On today's Unemployable, we tackle the hard stuff: why cancer remains our biggest health challenge, why water quality may define the next global conflict, how outbreaks re-enter the U.S. (measles, dengue, bioterror), what COVID actually taught us, and where AI and genomics help—or create new risks. Along the way we talk access to care, compounding vs. brand-name drugs, GLP-1s (Ozempic/Wegovy), and the habits that really move the needle: sleep, strength, hydration, and walking with purpose. My guest is a former U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health and four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service with leadership roles spanning MD Anderson's Moon Shots, WHO, and federal response teams for anthrax and Ebola. It's a masterclass in population health, plain talk, and what leaders should actually do next. Timestamps below.

In this episode of Recycled Content, APR Technical Director Scott Trenor takes over hosting duties to explore the FDA's role in ensuring recycled plastics are safe for use in food packaging with guest Sean Fischer, an FDA Regulatory Review Scientist within the Division of Food Contact Substances. The two dive into the evaluation process, and critical need behind the FDA's No Objection Letters (NOL), an official statement from the FDA signaling that the agency has reviewed a recycling process and has no concerns about its ability to produce material suitable for food-contact use. The conversation also tackles common misconceptions, international alignment with Europe's EFSA, and how recyclers can better navigate regulatory pathways. Tune in to hear how recycled plastics move from curbside collection to safe, food-contact applications, and what it means for the future of circular packaging.

New research based in Montreal has looked into the presence of microplastics and nanonplastics in single-use water bottles. Sarah Sajedi is a PHD candidate in Concordia University's Environmental Engineering program. She shared the results of the study with Andrew Carter.

Plastics aren't just polluting the planet. They're showing up in our bodies in ways we never imagined. From our brain to our bloodstream, even fertility treatments, microplastics are everywhere.This week's guest, Dr. Robin Mesnage, toxicologist and researcher, reveals why microplastics and pesticides are far more pervasive than we realize, from our kitchen cupboards to our hospitals. Drawing on cutting-edge research, he explains how plastics interact with our hormones, fertility, and long-term health, while also giving empowering, practical steps to reduce exposure without fear or overwhelm.Together we explore: – How microplastics end up in our brain, heart, and reproductive organs – Why BPA-free labels often don't mean “safe” – The surprising truth about glass vs. plastic bottles – How IV drips and hospital environments expose us to hidden toxins – The fertility crisis: sperm count decline, egg retrieval, and endocrine disruptors – Pesticides, organic vs. non-organic food, and what's really worth paying more for – Practical, realistic swaps in the kitchen, home, and daily life to lower toxic load – Why small, sustainable changes are the most powerful path forwardLove,Sarah Ann

After three years of negotiating, talks over a global plastics treaty came to an end in Geneva last week with no agreement in place. So why has it been so difficult to get countries to agree to cut plastic production? Madeleine Finlay hears from Karen McVeigh, a senior reporter for Guardian Seascapes, about a particularly damaging form of plastic pollution causing devastation off the coast of Kerala, and where we go now that countries have failed to reach a deal.

The latest round of negotiations for a global plastic treaty ended in failure. Speaking to the Eco-Business Podcast, Doug Wooding, managing director of Hong Kong-based nonprofit Ocean Recovery Alliance, said that countries do not need to wait for a treaty, and should enact polluter-pays laws that mandate firms to recover the plastic they put into the market and finance the chronically under-funded circular economy. Tune in as we discuss: What now? INC5.3? Is no treaty better than a watered down treaty? Recycled content mandates versus virgin plastic caps Pressure brands not petrochemical producers Action is possible without a treaty The need for regulatory consistency for plastics What will a realistic treaty look like? What should a treaty look like for Asia?

In this episode, Dr. Kara Meister, Co- Clinical Chief of Pediatric Otolaryngology at Stanford who also runs a lab exploring some of the tough questions about plastics and children's health, discusses her research on microplastics in children's tonsils. She found microplastics in almost every sample, including Teflon, polyethylene, and polystyrene. The presence of plastics in the environment, particularly in food packaging and household dust, is concerning and Dr. Meister discusses some of the associations with brain health, heart health, inflammation and autoimmune disease. She emphasizes practical steps to reduce exposure, such as avoiding heating plastics, using natural fibers, and minimizing single-use plastics. She encourages listeners not to panic, and she highlights the importance of maintaining a balanced diet and lifestyle to optimize health, despite the challenges in proving causation between plastics and health outcomes.

From Hollywood TV sets to replacing 656M plastics — Host Ian Peterman sits down with Repurpose Co-Founder & CEO Lauren Gropper to reveal how she built the nation's leading compostable tableware brand, disrupted single-use plastics, and made eco-friendly living affordable and easy for millions.

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, we sit down with the founders of WeNatal, a company redefining preconception health for both women and men. Together, we dive into the overlooked science of Trimester Zero—the 3 - 4 months before trying to conceive—and why this time frame can be a game-changer for both natural conception and IVF outcomes. From egg and sperm quality to the role of mitochondria, epigenetics, and environmental toxins, this episode breaks down the science, dispels myths, and provides tangible, realistic steps you can take to optimize your fertility—without the stress of perfectionism. We also unpack why the conversation around fertility needs to shift from being a “women's health” issue to a team sport. *** About the WeNatal Founders: After experiencing heartbreaking miscarriages just one week apart, best friends Vida and Ronit were devastated—and confused. Both healthy, taking standard prenatal vitamins, and yet with no answers from their doctors beyond “it's random” or “it's your age,” they began digging deeper. In their search, they uncovered a glaring gap in the conversation: the male partner's health. Half the equation was being left out entirely. Determined to change the fertility journey for themselves and others, they poured over the research, worked with leading experts, and developed a science-backed prenatal system for both women and men. What started as a deeply personal mission has now grown into WeNatal, a movement to empower couples with the knowledge, tools, and products to support conception, pregnancy, and the lifelong health of future generations. *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

Story at-a-glance A French government study found that glass bottles contain five to 50 times more microplastics than plastic bottles, mostly from the painted caps that seal them Researchers discovered that the microscopic plastic fragments in glass-packaged drinks matched the chemical makeup of the bottle cap paint, not the glass itself When bottle caps were pre-cleaned with filtered air and ethanol, microplastic levels dropped by over 60% — showing this problem is avoidable with simple changes Many people now consume roughly 5 grams of plastic per week — the weight of a credit card — from foods, drinking water, and even from breathing polluted air Microplastics accumulate in your organs, especially the brain, where they trigger inflammation, obstruct blood flow, and accelerate cognitive decline and neurodegeneration
