Story at-a-glance Research shows starch-based "biodegradable" plastics break down into microplastics that accumulate in organs, causing significant tissue damage in the liver, intestines and ovaries Even at low doses similar to human environmental exposure, these microplastics disrupt blood glucose levels and trigger metabolic problems within just three months Starch-based microplastics disturb gut microbiome balance and circadian rhythms, leading to long-term health issues including weight gain and compromised immunity The damage occurs through oxidative stress mechanisms and severity increases at higher exposure levels, challenging the assumption that biodegradable means safe Practical protection strategies include using glass or stainless steel containers, filtering drinking water, avoiding plastic food packaging, choosing natural fiber clothing and making smart everyday swaps
Toxic Kelly Is Back.
Are you a serial snacker? Is there ALWAYS room for dessert? Do you find yourself feeling hungry throughout the day, despite just eating? Or maybe you notice reaching for a bag of chips whenever you're feeling stressed? Did you know that there are actually different types of hunger that can shape our eating habits? Spoiler: You're NOT broken!Welcome to Salad with a Side of Fries, the podcast where we dig into the surprising truths about how we eat and why. Today, host and health coach Jenn Trepeck is tackling a topic that's far more complex than it seems: hunger. We're going to explore the fascinating world of hedonic hunger, the kind driven by pure pleasure, and how it can often override our natural homeostatic hunger, that biological signal that tells us we actually need fuel. We'll also explore how processed foods significantly impact our hunger signals and strategies for managing each type. Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about your cravings and your plate, because by the end of this episode, you'll have a whole new understanding of what it means to truly be hungry. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Hedonic hunger, driven by dopamine, can override the biological drive of homeostatic hunger(06:48) Hunger is not a moral failing, and how to identify homeostatic hunger(12:01) Cravings versus hunger, and studies show high nutrient density diets reduce hunger pains and cravings(16:58) Is it hunger, or is it restriction, and hedonic hunger involves eating for pleasure, triggered by ultra-processed foods or stress(22:47) Controlling hedonic hunger(27:35) Emotional hunger is eating to cope with emotions, and recognizing emotional eating is key to managing it(33:50) Conditioned hunger is defined as a learned response to stimuli or situations(37:55) Hidden hunger is defined as cellular micronutrient deficiency, often from processed foods(43:00) Toxic hunger is defined as discomfort from processed food toxins(47:34) Nutrient-dense, whole foods emphasized as key to balancing all hunger typesKEY TAKEAWAYS:Hunger is multifaceted and often extends beyond the need for energy. There are several types of hunger—hedonic, emotional, conditioned, hidden, and toxic—that are distinct from basic physiological (homeostatic) hunger. This indicates that a complex interplay of pleasure can drive eating, emotions, learned responses, and even cellular deficiencies or toxic exposures, rather than just an empty stomach.Understanding the various drivers of hunger is crucial for managing eating behaviors effectively. Recognizing whether hunger is due to a biological need, an emotional state, a learned trigger, or even a cellular deficiency allows individuals to address the root cause more effectively. For example, emotional eating requires different strategies than homeostatic hunger.Food quality has a significant impact on hunger and overall well-being. Eating Nutrient-dense foods can reduce true hunger pains and cravings, while processed foods contribute to "hidden" and "toxic" hunger due to nutrient deficiencies and the presence of toxins. This underscores the importance of whole, unprocessed foods not just for satiety, but also for preventing various forms of discomfort and health issues often mistaken for hunger.QUOTES: (07:13) "The body only has so many ways to communicate with us." - Jenn Trepeck(14:21) “Eating nutrient-dense foods minimizes hunger pains." - Jenn Trepeck(21:06) “Hedonic hunger is when people get into that shame and blame and beat themselves up.” - Jenn Trepeck(31:12) “One of the best questions my therapist ever asked me was, where am I not being fed?" - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: HungerThe Bulls-Eye of Change

If you've ever worked in a cell therapy lab or handled biologics, you've probably experienced the pitfalls of cryopreservation. We've all mourned the loss of precious samples after a freeze-thaw cycle gone wrong or watched viability figures plummet, wondering where it all went awry.In this episode of The Smart Biotech Scientist Podcast, Jeffrey Allen, Chairman and CEO of Evia Bio, shares how nature-inspired solutions are changing the cell preservation game. With a background spanning finance, operations, and leadership across the biotech landscape, Jeffrey brings a unique perspective on bridging science and practical manufacturing needs.Inspired by the survival strategies of Minnesota's frozen forests, a new wave of biotech innovation is transforming the way we freeze, store, and ship life-saving cells for therapies - and it all starts with a better understanding of nature.Here are the top three takeaways from this podcast episode:Cryopreservation shouldn't be an afterthought: Building optimal cryopreservation strategies into your process development from day one can avoid costly setbacks and delays.Beyond cell viability - function matters: It's not just about how many cells survive the freeze/thaw cycle, but whether those cells remain fully functional. Evia Bio's new DMSO-free formulations are delivering >85% recovery on MSCs without compromising cell function.One size doesn't fit all: Every cell type has unique needs for freezing, thawing, and formulation. Leveraging tailored algorithms and customized protocols can drastically improve yield and reproducibility, potentially reducing the need for costly overfilling in manufacturing.If you've ever lost precious cell samples to a freeze-thaw mishap or questioned why you're stuck with outdated, toxic cryopreservation methods, this episode is for you!Connect with Jeffrey Allen:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreydallen2Website: www.eviabio.comEmail: jeffrey.allen@eviabio.comNext step:Book a free consultation to help you get started on any questions you may have about bioprocessing analytics: https://bruehlmann-consulting.com/callDevelop bioprocessing technologies better, faster, at a fraction of the cost with our 1:1 Strategy Call: The quickest and easiest way to excel biotech technology development.

Visit https://betterhelp.com/almanac for a discount on your first month of therapy.If you have questions about the brand relating to how the therapists are credentialed, their privacy policy, or therapist compensation, here is an overview written by the YouTube creators behind the channel Cinema Therapy that goes into these topics: https://www.reddit.com/r/cinema_therapy/comments/1dpriql/addressing_the_betterhelp_concerns_headon_deep/ Hey Poison Friends! I thought we could use an episode free from prions and other deadly viruses and diseases, so let's talk about some medications that turned out to be toxic. We have discussed how some toxins became useful in the world of medicine, so why not the other way around? While discussing this topic, I thought it would be informative to include some basics on what clinical trials look like (at least here in America).I have had many requests for one drug in particular: Thalidomide. We did briefly discuss this one in a bonus episode, but I dug a little deeper and wanted to include how it affected food and drug acts in the countries it affected. While not approved in America during its time, samples were given out and there were quite a few still affected here. This particular drug led to some horrific birth defects as well as many of miscarriages and stillbirths. Other medications we need to discuss include a couple of NSAIDs (non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs) called Vioxx and Bextra. These caused higher risks of heart attack and stroke, injuring and killing many who had taken them. Bextra was also linked to a higher risk for Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome, a serious skin condition that was painful and could lead to further complications. Lastly, if you grew up in the 90s like we did, you'll remember the influx of amphetamine or caffeine based weight loss drugs. Some were prescribed but some were also over the counter. You could buy some "supplements" like these at any convenient store. One medication prescribed to patients was a combination drug, called Fen-Phen by many, and it caused pulmonary hypertension, proving fatal to some who took it and leaving others with longterm heart valve and respiratory problems.

Today's guest is GS Youngblood — author of The Masculine in Relationship and The Art of Embodiment for Men. His work centers around helping men live, love, and lead from their masculine core. If you've ever felt stuck in Nice Guy tendencies, struggled to lead in your relationship, or wanted to deepen your emotional strength without losing your edge — this one's for you." GS challenges the idea that all masculinity is toxic by offering an actionable model — the Masculine Blueprint — that helps men become grounded in their own power while becoming more relational with their feminine partners. His work bridges grounded leadership, emotional connection, and embodiment, rooted in disciplines ranging from psychology and martial arts to spirituality and BDSM. His two books have sold nearly 90,000 copies, and he's become a highly sought-after coach for men seeking depth, direction, and relational mastery. At its core, The Masculine in Relationship is about how masculine power can successfully coexist with the strong feminine — especially in modern relationships where polarity often collapses under stress, kids, Nice Guy habits, or passivity. GS provides a grounded, accessible framework for what he calls Relational Masculinity — a combination of emotional depth, structural leadership, and grounded nervous system regulation that pulls a woman back into play, softness, and sexual openness without control, manipulation, or passivity.

Natural and artificla lights are everywhere, but only one of them makes you sick.

A Journey in Progress,” this episode unpacks the not-so-glamorous truth that sobriety alone doesn't automatically make you emotionally healthy.

In this eye-opening episode of Better Buildings for Humans, host Joe Menchefski sits down with Dr. Sandra Dedesko—engineer, indoor air expert, and healthy buildings researcher—for a compelling dive into how the air we breathe indoors is shaping our minds. From her work with Harvard's COGFX studies to her current research in Switzerland, Sandra unpacks how even low levels of CO₂ can subtly impair cognitive function—especially creativity. She shares how indoor air acts as an invisible performance driver, and why better ventilation might be the most underrated upgrade in our built environment. They also explore low-carbon ventilation strategies, wildfire smoke protection, and the powerful role of moisture in building performance. A must-listen for anyone who thinks clearer spaces start with clearer air.More About Sandra Dedesko:Sandra works at the intersection of engineering and public health to help improve the health and sustainability impacts of buildings. With a background in civil engineering and building design, Sandra elected to pursue a PhD in public health to better incorporate health into her future work. She recently completed her PhD at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health where her dissertation research focused on the link between buildings and cognitive performance. She's recently started as a scientist at EPFL in Switzerland where she continues to pursue her transdisciplinary research, passion for outdoor sports, and proficiency in French.CONTACT:https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandra-dedesko-835b6657/ https://x.com/sdedeskoWhere To Find Us:https://bbfhpod.advancedglazings.com/www.advancedglazings.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/better-buildings-for-humans-podcastwww.linkedin.com/in/advanced-glazings-ltd-848b4625https://twitter.com/bbfhpodhttps://twitter.com/Solera_Daylighthttps://www.instagram.com/bbfhpod/https://www.instagram.com/advancedglazingsltdhttps://www.facebook.com/AdvancedGlazingsltd

Are you stuck in the cycle of starting and stopping recovery? Always "trying" but never fully committing? In this game-changing episode, Lindsey reveals how one simple phrase is sabotaging your progress and keeping you trapped in what she calls "decision defaulting." Learn the neuroscience behind why "I'm trying" programs your brain for failure, and discover the powerful mindset shift that transforms chronic restarters into recovery success stories. If you're tired of living in the "maybe someday" space and ready to make decisions that stick, this episode will revolutionize your approach to healing. What You'll Learn in This Episode The psychology behind "decision defaulting" and why your brain prefers it How the phrase "I'm trying" creates neural pathways for partial commitment The difference between illusion of control vs. real personal power Specific language shifts that activate "implementation intention" Why your eating disorder wants you to stay in "trying" mode A concrete challenge to break the decision defaulting cycle this week How to know when you're ready for professional support vs. continued self-help Key Moments & Timestamps Opening CTA for Consultation (0:30-2:00) Lindsey speaks directly to chronic restarters and those hesitant to start recovery What is Decision Defaulting? (2:00-5:00) "'Trying' is just a socially acceptable way of avoiding responsibility for your choices." Client Story: Emma's 3-Year Trying Cycle (3:30-4:30) How one client's language shift changed everything in recovery The Neuroscience of Decision Defaulting (5:00-8:30) Why undernourished brains default to tentative language and how trauma responses play a role From Trying to Deciding: The Power Shift (8:30-12:00) Specific examples of language that creates commitment vs. escape routes Your Decision-Making Challenge (12:00-14:00) Two concrete options to practice decisive action this week Powerful Quotes from This Episode On Decision Defaulting: "Decision defaulting is when you avoid making definitive choices because not deciding feels safer than deciding 'wrong.'" On the Trying Trap: "When you say 'I'm trying,' you're leaving yourself an escape route. You're keeping one foot out the door. You're protecting yourself from the vulnerability of full commitment." On Neural Pathways: "Every time you make a definitive choice and follow through, you strengthen the neural pathways associated with self-efficacy and personal agency. Every time you default on a decision, you reinforce the pathways associated with helplessness." On Eating Disorder Strategy: "Your eating disorder wants you to keep 'trying.' It wants you to stay in that wishy-washy space where you're sort of committed but not really. Because as long as you're just trying, you're not a real threat to its control over your life." On Real Power: "The power isn't in making perfect decisions. The power is in making decisions and sticking with them long enough to see what happens." Language Shifts That Change Everything Instead of: "I'm trying to eat regular meals" Decide: "I'm deciding to eat breakfast at 8am, lunch at 1pm, and dinner at 6pm, regardless of how I feel about it" Instead of: "I'm trying to be less active" Decide: "I'm deciding to take three complete rest days this week and limit exercise to 30 minutes on active days" Instead of: "I'm trying to stop weighing myself" Decide: "I'm deciding to remove the scale from my house and ask my roommate to hide it" Instead of: "I'm thinking about getting help" Decide: "I'm deciding to schedule consultation calls with three recovery coaches this week" This Week's Decision Challenge Option 1: The Immediate Action Decision Choose ONE thing you've been "trying" to do in recovery and make a definitive decision about it today. Write it down: "I am deciding to _______." Take one concrete action within 24 hours. Option 2: The Support Decision If you've been "thinking about" getting help, either decide you're going to take action and schedule consultations or decide you're not ready and stop the maybe-someday torture. Scientific Research Referenced Dr. Carol Dweck's studies on language and behavior creating neural pathways Dr. Peter Gollwitzer's research on implementation intentions (2-3x more likely to follow through) Dr. Kristin Neff's research on self-compassion and decision-making fear Ready to Stop Decision Defaulting?

Your polyester pajamas are literally plastic, and they're affecting your hormones, fertility, and skin health in ways you never imagined.In today's conversation with Michel, founder of Aizome Textiles, we dive deep into the toxic reality of the modern textile industry. Aizome is one of the only 100% organic cotton, plant-dyed textile companies! From the 10,000+ unregulated chemicals used in clothing production to the microplastics flooding our oceans, the fashion industry has created a health crisis that most people don't even realize they're experiencing.The science is clear: polyester clothing has been shown to dramatically decrease testosterone and fertility in men, with effects reversing only after months of removing synthetic fabrics. Meanwhile, synthetic dyes made from the same petroleum-based chemicals as plastic are causing contact dermatitis in 70% of people with sensitive skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Even "clean" laundry detergents can't remove the bacterial buildup that creates that distinctive smell in polyester clothing.But there's hope. In this episode, Michael shares practical steps for transitioning to safer textiles, starting with the items that matter most: bedding (since you spend 8 hours a day in contact with sheets), underwear, and daily-wear items. Plus, learn about the regulatory landscape and how consumer demand is finally driving change in this massive industry.In today's episode, we're chatting about: • Why polyester clothing is linked to decreased fertility and hormone disruption • The 10,000+ chemicals used in textile production (most completely unregulated) • How synthetic dyes cause skin reactions in 70% of people with contact dermatitis • Practical steps for transitioning to non-toxic clothing and bedding • Why washing new clothes multiple times is crucial for sensitive individualsShop the episode:GET 20% OFF AIZOME 100% ORGANIC COTTON, PLANT DYED SHEETS WITH CODE WENDY

Development of intuitive abilities and the importance of approaching spirituality as a creative project rather than a competitive sport. The importance of developing intuition through regular practice and reflection. She explains that intuition is often experienced as subtle sensory information beyond rational thought, possibly connected to quantum physics and neuroscience. Katie emphasizes the need to distinguish between genuine intuitive insights and ego-driven desires or subconscious manipulations. She suggests starting with low-stakes situations, identifying one's dominant intuitive sensory gateway, and maintaining openness and healthy skepticism. Katie also emphasizes the importance of addressing past traumas and belief systems that may hinder the reception of clear, intuitive information. She recommends working with certified trauma processing professionals to release emotional blockages and enhance intuitive abilities. Katie discussed the concept of toxic spirituality, which she defined as a spectrum of behaviors and beliefs that can be damaging to individuals. She mentioned that it can range from well-meaning but ungrounded communities to more extreme forms of manipulation and exploitation. Katie emphasized the importance of understanding trauma and mental health when dealing with spiritual awakening and the need for a nuanced approach. The potential for unregulated spiritual spaces to be exploited by emotionally immature or toxic individuals. Dr. emphasized the importance of self-responsibility and safety in these experiences. They also mentioned the growing interest in psychedelics and their potential therapeutic use, leading to more discussions about reaching spirituality. Katie and Dr. discussed the potential benefits and risks of spiritual experiences, particularly those involving psychedelics or shamanic rituals. They emphasized the importance of finding a safe and supportive environment for such experiences, as well as the need for proper training and mentorship. They also cautioned against the dangers of seeking quick fixes or shortcuts in spiritual growth and stressed the importance of integrating spiritual experiences into daily life. They agreed that spiritual experiences are more common than people realize but often go unspoken. Remember to Subscribe, Listen, Review, and Share!
