In today’s episode, David and I discuss pesticides, phthalates, and the impact of chemical toxins on our health, especially for our children and more.

Even though DDT was banned decades ago, it’s still found in some foods like apples and strawberries. David explains that newer pesticides, like glyphosate (Roundup), are now widespread in our food supply and pose serious health risks. He highlights the importance of choosing organic options to reduce exposure to these chemicals.

Phthalates, common in cosmetics and personal care products, can disrupt the endocrine system. David reveals how they may impact fertility and children’s cognitive development, stressing the need for consumers to check labels closely. Terms like “made without phthalates” can be misleading; look for “phthalate-free” instead.

One of the most inspiring messages from David is that we, as consumers, have the power to drive change. By voting with our dollars and choosing organic and safer products, we can influence the market and encourage companies to prioritize our health. 

This episode is filled with great information that can help us all make more informed choices for our families and ourselves. Tune in now to learn more!

In order to help readers see the connection between their shopping choices and their power to influence communities, David also reports from the frontlines of global warming and politics as he shares what is happening in Cancer Alley, Louisiana, Ground Zero for climate change, environmental justice, anti plastic and antitoxic movements.

In addition, never-before-seen test results are revealed for major brands like Johnsons & Johnsons, Kellogg, Tide, and Clairol, and General Mills that identify exactly which products contain dangerous ingredients. David shares the connection between beauty products, food items, and myriad consumer products as well as environmental exposures and how they can have a profound impact on babies and children’s development, adult reproductive health, cancer, gender identity, and IQ, just to name a few of the most pressing health issues parents face. David’s mission is to empower consumers with knowledge to make safer choices. As the Director of the non-profit Chemical Toxin Working Group (Healthy Living Foundation), he advocates tirelessly on behalf of consumers by bringing legal action and litigation to remove chemical toxins from products. He has represented the public interest at the National Academy of Sciences besides testifying before Congress as an expert witness.

In today’s episode, Dr. Gilmore shares his knowledge on how ketamine is revolutionizing the treatment of depression and other mental health conditions.

In today’s episode, Dr. Fellus and I discuss brain and mind health through integrative approaches. Here are the top three takeaways:

One of the key distinctions we discussed is the difference between the brain and the mind. Dr. Fellus explains that the brain is the physical part of our body, while the mind is influenced by our experiences. Knowing this difference is important for improving brain health.

Dr. Fellus stresses the value of a comprehensive, integrative approach to brain health, comparing it to a toolbox with various tools like neurofeedback, nootropics, and lifestyle changes. This strategy allows us to customize our methods based on individual needs, addressing the brain's complexity.

He also teaches the concept of neuroplasticity, which is the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize and adapt. Dr. Fellus shares how techniques like neurofeedback and even psychedelic therapies can help break maladaptive thought patterns, allowing for healthier connections in the brain. This means that even if someone is struggling with conditions like anxiety or OCD, there are effective ways to reshape their brain's pathways and improve their mental health.
