Kevin McCallister's been demoted to scamming the nation and fistfucking the globe from a less visible post. Political theater prevails as the dominant mindvirus.

Trump's fraud trial serves up more fodder for hidden messages to be disseminated through Poland Spring, his Real Doll attorney and, well, We're Lovin' It™, folks.  Vovan and Lexus get more people in positions of power (Sarah Ashton Cirillo in this case) to belt out the quiet parts so loudly that upon finding out that they've been duped she claimed that the 30+ minute video and audio record of her abysmal remarks was a Russian conspiracy deepfake. We mourn Bernard Sanders' continued downfall and irrelevance as he poorly responds to Code Pink's anti-war protests.

In a small town near the New Hampshire border, bottled water giant Poland Spring is allowed to extract over a million gallons of water a year from land it owns. However, as some residents see ponds and wells dry up, they want town officials to more closely monitor the water supply, including what the company is allowed to take.

Our conversation covers a history of bottled water, attractiveness and risks of the opportunity, and a deal process that started with the banker telling One Rock they were too small to participate.

I received a touching email the other day that got me thinking about how I want to be remembered when my time on earth comes to an end. The email is a brief and beautiful story from one of my favorite authors that I share in today's show. My guess is that after you hear it, you will want to reflect on how you want to be remembered too. But before we get into today's episode, here's what this podcast is all about. Welcome to You Were Made for This If you find yourself wanting more from your relationships, you've come to the right place. Here you'll discover practical principles you can use to experience the life-giving relationships you were made for. I'm your host, John Certalic, award-winning author and relationship coach, here to help you find more joy in the relationships God designed for you. To access all past and future episodes, go to the bottom of this page to the yellow "Subscribe" button, then enter your name and email address in the fields above it. The episodes are organized chronologically and are also searchable by topics, categories, and keywords. The author of one of my all-time favorite books One of the top five books I've ever read is Quiet - The Power of Introverts in A World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain. I've mentioned the book in previous episodes, and I think at some point I should do a deeper dive review of it. She has a new book that came out late last year in 2022 that is also worthy of a review, Bittersweet - How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole. I'll have links to both books in the show notes. With two books under her belt, and online courses she developed, Susan Cain also started a weekly email newsletter, which I signed up for. Sign up for my own weekly email newsletter As a side note here, many of the listeners to this podcast also get my weekly email which gives a brief description of that week's episode. If you're not getting this yourself every Wednesday, and would like to, go to johncertalic.com, scroll a few inches down the page, and under “Actionable relationship insights delivered weekly to your inbox,” enter your name and email address. Okay. Back to Susan Cain and the story she tells in the recent email she wrote. Here's what she said: On my way to tennis a few weeks ago, I realized I forgot my water bottle at home. I pulled into a gas station and asked if they sold water. "We have no store," said the attendant. Then he looked at me, went to his office, and came back with two bottles of Poland Spring. I pulled out my wallet. “No, no,” he said, waving off my dollars with a wistful smile. “You have the face of my mother.” The man wasn't young; he wore a turban and spoke with a heavy accent; he was far from his childhood home. I imagine it's been many years since he last saw his mother. I drove away with tears in my eyes. The gift he gave me that day was precious as water itself. This is why we're alive – for moments like this… What a beautiful line, This is why we're alive – for moments like this… I'll come back to it in a little bit Her encounter with the gas station attendant reminded me of a similar event I experienced last summer. A similar encounter My wife Janet and I wanted to get together with our three local grandkids, so we offered to take them out to dinner one evening. They wanted to go to Mod Pizza. It's one of those chain restaurants where you go through a line and they make a personal pizza for each person. It looks like an assembly line where they add any of the ingredients you want onto your pizza, and then they stick it in a blazing stone oven. You go sit down at a table and they call you when your individual pizza is done and out of the oven. So there we were in line, Janet, our three adult-size grandkids all taller than her, and me at the end of the line. As we waited, we joked around with each other until it was our turn to order. One by one each person in our party told the pizza preparer the ingredients they each wanted on their pizza. The person behind the counter making our pizzas was a friendly sort in her mid-20s; working a part-time job was my guess. I was last in line and when it came to my turn to order, she looked up at me from the last pizza she had just finished, smiled, and said in a surprised and cheerful tone. “Oh, you look just like my father.” I smiled back at her and quickly bantered with her saying, “I bet he is a very handsome man." She paused briefly, and then smiled again and said wistfully, “Yeah, he was. He died 6 months ago. You remind me of him.” A reflective moment I don't remember what I said next. Did I say “Oh, I'm sorry for your loss?” I don't remember. I was so taken by her smile and the nostalgic expression on her face that spoke volumes about her relationship with her father. Here is a young woman who loved her father, who felt loved by him, and who was so very grateful for this loving relationship they shared. It was all over her face. I enjoy being with our grandkids every time we're together. But all I could of the rest of this evening was this 20-something pizza preparer. Her smile told me her father must have been a good man, a good father. It was a bittersweet moment to be thought of  like him. I felt honored. It made me wonder how I'll be remembered by my wife and kids, and grandkids when I'm gone. What will they think of me 6 months after the funeral? Will they smile fondly as the pizza preparer did to me? “This is why we're alive - for moments like this.” Earlier I mentioned that I was taken by the line from Susan Cain's email that I quoted, “This is why we're alive - for moments like this.” We all leave something of ourselves behind, intentionally or not. Something of ourselves that blesses people and invokes gratitude, or sadly, sometimes just the opposite. We're connected with each other more than we realize. I would like to be remembered for how I related to people. Was I kind to others? Did I bring out the best in people? Was I humble? Above all, did I reflect well the character of God, which is why I was brought into the world in the first place? It's why you and Susan Cain were brought into the world, as well. It's the best way to be remembered after we've left this life. Sometimes that's all we need to know about who we are and how we are to live. This is why we're alive - for moments like this. Another connection point Getting back to Susan Cain's email and her story about the gas station attendant, she said If you've had an experience like this (or a distant cousin to this), I would love to hear about it. (I read every single one of your e-mails, and do my best to reply to some of them.) So I wrote back to her and summarized the story I just told you about the pizza preparer who said I reminded her of her father who died six months earlier. A week later I received an email from a person by the name of Renee, who indicated she was Susan Cain's chief of Staff. Her email said, Dear John --  Susan read and loved your letter. It gave her goosebumps!  She asked me to tell you she was so happy you wrote to her and that you're part of our community. We wish you the very best!  — R My best, Renee Here's another connection. My mother's name was Renee. She died 10 years ago. So what does all this mean for YOU? How can you use what you've heard today to help you find more joy in the relationships in your life? I think God used the 20-something pizza preparer to cause me to reflect on how I want to be remembered. I thought her father is someone I'd like to be like. Where 6 months after my funeral, the family will be out for pizza and they'll see someone that reminds them of me. And it will bring a smile to everyone's face. I can't control what their response will be after I'm gone. What I can control now is my behavior, attitude, and values which gives me the best chance of being remembered well. The same is true for you, too. How do you want to be remembered? It's not too late to start being the person you want to be. And if you're about 80% there, rejoice and be glad in the progress you've made. Trust God to help you with the other 20% as you get closer to the finish line. If you forget everything else from today's episode, here's the one thing I hope you remember It's wise to think now about how you will be remembered. You still have time to become the best version of yourself that will make people smile after you're gone. Closing Before we wrap up today's show, if you'd like some input regarding a relationship question or issue you're dealing with, I'd love to hear from you. Just go to JohnCertalic.com/question to leave me a voicemail. If you'd rather put your question in writing, enter it in the Comment box at the bottom of the show notes. I'll do my best to answer your question in a future episode. In closing, I'd also love to hear any thoughts you have about today's episode. I hope your thinking was stimulated by today's show, to think about how you want to be remembered, and what you might need to do to make that happen. For when you think and reflect upon things like this, it will help you experience the joy of relationships God desires for you. Because after all, You Were Made for This. Well, that's it for today. If there's someone in your life you think might like to hear what you just heard, please forward this episode on to them. Scroll down to the bottom of the show notes and click on one of the options in the yellow “Share This” bar. And don't forget to spread a little relational sunshine around the people you meet this week. Spark some joy for them. Remind them of someone good in their life. And I'll see you again next time.

Dan takes the show on the road with Scott of Lorenzo The Beer Cat Fame.  They went to The Dirigo State (did anyone know that's what Maine's motto is) for Poland Spring and craft beer.  Fortunately, there was no Poland Spring in site so the entire episode was about craft beer and, more specifically Odd By Nature's Oddity By The Ocean Beer Festival!  Get an inside scoop from two of the most well traveled neckbeards in the game and hear directly from Jay, proprietor of Odd By Nature and emcee of the fest, on how well everything turned out!  Of course the episode ends, as always, with releases but also with The Professor's take on some of his favorite brews at the fest.Don't want to miss this one ladies and gents!We hope you all enjoy! 

Paul Voge, the co-founder and CEO of artisanal sparkling water brand Aura Bora, wasn't too worried about his first large scale production run.  Aura Bora, which markets zero-calorie sparkling waters infused with herbs and botanicals, was born out of Voge's belief that an opportunity existed for an artisanal option within the carbonated water category. If, however, the brand failed to get off the ground, Voge, a prolific sparkling water consumer himself, was comfortable with the idea of having a personal stash of 35,000 cans to drink over the next few decades.  Thankfully, Aura Bora has resonated among category consumers, and over the past two years the Colorado-based company has expanded beyond its original focus on the natural channel and ecommerce and into conventional retail stores. Its drinks are now available at 3,000 locations, including nationally at Sprouts, and are also sold at 7-Eleven and Raley's along with Harris Teeter and United Supermarket, chains operated by Kroger and Albertsons, respectively. In an interview featured in this episode, Voge, who co-founded Aura Bora with his wife Maddie,  explained how he attempted to differentiate the brand from other sparkling water brands in name, package design and formulation, why he was inspired by artisanal food brands, the clever way he landed a meeting with a Whole Foods buyer; and how his pricing strategy was ahead of the curve for premium sparkling water. He also discussed his tension-filled, yet ultimately successful, experience on “Shark Tank,” why investors were at ease with an evolution of Aura Bora's retail strategy, why acquiring sales data has been critical to the brand's development and how he's attracted industry veterans for key roles.  Show notes: 0:46: Paul Voge, Co-Founder/CEO, Aura Bora – Voge and Taste Radio editor Ray Latif riffed on the entrepreneur's cap collection and experience at Expo West 2022, hand-canning Aura Bora's first products and the impact of launching the brand a couple months before the onset of the pandemic in the U.S. He also spoke about what attracted retail buyers to the brand, what he and Maddie wanted to convey in the label and package design, the thoughtful approach to naming the brand and how functional beverages factored into Aura Bora's pricing strategy. Later, Voge explained why Aura Bora is attempting to “own” a subset of sparkling water, how he indirectly met Whole Foods buyer, utilizing data and information from online sales to support innovation, R&D and marketing and his wild ride on “Shark Tank.” Voge also discussed why buying SPINS data has been a valuable investment, why the hire of a sales director made him realize that “he was driving without glasses,” and why, despite the many uncertainties of running a beverage company, it's important to have a plan.  Brands in this episode: Aura Bora, Sanzo, LaCroix, Polar Seltzer, Poland Spring, Jeni's, Van Leeuwen, Salt & Straw, Kettle Chips, RxBar, Waterloo, Topo Chico, JoJo's Creamery, Hoplark, Liquid Death, KIND Snacks, Pipcorn, Genius Juice, Harmless Harvest, Voss, Super Coffee, GT's Kombucha

George just escaped from a mansion where just had Fiji mixed with Evian with some Poland Spring and ate a soft-boiled ostrich egg with some weird ass dude.He's here to tell you all about it.

Created by Sandra, Emily and Jess. Here's our review of this episode: It's...an episode. Yes, this Gilmore girls episode has everything: cheerleaders (Lane! Ska! White tights!), basketball (Pep Rallies! New Coaches! Red Uniforms!), Chilton drama (PSAT's! Mean Girls! Poland Spring water bottles!), and of course, termites (Kirk! 15 Grand! Loans!). All interesting things, for sure!, yet none of these events are ever mentioned again in Gg canon. Join as we wonder about Emily's intentions, the crap shack's original selling price, and where the hell did Jess Mariano go? Also in this episode: Sandra cannot say a specific word (in her defense, the word is Algonquin...), Emily tells us all about the Rocky Horror Picture Show (Tim Curry, anyone?), and contrary to popular belief, Jess does not want to steal Jackson's pajamas (Made by Xerox?). What an episode! Email us at TownMeetingPod@gmail.com to be featured in future episodes! Special thanks to ack106 for the NEW jingles!

-When I'm going through security at an airport or anywhere really, I prefer when it's more strict. If I'm about to go through a metal detector, I might even leave a couple coins in my pocket just to make sure that it's working properly. The other day I left an opened water bottle in my backpack and TSA didn't even flag it and that made me nervous. First it's half a Poland Spring. And next is what? A bomb? I'm trying to keep these people on their toes and they're asleep at the wheel! -I think a funny Halloween costume would be to go as a really outdated viral trend and just pretend like it's current. Like this year, everyone is going to be the Island Boys or someone from Squid game, but while they all zig, you zag and dress up as Alex from Target, the good looking cashier dude, or the Damn Daniel Vans guy, or Ken Bone, or maybe the “Charlie bit my finger” babies if you really want to throw it back. And then act like they're the crazy ones when they think it's a weird costume, “Uh you don't know Alex from Target? He was so viral he ended up on Ellen. Quit living under a rock.” These people might think you just got out of a coma, but still funny. -I really don't like cleaning often, it's just annoying and quite a chore, but whenever I do decide to do it, I clean like I'm trying to wipe down a murder scene. No half-ass cleaning. Just go all in like the bathtub scene in Breaking Bad scrubbing down every last fingerprint and speck of dirt I see. I'm not wasting all that time and energy just to have to clean again in a week. No. I do one thorough cleaning that could last a full year if I'm lucky. -Isn't it just the absolute worst when you think someone is saying “Hi” to you, but they're actually talking to the person behind you. Or when like, I don't know, let's take this totally hypothetical example. Your name is Timmy Stokes and you work as a content creator at an entertainment company and maybe you post a lot of TikToks, and recently your TikTok has been doing really well, and you just crossed 100,000 followers, and also you're really really hot, but anyway maybe a big famous TikTokker comes into your office one day, let's say, I don't know, for argument's sake we'll call him Bryce Hall, and he's walking around and he points right at you and says “I see your TikToks all the time” and you get really excited and think “Oh my God wow. I mean makes sense. I did just cross 100,000 followers and recently met Josh Richards who I'm basically best friends with now so they probably share my TikToks together in their group chat. This is amazing” but then he's actually talking about the person behind you. God, that would be so awkward. Can't imagine that. Both the hello thing and that would really suck. -I wonder how it became common coffee maker etiquette that you take out the previous person's dirty coffee filter, put your own in, and leave that there for the next person. You'd think everyone would just put their own and throw their own out when they're done. But this way is just so commonly accepted. Strange! -Whenever I'm walking in the rain with an umbrella and someone without an umbrella walks past me, I'll raise mine a little higher so they can get just a brief few seconds of protection. It really doesn't do much, but I feel like if God's on the fence with Heaven or Hell for me, this could be a few good points in my favor.

Large beverage companies are undergoing some drastic changes. They are divesting themselves of some wellknown brands that are generating insufficient profits. They are replacing them with products that have appeal to consumers. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal reported that three large beverage conglomerates — Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestle — have shed such wellknown products as Tab, Tropicana orange juice, and Poland Spring water. The changes reflect an attempt to satisfy shifting consumer tastes and preferences, a major factor affecting demand for products or services. Consumption of fruit juices and soft drinks is declining as a result of...Article Link

Speaker1: [00:00:00] Hello, my beautiful people, you know, it is Humpday because I am here talking to you and you know that I released these episodes on Wednesday, so excited to be here. And we have another amazing guest because, you know, I read nothing but quality. And his name is Dr. John Jaquish. He is a Wall Street Journal best selling author and an inventor of the most effective bone density building medical device, which has reversed osteoporosis for thousands and created more powerful and fractured resistant athletes. His devices were put into production and has since been placed in over 300 clinics worldwide. Osteogenic loading has now helped over 20000 individuals with their bone health. Dr. Jaquish also quantified the variance between the power capacities from weak to strong wages and weight lifting, which brought him to his second innovation x3. The research indicates that this products build muscle much faster than conventional lifting and does so in less training time, all with the lowest risk of joint injury. Dr. Jaquish is a research professor at Rushmore University, speaks at scientific conferences all over the world, has been featured on many of the top health podcasts, is an editor of multiple medical journals and is a nominee for the National Medal of Science. I am so excited to have him on here because we're going to have some controversial topics that we're going to be discussing, including why not weightlifting and the whole fitness trend and so many more things. Welcome, Dr. Jaquish, a.k.a. Dr. J. How are you today?   Speaker2: [00:01:48] I'm super. Thanks for having me, Elizabeth.   Speaker1: [00:01:51] I mean, thank you for being here. I mean, you know, I'm going to put you on the spot on the podcast. I don't normally do this, but I think I'm inspired by you as being my guest to have a little section called Rumor Has It. And so be prepared.   Speaker2: [00:02:07] I will. There's all kinds of crazy rumors going around about me. Most of them are just ludicrous. But I always I enjoy even the ludicrous ones that are very comical.   Speaker1: [00:02:16] Ok, so we're going to we're going to sneak them in there if you let me. So thank you. So I want to start talking about first of all, let's talk about your product. Right. Let's let's talk about what made you disrupt the fitness world. And do you feel like your research and technology and your competitors who use your traditional way of getting lean and building muscle?   Speaker2: [00:02:42] Ok, yes, it's definitely a threat to the old way of getting fit. But let's face it, the old way of getting fit didn't really work for many people. Like, really think about it. The people who, you know, go to a gym three or four times a week and have been doing so for years. Do they look any different? Right, silence, they don't. Yeah, yeah, and in fact, there's there's data on the top leanest one percentile of males in the nation. It's ten point nine percent body fat, basically 11 percent body fat. That's the best one percent. Now, percentage body fat is a wonderful number because it considers muscularity also. So because the more muscular you become, the lower your percentage of body fat will be, so. You have a relatively pathetic number as the top percentile. Like, I really shows you, there's not a lot of fat people out there and there's a reason why it's so coveted, people want to be fit so badly because hardly anyone is. And like, why are we trusting an industry that might have a ninety nine point nine percent failure rate? Wow. Like who really who really is fit looking? Who really has completely visible abdominals and muscularity at the same time, you know, is it one in ten thousand people, maybe one in fifty thousand people? It's just uncommon.   Speaker2: [00:04:18] And so when that is how we define fitness, that's how we define and an admirable physique and we look at the statue from eight hundred years ago of Hercules, that's that's in I'm thinking of a particular one. There are a lot of statues of Hercules, particular kind of famous. He's leaning on like a like a tree branch and he's hung a lion skin over the tree branch. But a hundred years ago, you know, the guy looked absolutely incredible. They didn't even have performance enhancing drugs back then. But it's just so rare as my point that somebody had to sit for that statue to be created. Like there was a guy that looked like that eight hundred years ago. But my point is, it's just so rare and now there's a couple of genetic reasons which can be bypassed and I discussed that in my book, Weightlifting is a waste of time.   Speaker1: [00:05:09] Oh, I need that. I need to get that book because and we're going to get into that book, you know, I don't know. I want to get a signed copy. I'm waiting for the signed copy from conservatives. I get from and then rumor has it, but I'll bring that up. But I'm like excited to get my signed copy. But I want to go back a little bit to this technology that you spoke about. You talk about Hercules, right. Like let's pretend right. Like back in the days, we all know Hercules is known for being super buff and strong and like like you said, no, you know, performance enhancing drugs or medications or supplements, whatever you want to call   Speaker2: [00:05:46] Somebody that's got you, you listen to me talk and don't understand what that means. Somebody had to sit there and sit still while the sculptor created the sculpture.   Speaker1: [00:05:58] Yeah, that's a   Speaker2: [00:05:59] A who look like that. They don't just invent muscles out of their mind. No, because they don't know the anatomy. There's very few anatomy classes eight hundred years ago, but people could sit for a statue, so there had to be a guy like that.   Speaker1: [00:06:13] Yeah. And so I want to kind of touch on nutrition a little bit talking about that and you and your book. Right. Like what are your thoughts on nutrition? Because you said ninety nine point nine percent of the population are not succeeding in that. And so, you know, when you were asking me a question about you said, you know, who do you know that's really fit and who's going to the gym all the time? And I'm thinking, yeah, they're going to the gym all the time. But they're also like meticulously counting their calories, their macros, their protein.   Speaker2: [00:06:46] They still don't look any different, do they?   Speaker1: [00:06:48] Not by that much. So let's talk about that. I want to hear your thoughts on these fad diets, these new diets that we know that Hercules was definitely not doing.   Speaker2: [00:07:00] Primarily what I eat is red meat. Now, I also it's all about the quality protein when it comes to building muscle. Now, the two greatest drivers of long life or high levels of muscularity and low levels of body fat. So those are the two things I'm kind of best at. Having a low level of body fat and a high level of muscularity now, how does that happen? The easiest well, you have to have a lot of dietary protein and it has to be of quality. So, like, vegetable protein is only nine percent and that's like nine to four percent usable by the body. So you can you can have. Whatever, one hundred grams, but it really only counts like nine grams, so that would be like a pound and a half of broccoli will give you nine grams of use, but you need one gram per pound of body weight. Not a lot of people weigh nine pounds, so especially adults. So you can't have vegetable sauces and get anywhere. In fact, you're losing Moscow muscle the whole time. You're like vegan or vegetarian. So that's why there's weight loss also. Yeah, the losing body fat is a record deficit, but they're also losing muscle very rapidly. And that contributes to a lot of chronic conditions and early death. So, you know, does it do some good things for you going vegan or vegetarian? Yeah. Yeah, it does. It cuts a lot of processed food out, and that's good. But you can cut processed food out and still have animal protein or diet. So, yeah, that's that's primarily where I am. I did create a product that wasn't specifically for vegans, it was for everybody, but a lot of people.   Speaker2: [00:08:49] And they found a one gram per pound of body weight like I weighed 240 pounds. So 240 grams of protein is like two and a half pounds of steak. And I eat one meal a day because I want to fast and benefit also. So when you sit down for one meal and try and eat two and a half pounds of steak that lasts like half a pound, you don't love it. Wow, it's like work, is it, and you don't feel good afterward, you know, so your girlfriend wants to cuddle with you and you're like, now I'm going to have any Digest's. Let me just lay here. And so that just wasn't it wasn't great. So I worked with a with a group who had engineered a cancer treatment. That that was a very. Usable, essential amino acid product and most essential amino acid products are about as usable by the body as sand. Unfortunately, yeah, there may be the amino acids and everything weren't created correctly. They weren't created with fermentation. Basically, we're supposed to eat rotting stuff. And obviously, for sanitation reasons, we don't, right? So what what this is, is gives us the benefits of that rotting material fermentation without the taste and it's clean and there's nothing that will give you an infection or anything. Yeah. And so it's called Vortigern. So so I take about two two hundred grams of protein and protein value. Wow. I mean, I literally have to eat like a half pound steak and I'm good,   Speaker1: [00:10:29] And now you can cuddle with your girlfriend.   Speaker2: [00:10:32] Yes, very   Speaker1: [00:10:33] Good. So everyone everyone wins here.   Speaker2: [00:10:36] Everyone wins. Yeah, exactly. Bet my girlfriend   Speaker1: [00:10:39] Did. She's so sweet. No, no, no. So, yeah, for those guys don't know like I do know his girlfriend. She's so sweet. I did meet her try. We're trying to get her on here but she's doing other activities right now. Working. But she is the sweetest person I've met so far, so I love her. She's amazing. Hi, Jessa waving to her. So when she sees this, we're thinking about her. So let's let's call it let's take it down a notch. So. So you don't recommend. So when people talk about becoming vegan or vegetarian or raw. Right. Like they not only do it because of the benefits of maybe losing weight or taking out those processed foods, but also the impact on the environment. Right. And like all these foreign foods, because not all protein is made equal. Right. Let's let's be honest about that. Right. Like a grass fed grass finished cow beef is not the same as a industrial commercialized, you know, cornfed, right. Exactly. Cow who is fed with hormones and antibiotics and you name it. So let's talk about that a little bit. I would love for you to shed some light on what your intake is on the people who are concerned with carbon footprint and saving   Speaker2: [00:11:53] Animals, the carbon footprint idea or the methane. That's so there were twice as many bison in the United States before Europeans migrated here than there are cow. So where was all the methane and global warming back then? Now, is methane created from grass? Yeah, and if the grass died just seasonally and then came back the next spring, rotting material, dead plants leaves a hole in the ground from trees that creates methane to. Like the same amount, so whether the cow is eating it or just sits there, it's methane equals methane, it's the same thing. So a lot of this is just a gross misunderstanding of what methane is. Also manmade methane number one cause is the medical industry. Like, I think that's like 80 or something, percent of the methane created in the Western world is created by making pharmaceuticals. So I think it's maybe like one or two percent come from cows. So first of all, the greenhouse gases are natural, they come out of volcanoes, they come out of plants, uh, the kind of rotting material, we're not gonna do anything about that. Like, unless you want to cut down every tree, then we'll die, we're all die for another reason. So every animal that saving the planet, then selling it back. So there's no sustainability argument was. A false narrative created by Vegan's and Seventh Day Adventists by Seventh Day Adventists, that's part of the religious mandate that they convert everybody to being vegan, hereditary.   Speaker2: [00:13:35] And so, yeah, they're doing their religious work. So, I mean, I guess I guess good for them until they start lying in the press about things like this. And then, you know, that just becomes annoying. And also then these kind of issues get brought up in Congress and then people are voting on taxes, on food and. Different things they don't understand, like people in Congress have no understanding yet, they want to jump in the middle of it because it's political, because people care. So it's funny situation, pretty alarming. And also there's political correctness. So we want to be nice to animals. Now, here's a statistic. Seven billion animals are destroyed every year for the sake of vegetable farming. So you're actually growing vegetables kills just as many or more animals as eating animals. And the reason is how many gophers do you need to kill him out of your field? Poisoned by the thousands of birds, poisoned by the thousands, and then, of course, other animals eat dead birds and then they die to. And then, dear, if a deer gets in a vineyard like I, I went to high school in the Napa Valley, I watched deer jump in the vineyards immediately get shot. You can't get it. You can't get a deer to walk out the front gate. There's dumbest cockroaches. They won't ever understand that. You just shoot them. And so they did. I saw a deer shot all the time.   Speaker1: [00:15:11] Yeah, I do know that's a bummer.   Speaker2: [00:15:14] Like, wow. Yeah, I guess the deer just went the wrong place. They should have gone somewhere else to eat, but, um. Yeah, that's just that's just part of it. But also from a broader perspective and this is what everybody should keep in mind, any species that's growing is taking resources away from another species. So this isn't just true of humans. If more snakes show up, they eat more mice. They eat so many mice that. There's lower and lower population of mice in a given area, so they're taking resources because they're expanding population, that is a way of balancing itself out later on. But as long as we have an expanding population, we're going to take resources from something. No, no way around it. And so, I mean, the joke is you really want to help the planet just kill yourself. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I mean, it's obviously a bad joke with science like this. Like, we're people. We take up resources. There's no way that we're not going to take up resources no matter what we do. So it's an acre garden that we have to kill all kinds of animals to stay out over eating the food we intend to eat. What are we really doing? Anything.   Speaker1: [00:16:31] Right. Right. And I also want all the animals. Yeah, no. And I want it. Exactly. I wanted to clarify, like I know you said earlier about the deer to shoot him. And I wanted to just clarify for reference that if you like, read your state laws and you see that, you know, farmers like a peach or orchard could potentially is allowed to, by law, kill a squirrel or anything that comes to eat the they are allowed to. And like this is the kind of stuff that we don't talk about, like the almond farms, the peach farms, the apple farms, all the vegetable farms they are allowed to. And they do kill every single thing that comes in there from the Buber's from the moles to the foxes to the ducks, to the birds, to the squirrels. And and they are allowed to because I, I randomly like I went to a friend's house in Jersey and the guy was just shooting squirrels, unfortunately. And we were like, what can we do about this? And we called and we and the local police officer, you know, whatever he said that he has an apple tree and he has every right to defend the fruits from his property. And if that meant Menta to do that, he was able to. And I was just so shocked. I'm like, it's not enough. It's not a real farm. But technically, he's protected and they were protecting him. So I do want to bring that up. When you when you said that, it's not like, yeah, shoot the deer. That's not what you meant. You meant like that to their right. And that's what they do. Yeah. We're just going   Speaker2: [00:18:00] To talk about the losers in. You're right to do everything to keep the grapes from ever shown up the bite off every leaf. Wild boar are typically shot from helicopters because they come near farms and tear up the ground. So, yeah, just   Speaker1: [00:18:19] Just the other side,   Speaker2: [00:18:20] Weapons from a helicopter using very selected narrative that the press likes to hang on to, it's like saving animals is good and very simplified, like like people seem to want all of their health and lifestyle advice boiled down to like a mean like a half a sentence. Yeah. And like, these issues are just not so simple. It's not like vegetable good, meat bad, right? You know, you you eat that way, you'll die of malnutrition. You get no vitamin B 12, which is absolutely essential for life. So, you know, like you can do that.   Speaker1: [00:19:03] Hey, Dad, I have a story, actually. I mean, I didn't die, but I was really sick for a long time and I didn't know what was wrong with me. Doctors didn't know what was wrong with me. I was under every experimental medication you can probably think of. It was like Celiac, Crohn's, IBS. And there was like, could it be like my grandmother had pancreatic cancer and she had survived that. She went to Peru, she killed herself. They gave her a six to eight months to live. And I think it's already maybe 15 years. And she's still here kicking and screaming. So they thought maybe this is what it looks like, the precursor because they precursor cells, they didn't know what was wrong with me. So they put me on these diets first. It was vegan because they were trying to rule things out. And then this is by my doctor, right. Vegan. And then I became vegetarian first. Then it went to vegan and then it became Rovi again. And because it was such a big shift in my body, I had a massive gallbladder attack and my gallbladder was removed, not because it had stones, not because I was unhealthy, but because it was such a shock for my system. So today I do eat animal protein, but I'm mindful of the protein that I eat. I don't eat a lot of it because it's so hard to process the protein without a gallbladder. That's just the reality of it. But I was told by the doctor afterwards that a lot of times people go into these diets so quickly that their body does go into shock and it can cause different organs to fail. And I'm not trying to I hate like I don't like to make people fearful. I'm a big advocate for having root vegetables. I love I happen to love vegetables.   Speaker2: [00:20:47] That's just   Speaker1: [00:20:48] It's. Yeah, I'm just sharing like what my experience. So I just wanted to share that on, you know, diet and like what your opinion was on that.   Speaker2: [00:20:57] I guess a lot of me. No, I don't go to vegans and complain that they should stop being like, you know, I, I in fact, I created a product where they can actually get high quality protein and continue to be vegan. So the bacterial fermentation product. It's there's no meat involved in the creation of that, so it's vegan friendly, amazing. So yeah. Yeah. So I'd rather help them, but. At all, I'm going to be honest, scientifically, it's just there's no case for it, it's it's a bad idea and that ultimately lead to just a poor outcome. But it takes people a lot of years before a lot of these symptoms catch up with them, like the teeth falling out because you have no V12 like I've seen vegan's where you bite into something and the truth will come out like I'm talking like people in their 20s because they've been vegan for ten years. So the really bad symptoms start after seven years because initially a lot of people went and tried this and they're on a caloric deficit and they lost a bunch of body fat because you can't eat enough vegetables to even cover, like what your body needs from basic perspectives. So you drop a bunch of weight and people think thin is healthy. I mean, lean is healthy, thin is maybe a little bit healthier, depending on where you're coming from, but, you know, that also might be dying. So let's keep that in mind, yeah, because there's a lot of dysfunction, so cut weight like cancer make you lose weight, that doesn't mean it's a good thing. Another thing. Like like the vegan research is typically paid for by Nabisco, Kraft packaged food companies they call big foods a big food industry, and then they would love for everybody to be a vegan because they know vegans aren't eating kale. Most of the time they're eating cookies and cake because it's convenient if it's like it's not it's not a meat product. Right.   Speaker1: [00:23:05] I mean, to be fair, there are different kinds of vegans, right? Like there's like the junky vegans who eat, like all the, um, I don't want to just junk food that, you know, just as vegan. And then there are the ones that are more conscious about the kind of food. Is it from a biodynamic farm? How is it raised? Like how is it grown? Is it like coming from a is the soil biodiversity and all this stuff? So like, I just want to put that out there. I'm not bashing and neither is Dr. J. We're not bashing anyone, just kind of talking about these kinds of things. But Dr. J. I want to I thought this is a great Segway talking about gains, right. Like muscle gains and talking about body fat. Can you explain how using your technology helps to gain more in your goal without impacting your body and like low impact and how it doesn't cause any joint issues,   Speaker2: [00:23:58] So it lets you train heavier? That's the easiest way to explain it. Like you train heavier than you would in a gym. But it's also safer because when it comes to that point where the joint is exposed to potential injury, you get an offload moment where the weight goes way down when the joint is at risk and the weight goes way up when the muscle is fully engaged. So you go to a much deeper level of fatigue, weight training with a heavier weight. And everybody that knows anything about strength training, however you go, the more you grow. So really straightforward uses very heavy latex resistance, but there's also an Olympic bar to protect your wrists that's right here. You can see as I rotate the bar, this always stays parallel with the ground, and that's to keep your wrists neutral and keep your small bones in the wrists from being broken. And we have an equivalent platform we stand on that is to protect the small bones in the ankles as people who just do band training, all they're doing is injuring the wrists and ankles. Oh yeah. Because or they're training so light. It's doing nothing.   Speaker1: [00:25:08] Wow. OK, and what was the process of creating these products, how did you crack this code? Like please share with us the back story?   Speaker2: [00:25:17] I'm not really part of the fitness industry. I never was like I mean, the fact that I sell something that has talking points that are fitness, I see the fitness industry is just a complete failure. No joke. Ignoring science for 50 years, just like everything like like the idea the cardio helps you lose weight. No. Doesn't. Does the opposite, it protects your body fat and gets rid of muscle, so it gives you the opposite. We think. So know, I see people like on treadmills and, you know, just wasting their time getting worse. Wow. I come from the medical device industry. I developed a medical device to reverse osteoporosis a little over 10 years ago. And that's been outrageously successful when I looked at bone and how to figure out how to treat bone and make it grow very rapidly after I figured that out and produce a product launch that prior to the clinical trials of that product, I realized I had gathered data on loading of the body that would completely negate the existing fitness industry or strength strength training industry. Now. If you look at what's the difference between cardio equipment and strength, equipment, cardio, what we call cardio is just really shitty strength training. That doesn't work, doesn't make it stronger, your body doesn't know the difference between a treadmill and a squat rack like you're contracting your lower extremities muscles, your long johns. But he knows the difference in how heavy you're going. Because that's what fatigues the muscle.   Speaker2: [00:26:57] So all you're now, you're fatiguing your cardiovascular system during either. And it just so happens that there's more than one hundred studies that show that fatigue in your cardiovascular system with weights. Will give you as much cardiovascular benefit or more then cardiovascular training, so cardiovascular training, as we call it, like I said, there's really no such thing. You don't get any stronger. You actually get weaker because it regulates cortisol and cortisol cannibalizes muscle. You protect your body fat. So you stay fatter longer and you don't get as good of an effect or an equal effect to strength training. So why don't you just do strength training? Well, like I said, the answer is so obvious now, if you're training to be a marathon runner, you got no choice. You have to run marathons. But a marathon runner, their biochemistry by secreting cortisol is trying to get rid of muscle as fast as possible. So they're losing muscle. And this is like this mythical idea that you can be a, quote, well-rounded athlete and have cardiovascular endurance by doing endurance training. And be very muscular. Now, those are two conflicting goals, you're not going to get a Formula One car to have 40 miles to the gallon like they're conflicting goals, conserving fuel and going fast, conflicting goals. So so now I have great cardiovascular endurance, I can do a lot of work in a short period of time. But because of my level of musculature, like I said, I'm six foot six feet tall, about seven percent body fat and.   Speaker2: [00:28:46] Two hundred forty pounds, so when I sprint up a flight of stairs, maybe two flights of stairs, I'm a little out of breath. But a skinny guy, the way one hundred pounds, one hundred pounds less me. He doesn't he's not out of breath when he sprints up the two flights of stairs to the common. The ignorant comment that many make is all strength athletes have poor cardiovascular endurance. No, they don't, because my legs may be five times the size of his legs. So when my quadriceps are asking my heart for blood, it's a lot more blood that's got a pump in there, that's a far more powerful engine. So in essence, I'm driving a V12 and that guy is driving like a four cylinder. So right wing engine, a weak engine doesn't draw a lot of fuel. And so, you know, just because I'm more powerful and I'm designed to do a lot of work in a short period of time, you know, I try and do work in a long period of time while I don't have the engine for that. Like. Which is why, again, a cardiovascular athlete has very little muscle mass because the biochemistry is forcing them to have very little muscle mass. So this whole, like, endurance thing in cardiovascular health, if your idea is to have a healthy heart through strength training, if you want to run marathons, obviously you got to do a marathon type training for you.   Speaker1: [00:30:14] Guys like that are listening and driving. And, you know, just listening to us talk to an audio, we are also video recording this so you can actually see Dr. J. He doesn't work out, but he's he's at seven, what, seven percent body fat. And he looks   Speaker2: [00:30:28] Like, oh, man, I work out with X.   Speaker1: [00:30:31] Well, let me let me take that back. He's not from the business world. He's not lifting weights. He's not measuring his macros and doing all these kinds of things. He is literally following his formula. So I invite all of you guys to come and see this because I need to go and start doing this kind of training, hopefully soon, or I'll have, like, the arms that we spoke about before with you and your girlfriend. Know, this is very interesting stuff. And, you know, I want to just take it back a little bit. I know that you first started in the space of how to repair or how to grow or you have to help me out with the lingo here for osteoporosis because of your mother, am I correct?   Speaker2: [00:31:13] Yeah. Yeah, I was all inspired by my mother. Yes, she had osteoporosis. I wanted to figure out how to treat it. She was unwilling to take any of the medications because of the side effects. And I don't really blame her. But I said, well, you don't want to take any medications. I might be able to figure this out. Now, I came from a very fresh perspective. This was even before I did my Ph.D.. So I just my experience is more like I just want to learn how to author papers academically because that's a skill like, you know, you don't just like you read a research paper. There's a reason most people can't read them because it's a lot of statistics, a lot of information condensed. I know nobody feels like they're condensed because a lot of times are 20 pages, but that could have been two thousand pages of forms. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, it's a lot of information condensed in an academic manner and I wanted to really be able to do that. Everyone has had the biochemical approach to a lot of these physical medicine dysfunctions. And I'm like, well, deconditioning of a bone. Is osteoporosis? Well, you can deconditioned it, you can recondition it right right now and everybody kind of look at me like, oh, I suppose I got seems crazy, but there is research there on like it was gymnastics. The gymnastics research really got me that. That was the key moment where I, I found the right research. I looked at the rate at which people were hitting the ground and they hit the ground so hard, sometimes ten times their body weight, incredible muscle density, but bone density as well. So the bone I was I was looking at. So I just thought, OK, like, I'm not going to tell my mother to do gymnastics, you know, in her 70s, but I can build a high impact emulation device. And that's what I did. And that's what's at the osteo strong locations.   Speaker1: [00:33:14] Wow. Amazing. And I wanted everyone to hear because a lot of times we think of like, why would somebody like this what is the goal here? Like, if you're just trying to, you know, like if you can you flex a muscle for us? I hate to make you do this, but like, there's a lot of muscle there, like hardly any body fat. And so, like, you would think that he did this because he just wanted to look good. I'd figure that crack that code. But the story behind where this all started was the love for his mother and to help her. And I'm assuming that she's doing well today. Right?   Speaker2: [00:33:46] Right. Yeah.   Speaker1: [00:33:47] Yeah. So amazing. So this is what you call the love of a son. And it's beautiful because the company has grown. And I want to talk a little bit about some rumors that I heard. I I've seen Tom Brady doing the X three. Yeah. And he shrugging your shoulders, but I've seen it. So, like, you can't you cannot not talk about it. And so.   Speaker2: [00:34:14] Yeah, yeah, I could definitely not talk about that. But I, I Peyton, I know that I will say I just finished filming a video series with Terrell Owens, who is another one of the greatest football players of all time, and also a much stronger guy, Tom Brady. So he's he's an excellent user and he uses it right. Which I find very pleasant. When I see videos, I see videos of people using it wrong. It's like, dammit, OK, it's just another another dipshit. You couldn't take fifteen minutes to watch the instructional videos and they're just making up their own exercises and they're going super fast, which doesn't really do anything. Speed training is OK if you're. A pitcher in baseball, but what we're teaching is not sports specific, it's generalized, it's generalized for muscular size, muscular power and muscular endurance and have also you can profoundly have all three and there's synergistic. So, you know, the sports specific stuff. I leave that to the to the trainers and sports. Like, for example, like the book got an endorsement from the Miami Heat and they actually let me use their brand. And, you know, in describing, you know, who's who's endorsing this book. And they almost never do that now. And so, yeah, they're very protective of the brand, obviously, because they just believe in the technology and they start lifting weights and they use X three. Now, what's all them was? Use X three, four strength, power and muscular endurance. But you still got to do all your other drills. Will there be any conflict between strength training and drills? Maybe a little maybe we'll get a little less growth in certain areas and certain muscles are a little overworked or whatever, but.   Speaker2: [00:36:13] You've got to do your drills because being a basketball player isn't just about being strong, it's about having balance. It's about regaining balance quickly. When somebody bumps into you, it's part of the game. So, yeah, they still do all that and so, um, and so I'm working with Terrell Owens and, uh, six other NFL players, obviously retired. He's a Hall of Famer. Yeah. And these guys, they love X three. I especially care for the NFL, the NBA, too, but mostly for technical reasons. The NBA, because they're so tall, a joint injury is much worse on a tall guy that it isn't a shorter guy because there's more leverage on the joint. They can they will feel more pain through that joint for the rest of their lives. You got be very delicate with a joint tall person when it comes to the NFL. Um, I see, um, the day they signed their NFL contract, they're told you can't get injured or otherwise you can lose your contract. It's kind of a funny contract. They can say we're going to pay you forty million dollars over the next whatever few years. But if you get injured, you only get paid, prorated for whatever you played and then the rest of that money's gone. Wow. Yeah. So it's a contract. Sorta. Sorta. Also, the drug tested like all the time. So everybody knows when they see a fit and a player. OK, you know that guy, he really did it. And like in Dr. Jake, which is helping him. So like I want to listen to that guy so that I really enjoy the because like also like there's some bodybuilders that really enjoy using ecstasy also.   Speaker1: [00:38:01] My question for you is, since I'm going to now be doing videos, I mean, I'm not an NFL player or anything like that. I'm a good person. So I'm going to be doing the X three soon. And is it like will I will I look like, you know, offense? Not that, you know, you're a man, so that's great. But like, I don't want to look like a bodybuilder. So is that going to cause that, like, I want to be like a politesse like Fiddlin must, you know, obviously body fat going down. It's great. But I'm nervous that I'm going to look like a bodybuilding woman, which is great if you like that. But I just don't happen to, you know, like that. Look for myself.   Speaker2: [00:38:41] Yeah. You're not going to look like that. Yeah. I mean, you seen Caroline. She looks incredibly feminine. Yeah. Yeah. So now she modifies the program a little bit. She doesn't do direct arm work. We just want to make our arms any bigger, but she does the postural movements, the lower extremity movements, uh, she does calves, she really likes how her calves look in heels. Now, they kind of didn't look very developed at all before, but they now. But I see. So a lot of people start strength training. And so then they start they have their hungrier because your body wants nutrients. So instead of eating nutrients, they eat Twinkies. So, yeah, I mean, did you get bigger? No, you got fatter, though. So sorry, it's a habit and I see it happen, you know, it's like, you know, you're not going to grow like, you know, 10 pounds of muscle look like a man. Usually that only happens to women who are chemically enhanced like they're injecting drugs. Oh, OK. Get to that to that look. And again, like I like the way you said it. If it's for you, it's for you.   Speaker1: [00:40:01] It's just not for you. So, you know, you guys heard it here. You're going to see me training. And part of the reason why I also wanted to do this was because, you know, Dr. Jay knows that I've had some, you know, not coronations and a lot of pain. And, you know, he said, like, this could potentially help you. So I am excited about this, but I want to talk about another rumor. Can you handle it?   Speaker2: [00:40:28] I can handle.   Speaker1: [00:40:29] Ok, so I heard a little birdie said to me that NASA published the paper, not a birdie, but it's kind of kind of public knowledge.   Speaker2: [00:40:40] It's public knowledge. It's just, you know, it was published in a scientific journal. And there's not that many people in the world that even know how to read those kind of things. But you know what? I will read you a quote from the paper. Let's do it. Yeah, it was a really, really powerful statement they made, but they're truly looking. What I'm doing and changing resistances for different ranges of emotion. As a way to manage the health of astronauts, because without a gravitational field, the body just starts coming apart. Yeah, like like there's two things that are like from it, from a technical standpoint. And obviously, we put a we put an unmanned vehicle on on on Mars already. So the challenge is to get a human to Mars. Will. Little robots with wheels, they do fine with radiation exposure and now exercise. But humans die. So what we need is now the shield from the radiation, like we know how to do that, but what we're going to have to ultimately do is build a spacecraft in space because that kind of shielding is heavy and the most challenging thing for a launch vehicle. Is how much weight, isn't it, the conclusion of the paper says if the exercise apparatus could be condensed to the size of a shoe box to meet the weight and volume restrictions imposed by NASA, it could potentially serve as a countermeasure for bone and strength loss on exploration vehicles.   Speaker2: [00:42:21] Now, exploration, they mean not the moon, right? I mean Mars. So. Yeah, we can we can pull this off and this is exciting. It's a great study and they used bone formation, blood markers, which are highly accurate, unlike the standard for testing bone density, which is a dual x ray. X rays, just a picture of bone and then use software so the picture can determine how dense or porous the bone is. Well, it's a picture analysis. So is it accurate? Not really right now. One of the developers of DEXA had a drink with me at a conference and he said it's like the worst measure in medicine, except it's the best we've got for bond. And in fact, it's considered excluded for analysis. If the same technician didn't run your before and after, you know that that says that there's like an art to lining up the bounding box on the bone, which is what they have to do. They have to look at your hip jobi from a macro perspective and get the box just in the right place. Well one technician doesn't like this, the other doesn't like this. So it's different numbers.   Speaker1: [00:43:37] And so, so if this device may or may not already be in production or whatever, so does this mean that like we can potentially get like maybe like you could do like travel sizes of this. Like I know I'm maybe wishing to fast   Speaker2: [00:43:52] Track says,   Speaker1: [00:43:53] Ok, well, even even smaller, you know. Like how much smaller.   Speaker2: [00:43:57] Well, OK, so like there's what NASA needs and then there's what the rest of us.   Speaker1: [00:44:02] Ok, five.   Speaker2: [00:44:03] True. Yeah. And also keep in mind from a material science perspective, a lot of the forces. That are occurring. Don't need to be engineered in exactly the same way for Earth because there's no gravity. So, you know, that might be different calls for flexibility, there might be. Some portions of latex, portions of nylon, portions of Cavaleiro, portions of, uh, you know, like a like a liquid carbon fiber.   Speaker1: [00:44:39] Are you ready for the last rumor?   Speaker2: [00:44:40] There is a lot of rumors and I'll say it again. So when I first came out with Yoshio's from devices, I was being criticized by medical doctors. Now, fortunately, once you show them the evidence, because immediately they imagine you don't have the evidence which is showing the evidence and the rationale, they're like, OK, I'll send my patients there. They do a complete 180. So they're never too excited about anything because is it going to work for everybody? No, nothing works for everybody. So they're realistic and they're like, I'll send some of my patients that are relatively ambulatory and relatively pain free because that's those are two requirements are so strong. They can't be like, you know, unable to use your legs and get a benefit in the legs. You've got great the force on your brain. The problem I saw with the fitness industry and I was given warnings by others that my friends who had been kind of crossing the line between medical advice and fitness. Like Venice fans in general, not too bright. And it's yeah, I mean, they just said, like, this is like some of the stupidest people you can find and they cannot absorb science. And, you know, it's like like I used to hear Jordan Peterson talk about the bottom 20th percentile of intelligent people are only qualified to push a map, though. They have a job where they have to drive vehicle or kill people that are intelligent. So I always thought, like, I know where he's getting that. No, he's referencing science. But I never looked up the study. But I thought it seems like a lot of people, 20 percent. And then I found bodybuilding.com and I found all 20 percent of stupid people over that. It was amazing.   Speaker1: [00:46:28] Let's go to the room.   Speaker2: [00:46:31] Ok. Yeah, I'm just I'm just enjoying my haters because the more I get attacked, the business just goes through the roof. No, because more people see the stupid comments and they're like, I got to see this guy. And they expect me to just be like, wrong about everything. And then they look up the studies and they're like, no, this guy is right about everything. I love him.   Speaker1: [00:46:49] Yeah, well, you're also a doctor, right? Right. So that makes you more credible. And then you have your research behind you. But here's the rumor. Here's a rumor right now. I think it's about a rumor. I heard that you may be running for governor of California. Did you almost spit out your coffee? Yeah. Is that a yes of the coffee or yes to the governor or to both?   Speaker2: [00:47:11] I was I was in Chicago for a few unfortunate years, but yeah. Yeah, I'm a California guy and I love my state. And it's great whether it is some great people. There's a lot of great people, actually. What I really love about it is great habits. We're healthier state, we like the outdoors. People get outside and do stuff I think is really sad when a state is financially upside down and it's also the eighth largest economy in the world. That is only one explanation, just grotesque waste. I won't even call it corruption. It's like we spent four billion dollars on a train and never laid a mile of track. Yeah, it's just gone, and most of it was on environmental studies was studying crickets and moths and stuff like that. Now I certainly care about the crickets and moths. That's obviously overboard. And it was a waste of the taxpayers money. And this is why we have a punishing capital gains tax. We have all kinds of strange things. And of course, the governor shut the whole state down for exorbitant periods of time with no scientific evidence to back up his decision, making it all. So I'm not doing it because I'm egotistical about it, I think a lot of guys get into politics, they think they're great. So clearly everybody else should think that that's not my story. I think I would do a great job. I think I understand the problem crystal clear in I can fix it. I don't think the others who are planning on running, I've looked at who's planning on running and I don't think they have a clear vision of what the state needs. I'm going to run until I win. Or I think there's a better candidate. There are some downsides to me, I might be a little opinionated, I might be seen as toxic masculinity.   Speaker2: [00:49:19] I've been accused of that before. I'm a I'm an aggressive guy. I played rugby. I had a lot of things that guys do that are, you know, sort of looked at like, you know, that joke wasn't funny. Yeah, I think jokes are funny. Sorry. And so. Am I perfect for California? I don't know, but I also don't think we should be we should be picking people based on their general presentation, how they look at their skin color. Let's get somebody qualified. Clearly, we need it. But what I'm terrified about is we'll still have these punishing taxes. Companies will still leave, like it'll still be just as screwed up as it is now, because Gavin Newsom, he's the guy for all the listeners in New York and other states. He's got his governor now and he's actually a friend of mine. I used to work for him. Uh. I like the guy, but he is just done way too many things without justification when it comes to the virus. And then and then on top of that, just just nonsensical monetary policy of the state. Just waste Rudel waste. It just needs to end. So it's again, like I mentioned earlier in the podcast, a lot of people want their politics and their nutritional condensed down into a meme. It's not that simple. But it's also not that complicated. We need to look at where the money's going and just fix a couple of problems. Am I going to fix everything in California in four or eight years? Impossible. So many things are screwed up, but we can fix a couple of big things. We can fix the budget.   Speaker1: [00:50:56] I said, well, I'm excited to have interviewed the potential new governor of California. And I think, you know, if you think about it from, like, your mission to kind of help the bone from inside, which is what literally holds you up as a human, like it is your skeleton, it's your structure, it's your foundation. We think of a house. You need that strong foundation. I think it's kind of ironic that you invented this this machine or this country or whatever you want to call it, contraption or what do you call it, tool, medical device or medical device that helps you do that. Right. Helps you become strong from the inside out. And then that's kind of what you do. You've been doing this for a while and now you're trying to do this as a governor. Like, I think that actually is beautiful, like a full circle. Like you're like, OK, I see the problem. Like, I want to fix as much as I can the infrastructure. I want to make the foundation strong for my state. And like that just shows the full circle moment when you do become governor, that this is a lifelong mission of yours to kind of see something that people weren't able to see because you have a fresh perspective, a fresh pair of eyes, and you're like, that's oh, that's how I fix it. Let me make that strong. And then everything else will come together. So I just wanted to kind of tie that in there. So, you know, this is going to be great excited to see how this turns around. And you have confirmed that you are going to be running for governor of California. So congratulations on that. And because this is a beauty podcast and we did talk about the beautiful weather in your beautiful state, what does beauty mean to you from your perspective?   Speaker2: [00:52:46] Attraction? What attracts people to other people? Turns out it is visible cues that indicate long life. That's what makes people attracted to one another, so like why why do women like strong men? Because they look like they're going to live a long time, be healthy for a long time. Maybe be able to take care of things, whatever that means, depending on where you are, you know, whether it's chop the wood, make make sure everybody's warm for the wintertime or go out and earn a living or, you know, protect the family from from whatever threats may come upon them. Physical strength seems like it is highly associated with longevity, so that's and low body fat, so like we visually can tell what somebody looks like and how healthy they are. So I see. Health and physical performance as. Different names for the same thing now. The reason I like the fitness talking points of what I like X three, that's the strength product, I don't really see it as a fitness device. It's more medical, it's more scientific. It's sort of like Ultranet to fitness. But when people get involved in fitness talking points, they're typically talking about their vanity, how good they look like I want to look like this, and some like when it's a guy who show a picture, a strong male. A lot of women and I really like the trend where women try to build a lot a lot of lower body strength because they like the shape of their legs, shape of their butts. That's wonderful because they're building muscle mass. That's going to put a greater demand on all the organs of the body for focusing for enforcing the other organs of the body to perform at a higher level, which is going to keep them alive longer. And a lot of muscle mass they're going to keep later in life.   Speaker1: [00:55:02] Yeah, but also that that trend for the lower body as well. Like we know and I'm sure, you know, as a doctor probably studied this, that it has shown that women who have more of a muscle mass in the thigh and buttocks area, the lower body part, they produce healthier babies. They store more vitamins and minerals and nutrients. So that it's. So I just wanted to add that because that's when you talk about attraction and like, people don't know why that's attractive, because subconsciously, I guess through many, many, like, you know, caveman times, that's what signal to men like, you know, that's why they call it childbearing hips.   Speaker2: [00:55:41] Well, you can't change the width of your face.   Speaker1: [00:55:43] Right. But like,   Speaker2: [00:55:44] You're it's the same no matter what.   Speaker1: [00:55:46] Yes.   Speaker2: [00:55:46] Well, yes, the curvier a girl is. And when I say curvy, I don't mean fat because very often women are like, oh, yeah, I'm curvy. And I'm like, no, you're obese. But I, of course, say that to be real. Don't convince yourself you're healthy when you're not. My that's that's a that's a smokescreen put in front of yourself, lying to yourself doesn't help, right? You're just masking a brutal problem. So why do I feel sorry for people who are addicted for food? Yeah, I have compassion for them. I mean, the food has been engineered so that it's addictive. It's not by accident, you know.   Speaker1: [00:56:25] But I want to go back to Dr. Jay. I know where we're talking to Dr. Jay, not Governor Jay yet. Yet I want to know about the beauty part. Like you left us hanging here like you were talking about you. You like that women are now focusing more on their lower extremities, which actually engage more muscles. It engages more organs. And it just does so much for the body overall. So finish telling us what beauty is to you.   Speaker2: [00:56:54] Its health, like what's beautiful to me is a healthy hemoglobin A1 C score. By the way, one of the metrics that still counts is a lot of metrics don't count like high cholesterol doesn't matter. The higher your cholesterol is, the longer you're going to live. So people were wrong about that for 20 years. People still say that, and really it's the cholesterol medications that. Harm them or the fact that you know why cholesterol was such a myth for so long? No. OK, so think of an artery. Let's say it's right here. Blood, blood flows through it. What happens is inflammation from eating vegetables or sugar accelerates and different inflammatory type situations that happen to the body cause arterial inflammation. So certain points in the artery, there's inflammation and then as low density lipoprotein flows through. The artery, it sticks at these information points and it may collect and then break loose and cause an aneurysm or heart attack. So. So it was seen as like these things that are sticking there cause the blockage, which are low density lipoprotein LDL. But that wasn't the cause, the cause was the information. So if you have a low sugar diet, having higher cholesterol is fine. In fact, you live longer. There's research to prove that. But it's when you have high sugar and high fat diet, which most people who don't really control the nutrition, that's what they do. Now you're looking at cardiovascular risk, but just cut sugar out in front. This is good to   Speaker1: [00:58:38] Know, guys. So I hope that everyone is taking notes because Dr. J. Is dropping some bombs from all different perspectives about health. And I can't wait to get my X three because I'm going to work on getting my body fat a little lower. So I'm excited about that. So Dr. J. You know about the Beauty Circle. And you know what I'm going to ask you next is where do you find yourself Excel? I feel like I know the answer to this, but I'm going to let you answer. Where do you find yourself excelling in the beauty circle and where do you find yourself needing a little bit more TLC?   Speaker2: [00:59:10] The consistency, the I think also just focusing on science. I don't know where that fits in, but not just doing the right things, but understanding why you're doing the right things. People need to take a little more responsibility when it comes to beauty products, you know what's in it. Are you sure, because some of them have some dangerous chemicals in them, some of them don't, some of them are health promoting, some of them are beauty promoting, but health diminishing. Right. You've got to know, like what you're putting on your skin and also what you put on your skin sometimes transfers into your bloodstream.   Speaker1: [00:59:50] I think a lot of times, right. Because our skin is the largest organ in our body. And you're being very generous because I know that there are even and you as a doctor could probably answer this better, because I'm not a doctor. I'm just like a crazy researcher who likes to, like, ask many questions. I'm the Wegerle girl. Like, I think my podcast should have been like, why? And that's all I ask is why? Why? Even as a child, I was so annoying to my teachers, like, what is photosynthesis and why do we need it and why and why I was that annoying kid. But aren't there some minerals or some medications that absorb better transdermal? Like we know that there is such a thing as your body absorbing. And when people deny this, I always say, so why do we have a birth control patch? Not that I'm promoting that. Why do we have a nicotine patch? Why is it that magnesium there have magnesium patches? Because it's absorbs transdermal, like there are so many other things. Yeah. So to say that the skin doesn't absorb it, I just I'm going to call it out as a lie. Yeah.   Speaker2: [01:00:53] Well now some things will transfer easier than others. Right.   Speaker1: [01:00:58] And so where would you say that. You think that you could use a little bit more help in the circle and that could be you know, it could be water intake. It could be sleep. It could be spirituality. It could be relationships to yourself with others. It could be bowel movements. Like where do you think? Or skin and makeup. Yes. For you. Where do you think that you need extra TLC? I don't say the makeup that we're not going to cut that category.   Speaker2: [01:01:24] And I don't know, I'm on film a lot like so you could pick up on me and keep me from being shiny. OK, but it's it's pretty easy. They don't need it. They don't need a blended into my hairline. So from from my perspective, answer your question. Yes. There's a lot of things people want me to present on. Recently been talking about dry fasting, meaning no food, no water and of course, hydration, like we hear about hydration all the time. But we don't have any baseline for hydration. Like the whole like you need two liters of water a day. Somebody made that up. Like there's no scientific basis in that at all. And so I've been I've been doing some spending some time reading about like what's done for Ramadan because Ramadan passing is fascinating and like I want to get that information of the world and. I don't quite have like I'm on so many podcast and there's a lot of media stuff, and then the filming days, like with Terrell Owens or we got another filming day on Friday, the world would be a whole day. It'd be cameras and lighting and stuff like that for more of just like a training kind of video stuff. So I'd like to just be able to free up some more time so I can get my research done because honestly, I'm only good at one thing. And most people are really good at one thing, right, and everything else, they just kind of limping along.   Speaker2: [01:02:56] But I can read research and remember forever. That's amazing, though, when I read research. I have to take notes. Wow. And I can I can read a study and draw a parallel to a study I read 10 years ago, and I will remember the author of the study I read 10 years ago and find it in 10 seconds, and then I'll be able to read the two side by side, draw a parallel and write about it. And so you like like one study, maybe in one totally different field, one maybe endocrinology, another one might be dermatology and I can go, OK, these these two things make sense. But because X is is as a parent and so is why now I have a conclusion I can I can come to or suggest. Right. OK, that's fair. That's yeah. That's really like the one thing. And that's also why I've never had anybody like real like I've had a couple of people who don't really understand research, make some, you know, silly Facebook videos about like what a jerk I am because I'm wrong about this and this and this. And then they provide no evidence. And so even the commenters are like, OK, you like you have no science. And the guy in his book used more than two hundred fifty references. Scientific studies. No. Usually you're not the one right? It's just foolish. There is no real scientists is actually ever had a problem   Speaker1: [01:04:27] With anything I said. So the category that you would probably want is the relationship with yourself to have more time so that you can read more research papers and really start, you know, getting some intel on this drive fast thing and just the whole phenomenon of fast. What I'm interested in hearing your findings. Keep keep me in the loop, please, because I am always interested in this. I think that the body's metabolic flexibility is really something that we haven't really explored as much as we could have, if that makes sense.   Speaker2: [01:05:04] That was very well put. So what we've traditionally been doing is looking at normative data. Now, let me define that for everybody. Normative data is what the average is, so like vitamin consumption or liquid consumption? Well. Considering half of our nation is overweight or obese or morbidly obese, do we really care what the averages are? So we're comparing ourselves to people who are the fattest and sickest that humans have ever been. Also, here's another like vegan thing right now, the Western diet standard American diet is 70 percent plant based. So we go to 80 percent. Are we going to be better? Because like I said, we're the fattest and sickest ever at 70 percent. By increasing the number, we're going to get better because that seems wrong.   Speaker1: [01:06:01] And of course, it is no, I mean, we can get this is like a whole nother podcast, but when you do find the research, I'm sure that you're going to have some product out there, you know, to help us with that, because I do feel like it's going to be trending soon, not trending, but like more studies are going to come out because there are so many fasting protocols and people are talking about fasting and going into ketosis and the formula for energy and all these things. So we haven't really looked at it. And if you think about the caveman days, and I always refer to that because I think that's like a baseline for, like Hercules. Right. You think about how people went for days without food. Right. And like also that all or   Speaker2: [01:06:39] One, they didn't have a hydro flask that they carried around for the perfect hydration.   Speaker1: [01:06:43] Right. But then also you think about the need from a nutritional perspective. Right. Like, I just had this conversation with someone on the live and we talk about like maybe they could have had one carrot, but that one carrot. There's actually a study I don't know if you know about that study, but it actually said you need 220 carrots to equal the nutritional value of a one like one carrot like, you know, from a long time ago that was more nutrient based, not like cropped like a model.   Speaker2: [01:07:12] Are you talking about engineering? Yeah.   Speaker1: [01:07:14] So like a lot of   Speaker2: [01:07:16] Guys that we messed with. Yeah.   Speaker1: [01:07:19] So like also considering that from our side diet, which is the standard American diet, that even if you are getting those vegetables, how many nutrients are really in that vegetable? Because you know, that whole thing about diabetes and people that are obese, you know, we are eating, consuming a lot of food that is empty, empty and nutrition just empty, carbs just empty nothing, which is why you're still hungry. And most of the people are just craving more. And it's like, I don't know why I eat more, but I ate so much. But I'm still because your body's saying I need more nutrients, I need more minerals, I need more hydration because like, even the water is not like the same as you could find it. And and you know this, right? Like a spring water is different like you would get. And nature is different than like a Poland Spring bottle of water. Like the structure of that is completely different. The way that your body absorbs it so we can go up like this is like as you can tell, I'm passionate about this and I feel like you do see that big plate of food, but I see sometimes a big plate of food of like emptiness. And when you eat value. Right. Like, I would love to hear your perspective before we we've been on this podcast for a while, so and I'm going to be respectful of your time. But when you eat these kinds of high nutrient based foods, you're not really so hungry and you're not craving things. Right. Like, isn't that remarkable?   Speaker2: [01:08:39] One meal a day. Yeah, I'm never hungry. Now, when it's time to eat and, you know, I can smell the food I'm about to eat, you know,   Speaker1: [01:08:48] So you don't get hungry.   Speaker2: [01:08:51] No, no, I'm totally calm all the time. OK, cool. Yeah, and you know, one meal or whatever. Twenty three hours.   Speaker1: [01:08:59] Ok, cool. So, Dr. Day, our podcast is coming to an end and something that I ask all of my guests is to share one tip that or one piece of advice that they would have shared with the younger version of themselves.   Speaker2: [01:09:14] So a lot of people think that X three, I'm most known for X three, even though probably the more important thing is the bone density. I mean, osteoporosis is a disease that kills as many people as breast cancer. I came up with the most effective treatment for it. So scientifically, that was a bigger achievement than making muscles grow. Now, I think over time, x ray will be recognized as something that keeps people alive longer because they have higher levels of muscle mass and lower levels of body fat. So both may be saving lives, but there's a more direct connection with with osteo strong in the piece of advice, I would I would tell myself because a. I got to work on this for a long time and the two products go hand in hand, the self education like you don't just learn in school, you learn the whole time you're doing something from a professional perspective, especially like me inventing things, creating things that nobody ever saw before and only heard of it is advice that I was given, but I didn't believe it at the time. Just be relentless. Just don't stop like, you know, you're right. And I did. Even if it takes your whole lifetime, you'll never have a great. Like, that's the worst thing is the person who had the idea and then they end up hating themselves because they never, ever knew if their idea was worth it or not, if it would have worked.   Speaker2: [01:10:50] And

Dr. Francoise Sidime is a neuroscientist and assistant professor at the College of Staten Island, Helene Fuld School of Nursing and Wagner College. She obtained her PhD in neuroscience at the Graduate Center CUNY in New York. Francoise currently lectures and teaches extensive skills employed in the field of biology and neuroscience. Francoise is also the founder and president of Ekarus Global Science, a program dedicated to providing academic advancements, mentorship, and research opportunities to high school students in the STEM discipline. Dr. Sidime is also the co-founder of a sister company called PreMedPro, a program that offers pre-med high school students training skills in the field of medicine. Vince Ferguson: Before we get started discussing your research into autism, tell my listeners what inspired you to go into the medical field and become a neuroscientist. Dr. Francoise Sidime: So, there were several reasons, but the one that actually sticks out was my mentor. At the time, when I was trying to pursue a medical career, we were all required to basically do research in labs because that's part of the requirement in order to get into medical school. So, when I went and I worked with my mentor, he did a lot of work in neuroscience and he had extensive knowledge and just really, really well-versed in the subjects. As a result, I admired everything that he was doing and the work he was working on. As a result, I felt that that's where I should be. Of course, when I started to operate on brains, opening them up and seeing all these intricate structures, I knew there was no turning back at that point. Vince Ferguson: At that point you were hooked? Dr. Francoise Sidime: Oh, I was hooked after that. Yes, that was it. That was it. Vince Ferguson: Wow. So, how did you get involved with autism? Dr. Francoise Sidime: So my mentor, that was a field that he was actually working on. So, his mentor prior to that worked with him when he was a PhD and a post-doctoral student. So they worked on different areas, Fragile X. And so he continued working on autism as well. When I came into the lab as his student... This particular mentor, by the way, has a name. His name is Dr. Abdeslem El Idrissi. So, when I started working in his laboratory, I found that he was working a lot on autism cases. As a result, I ended up jumping on those topics as well and I realized I liked them a lot, and that's how I got involved in the research as well. Vince Ferguson: Okay. Well, did you get involved in any particular area of autism? Dr. Francoise Sidime: Yes. So, the particular area that we actually focus on is called the Fragile X. So, because autism has a vast spectrum, as most people know, they particularly worked on a single area, which is on the Fragile X. It's called the Fragile X syndrome. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the Fragile X? Vince Ferguson: No. Dr. Francoise Sidime: No. Okay. So, they worked on the Fragile X syndrome and the thing about the Fragile X is that, because autism is very vast and there's so many areas that could be contributing to that particular disorder of autism, one of the things about the Fragile X is that you can actually pinpoint exactly where the issue is, and that issue usually is on the X-chromosome. So, there's an area there that's very fragile and it looks like an arm that's basically broken, and that area has this gene, which is called the FMR1 gene. That gene is basically silent. As a result, when this gene is silent, it means that whatever that gene is responsible for, it will not do. So, that area is going to have issues, of course. So, some of the symptoms you see when this gene is silent, that patients have anxiety, hyperactivity, depression. They have increased sensitivity to epileptic type of seizures. Dr. Francoise Sidime: As a result, you can really pinpoint that, "Okay, this part is silent so it's missing. This is what we see." So, it made it very easy to pinpoint where the issues are basically happening when you focus on this one particular niche, and that's what we actually did, so we focused on the Fragile X. Vince Ferguson: Sounds very interesting to me, as a layman. Wow. It really does. Now, your research has looked at phthalates or plasticizers and how it can cause neural behavioral abnormalities, similar to what is seen in individuals on the autism spectrum. Can you tell my listeners what phthalates are and why are they of concern? Dr. Francoise Sidime: Sure, absolutely. Right now phthalates, they're actually a huge hot topic, especially in the news. So, phthalates are plasticizers, and they're used to basically soften plastics. So, an example of a common phthalate that most people are aware of is bisphenol A, which is normally abbreviated as BPA, and this is the plasticizer that's sometimes used in baby bottles. So, there's a lot of commercials that say, "Oh, we're selling BPA-free bottles for babies." So, the phthalate we worked with, obviously it's in the same family, and this phthalate was called DBP, and that's dibutyl phthalate. This phthalate is an organic solvent, and this phthalate is used basically to mold a lot of plastics. So, plastic bottles like Poland Spring bottles, for example, toys, plastic plates, hospital supplies like catheters and tubing. They tends to use a lot of this DBP to basically help to mold it. Dr. Francoise Sidime: Now, the concern with these phthalates basically, like DBP, is that they're not stable, especially when you subject them to high temperatures. So what do I mean by high temperatures? These would be extreme conditions, like if you leave a plastic bottle with water and it's outside, for example, or if you heat up food on a plastic plate in the microwave. So, what happens is that that DBP becomes destabilized because it's actually in the plastic, so it becomes destabilized, and as a result, it leaches out of the plastic and into the environment. Now, in this case, the environment would be the water that you're consuming or the food that's basically on your plate. So, the reason why we picked DBP over BPA, bisphenol A, because there were a couple of studies that were done in 2000 and they found that there were high levels of DBP that were found in urine of the general population. So, that's why we focused on this particular phthalate. Vince Ferguson: Wow. That sounds amazing to me, because again, you talked about the microwave. So many of us have used microwave ovens to heat up our food. Dr. Francoise Sidime: Yes. Especially because a lot of food is delivered in plastic Tupperware, it's so much easier to throw that food in the microwave and eat immediately as such. Most people feel very lazy taking it out and basically putting it on a glass plate or ceramic plate. So, you could see how this could also be a problem. Vince Ferguson: Is it more of a problem for younger people or for adults? Dr. Francoise Sidime: Well, that's a very interesting question. So, what we did when we basically looked at our studies, we wanted to see, does it affect adults? Which generation does it affect more? So, some of the data that we basically got were different because when you become an adult, your brain has already been formed. So, what we found was that DBP would cause individuals to become sterile. So, it created different types of problems compared to a child. Well, maybe I shouldn't use a child. I should use mice because we did the study in mice. So, the offspring of mice basically exhibited behavior alterations that were similar to autism when they were exposed to this DBP. So, if you basically get exposed to it early on in development and your brain hasn't formed, then there's a possibility that you'd have these symptoms that may be related closer to autism. Vince Ferguson: And you guys used mice as an example. Dr. Francoise Sidime: That's right. So, the reason why we use mice it's because their bodies are similar. So, their anatomy is pretty similar to ours. The structures inside their organs are similar to ours. So, of course you won't go ahead and do these studies on humans because I mean, that could be dangerous. So, as a result, we did them on mice. So, what we did was we took pregnant mice and we targeted a particular window. That window was around, I think, gestational day 10 to 20, because that particular window is when the brain of the pups in the womb of the pregnant mouse, their neurons starts to connect. Dr. Francoise Sidime: As a result, we wanted to make sure that we gave that injection of DBP prior to their neuronal networks being formed so we could see, does this DBP really affect neuronal connections? And when they do get exposed to that DBP, what happens later on when they become grownups when we have to run studies on them? How are they going to behave? What's going to happen to some of the key proteins in their brains? So, that's what we were actually investigating. Vince Ferguson: So, what were your findings? Dr. Francoise Sidime: So, what we did, of course, as I said, we injected the mice and we waited until they were born. What we did was we looked at their brains at different time points. At first natal day one, when they were just born on day one, day seven, and then also at two months of age, just to see where the changes were occurring. Behavior-wise, what we noticed basically was that their brains, basically, the way the neuro behavior was similar to what we see in autism. So, we did a couple of tests because when you're dealing with mice, you run different types of tests to see, how are they behaving? How do you see hyperactivity and anxiety and so on and so forth? So, what we found was that they had increased locomotive activity. They were extremely hyper. They had anxiety. When we did a learning and memory test, they had decreased in this test. Dr. Francoise Sidime: So, in the test, you could teach them a couple of things and later on, they wouldn't remember. Also, they had a reduction in social interaction, meaning that when you presented... So, normally mice are curious. When you give them a new mouse, a stranger mouse, they will play with that mouse because they're trying to figure out who this mouse is. But when they were exposed to DBP early, they weren't really interacting. They would just sit in the corner. They won't socialize. So, the symptoms that we were obviously observing were consistent with the fact that they had this altered inhibitory system in their brain, or what we call the GABAergic system as well was actually affected.  And then what we did also after that... So, we noticed the behavior. So we wanted to see, well, the proteins that are responsible for making sure these behaviors are intact, what's going on with them? So, when we looked at them, we found that they were significantly down-regulated, meaning that the expression of them were less or they were basically affected as well. Vince Ferguson: That's amazing. Would you say that genetics play any part when it comes to autism in children? Dr. Francoise Sidime: Absolutely. I think it's basically both of them, environmental factors and genetics as well. Just like the way I've just mentioned, the Fragile X, so that's the particular area on the X chromosome that's affected. That would be genetics. And then obviously environmental, it would be something like dibutyl phthalate being exposed to the pregnant mother, for example, and then the child getting exposed to this DBP or dibutyl phthalate. So, it's definitely an interplay between both genetics and environmental factors. Vince Ferguson: Based on this study, you can safely say that humans should also be mindful of what we're putting in the microwave when it comes to heating up our food. Dr. Francoise Sidime: Absolutely. I mean, definitely we haven't run these studies in humans, but as I said, the anatomy of mice is very, very similar to the anatomy of humans. So, I would say one should be mindful of not heating up food on plastic plates. The other point that I would like to bring up while we're in that, because you just brought up a very good point, is that this DBP doesn't only penetrate our bodies orally. It could also go through the skin and inhalation as well. The reasons why we did these studies in low levels, because we wanted to see, because most people are not living by factories where you're making huge amounts of plastics, so how would these individuals get this DBP? So, clearly they have to be off low levels. So, what we also found is that, according to our research, is that DBP is used as a solvent as well. Dr. Francoise Sidime: It basically helps to make makeup, especially for young women, right? Because young women are using a lot of makeup in their young age bearing childbearing years. So, they use makeup and as a result, if there's DBP in it, it has a potential to cross the skin, cross the placenta, and then target an unborn baby. Because the molecule itself is hydrophobic, and therefore it can cross very, very easily through all these areas and target the baby. So, we did some studies just looking to see, well, if the mother was exposed to DBP, how much of that does the mother get in her brain versus how much the child gets or the pup gets? What we found was that the mother does get significant amounts in her brain, but definitely that DBP did cross the placenta and it does go to the brain itself as well. So, that was proof that it actually does reach the brain of these pups, the mice. Vince Ferguson: Wow. So, how would someone know that there's DBP in the product that they're using? Is it in their ingredients? Dr. Francoise Sidime: It should be listed. Right now, I believe by law, they should be listing whether products have DBP in there or not. That's why the baby bottles will say BPA-free. But most of the time, like when I buy my nail polish, for example, I always look for nail polish that says DBP-free so that it doesn't have it in there. The only thing is that I don't know what the rules and regulations are here in the United States, because I know that they're very slow in implementing some of these policies to stop DBP from being used as a solvent. I know in Europe, a lot of them have started to ban DBP as part of a solvent in terms of softening these plastics. But I think the U.S. hasn't quite gotten there yet, but hopefully eventually they will get there where they can ban this DBP from being used, and try and use alternatives that they can, just like what they're doing with the BPA, to see how they can soften plastic in a very different way. Vince Ferguson: Most definitely. This is very important. I can stay on this topic for a little longer, but we don't have that much time. Thank you. Dr. Francoise Sidime: Sure. Vince Ferguson: But also, I understand you are awarded the Marshall Plan Scholarship to conduct research in Austria at one of the hospitals in a town called Graz. Can you tell my listeners about that experience doing research abroad and also outside of the United States? Dr. Francoise Sidime: Yes. That was a phenomenal experience because you do all your research here in the United States, and you're always curious, and you're always wondering, "Well, how are things done elsewhere, abroad? Is it the same? Do they follow the same paradigms?" Because obviously the way that we get to graduate school and the way we apply with our GREs and the process is a little bit different than it is in Europe. So, I was really curious to see how this is actually done abroad. So, I did go to Austria first in 2011 to conduct research. At that time I was working with a team that were collaborating with seven EU countries on a project called biothane. So, they were looking at how food would affect the kidneys, and I was part of that team. And then a year later, I basically secured a scholarship to return back to Austria and work with another team, an amazing team in that same hospital in Graz and what they were working on was the brain. Dr. Francoise Sidime: They were looking at the brain kidney axis and seeing how contrast media, this is the media that's used when you're doing a scan, like if you want to scan the kidney, for example, you'd use a contrast, so they were looking to see whether that's safe for the kidneys and is the kidney basically excreted that contrast without being harmed. I learned a lot because I moved, it opened me up to other areas instead of just focusing on the brain, but looking at how the brain can work with other areas as well and other organs in the periphery. So, yeah, as a result, I was really impressed with that time when I was over there, that I decided I could come back here and encourage other students in the university to also try and apply for that scholarship so they could have the same experience and opportunity that I had. Vince Ferguson: Wow. We're going to talk about that a little later on, but how long did you stay in Austria? Dr. Francoise Sidime: So, I spent my summers there. So, the first, 2011, I spent about three, three and a half months. And then the following year, I also spent about that time as well, because I was still working on my research work back in the States. So, I couldn't stay out there longer than that. Vince Ferguson: Very nice. Good experience though, I would say, right? Dr. Francoise Sidime: Phenomenal. Yes. Really, really phenomenal experience. Vince Ferguson: Now, some of your other lab work has looked at the amino acid taurine and how that can reduce plasma glucose levels. Can this be a potential aid for those with diabetes? Dr. Francoise Sidime: So, taurine's a great amino acid. Some people heard of it's been added to Red Bull, right? Vince Ferguson: Yes. Dr. Francoise Sidime: People drink Red Bull, but most of the time they don't normally explain what the taurine actually does. But the thing with taurine is that it's a sulfur containing amino acid, and it's one of the most abundant free amino acids in many of our excitable tissues in our brain, skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles. One of the things about taurine, it's actually been important to prevent age-dependent decline of cognitive function. So, as a result, it's been shown and proven that when there's reduced taurine, and they've looked at that in mice that have a knockout for one of the steps that makes taurine, right? Because I'm trying to keep this very much in layman's terms and not use all of these fancy words. Vince Ferguson: Please, please, please. Thank you. Dr. Francoise Sidime: So, when there's a reduction in taurine in mice, they've been reported to show severe functional histopathology in the visual system, skeletal system, the heart, the pancreas and the brain. But if you increase supplementation that's shown increased benefits acting through the same organs as well. So, what we wanted to do was we wanted to look and see what would happen if we gave our mice taurine. So, we had two groups of mice, one that weren't fed taurine chronically for two months and then the others that were. We wanted to see how would they deal with glucose or diabetes. So, what we did was that we injected both groups of mice, ones that had taurine and the other ones that didn't have taurine, with a glucose shot. It's called a glucose tolerance test. Dr. Francoise Sidime: Basically we wanted to see what the results would be. So, what we found basically was that the mice that were not fed with taurine were not able to handle the glucose very well. So, they started to have huge spikes in their plasma glucose levels about 30 minutes into the test. Where the mice that were fed with taurine, they gradually increased, but not to the level that the mice that were not fed with taurine got to, and they were hypoglycemic, closer to baseline levels through the entire two hours of the test that we conducted. So, these were great findings that we found. So, I'm hoping that at some point this would be work that we could look at in humans and see whether we could get the same findings as well, because again, most of our findings are being conducted in mice. Vince Ferguson: Based on these findings, would you advise individuals to take taurine? Dr. Francoise Sidime: So, yeah, that's an interesting question. So, there was an individual that I knew that used to take taurine and consume it. He would state that, "You can use me as an example when you present your lab work because I'm living proof that taurine actually works. I'm a walking specimen." He used to have tremors, and he mentioned to me that when he took taurine, basically these tremors were reduced. Now, I think that's amazing. However, I can't give that type of medical advice nor am I allowed to, because we do our studies in mice. Most of these studies that we do in the lab, of course, like in any laboratory there's series of steps that one has to take. You do studies in mice before you move on to humans and you have a board that basically approves these different steps. But I'm hoping that, depending on how far this research goes, that maybe one day we try out human trials. That's something that I'd have to speak with my still current mentor, because I still work with him, Dr. El Idrissi. Dr. Francoise Sidime: But the exciting thing is that we're part of a taurine society. It's called the Taurine Society, and we're part of a team that, every two years, we meet up to look and see what the benefits of taurine in research, and we share our data. So, we go to different countries around the world every two years, and we share our data. So, hopefully yes, that this one day would take place where we actually do some human trials. Vince Ferguson: Yeah. Because I know that taurine is also available in certain foods, right? Dr. Francoise Sidime: Yes. So, some foods will actually add taurine into their food because they believe that when you give it, it has benefits. But what we also found with taurine is that when you give it for a short period of time, we see the benefits. But what tends to happen if you give it chronically for too long, then the reverse happens. So, the mechanism changes. So, that's why it's important to investigate this further because chronically the mechanism is different from when you give it acutely for a short period of time. That's why I wouldn't be comfortable to recommend and tell anyone right now, because of the studies that we're running, that this is exactly what one should be doing as a human, and I'm not licensed to do that anyway. Vince Ferguson: Right. Right. Okay. So, I won't mention that you recommend this to everybody, so my listeners don't go out there and run out there and get a run on the taurine market. We'll stay away from that. Dr. Francoise Sidime: Yeah. For the meantime, until we've ironed out all the kinks, if any. Vince Ferguson: Yeah. Well, let me know, okay? Please. I want to know. Dr. Francoise Sidime: Absolutely. Absolutely. For sure. Vince Ferguson: Now, you are also the founder and president of Ekarus Global Science and the co-founder of PreMedPro. Are these charitable organizations? Dr. Francoise Sidime: Well, I could call them charitable because I know it's not a nonprofit because I haven't been getting funds for it. So, this is something that I started because I saw the need for programs like this because at the college level, I was part of a minority program. Well, it was a program that was substantially increasing the number of underrepresented individuals in the STEM discipline. This program was called the LSM Program, and this was founded by Louis Stokes. So, it was called the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation. What that program did for me was wonders, because it basically paid for my Master's at the time when I was taking my Master's and it made pretty much all of us who were in that program do extensive research, go and publish and not focus on working, but focus on our education. Dr. Francoise Sidime: As a result, I realized the importance of programs like this. So, I wanted to start something at a high school level because I felt it's always good to grab the students while their minds are still young and we can still mold them. I figured that's the perfect time. I like to work with underrepresented students because sometimes we don't have the mentorships that other groups may be lucky to have. I've used my previous experience and said, "Well, it's important to set up something like this." So Ekarus focuses on exposing students to research at the college level, because it's much more... How can I put it? It's definitely of a higher level than you would do at the high school level, because some of the techniques that we use or we teach the students are very different. As a result, it makes them extremely competitive when they apply to schools out there, like colleges or even prestigious colleges. Dr. Francoise Sidime: Now, I didn't only want to stay within only doing the research component, so I also wanted to help medical students, so that's how PreMedPro came about as well. I was working with my colleague, Dr. Christine Bishara, and we decided that that would be something great, where we could bring in research and medical type of guidance to young students who may be interested. Bottom line is that when you expose students early on to touching the microscope or teaching them how to use a stethoscope or using a blood pressure cuff or machine, students get to feel what it's like to be in these particular fields and then they don't think that they're so far off. Also, when they see individuals like yourself, maybe they see a minority, a female wearing a lab coat, it doesn't look foreign and they could say, "This is something I would like to be, and I know it's possible because if she could do it, so can I." Vince Ferguson: Wow. Love it. Love it. Love it. Dr. Francoise Sidime: Thank you. Vince Ferguson: Really, role models are so important. Mentors, mentorship is so important and that's what you're doing. Dr. Francoise Sidime: Absolutely. Vince Ferguson: It's great. Dr. Francoise Sidime: It happened to me. I've had great mentors. The process itself is very vigorous to get into, and that guidance is key because those mentors have walked that journey. They know what it takes. They know when these deadlines are. So, it's important that you also teach the younger generation that's coming about that these are the deadlines, so this is how you have to be vigorous. You have to start off in college with a 4.0 GPA and try and keep it at a 4.0, so you don't ruin your chances of trying to get into medical school, for example. Vince Ferguson: Do students working with Ekarus get the opportunity to conduct research abroad? Dr. Francoise Sidime: Yes. So, one of the things that we started with some of my mentors... So, there's one mentor I haven't mentioned who was part of the LSM program, Dr. Claude Brathwaite, who played a huge role as well in my journey in becoming a neuroscientist. So, he started the Global CUNY project that allowed college students to basically go abroad and do research. What we decided was we could expand that and start doing it in different parts of the world, of course. So, I thought that this would be great for Ekarus as well, if the high school students are able to do that, where they can go abroad as well and do research. So, some of the countries... My mentor, Dr. Abdeslem El Idrissi, from Morocco, so we usually send students to Morocco to do research out there. Vince Ferguson: Wow. Dr. Francoise Sidime: We allow them to also experience the culture by going to cities like Casablanca, Fez, Taounate, for example. So, as a result, this is how I decided that high school students also should be given that opportunity to go abroad and start doing the research. Because if they're doing it here in the States, then there's no difference if they can do it abroad as well. Vince Ferguson: Wow. That is so amazing. That is so powerful. I really appreciate- Dr. Francoise Sidime: Thank you. Vince Ferguson: Yes. What you're doing is awesome, and I actually have more questions, but I'm not going to ask them because I'll be on here for hours with you, Dr. Sidime. Dr. Francoise Sidime: No problem. Vince Ferguson: But where can my listeners find out more about you and your work? Dr. Francoise Sidime: So, I have a website www.ekarus.com. That's spelled E-K-A-R-U-S.com. So if you go there, you'll be able to see information about Ekarus, and also the PreMedPro as well. If you go to www.premedpro.com, that also will lead you to the medical part for the high school students. I'm also on Instagram as well, and the Instagram handle is @ekarusglobalscience. So again, spelled Ekarus the same way, global science, all one word. So, we're on Instagram as well. When they go on, they'll be able to see young high school students like themselves, minorities as well, conducting research in a lab, presenting their research, doing dissections, so that they can get a feel. And also speaking as well because they teach other students what they're doing in the lab as well, so that they can get insights on what's actually happening at Ekarus.

Markets Rebound, Nestle Aims To Sell Waters Business & Airlines Fly Higher | Daily Financial News Summary for Friday, June 12, 2020 Major indexes made a rebound Friday, following a poor trading session on Thursday. The Dow Jones rose by 1.90, the S&P 500 by 1.31%, and the NASDAQ by 1.01%. Despite the gains today, all three indexes have posted their first weekly loss in a month. Oil fell again, for the second day in a row. West Texas Intermediate fell by 0.2%, settling at $36.26 per barrel. This is the first time that West Texas Intermediate has ended in a loss in the past seven weeks. Gita Gopinath of International Monetary Fund spoke in a video released Friday about the state of the economy and how its recovery has been slower than expected. She used the words “significant scarring” to describe the economy's current state. IMF is expected to release an updated global growth projection on June 24. This is to follow April's projections of a 3% global contraction. A possible second wave of the coronavirus has hit certain areas in the United States. Texas saw an increase of over 2,500 new cases within a single day yesterday. Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico have all seen a 40% increase in new cases recently. Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina all experienced an over 30% increase in cases last week. Officials in Texas discussed the idea of reinstating the stay-at-home order. Naeem Aslam from AvaTrade spoke about Friday's rebound: “I suspect the bounce is a dead cat bounce because the sentiment is further dented by the fresh comments by the chief economist of the IMF who said that the world economy is growing much slower than the anticipation and the scars of the coronavirus pandemic may linger for much longer.” Consumer sentiment rose in June, for another month in a row. In May, consumer sentiment was at 72.3. This increased to 78.9 in June, above the estimate of 75. This was the largest margin of increase since 2016. This is an indication that consumers are becoming more confident with the condition and future expectations for the economy. Said Richard Curtin of the University of Michigan's Survey of Consumers: “The turnaround is largely due to renewed gains in employment, with more consumers expecting declines in the jobless rate than at any other time in the long history of the Michigan surveys.” Nestle announced its plan to sell most of its Nestle Waters business in North America within the next 6-8 months according to inside sources, with the exception of its international brands like San Pellegrino and Perrier. This would include its regional spring water brands, including Poland Spring, Deer Park, and Ice Mountain. It also would include its purified water business and beverage delivery service. Its direct-to-consumer and office beverage delivery service brands include ReadyRefresh by Nestle and the Nestle Pure Life brand would also likely be a part of the final sale.

Join John, Ryan, Mike, Steve, Marc and special guest John King of Poland Spring Resort for the latest Golf News from the 19th Hole.

In this episode we travel to New Jersey and visit with our friend Chas Dente. We do a general overview of popular conspiracy's, in the process we find out about Chas's disgust for Poland Spring Water. As we sit in my 04 Honda Civic with roll-up windows, we try to figure out what the truth really is. Does Poland Spring really put some kind of sodium product in their water to make us more thirsty?? Are Chas's shirts really Black?? Is it the extra estrogen they are putting in plastic that makes Anthony Quinn so soft and lovable?? These questions, and unbelievable amounts more, will be answered on this episode of QUINNSPIRACY.

Based on breakthrough new science in the field of hydration, the new book debunks many popular myths about "getting enough water" and offers a revolutionary five-day jump start plan that shows how better hydration can reduce or eliminate ailments like chronic headaches, weight gain, gut pain, and even autoimmune conditions. Chronic headaches...brain fog...fatigue...weight gain...insomnia...gut pain...autoimmune conditions. We may think these and other all-too-common modern maladies are due to gluten intake or too much sugar or too little exercise. But there is another missing piece to the health puzzle: Proper hydration. Yes, even in this era of Poland Spring many of us are dehydrated due to moisture lacking diets, artificial environments, medications, and over-dependence on water as our only source of hydration. For this reason, that new diet or exercise plan may fail because our body doesn't have enough moisture to support it. Quench presents a wellness routine that can reverse all of that, based on breakthrough new science in the field of hydration. You will be surprised to learn that drinking too much water can flush out vital nutrients and electrolytes. Here is where "gel water" comes in: the water from plants (like cucumber, berries, aloe), which our bodies are designed to truly absorb right down to the cellular level. In fact, Ms. Bria's work as an anthropologist led her to the realization that desert people stay hydrated almost exclusively from what they eat, including gel plants like cactus. Based on groundbreaking science from the University of Washington's Pollack Water Lab and other research, Quench offers a five-day jump start plan: hydrating meal plans and the heart of the program, smoothies and elixirs using the most hydrating and nutrient-packed plants. Another unique feature of their approach is micro-movements-small, simple movements you can make a few times a day that will move water through your fascia, the connective tissue responsible for hydrating our bodies. You will experience more energy, focus, and better digestion within five days...then move onto the lifetime plan for continued improvements, even elimination of symptoms. My guest on today's podcast, and the author of Quench - Dr. Dana Cohen - has been successfully practicing medicine here in New York City for 20 years utilizing a distinctive medical approach. Dr. Cohen has helped thousands of patients find relief after repeated unsuccessful attempts with other practitioners. Dr. Cohen was board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in 1998. She is an advisor to the Board of Directors of the American College for the Advancement of Medicine (ACAM), the leading voice of Integrative Medicine for more than 1,500 MD, DO, ND, and master-level health-care providers. She has been the program director for their conferences and gathered the leaders of functional and integrative medicine to give world-class symposiums. She received her MD from St. George’s University School of Medicine, and completed a three year internal medicine residency at Albany Medical Center. During our discussion, you'll discover: -The background of Dana's book and why water isn't always the ideal way to hydrate...7:32 Searched for innovative topic on which to devote substantial research Co-author approached regarding hydration techniques "New phase" of water Is it possible to hydrate via food? The 8 glasses a day myth Comes from nowhere, similar to the food pyramid Some say they drink little water and remain hydrated -What is "gel" water, and how does it differ from "regular" water?...11:26 Also known as " Slightly thicker, different chemical equation (H3O2) Desert plants have gel inside (thickened water) Gel water is found in waterfalls, and in nature in general It's the type of water found in our cells -The best foods to eat which contain the gel water...14:41 Chia seeds gel when exposed to water Cucumber seeds are gelatinous Lettuce Cauliflower Fruits Fiber mixed w/ water becomes undrinkable when left; becomes gel water -How hydration (and dehydration) is measured via food intake...16:35 There's no research on determining clinical dehydration (although we know when someone is truly dehydrated) The means of determining hydration levels via water consumption have not been applied to food as of yet -How people who dwell in deserts hydrate...22:08 Bedouins "front load" water consumption (first thing in the morning w/ electrolytes) Robes they wear are quasi humidifying tents Drink camel's milk, goat's bread Low-fat diet is counterproductive Ghee is very high in gel water -Why chia is such a potent source of hydration...26:08 Rich source of Omega 3 fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid Grinding chia seeds; creates more gel water when add water to it Perfect thing to add to smoothies Lectins in chia seeds: proceed w/ caution Tara Fix recipe: 12 oz. water 1 tsp ground chia seeds 4 oz. kombucha Pinch of rock salt Books by Christopher McDougall: Natural Born Heroes Born to Run -Ancestral hydration tactics from history...32:54 Nomadic cowboys in Uruguay consumed Yerba Mate Has all vitamins and electrolytes necessary to sustain life Dissolving plants in water delivers nutrients and hydration from the plants better than water alone Ancient pottery shows signs of gelatin from grains; evidence of eating lots of stews containing grains and vegetables Hasda people consumed Baoba fruit: Blended flesh w/ water; full of fat, fiber and vitamins (an ancient smoothie) -The link between fascia and hydration and why it's so important...39:30 Fascia is the network of collagen that surrounds every cell and organ in our body (like the outer walls of the grapefruit holding in the fruit) : Motion that stretches tissue and generates electricity Study found that women who fidgeted less than other women had a 43% increase in all-cause mortality Small movements are better than nothing Dry skin brushing -A recipe for "beauty water"...48:56 Water mixed w/ simple ingredients: blueberries, pomegranates, lemon, etc. Adds electrolytes, structure to the water It's very possible to over hydrate; dispose of electrolytes before their efficacy can be applied to the body -And much more...

Hey baby, what’s your back story? It should be a pick-up line at a bar, yet it somehow is not a pick-up line at any bar that I know of except maybe in a New Yorkercartoon or a bar in a town where there’s one of those MFA programs in writing literature for literary people doing literary things. Anyway, it’s a term writers throw around all the time and it is basically just how we imagine our characters’ lives went before they are in the actual story that we’re writing. I know! How can you imagine that your character had a life before your story? It’s like imagining your spouse had a life before you that wasn’t totally centered around you. Us narcissists have a hard time with that. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I’ve never met anybody who wasn’t important… Stephen Moffat, Dr. Who, A Christmas Carol According to a post on Now Novelthere are three uses of back story. Developing the understanding of the characters. Like if your dad died of a heart attack in front of you and you couldn’t save him, then your character might have a savior complex. It helps the reader understand your characters’ motivations. It can heighten the stakes and the suspense. You were once addicted to dating cops. Cops were always bad for you. Will you date this one? NO! YOU MUST NOT. It makes it real damn it. By the time, you make it into a book, you’re not going to be a blank slate, born out of Zeus’ head or a clamshell fully formed on page 1. We all have prologues. Standout asks how much back story does a story need and answers its own question pretty simply: If judged solely on complexity, the answer to ‘how much back story should I include?’ would be ‘enough to pay for the reader’s efforts,’ however you also need to consider immersion. - Standout Ah. Okay? Here is our advice: Don’t be fake. Don’t be pretend. We all know people who show up at a party, engage in small talk about absolutely nothing other than the weather, the traffic, where they work. There is no underlayment. It’s like they are a rug thrown on the floor, but if you touch that rug it will just slip away because there’s nothing holding it there. Do not let your characters be rugs. Ground those suckers with nails and staples if you have to. ModPodge them to the floor, give them a life before you. Don’t tell us everything about them. We do not know that they prefer Aquafina to Poland Spring water or that they had an ingrown toenail when they were twenty-four any more than you want to know about the guy at the party’s hemorrhoid treatment unless it’s really good. Be sparing. Stephen King: The most important things to remember about back story are that (a) everyone has a history and (b) most of it isn’t very interesting.

Producer/Host: Meredith DeFrancesco a) Today we hear updates on the status of proposed waste reform and water extraction bills in the Maine State Legislature. b) Yesterday, the Environmental and Natural Resources Committee made decisions on five bills that could impact industrial water extraction in Maine, specifically by Poland Spring, owned by Nestle Waters North America. The ENR Committee voted unanimously “ought to pass” on LD 112 ” An Act to Acknowledge Potable Water as a Necessity.” They voted unanimously “ought not to pass” on LD 1358, “An Act to Further the Public Interest In All Maine Waters”, LD 413 ” An Act to Ensure the Rights of Citizens to Groundwater in the State” and LD 197 “An Act to Convene a Working Group to Authorize a Public Trust for Maine’s Groundwater”. The Committee voted to move LD 1474 “An Act to Ensure Water Equity and Accountability for the People of the State”, sponsored by Rep. Hickman legislature.maine.gov/bills/getPDF.asp?paper=HP1076&item=1&snum=129, to the Legislative Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee. The work session is not yet scheduled. c) Tomorrow, April 26th, at 10 am the Environment and Natural Resources Committee will hold a work session on LD 401, An Act To Preserve State Landfill Capacity and Promote Recycling,” would request the accurate tracking and record keeping of waste from its generation to final disposal point, including as landfill leachate discharged into Maine waterways, including Juniper Ridge Landfill leachate deposited into the Penobscot River. It would walk back a 2011 state statute that allows out of state waste to be re-classified as in-state waste. It would also walk back the ability for the state to meet recycling goals by counting construction and demolition debris used as landfill covering and waste biosolids used as agricultural fertilizer. It would strengthen protections for the health of those living in close proximity to waste disposal facilities, including the Penobscot Nation.

Wednesday April 3, 2019 Poland Spring Water from Spring? No Says Lawsuit

Sheryl O’Loughlin is ready for a change. It’s not that O'Loughlin, the CEO of adaptogenic beverage brand REBBL, doesn’t love her current job; since joining the company in 2015, she’s embraced the role, the company and its passionate commitment to social responsibility. Rather, she believes that a business’ ability to constantly evolve and to take a progressive approach to the times at hand can ultimately spell the difference between success or failure. In an interview included in this episode of Taste Radio, O'Loughlin noted, “it’s really a matter of us thinking about the market, or even our companies as a constant experimentation to see what works and what doesn’t work versus thinking about it as this is the decision we’ve made and we’re done.” Listen to our full-length conversation with O'Loughlin, in which she spoke about the trials and tribulations of leading fast-growing companies, the urgency of supporting equality in the workplace, why she believes that successful business relationships are built on empathy and compassion, and why entrepreneurs need to start turning their phones off. Also included in this episode: A chat with Paul Coletta, the CEO of fresh, organic food and juice company Urban Remedy, which recently added $17 million in new funding from General Mills’ business development and venturing unit, 301 INC. And in the latest edition of Elevator Talk, we heard from Martin Kabaki, the founder of innovative tea brand Kabaki Purple Tea. Show notes: 2:24: So Much Sparkle To Speak Of -- With LaCroix leading the charge, sparkling water has emerged as one of the hottest categories in the beverage industry. As a deluge of new products and brands -- from massive players like Nestle Waters and PepsiCo to regional upstarts -- come to market, the hosts discuss the various paths that companies are taking to make their mark in fizzy water. 8:25: Interview: Sheryl O'Loughlin, Plum Organics Co-Founder, REBBL CEO -- Throughout her 25-year career as an entrepreneur and executive, Sheryl O'Loughlin has been known as a passionate leader with a deep commitment to social responsibility. She led Clif Bar as its CEO for nearly 10 years spearheading growth from $100 million to $200 million in revenue and later co-founded and helmed organic baby food company Plum Organics, which reached $100 million in sales before being sold to The Campbell Soup Co. in 2013. Currently the CEO of elixir brand REBBL, O'Loughlin discussed the highs and lows of her remarkable career and approach to leadership in the challenging food and beverage space. 50:52: Interview: Paul Coletta, CEO, Urban Remedy -- What a difference three years make. When we first met Paul Coletta in 2015, the newly appointed CEO of organic food and juice company Urban Remedy was primarily focused growth through direct-to-consumer sales. The strategy was to leverage the company’s small brick-and-mortar presence to drive sales and build awareness for its e-commerce platform. Urban Remedy has since pivoted to an omnichannel strategy that embraces retail placement in natural grocery as much as it does online sales. We sat down with Coletta at the 2018 Winter Fancy Food show and discussed the company’s pivot and the reasoning behind it. 1:10:00: Elevator Talk: Martin Kabaki, Founder, Kabaki Purple Tea -- Driven by a social mission, Kabaki is an innovative brand of ready-to-drink teas made from antioxidant-laden Kenyan purple tea leaves. Founded by Martin Kabaki, the company donates 10 percent of profits to provide access to better medical care for the people of Kenya. We spoke with Martin about the launch and development of Kabaki, a finalist in New Beverage Showdown 14, in this edition of Elevator Talk. Brands in this episode: LaCroix, Purity Organic, Wave Soda, Cape May Brewing, Virtue Sparkling Energy, Phocus, Poland Spring, Polar, Bubly, Nestle Waters, Clif Bar, Plum Organic, REBBL, Urban Remedy, POM Wonderful, Jamba Juice, Pinkberry, Kabaki Purple Tea
