Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard about the dangers of nonstick cookware containing PFAS – poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances; otherwise known as forever chemicals. They're called this because they take forever to break down and have been found in the body of virtually every person tested.

PFAS is a group of chemicals used to make items stain, grease, and water-resistant. They can be found in coatings on cookware, stain-resistant treatment on carpets and clothing, microwave popcorn bags and fast-food wrappers, and waterproof and stain-repellent clothing. PFAS chemicals are even found in cosmetics.

LA is under an unprecedented siege of wildfires. Ron and I decided to republish this critically important episode on wildfire dangers, including what you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones. Many people are now without homes, cars, and belongings, while local schools and businesses have been burned to the ground; most affected people are just trying to survive with, in many cases, just the shirts on their backs.

Smoke can travel miles beyond its source. In 2020, wildfire smoke in the Western United States drifted for almost 5,000 miles, eventually being detected as far away as Europe. That's important when considering that smoke inhalation is the primary cause of death from wildfires; according to the National Fire Protection Association, 50 to 80 percent of fire deaths are from smoke inhalation.

Keeping your air clean even if you don't reside in Southern California is essential! Use the right certified masks outdoors and air purifiers indoors. We'll include links to these resources and offer discounts.

Our guest and CEO of IQAir North America, Glory Dolphin Hammes, is an expert in environmental control, a Certified Indoor Environmentalist, and a licensed HVAC contractor.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. How wildfires impact people
2. The percentage of wildfires that humans cause
3. The amount of damage wildfires do, how fast they move, and how much space they burn annually
4. How wildfires impact our health
5. The type of VOCs and other dangerous contaminants present in smoke
6. The individuals most at risk for severe health consequences from smoke
7. The factors and conditions that could drive wildfire risk in the months ahead
8. Tips to protect yourself both indoors and outdoors from poor air quality

Our guest has found that the key to living your best life lies in identifying your unconscious programming—driven by your personality type—and overcoming its limitations. In her new book, YOUR VITALITY PERSONALITY: Decode the Real You and Hack Into Happiness, Candice Thomas, an award-winning holistic health professional, Enneagram researcher, and international speaker, asserts that, "Decoding your secret inner programming and releasing self-sabotage allows you to discover the most potent and mighty aspects of yourself. It allows you to consciously see what has previously been hidden within your unconscious – power, love, genius."

Candice further explains that there are two opposing aspects to someone's personality type – "The Real You" and "Your Primal Persona." The latter causes people to live in a permanent state of survival mode causing them to make reactive choices. With YOUR VITALITY PERSONALITY, Candice helps people break free of their Primal Persona and access their Vitality Personality – the most enlightened version of their personality type.

Candice holds a bachelor's degree in molecular and cellular biology, a master's degree in acupuncture, and certifications as an Enneagram Accredited Professional and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique Practitioner.

Real or fake? The million-dollar question, right (um, we're talking about grass, people…grass!)?

Synthetic grass may look uniform and appear to be maintenance-free, but environmental and health concerns are prompting many people to rip out their artificial lawns.

You've heard of microplastics showing up at alarming rates in our drinking water, our food, and more. But you've probably never considered that that picture-perfect green artificial grass that you and your family love to play on could be hazardous to your health! Turns out, artificial grass can release microplastics and forever chemicals known as PFAS, so it's no surprise that many people now think of their artificial lawns as hazmat sites, and they are ripping them out.
