Show Notes: Notes, references, freebies, and recommendations from this episode can be found here - https://www.morriswellnessservices.com/blog/184   Plastic is one of the most normalized sources of endocrine disruptors in modern life. It's in food storage containers, water bottles, canned goods, non-stick cookware, and takeout packaging. But plastic is not chemically inert. Under certain conditions, the additives used to make plastic durable, flexible, or heat-resistant can migrate into the food and drinks we consume daily. In this episode, we break down how chemicals like BPA, BPS, phthalates, and PFAS move from plastic products into your body. You'll learn how heat, fat, acidity, and time increase chemical migration, why ingestion is the most significant exposure route, and how these compounds act as hormone imposters once inside the body. We discuss how plastic-related endocrine disruptors can: Mimic estrogen Lower progesterone Interfere with thyroid signaling Increase insulin resistance Contribute to fertility challenges Add to metabolic dysfunction This conversation also explains why women are particularly vulnerable due to hormonal cycling, pregnancy, postpartum shifts, and fat tissue storage. Most importantly, we cover practical, non-extreme changes that lower exposure in your kitchen, including avoiding heating plastic, switching to glass storage, replacing damaged non-stick cookware, and being strategic with canned foods and bottled water. Reducing plastic exposure lowers endocrine load. But removing interference is only the first step. Restoring hormone balance requires rebuilding metabolic function intentionally. This episode is part of the Endocrine Disruptor Series, where we explore the everyday exposures quietly impacting women's health and what to do about them with clarity and strategy.   This is the newly rebranded podcast, formerly known as "Your Birth, God's Way".

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Kari Nadeau discuss the presence and health effects of microplastics in our bodies. Microplastics can enter our bodies through various environmental routes, including food, water, and air. They are in everyone's bodies to some degree.  Microplastics have been linked to health issues like stroke, cancer, and heart attacks. Simple actions like avoiding single-use plastics and processed foods can reduce microplastic levels in the blood by up to 80% in three months. Dr. Nadeau emphasizes the need for further research and consumer awareness to mitigate plastic pollution.   Key Takeaways: A microplastic, scientifically, is anything between 1 micron (the size of a red blood cell or an immune cell) to 5 millimeters (the size of a sesame seed). Anything smaller than that is a nanoplastic. Plastics are chemicals. Plastics, as we know them, did not exist before the 1940s. Now we see them in so many places, from healthcare to food to our clothing.  In the US, we are getting about a credit card's worth of plastic per week in what we eat. In Indonesia, it is more like a credit card amount per day. The amount varies around the world.    "We really need to think about air and water and soil as ways that these plastics can get into our bodies." —  Dr. Kari Nadeau   Episode References:  Environmental Working Group: https://www.ewg.org/  Jung YS, et al.

Today on the show, we ask a simple but very real question: What’s the one thing you have trouble throwing away… even though you probably should? We’re talking the universal “junk drawer” classics:➡️ Old cell chargers for phones you haven’t owned since 2014➡️ Random cords whose purpose is a complete mystery➡️ Plastic food containers➡️ Condiments older than your youngest kid➡️ T‑shirts from events you don’t even remember➡️ Takeout menus you still don’t need➡️ Freebies, samples, hotel shampoos… you name it Everyone has that one thing they just can’t toss — and today we dive into why we keep this stuff, what we’re embarrassed to admit, and whether anyone will ever throw away a charger voluntarily. It’s funny, it’s relatable, and it’s going to make you rethink your whole junk drawer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode covers: • Microplastics Are Destroying Male Fertility and Metabolism New research is putting microplastics in a category most men still are not taking seriously: direct reproductive and hormone risk. A 2024 study detected microplastics in every human testicle examined, with polyethylene and PVC among the most common polymers. PVC is especially relevant because it's often tied to chemical additives that can disrupt endocrine signaling. The broader body of evidence points to micro- and nanoplastics crossing barriers like the blood–testis barrier, driving inflammation and oxidative stress in the testes, and showing associations with impaired sperm quality and hormone disruption. The longevity move here is reducing overall load: better water filtration, less plastic food contact, no heating food in plastic, fewer packaged foods, and taking indoor dust and air quality seriously, especially for men thinking about fertility now or hormone resilience over decades. • Sources: – Study (PubMed): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38745431/ – Coverage: https://people.com/microplastics-in-every-human-testicle-infertility-8651215 • Fear of Aging Is Linked to Faster Biological Aging A new study ties aging anxiety to measurable acceleration in biological aging using DNA methylation clocks. People who reported more worry and negative beliefs about aging showed faster epigenetic aging signals, and the molecular differences clustered around stress and inflammatory pathways. In plain terms, chronic threat-mode thinking around aging maps onto biology that looks older on the clocks. For a longevity audience, this is a practical reminder that mental inputs affect physiological outputs. If your day-to-day mindset is constant pressure and decline narratives, that can show up downstream in stress biology and inflammatory tone. A smarter play is building a longevity framework around function, strength, purpose, and community, alongside the usual pillars like sleep, training, and metabolic health. • Source: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02-older-links-health-faster-epigenetic.html • Additional source: https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2026/february/aging-anxiety.html • Retatrutide, the Triple-Agonist Weight-Loss Drug Pushing Bariatric-Level Results Retatrutide is a triple agonist that targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors, and the weight-loss numbers being reported are massive. In a 68-week study in people with obesity and knee osteoarthritis, the highest dose group averaged about 28.7% body-weight loss, along with meaningful improvements in knee pain and function. This is the next phase of incretin medicine: multi-agonist drugs that can move body weight by a quarter or more. For biohackers, the performance and longevity angle is implementation: preserving lean mass through resistance training, hitting protein targets, monitoring micronutrients, and building a maintenance plan that doesn't collapse the moment the drug stops. The upside is cardiometabolic risk reduction at scale. The key is running it with structure. • Sources: – Eli Lilly release: https://investor.lilly.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lillys-triple-agonist-retatrutide-delivered-weight-loss-average – Coverage: https://nypost.com/2026/02/18/health/people-dropped-out-of-retatrutide-trial-for-losing-too-much-weight/ – Background: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2026/02/whats-next-for-glp-1s/ • AI Can Predict 130 Diseases From a Single Night of Sleep Stanford's SleepFM project shows how much long-horizon health information is encoded in sleep. Researchers trained a foundation model on roughly 585,000 hours of clinical polysomnography data from about 65,000 people. From a single night of sleep study signals, the model could estimate risk for 130 conditions, including dementia, heart attack, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation, and all-cause mortality, and it generalized across cohorts better than simple demographic baselines. The big implication is that sleep architecture and micro-patterns (stage distribution, fragmentation, breathing stability, micro-arousals) function like a dense biomarker stream for systemic aging and disease risk. Expect better sensors and more validated risk dashboards over time. Right now, this is another reason to treat sleep as a core diagnostic pillar, not just a recovery habit. • Sources: – Stanford Medicine: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2026/01/ai-sleep-disease.html – Paper (Nature Medicine): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-04133-4 • Living at High Altitude May Protect Against Diabetes by Turning Red Blood Cells Into Glucose Sinks For years, population data has suggested lower diabetes rates at higher elevations. New mechanistic work is pointing to a surprising driver: red blood cells changing how they handle glucose under low oxygen conditions. In hypoxia, red blood cells can behave like glucose sinks, pulling more sugar out of circulation and improving glucose tolerance, which may help explain the protective association seen at altitude. The downstream potential is a new class of altitude-mimetic approaches that target erythrocyte metabolism as a glucose lever, separate from appetite suppression or classic diabetes pathways. For biohackers, it expands the metabolic toolkit and reinforces that oxygen environment and blood physiology matter more than we've given them credit for. • Source: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02-red-blood-cells-sugar-high.html • Dietary Supplement Regulatory Uniformity Act and the Future of Supplement Access A proposed bill is aiming to stop states from layering extra rules on dietary supplements beyond federal law, creating one national standard instead of a patchwork of state-by-state restrictions. Industry groups are supporting it as a way to reduce confusion and compliance chaos, especially as some states explore age limits or special labeling requirements for certain supplement categories. The strategic implication for biohackers is that regulation shapes access. Uniformity can stabilize availability, but it also raises the stakes of federal decisions on controversial ingredients. This is one of those policy stories that quietly determines what stays on shelves, what disappears, and how much innovation survives in the supplement space. • Sources: – NutritionInsight: https://www.nutritioninsight.com/news/npa-crn-supplements-us-fda-legislation.html – Congressional release: https://langworthy.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-langworthy-introduces-dietary-supplement-regulatory-uniformity-act – NutraIngredients: https://www.nutraingredients.com/Article/2026/02/05/new-bill-aims-to-end-state-supplement-regulations/ All source links are provided for direct access to the original reporting and research.

Research shows penguins are more likely to eat discarded tops made from white or clear plastic, than any other colour. The study involving almost 70 King and Gentoo penguins from Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium in Auckland show they gravitate to white bottle tops even when faced with a rainbow of colour choices. University of Auckland's Dr Ariel Heswall spoke to Lisa Owen.

Plastic particles are now being found inside of newborn babies. It's time to turn off the plastic tap! In the news this week Patti and Doug talk about endocrine-disrupting BPA chemicals in baby pacifiers, the incredible health benefits of eating oatmeal, and President Trump's executive order spurring production of the cancer-causing chemical glyphosate. Then Dr. Marcus Garcia of the University of New Mexico talks about his work in the lab discovering microplastics in human placentas, what it may mean for health later in life, and how we really need to find ways to curb the production and consumption of plastic.

With Presidents Day here, Cracktastic Plastic is spotlighting Leaders in Plastic—the figures who command armies, rule galaxies, run nations, or strike fear into their followers. From heroic commanders to ruthless villains, we're digging into the action figures and collectibles that represent power, influence, and authority across pop culture. Along the way, we talk about what makes a great “leader” character, why these figures stand out on the shelf, and how leadership—good or bad—translates into plastic form. We also spotlight Silver Moon Comics & Collectibles during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it's a shop we should visit someday.

By now, we know that our society has a problem with plastics. They seem to have made their way into every aspect of our lives. They're inescapable, but this is a problem that doesn't need to last forever. It is a problem we can solve, or at least, that's what the new book The Problem with Plastic argues. We've been told for decades that recycling would solve the plastic crisis — but it hasn't. The truth is, we can't recycle our way out of this problem. Plastic recycling has never worked at scale, and the real solution is far more straightforward: we have to stop making so much plastic in the first place. That change won't happen without policy, and when everyday people use their voices to push policymakers at every level to cut plastic production and address this crisis before it's too late. In episode 211 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we hear from the author of THE PROBLEM WITH PLASTIC, Judith Enck.Judith is the founder and president of Beyond Plastics, whose goal is eliminating plastic pollution everywhere. She was appointed by President Obama to serve as regional administrator at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2009 and served as deputy secretary for the environment in the New York Governor's Office. She is currently a professor at Bennington College and lives in upstate New York.Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/outdoor.minimalist.book/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.theoutdoorminimalist.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@theoutdoorminimalistBuy Me a Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/outdoorminimalist⁠⁠⁠Listener Survey: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://forms.gle/jd8UCN2LL3AQst976⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------The Problem with Plastics: https://www.beyondplastics.org/publications/problem-with-plastic-bookBeyond Plastics: https://www.beyondplastics.org/Judith Enck: https://judithenck.com/

Today we are diving into all things plastic, and specifically counting plastic with Daniel Webb, founder of Everyday Plastic and the drive behind The Big Plastic Count. Longer term listeners might have noticed that I am mildy obsessed with people's back stories and one of my first questions is always 'how did you get here'. I'm genuinely fascinated to hear the journey that people go on to get to the point they're at, and Dan has the most amazing back story..! And it's not just Dan's back story that is super interesting, there's loads of stats and facts in this chat about plastic, and the thorny issue that it has become, not only in terms of it's environmental impacts, but in terms of health, and also social justice. It's a brilliant chat - I hope you enjoy it. And there's a very clear call to action at the end, which, spoiler alert, is to sign up for the Big Plastic Count, and get all your friends and colleagues to as well!Daniel Webb LISTEN...

On February 9, three hundred activists came to Albany for an advocacy day with Beyond Plastics to call for passage of the Packaging Reduction and Recycling Infrastructure Act. The bill would require large companies to reduce their packaging by 30% over 12 years, would ban a dozen toxic chemicals from packaging, and would not allow chemical recycling (aka incineration) to count as recycling. At a press conference, we hear from Judith Enck of Beyond Plastics and the bill's lead sponsor, Assembly En Con Chair Deborah Glick and Senator Pete Harkham.

What if the most overlooked health intervention isn't a supplement… a biohack… or a protocol? What if it's the structure you live inside? In this deeply personal solo episode, Darin shares the seven-year journey of rebuilding after losing everything, and why this new home isn't just a house, it's a biological experiment in sovereignty. From fire resilience and toxic-free materials to grounding floors, EMF elimination, circadian lighting, and water independence, this episode breaks down the science and intention behind designing a "Fatal Convenience–Free" home. This is about more than architecture. It's about reclaiming your environment as a health intervention. In This Episode Why over 90% of California wildfires start from human infrastructure — and how to build for fire resilience The hidden toxins inside modern homes: formaldehyde, VOCs, flame retardants, particle board Why indoor air is 2–5x more polluted than outdoor air (EPA data) Why formaldehyde is a Group 1 carcinogen — and still used in building materials Steel framing, magnesium oxide walls, and hempcrete exterior — and the science behind each Water sovereignty: whole-house filtration, well water testing, pharmaceutical removal Eliminating WiFi and RF exposure with fully hardwired infrastructure Grounded copper-integrated flooring and the emerging science of earthing Solar redundancy and energy independence Circadian-aligned incandescent lighting to restore melatonin and sleep architecture Biophilic design and using fallen oak trees from the fire for untreated interior finishes Organic furniture free from PFAS, flame retardants, polyurethane foam Why your home may be the most powerful nervous system regulator in your life Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Plastic waste, fatal conveniences, and Bite toothpaste solution 00:02:48 – The solo episode: rebuilding after losing everything 00:03:30 – The most overlooked health intervention: your home 00:05:30 – Fire zones, ember exposure, and structural ignition science 00:07:00 – Steel framing and magnesium oxide walls explained 00:08:00 – Hempcrete and fire-resistant exterior systems 00:10:30 – Building biologists and probability management 00:13:40 – Indoor air pollution and EPA data 00:14:40 – Formaldehyde as a Group 1 carcinogen 00:15:30 – Eliminating composite woods and VOC sealants 00:16:45 – Mold-resistant building science 00:17:50 – EMF elimination, hardwired ethernet, no WiFi home 00:20:00 – Prefab SuperLife guest house concept 00:20:20 – Copper-integrated grounding floors 00:21:00 – The science of earthing and blood viscosity 00:22:10 – Water sovereignty and whole-house filtration 00:23:00 – Gray water and microbiological waste remediation 00:23:45 – Solar redundancy and energy independence 00:24:20 – Circadian lighting and melatonin suppression research 00:25:45 – Biophilic design and reclaimed oak interiors 00:27:00 – Organic furniture and eliminating endocrine disruptors 00:27:50 – Reinvention after loss: reducing biological stressors 00:29:00 – Architecture of biology and intention for the next chapter     Thank You to Our Sponsors Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

It's about reducing the biological stress load — and building a life aligned with sovereignty, intention, and nature."

Toys were never just toys.In this episode of Geekstorians, Dave traces the rise of the Plastic Empire — the moment when action figures, model kits, bricks, and collectibles stopped being side products and started becoming entire universes.From the Star Wars Early Bird box that accidentally rewrote the rules of merchandising, to the 1980s cartoon-toy industrial complex, moral panics, and the birth of gender-segmented aisles, this is the story of how plastic shaped imagination, identity, and fandom itself.Along the way, we explore LEGO's uneasy relationship with licensed worlds, Gunpla's transformation of fandom into craftsmanship, Warhammer's hobbyist ecosystems, the rise of collector culture and shrine shelves, the collapse of toy superstores like Toys “R” Us, and how blind bags, loot-box logic, and digital skins quietly gamified collecting.Finally, we look at the strangest evolution yet — a future where fans no longer wait for companies to make their toys at all, but design and print their own.Because the Plastic Empire didn't disappear. It decentralised.If you enjoyed this episode, make sure you're subscribed or following Geekstorians wherever you listen, so you don't miss future deep dives into the hidden history of geek culture.You can find every episode at https://www.geektown.co.uk, along with Geektown Radio, our weekly show covering the latest TV, film, and gaming news.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/geektown.

From pixelated heroes to plastic powerhouses, this episode of Cracktastic Plastic dives into toys born from video games. We're talking action figures, collectibles, and oddball tie-ins inspired by classic and modern games alike—how they captured the look and spirit of their digital worlds, which ones actually nailed the transition from screen to shelf, and why video game toys hold such a unique place in collector culture. Whether you grew up mashing buttons or just admiring the figures afterward, this one's all about when gaming leapt off the console and into your hands. Joining us on this episode is our good friend Gary Cooper—also known as Scary Gary—a longtime pal from Kansas City and a true connoisseur of all things retro gaming. Gary is a passionate horror movie fan and supporter of the genre, a newly minted dad, and someone who really knows his way around classic video games and the toys they inspired. We're thrilled to have him on the show to bring his knowledge, nostalgia, and love of plastic-fueled gaming history to the table. Please welcome Mr. Eyebrows himself, Scary Gary. We also spotlight Aaron's 80s Toys & Collectibles during our Store Tour segment and talk about whether it's a shop we should visit someday.

Chris Harris had an idea we explore: what car would you drive as your daily driver if it were invisible and you didn't have to worry about judgment? What about a “weekend car”? We list 5 of each.Steve-0 spots a 1990 Geo Metro. Believe it or not he drove one for a year in the mid-1990s to save money. A 3-cylinder shitbox with 55Hp, the Metro was a true deathmobile. But it was surprisingly well built and so cheap to run. We discuss.Dr Stephan Moran, our trauma surgeon, gets into specific problems seen with older and younger drivers. Both are high risk demographic groups, and he discusses how they can minimize risks.Dr Moran, also an experienced shade-tree mechanic, is frustrated by the recent move by OEMs to replace some electronic parts with expensive "modules" and many steel parts with plastic "equivalents". Ugh he hates it all (so does Steve-0)#carsoncallpodcast #traumasurgeonsafety #automobile #geometro

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by environmental policy expert Judith Enck, co-author of The Problem with Plastic and president of Beyond Plastics, for a frank conversation about why plastic recycling has largely failed—and why that failure wasn't an accident.Judith unpacks how the plastics industry has known for decades that recycling doesn't work, while spending millions convincing the public otherwise. We also explore the human and environmental costs of plastic production, from “Cancer Alley” in Louisiana—where petrochemical plants line the Mississippi River—to the growing body of research showing microplastics in our blood, organs, placenta, and breast milk.But this isn't just a story of harm. It's a call to action. The conversation turns toward real, systemic solutions—like policy efforts to reduce single-use plastics, eliminate toxic chemicals in packaging, and invest in reuse and refill systems.The takeaway? Individual choices matter—but lasting change comes when many people work together, imperfectly but persistently, to transform the systems and laws shaping our world.About JudithJudith Enck is a faculty member at Bennington College, where she teaches courses on plastic pollution, and the founder of Beyond Plastics, an organization that works with community leaders and policymakers to reduce plastic pollution. She also leads the college's Environmental Action Fellowship.Appointed by President Obama, Judith served as the longest-tenured Regional Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Region 2, overseeing environmental protection in New York, New Jersey, eight Tribal Nations, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She has also held senior roles in New York State government, including Deputy Secretary for the Environment, Policy Advisor to the Attorney General, and Executive Director of Environmental Advocates of New York.A frequent public commentator, Judith appears on WAMC Northeast Public Radio's The Roundtable. She is the co-author of the new book The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It's Too Late.Thanks for listening to Hawthorne Valley's Roots to Renewal podcast.

Hello, hello! In this episode of the Good Garbage Podcast, host Ved Krishna sits down with Neha Jain, Founder & CEO of Zerocircle, to explore how seaweed-based materials could transform the future of sustainable packaging. Imagine a world where packaging doesn't end up stranded on beaches, but instead safely dissolves back into nature. That's the future Neha is working toward.Neha shares her journey from working at Google to building Zerocirlce, a company focused on developing natural polymer materials from seaweed as an alternative to plastic packaging. This conversation dives deep into material science, the challenges of scaling sustainable packaging solutions, and why true sustainability must work commercially, not just environmentally.Together, Ved and Neha discuss:- How seaweed is used to create home-compostable packaging materials- The science behind natural polymers and plastic alternatives- Why collaboration is critical in the sustainable materials ecosystem- What it takes to scale climate-positive solutions globally- Why “good garbage” means designing systems where waste doesn't existZerocircle's vision goes beyond packaging aiming to become a core material provider for manufacturers worldwide, helping reduce plastic waste at scale. → Find out more about Zerocirlce: https://www.zerocircle.in/

with Michael O'Neal & Mircea Morariu Winter pickleball isn't just “pickleball but colder.” The ball plays faster and harder, touch shots behave differently, and the injury risk spikes if you warm up like it's July. In this episode, Michael O'Neal and Mircea Morariu break down the practical adjustments that help you stay loose, keep the ball in, and win more points when temperatures drop. Why staying warm directly reduces mistakes and injury risk Hands are everything: glove vs no glove, grip tweaks, and maintaining dexterity Layering that works for movement: base layer (compression or Under Armour style) insulation (fleece) optional shell for wind the underrated puffy vest for pickleball Hats and headbands for heat retention Why your warm-up should be 2–3x longer in cold weather Off-court warmups: bike, jumping jacks, jump rope On-court dynamic warmups: lateral shuffles, staying low Keeping blood flowing between points (the “bounce” habit used by top pros) Why cold weather injuries are more common—especially over age 40 Plastic stiffens → ball feels harder Less dwell time → less spin and control Ball flies faster with less resistance Bounce becomes less predictable Expect balls to crack more (especially outdoor balls like Dura and Franklin X-40) Shorten your backswing More compact strokes Choke up on the paddle for better touch Expect weird timing on volleys, dinks, and resets Use safer, more consistent drop mechanics Drives often beat drops in cold weather Pressure creates more popups than usual Attack knees, thighs, body more than perfect feet Shorter points favor aggressive modern players Reduce sidelines by 15–20% — aim bigger, safer targets Consider standing slightly off the kitchen line for reaction time Hot paddles become even hotter in the cold Softer control paddles can be easier to manage Consider keeping a “winter paddle” in your bag Hand warmers (QB-style) can be a real advantage Stop trying to play “summer pickleball” in winter Expect your touch to feel off Simplify everything Play higher margin shots Give yourself grace — conditions matter Cold weather still dehydrates you Lower blood volume = higher injury risk Hydration keeps tissues elastic and responsive Expect balls to crack more → bring extras Warm up longer, stay warm between points Shorten your swing, reduce power Less spin, more popups Drives and pressure outperform patient grinding Improve margins, aim safer Keep hands warm Hydrate like it's summer Shorter points usually win Cold weather favors players who: simplify stay aggressive warm up properly and adapt instead of fighting conditions Winter pickleball isn't worse — it's just different. And if you adjust, it can absolutely become an edge. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Plastic cutting boards shed microplastics during routine food prep, contributing to increased plastic ingestion that accumulates in organs like the brain and reproductive tissues over time Research shows knife pressure releases hundreds of plastic fragments per cut, many embedding into food tissue and remaining even after rinsing or cooking Older, heavily grooved boards release more microplastics, as repeated knife strokes and surface wear accelerate abrasion and contamination during everyday meal prep Replacing plastic boards with wood, bamboo, or glass reduces microplastic exposure, while proper cleaning and timely replacement help limit bacterial and chemical risks Beyond cutting boards, reducing exposure to microplastics requires filtering water, avoiding plastic packaging, choosing natural fabrics, and addressing hormone disruption caused by estrogen-mimicking plastic chemicals
