episode Perfect Practice Live Dr. Tom O'Bryan The Inflammation Equation   More about your host Sachin Patel How to speak with Sachin Go one step further and Become The Living Proof Perfect Practice Live sachin@becomeproof.com To set up a practice clarity call and opportunity audit   Books by Sachin Patel: Perfect Practice: How to Build a Successful Functional Medical Business, Attract Your Ideal Patients, Serve Your Community, and Get Paid What You're Worth The Motivation Molecule: The Biological Secrets To Eliminate Procrastination, Skyrocket Productivity, and Get Sh!t Done   Tweetables:   “The Center for Disease Control tells us that 14 of the 15 top causes of death are chronic inflammatory diseases.

"We tested at the laboratory... it came up really high in an industrial chemical called acrylamide, which is associated with endometrial and uterine cancer." In this conversation, Joel Evan interviews David Steinman, a best-selling author, about hidden chemical toxins in everyday products for children. They discuss the importance of protecting children from these toxins and the role of organic foods in reducing exposure. They also touch on the impact of GMOs, the dangers of glyphosate, and the need for individuals to take proactive steps to protect themselves and their families. David shares examples of lawsuits he has filed against companies and emphasizes the importance of citizen empowerment and anti-toxic activism. The conversation with David Steinman focused on the importance of making conscious shopping choices to create change and protect our health. Steinman shared a story about how the organic food movement transformed the farming practices in Salinas, California, and improved the health of children in the area. He emphasized the power of consumer influence in creating safer options and highlighted the need for individuals to take responsibility for their shopping choices. The discussion also covered the topic of water filtration, with Steinman recommending a combination of reverse osmosis and activated carbon filters for optimal results. He provided practical steps for detoxing the home, such as using non-toxic cleaning products and choosing organic bedding and furnishings. Steinman highlighted the pervasive and destructive nature of phthalates, which are found in many everyday products and can have detrimental effects on fertility, IQ, and gender behavior. He emphasized the importance of individual action in creating a healthier future for our children and society as a whole. Takeaways ✅ Hidden chemical toxins in everyday products pose a significant risk to children's health and development. ✅ Choosing organic foods can help reduce exposure to harmful chemicals. ✅ GMO foods should be avoided due to potential health effects and the use of pesticides. ✅ Glyphosate, a common pesticide, can have detrimental effects on fertility and cognitive abilities. ✅ Government agencies may not always prioritize consumer health, so individuals need to take responsibility for protecting themselves and their families. ✅ Combining reverse osmosis and activated carbon filters is recommended for effective water filtration. ✅ Detoxing the home can be achieved by using non-toxic cleaning products and choosing organic bedding and furnishings. ✅ Phthalates, found in many everyday products, can have detrimental effects on fertility, IQ, and gender behavior.

In this episode of the Running Wine Mom podcast, Samantha Cieslinski interviews Brian Ronholm, the Director of Food Policy at Consumer Reports. They discuss the findings of a Consumer Reports investigation on Lunchables and the implications for consumers. The investigation revealed concerning levels of heavy metals, phthalates, and sodium in Lunchables and similar products, raising questions about their safety and nutritional value, especially for children. Brian shares his advocacy initiatives to promote a safer and healthier food system, including addressing immediate and long-term threats to food safety. He also discusses the role of emerging technologies in shaping the future of food safety and regulation. The most pressing issue facing the food industry today is staying on top of emerging threats. The article highlights concerns about heavy metals and phthalates in Lunchables, which can pose risks to consumers, especially children. The difference between school Lunchables and regular Lunchables is that the companies involved in the school lunch program modified the product slightly to meet certain nutrition standards. The conversation discusses the issue of high levels of lead and sodium in Lunchables and similar lunch and snack kits. It highlights the health risks associated with these contaminants, such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular problems. The conversation also explores the regulatory standards for these products and the lack of preventive measures. It emphasizes the need for transparency in the food industry and the importance of consumer awareness and education. The conversation concludes with suggestions for parents, ongoing efforts in the industry, and the need for stricter standards and regulations.Links:Consumerreports.orgcr.org/foodadvocacy@consumerreports

Imagine slashing your risk of breast cancer by a staggering 73% in just 28 days. Sounds like a dream? It can actually be reality. Today we're dissecting a  pioneering study that could redefine breast cancer prevention. Selecting clean personal care products free from parabens and phthalates isn't just an act of self-care but a revolutionary step towards safeguarding your health. This episode isn't just a discussion; it's a moment of true empowerment. I know sometimes I hear that the information I'm relaying is stressful to hear. "Everything is toxic so I'd rather just not know about it" is a common mindset I come across. But if you skip on any of my episodes because the information stressed you out, I hope you will tune into this one. Because this information, to me, is the opposite of stressful. It's truly empowering to know, that with a few simple lifestyle changes, we can dramatically reduce our risk of breast cancer. We'll explore the intricate details of how specific ingredients can alter your risk profile and what it means for future regulations.  Welcome to a conversation that could very well change the course of your life.Ready to ditch the toxins?  Enrollment is open for Toxin Free in 3.If you enjoyed this weeks' episode, please: Leave a a positive review or rating wherever you listen Shop toxin free products on my Toxin Free Shopping Guide Download your free Tossing the Toxins Guide Post a screenshot and what you loved and and tag me on instagram @wendy_toxinfreeish Want to ask me a question to get answered on the podcast?

The conversation highlights the role of environmental toxins in the increase of ADD and ADHD cases, as well as the impact of toxic exposures in utero and early childhood. The importance of testing for nutrient deficiencies and addressing genetic factors is also emphasized. The episode concludes by providing resources for support and solutions.

Episode 2454 - On this Monday's show Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss companies getting called out, leading by example, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/02/getting-called-out-episode-2454 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Reminiscing & Producing on the Fly The duo starts reminiscing about the early days of the podcast. (2:00) Anna started writing her first cookbook and learned to do her own photography. They chat about the history of “producing on the fly.” They have switched to a different platform, and sound and video have improved. Vinnie has confirmed through a source that he is being shadow-banned. There's a question about the olive oil in a popular coffee chain beverage. There is a UC Davis study that lists uncut olive oils. (14:30) However, the study is several years old now; as a result, they are not sure how current the list of good olive oil brands is. Anna recommends a deep dive into various brands; any reliable producer should be transparent about their process. Clive Prosumer espresso machine is Vinnie's favorite. (Clive doesn't sponsor the show). (17:00) Getting Called Out General Mills has been called out in an article by Consumer Reports due to plastics in some of their foods. (20:00) In " addresses this topic. Podcast guest Mike Keen's (ep. 2375) research around Greenland reveals plastics were found in seal poop in one of the more pristine places on Earth. (21:00) Anna is disturbed by phthalates in some of General Mills' foods—how does it get there? (23:00) Phthalates make plastics more durable; however, they are considered a “forever chemical." This means they do not leave the body. They have been associated with heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, as well as causing hormonal dysregulation. Big Food doesn't care; they do what they can get away with until called out by consumer advocates. (26:00) You end up ingesting micro-doses over time. From canned beverages to packaged foods to what containers you use—it all adds up. It's important to read the ingredients on food labels; Anna shares an example of a protein bar. (30:30) The messaging claims for meat alternatives didn't pass Vinnie's “smell test." (32:30) "Plant-based" has leveled out, as has the “keto explosion” of packaged foods. Vinnie's "Beyond Impossible" documentary explains it all. (See additional show notes for links to the documentary). Anna reads an article about a new version of Beyond Meat that is coming out. The fake meat manufacturer is trying to lure back consumers. (41:00) Lead by Example Anna hears how hard NSNG® is when others in the family are not on board. (46:30) Belief work is a thing. Only make suggestions if someone asks about your progress. Don't preach “Vinnie says” or load others up with unsolicited “you should”s. Vinnie agrees: People have to do it on their own.  Please avoid preaching and never shame others. Body positivity ought to be rebranded. Loving yourself and still seeking health are not mutually exclusive. Shoutout to a few of the great success stories of NSNG®. (54:00) Anna reminds listeners about belief work and evolving: Your physical you is changing but so is your mental awareness. (58:00) They discuss Anna's upcoming Eat Happy Italian book.
