Ja, es sind die Endokrindesruptoren. Dinge wie Phthalate, Bisphenol, P-Fast-Chemikalen, viele der Endokrindesruptoren, die manche Leute kennen, andere nicht, aber die in unseren täglichen Produkten gefunden werden. Wie nonstick Cookware, die Make-up und Kosmetik, die wir benutzen, die Plastik-Kontainer, in die wir Essen kaufen.

Okay, so in the human body we have eight endocrine glands. So they're little centers in our bodies and they secrete hormones. And these hormones regulate pretty much everything that you can think of.

So from sleep, wake, digestion, to how well your brain works, cognition, to metabolism, so how quickly you can burn calories, how much fat you deposit, how much fat you can lose, and also your fertility, if you're able to have children someday. So, Endocrine Disruptors are coming in and they're basically disrupting. Like, just as the name indicates. They're throwing the balance off.

They're messing up with the signaling. They're causing everything to go haywire in our bodies. So, we really need to be careful, especially for children, whose bodies are rapidly developing. And then you're throwing in these endocrine disrupting chemicals. It's like adding gasoline to, you know, like a dumpster fire, basically.

Absolut. Also mit Kindern ist es extrem unfreundlich, dass sie die meisten Verletzten und die meisten Verletzten zu vielen Toxinen sind, weil, wie du gesagt hast, sie wachsen. Sie können nicht detoxifizieren. In der Tat, die Detoxifizierungskapazität eines Kindes entwickelt sich nicht voll, bis sie zehn Jahre alt sind.

Ja, also die Fähigkeit deines Körpers, Chemikalien zu detoxifizieren. We all have it. Everyone has it. The liver and the kidney are the detox organs, the main ones. But we have this capability of being able to break these chemicals down and remove them so that they don't cause harm in our bodies. But with children, that ability isn't fully developed until the age of 10 years old.

So if you think about all these little children, they're being exposed even before they're born, after they're born, and then they can't even get rid of these chemicals from their body until they're 10 years old.

The worst is cancer. So we see an increased risk of childhood leukemia with certain exposures. There's also neurodevelopmental delays, so cognitive deficits in children that are exposed to these chemicals. We also see increased rates of obesity. Obesity in children is skyrocketing now. unprecedented levels that we have not seen before.

And it's likely due to these chemicals and this genetic predisposition and programming that kids are just being dealt the worst hand possible.

Yeah, there is a link, actually. So some of these chemicals have been known to worsen wie ADHD und Autismus, wie du es erwähnt hast.

Ja, es gibt Beziehungen, wo sie die Anzahl dieser Chemikalien in Kindern durch ihren Urin oder Blut messen. Und sie bestätigen die Schwierigkeit dieser Bedingungen und können sie mit der Anzahl der Chemikalien in ihren Körpern korrelieren.

I can't remember. It's one of the two. It's earlier. Earlier and earlier. So children who are being exposed to these chemicals are experiencing earlier puberty, earlier breast development, earlier menstrual cycles. And what that does is actually shift the entire window. Because if you think about it, we're born with a set number of eggs in our ovaries. Once those eggs are gone...

And this is because of those endocrine disruptors? Likely, yes. How would they know? Sie haben auch Studien gemacht. Sie haben Observationen gemacht. Sie haben Familien gefragt, wann ihr Kind Beauty- und Persönlichkeitsprodukte benutzt hat, die mit diesen Chemikalien verpackt sind.

Die Kinder, die mehr Produkte benutzt haben, haben mehr Phthalate, mehr Endokrindesruptoren in ihrem Blut und in ihren Urinen. Und dann haben sie leider früher Puberty.

Well, over the last 100 years or so, there has been a drastic decline in the number of live births. So that's one of the numbers that I have looked at recently, right? So it isn't necessarily that more people are experiencing infertility. It could be a measure of people are having children later. Could be. People are just having less children. But it is an overall measure of population level.

But it is an overall measure of population level.
So it looks like there's just less children being born. And that could be for a whole number of reasons. Right? Are people not able to have kids? Are they choosing not to have kids? I would almost argue that it's the fact that people are not able to have kids when you correlate that with the fact that sperm counts have declined by 50% worldwide. That is absolutely astonishing.

We're not at the point yet where humans will go extinct. But if we continue on this path and don't make changes, which there are many ways that we can make changes, dann schauen wir vielleicht auf einen Verlust der Bevölkerung.

You would think, right? In Europe, the European Commission has a much better system of regulating chemicals. So they require upfront chemical testing depending on the amount that is produced. So chemical manufacturers need to provide data. So they have to fund these studies, these laboratory studies.

They have to fund them and provide this package of information to the European Chemicals Agency or ECHA. Once they do that, then based on the amount that they're producing, you have to give more information. You have to have more testing. Such that if you're producing several metric tons of a chemical, you've got to do a whole bunch of studies to really prove that it is safe.

Not only for people, but also animals and the environment. That it's not going to be something that is persistent, that builds up, that can't be broken down. die sich akkumulieren, denn das ist das, was wir jetzt mit diesen Chemikalien sehen. Und das ist wirklich das Problem, dass sie nicht zerfallen, sie gehen nicht weg, sie verschwinden nicht. Also was passiert dann?

Es disruptiert im Grunde die gesamte Ökosysteme des Planeten. Und wir sind nicht davon verbunden, richtig? Wir sind verbunden mit dem Ökosystem, wir relyingen darauf. Also, wenn wir von der Sicht der Chemikalien-Testung nach vorne schauen, dann ist das absolut etwas, was wir tun sollten. Aber niemand mandiert das wirklich, außer in Europa.

I think we've got a different relationship between the government and with industry. I think there is a lack of regulations, a lack of requirements for toxicity testing, combined with the lack of corporate responsibility.

So a lot of these manufacturers don't want to have to foot the bill and pay millions of dollars to have testing only to show that this chemical that they are so excited and in love with can't be used because it's toxic.

Ich hoffe es nicht, aber es sieht so aus. Und es ist einfach so, dass dieses ganze System nicht aufgestellt ist, um Konsumenten und das Umfeld zu schützen, zumindest in den USA.

Well, I fell down a rabbit hole of research and I had to pick myself up and say, hey, you know what, I'm going to take matters into my own hands. I'm going outside of the route that I thought I was supposed to go down, the mainstream route. So I kind of went, I went sideways a little bit and I went with integrative and functional medicine. And so I went looking for the root cause.

Das ist nicht unbedingt das, worauf ich mit der konventionellen Route geführt wurde. Mit integrativer und funktionaler Medizin gab es personalisiertes Testen. Und natürlich war das alles für mich ein Abstandskosten, aber das war etwas, das absolut wichtig war. Also habe ich einen Weg gefunden, diese Tests zu bezahlen.

Und sie haben mir genau gesagt, in was ich defizient bin, was ich tun muss, und sie haben mich begleitet. Also habe ich zuerst mit der Entfernung von inflammierbaren Füßen begonnen und mich wirklich auf meine Diät eingeladen. Und ich habe meine Symptome in zwei Wochen erhoben. Sehr schnell.

Once I started removing these triggers that were causing digestive problems, then I started to see improvement very fast. But it was then going on six months and I kind of felt like I hit a plateau. I said, there's something else that's still triggering me. There's something else that's still bothering me. And I don't feel 100%. Even though I've done all the work. I've cleaned up my diet.

I cook all my meals at home. I have sourced the best quality meats and vegetables. I even started growing my own food. And there was still something there. Something was not right. And so then I started targeting things in my home. Mein Make-up-Kabinett war ein großer Trigger für mich in Bezug auf Chemikalien und Toxizität.

Als ich angefangen habe, meinen Make-up-Kabinett zu öffnen, sah ich wirklich eine Veränderung, weil ich auf einem Tag-zu-Tag-Basis gearbeitet habe. Ich habe mehrere kosmetische Produkte benutzt. Ich war absolut besessen mit Perfumen und Frömmen. Als ich sie entfernt habe, habe ich mich langsam von ihnen entfernt. I started to see real change. And I noticed more energy return.

I was feeling more fit. I had more mental clarity, more focus. I didn't have as many headaches and migraines anymore. And I just started to feel like a more vital person, like more vitality.

It did. It did return. And it returned and I was pregnant within nine months. Really? Of that first, the first time when I started this whole journey. Within nine months I was pregnant. I had my period back within, I'd probably say three months, and then six months after that, once I got rid of all the beauty and personal care products, I also looked into my oral care, my oral health.

I had mercury amalgam fillings, and mercury is extremely toxic to reproduction, but also to the brain. Once I got rid of the mercury out of my teeth, that was when things just really took a nice, a huge leap in my health journey.

Don't believe everything you see on a container, a bottle or a product that you're buying.
Yes, actually that was part of this entire journey. So there was regular routine testing going on whenever we made changes. I was working with these practitioners and I made changes and we would do tests and say, look, your numbers came back, it looks great. You removed the mercury amalgam fillings from your teeth. Your mercury levels have dropped.

Ja, es war ziemlich schockierend und ich fühlte mich fast sofort besser, als sie diese aus meinem Mund genommen haben. Es war so beeindruckend.

Is that if you're believing in the marketing and what you see on the front of the label, instead of actually reading the ingredients, you could be exposing yourself to toxins that you probably don't want to be.

Absolut. Ich meine, ich kann nicht mal sagen, wie viel Leid es in mir erzeugt hat, diese Informationen zu teilen und sie so weit und weit wie möglich zu verbreiten, weil es literally jeden Menschen auf diesem Planeten beeinflusst. Und ich finde es manchmal herausfordernd, nicht jemanden auszuladen und zu sagen, hey, sei vorsichtig mit dem.

Aber, weißt du, ich denke, es kommt von dem, dass man ein lebendiges Beispiel ist. Und ich habe gefunden, dass das viel effektiver ist. als ein lebendiges Beispiel zu sein, anstatt Leuten zu sagen, nicht das, nicht das zu tun. sie zeigen, was möglich ist. Schau, was mir passiert ist. Schau auf meine Reise. Schau auf den Vorteil, den ich fühle.

Und dann, wenn du diese Dinge entfernen und diese einfachen Schwappen machst. Es geht um einfache, kleine, inkrementale Schiffe, die jeder über die Länge machen kann. Denn es geht wirklich darum, dass es ein Marathon ist, nicht ein Rennen. Es geht nicht darum, dass du alles wegwerfen musst und du unter einem Stein verstecken musst. Weil ich das versucht habe und es hat nicht funktioniert.

Yeah, that is definitely a concern because cancer historically was a disease of age, aging. It wasn't so common that you see cancer in your 30s, 40s and even 50s. Now we're seeing a shift. The window is moving earlier and earlier. Cancer incidents Und was sind deine Überraschungen über die Grundursachen dieses steigenden Kanzers? I definitely think there is a huge environmental component to it.

Well, I'm on a mission to empower people to avoid environmental toxins so they can protect their families and really using science and evidence to make informed decisions that affect their health.

Because a lot of what was believed decades ago was that disease and cancer incidents had to do with your genes. You were just genetically predisposed. You were unlucky. Aber in Wirklichkeit, was wir jetzt sehen, ist, dass die Umgebung so eine massive Rolle spielt, ob du tatsächlich Kanzer hast.

Also nur weil du die Prädisposition zur Entwicklung von Brustkanzer hast, wie zum Beispiel das Brachygen, bedeutet das nicht, dass du es bekommst. Es hängt wirklich von deinem Lebensstil ab. And how you lived, but also how your ancestors lived, right?

We talked about the multigenerational effect of these chemicals, depending on how your ancestors lived, how your grandmother and how your mother lived, could predispose you to this.

Yes, and that's something that is... I don't want to say that it's exciting, but I'm glad that we finally have proof. I don't want to see these studies. I hate seeing this, actually. I'm really angry that people have to suffer with cancer, because it's so preventable. There was a study recently that looked at removing certain ingredients from beauty and personal care products.

So women without any history of breast cancer wurden 28 Tage gefragt, diese Inhalte aus ihren Produkten zu entfernen. Das ist also sehr kurz. Vier Wochen, richtig? Sie nahmen Zellen aus der Brust, sie waren alle normal, sie zählten die Anzahl der Erzeugung von Breast Cancer Genen. Nach 28 Tagen nahmen sie noch eine Sample.

It was skincare, deodorant, shampoo, things that most people are using. And the ingredients were phthalates, which can often be found in fragrance. So the seemingly innocuous little term on the ingredients list, fragrance or parfum, kann eine große Anzahl an Chemikalien besitzen. Es ist hinter diesem Umweltausdruck versteckt, weil die Verbraucher in Europa und in den USA das nicht auslösen müssen.

Es ist als Handelsgeheimnis. Und in dieser Chemikalienmischung sind bekannte Carcinogenen, Endokrindesruptoren wie Phthalate und die meisten potenziellen Allergien, die man kennt. Und mit Phthalaten, der Grund, warum sie in Farben sind und die Produzenten sie so sehr lieben, ist, dass sie so genannt werden wie Filmformer.

Es hilft also, dass die Farbe an den Oberflächen steckt, wie deine Haut, deine Kleidung. Und es hilft, dass es länger und länger dauert. Also, wenn du jemals etwas auf dich selbst gesprüht hast und es noch Stunden später riechen kannst, ist das ein Ereignis, dass du zu Phthalaten geblieben bist, dass du Phthalaten in dieser Farbe, in diesem Produkt hast.

If it's got fragrance in it? Almost all of them. It's code for endocrine disrupting phthalates, essentially. You can assume that. And in fact, it's safe to assume that they contain phthalates.

So, you turn the container around and check the ingredients list. Do you see a word fragrance slash parfum?

I think now people are becoming more aware, but there are new toxins that are emerging every day and it's simply a consequence of how the system is set up. And it's mainly because chemicals and products are not required to be tested for safety before they're released onto the market, at least in the US and many other regions of the world.

So sometimes you'll see on there, it'll say phthalate-free.

Right. That's helpful. But that still doesn't take away the fact that there are known carcinogens and allergens in there. So if you've got any kind of respiratory problems, any kind of skin problems, and you just don't want to expose yourself to unnecessary carcinogens, then it would be beneficial to avoid fragrance.

Well, the question would be, can you find a safer alternative? And the answer is yes.

So you don't want fragrances. I don't. And you definitely, yes, so avoid the word fragrance, unless it says that the fragrance comes from essential oils.

Yes.
Yes.
Yes, because that's where aromatic compounds come from. They come from plants. But just to give you more context on this aerosol spray, this is one of the worst products that you can use.
Yes, because that's where aromatic compounds come from. They come from plants. But just to give you more context on this aerosol spray, this is one of the worst products that you can use.
Yeah, so I'll tell you why. Aerosols use propellants. Propellants are derived from petroleum. And there was a recall on thousands of products within the last couple of years that the propellants were a source of benzene contamination. And benzene is a known human carcinogen that you do not want to be inhaling. Because what you inhale goes to your brain.

It goes quickly all over your body through the bloodstream. You don't want to be delivering a known human carcinogen into your bloodstream. You're just It's not helping you at all. Because benzene is known to cause leukemia in people. So it's a no-brainer if you want to avoid that, to avoid aerosols.
It goes quickly all over your body through the bloodstream. You don't want to be delivering a known human carcinogen into your bloodstream. You're just It's not helping you at all. Because benzene is known to cause leukemia in people. So it's a no-brainer if you want to avoid that, to avoid aerosols.
But not only that, if you think about how you're actually applying the product, you're spraying it like this, right? In a stream and it heads towards your face. Then that's also an inhalation risk. Because there's particles in there. There's solids in there. You don't want to be inhaling unnecessary things.

Also die beste Option für Deodorant ist, etwas zu suchen, das essenzielle Öle hat und ein Roll-On oder ein Solid-Stick ist.

Ja, also phthalatfrei und parabenfrei sind definitiv hilfreich. Okay. Denn dann wissen wir, dass mindestens zwei der bekannten Endokrindendisruptoren, auf die wir Beweise haben, nicht in diesem Produkt gefunden sind. Aber das exonereert nicht alles.

Wir müssen immer noch auf die Ingredienzen vorsichtig sein, weil sie Anbieter von Kontaminationen, Anbietern, Carcinogenen und versteckten Toxinen sind.

Das ist das, was das ist. Petrol? Ja, weil es aus Petroleum kommt. All die Propellanten und einige der anderen Basis-Ingrediente. Ich bin sicher, ich habe es nicht geschaut, aber ich bin fast sicher, weil das die Sorge ist für die Mehrheit der Ingrediente, die in diese Produkte gehen. Das ist mein letzter Tag, ever using aerosol deodorants.

Und was dann passiert, ist, dass die Leute diese Produkte kaufen und wir von Chemikalien ausgesprochen werden, dass wir keine Ahnung haben, wie sie unsere Gesundheit beeinflussen, ob sie schmerzhaft sind oder nicht. Und wir sind im Grunde genommen Ginni-Piggen in einem massiven menschlichen Experiment, für den niemand gegründet hat, den wir nicht zu verabschieden haben.

Zumindest von diesem Niveau, von dem ich weiß, dass es ein Solid ist, ja. Aber ich muss die Inhaltsliste sehen. Wir müssen die Inhaltsliste schauen, um wirklich zu wissen, was wirklich im Deodorant ist. Okay. Also zumindest aus der Sicht der Bedeutung, das ist definitiv großartig zu sehen, dass es nicht in einem Plastikcontainer ist, das verfüllbar ist. But we really need to check the ingredients.

So, do you recognize the ingredients? Are they easily recognizable or do they sound highly synthetic, very chemical-like?

That's what should give us pause, is when we don't know what's in that fragrance term.

Nicht unbedingt. Das ist, wo es ein bisschen nuanced wird. Aber zumindest schlägt es die Ergebnisse, die du in der Suche bekommst, runter. Und dann kannst du die Ingrediente eins nach dem anderen beobachten. Und schau für den, der essentielle Öle hat, anstatt des Wortes Fragranz. Weil es wirklich die Lack der Transparenz ist, die uns pausieren sollte. We have no idea what's in there.

We don't know what we're exposing ourselves to. And if you're someone who is concerned about the chemicals in the products you're using, the toxins you're being exposed to, if you are someone who is thinking about getting pregnant, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or just health conscious, and you don't want these toxins in your products, then this is the work that needs to be done.

Wie du es gerade demonstriert hast. Und nur weil es nachhaltig ist, bedeutet es auch nicht, dass es sicher ist. Es gibt also viel Marketing, das mit Produkten zusammenhängt. Und die Verkäufer wissen, dass die Konsumenten wissend werden. Sie werden wissend werden und sie brauchen sicherere Produkte.

Ja, definitiv. Das wäre wahrscheinlich die einfachste und offensichtlichste Art, Produkte auszuweiden. Schaut einfach nach dem Wort Fragranz oder Parfum. Und wenn es keine Indikation gibt, dass es aus Pflanzen kommt, dass es aus essentiellen Ölen kommt, dann ist das nicht etwas, das man benutzen möchte.

Yeah, I think there's many reasons that they put fragrances in. So, first of all, we are sensory beings and people respond to fragrances. Fragrances changes your mood, it uplifts your mood, it helps you feel more confident. Fragrances affect us on a very primal level. And The earlier and earlier that you can get hooked on fragrances, the better for these manufacturers, right?

So that's why they're putting fragrances in even children's products and scented everything. If you notice, I've got kids. We go out and look for slime. I said, let's look for unscented slime. It's nearly impossible to find it. You'd have to make your own slime at home. So that's what we've started doing. And the kids love it because they get to, you know, be like little chemists or whatever.

But you cannot find even... Even they have markers, pens, crayons. They've got scented stickers. I mean, scented everything. Scent is everywhere now. The fragrance industry has absolutely exploded. In the last 10 or 15 years. And fragrances are the most pervasive source, one of the most pervasive sources of toxins in our homes, in our daily lives. It's almost like the new secondhand smoke.

That's how prevalent it is. Because the chemicals, once you spray them, right, the reason you smell them is because they have volatilized, means that they have become gases and they reach your nose, you smell them. What that also means is that they are in the air. Studies have shown that these fragrance chemicals, phthalates, carcinogens, allergens, they bind to the dust in your home.

So it's not like I smell this fragrance, I sprayed it three hours ago and I'm totally fine. Well, it's still in the air. It's always going to be in the air unless you physically remove the dust. So, if you're not regularly dusting, mopping, sweeping and vacuuming, you're becoming re-exposed. And this is absolutely the worst for a child, a baby, who is crawling on the floor.

Their faces and noses and airways are close to the ground, so they're inhaling the dust that have settled on the floor. I don't know many people that are sweeping and dusting every single day. But if you have a child, then I really want you to listen to this. Because the child is putting stuff in their mouth, so they're ingesting these dust particles.

Sie wachsen, sie beginnen, Allergien zu haben, sie beginnen, kognitive Verluste zu haben, sie beginnen, kognitive Probleme zu haben, sie beginnen, mehr Fett zu versorgen, sie können nicht mehr Gewicht verlieren, sie haben niedrige Energie, Depression und eine Menge von Bedingungen, die wir denken, sind normal, aber das bedeutet nicht, dass sie normal sind.

Yes, so cancer is probably one of the most clear associations as well as infertility. And more widely known are issues like not being able to conceive. having a decrease in sperm count, sperm quality. And the fact that sperm count has declined by 50% in the last 50 years is pretty alarming.

Yeah, I think it's this pervasiveness of the overuse of fragrances, scented products and the lack of awareness about Die Schmerzen, die sie verursachen. Es gibt Studien, die zeigen, dass es Menschen gibt, die, sobald sie eine Flasche anziehen, dann Menschen mit Migränen beginnen. Sie können nicht mehr richtig denken. Sie werden müde. Aber nicht nur das.

Wie du gesagt hast, erhöhte Asthma-Inzidenzen. Und sobald du Asthma bekommst, geht es nicht weg. Du hast reaktive Luftwege. Also dann bist du wieder getriggert, wenn du diese Schmerzen erlebst.

That could be it as well. But I would like to see the data in the rise in fragrances and fragrance use overlaid on top of the incidence of... Allergien in Kindern und all diese Gesundheitsbedingungen. Ich möchte diese Daten sehen. Ich habe sie noch nicht gesehen. Und ich hoffe, dass jemand diese Studien macht, weil ich denke, sie würden korreliert sein.

No.
No.
Yeah, the rate and incidence of cancer is almost non-existent. At least it was almost non-existent. But now some of these chemicals have spread so far and wide. And one example being PFAS. They're known as forever chemicals because they don't degrade. They can travel so far. They basically covered the globe. They are found in polar bear fat.

So that just tells you how far up the food chain these chemicals have traveled because they don't break down. So as soon as an animal eats it and then it gets eaten by another animal, so on and so forth, Und was sind diese Chemikalien? PFAS? PFAS.

PFAS. Also Per- und Polyfluoroalkyl-Substanz. Es ist eine große Chemieklasse von ca. 15.000 verschiedenen Chemikalien. Und das betrifft Dinge wie PFOA, PFOS und PTFE, die mehr oft als Teflon bekannt sind. Nonstick-Chemikalien.

Genau.
Genau.
Ja, PTFE ist der chemische Name für Teflon. Also Teflon wird mit dem Nonstick-Kombinationen verwendet. Und es ist glaubt, dass es so chemisch stabil ist, dass es nicht aus der Pfanne in dein Essen kommen würde. Aber das ist nicht wahr. Es gibt Beweise, dass es von der Kochware in normalen Küchenbedingungen in das Essen kommt.

I'm a toxicologist, but I'm also a mom.
I'm a toxicologist, but I'm also a mom.
Not only that, when you heat that pan high enough, it will vaporize and get into the air. And if you inhale it, you run the risk of experiencing what's known as Teflon flu. And it basically has flu-like symptoms when you inhale that stuff. And so that would be considered an acute exposure. So a one-time higher dose exposure.

But what we really need information on are the chronic low doses that we're getting just by cooking our daily eggs on there.

So I study the basic science of poisons. How do chemicals interact with the cells in our bodies and how do they cause harm? But not only that, how do our cells defend themselves against these toxins?

Nun, ich kann Ihnen sagen, dass sie die Anzahl der Chemikalien, die aus den Pfannen kommen, gemessen haben. Und wenn du also jemals ein nonstickes Stück Kochwerk hattest, schmerzt es sehr leicht.
Nun, ich kann Ihnen sagen, dass sie die Anzahl der Chemikalien, die aus den Pfannen kommen, gemessen haben. Und wenn du also jemals ein nonstickes Stück Kochwerk hattest, schmerzt es sehr leicht.
Und einige dieser Schmerzen sind mikroskopisch und unbeleuchtet im nackten Auge. Und was ist das für meine Gesundheit? Was tun diese P-Fatten für meine Gesundheit? Well, PFAS are linked with several types of cancers, so kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disorders, which thyroid problems are so common these days, but they're not normal.

Yes.
Yes.
Dann haben wir einen erhöhten Risiko für Verletzungen, vorzeitiges Arbeit, vorzeitiges Geburtstag, Präeklampsia, das ist eine hohe Blutdruckdauer während der Geburt, die müde sein könnte. Man hat auch eine erhöhte Obesität, die mit PFAS-Chemikalien verbunden ist. Und PFAS-Chemikalien contribuieren auch zu einer erhöhten Endometriose und PCOS.

So people who have endometriosis and PCOS, they have found to have higher levels of PFAS in their bodies. And PFAS are found in everybody. No one's exempt. Everyone has PFAS in our bodies. But whether or not they're able to exert toxicity depends on your inner environment, depends on how many other chemicals your body is working to fight off.

Yeah, so these chemicals are known, endocrine disruptors are also known as obesogens. So they're increasing the prevalence of obesity. So you store more fat and you can't lose it.
Yeah, so these chemicals are known, endocrine disruptors are also known as obesogens. So they're increasing the prevalence of obesity. So you store more fat and you can't lose it.
Throw that out.

Well, the chemicals that you're being exposed to through your cookware, through food packaging... They're also sources of these endocrine disruptors.
Well, the chemicals that you're being exposed to through your cookware, through food packaging... They're also sources of these endocrine disruptors.
Yeah, in humans it's kidney and testicular cancer.

I haven't seen direct evidence on that, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was also linked, because that's also a hormonal tissue.

I found it by accident. Was it really an accident though? I don't know. I think I was led there. I think I've always been interested. I think I was meant to share this. And I think it brings up a lot of emotions for me because I've been personally impacted, but I think of how many millions of people around the world are struggling and don't know why.

Yeah, just get rid of the nonstick chemicals altogether. And that would be something as simple as cast iron, stainless steel, glass cookware, ceramic cookware. So you're saying throw this away. I would. But see, that's the other thing, is if you are then hearing this and you're like, I gotta get rid of my cookware. Well, guess what?

You throw that out and it ends up in a landfill and the PFAS chemicals are now in the environment where they won't go away.

So it really depends, right? If you are in the position to where you can get rid of it, then it might benefit you. But the key is to really stop buying it. But you already have it. So it's really up to you.

Das Silikon, das Silikonrubber, das Plastik. Wenn man sich nur denkt, dass es aufgeheizt ist, wenn man es je gesehen hat, die Integrität, du wirst sehen, dass es anfängt zu frönen. Wenn du any bits coming off, then you know it's definitely breaking up and getting into your food.

Richtig, weil man mit non-stick Cookware keine Metallutensilien benutzen kann, richtig? Man wird die Oberfläche zerstören. Aber wisst ihr was? Auch mit dem kann man die Oberfläche zerstören.

What people normally will say is, I can't properly clean the wood. But I haven't had that issue. You just clean it with soap and water and it is fine.

Absolut nicht. Nehmt nicht Mikroplastik-Kontainer. Selbst nach nur ein paar Sekunden erhältst du Billionen von Mikroplastik-Partikeln in deinem Essen. Nur aus einem kleinen Quadratzentimeter erhältst du Billionen von Mikroplastik-Partikeln. Und mit Mikroplastik sind sie hart. Es ist eine solide Masse. Es bricht nicht in den Körper.

Das ist großartig, aber es ist immer noch Plastik. Es ist immer noch Mikroplastik. Es ist immer noch Nanoplastik-erhöhung. Und es hat wahrscheinlich Phthalate in sich, abhängig davon, welches Plastik es ist.

Nun, Mikroplastiken brechen nicht. Sie gehen nicht weg. Wiederum, sie akkumulieren sich in menschlichen Tissuen. Also sind sie tatsächlich in einem ganzen Niveau gefunden. Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass sie im ganzen Körper sind. Wir müssen nur die Beweise sehen, um zu wissen, richtig? Und sie sind in menschlichen Lungen, Blut, In the gut tissue, they're in heart, they're in brain.

Sie befinden sich in der Plazenta. Sie befinden sich auch im Penis. Und sie wurden entdeckt in... Es gibt Mikroplastik in meinem Penis? Ja, das könnte es sein. Studien haben das gezeigt. Und auch in geborenen Babys. Also, wenn Babys geboren werden, haben sie ihren ersten Bauchmovement, welcher als Meconium genannt wird. Und in dem Meconium haben sich Mikroplastik gefunden.

Well, the risk is that they don't go away, number one. And on a cellular level, they're causing inflammation and oxidative stress. And oxidative stress is free radical damage.

And so if I can bring awareness to that, then I feel like my mission is complete. But I studied toxicology because just in my body I knew that toxicology It's so personal for you, isn't it? It is, absolutely. Why? Not only because I've been personally impacted, but I want my children to have the best version of me. So I can look after them.

And what that means is, if you ingest these microplastic particles, which everyone is, and they're in your tissues, and your body cannot get rid of them, then they're basically like the equivalent of a million little fires all over your body. Und unless you have enough detox capability like antioxidants to get rid of them, they're there to stay.

Yeah, exactly. Every cell in your body has some antioxidants in it. If you didn't, you would be dead. Because in order to live on this planet and breathe oxygen, we need antioxidants to neutralize the free radicals that happen. Durch cellulare Respiration, richtig? Also, wenn wir Oxygen atmen, sind es freie Radikale, die geschaffen werden.

Und unsere Zellen haben natürlich in ihnen Antioxidantien wie Glutathion. Und sie helfen, diese freien Radikale zu neutralisieren. Aber Glutathion ist auch wichtig für Detoxifizierung von wirtschaftlichen Chemikalien. So if you think about it, how does the body decide what's more important? Do I neutralize these free radicals because I need to breathe and live?
Und unsere Zellen haben natürlich in ihnen Antioxidantien wie Glutathion. Und sie helfen, diese freien Radikale zu neutralisieren. Aber Glutathion ist auch wichtig für Detoxifizierung von wirtschaftlichen Chemikalien. So if you think about it, how does the body decide what's more important? Do I neutralize these free radicals because I need to breathe and live?
Perfect.
Perfect.
Or do I have to deal with these chemicals over here? I don't know. So you're literally being torn. Your body is torn at this point. What to deal with first? And usually it's the oxygen. I need to breathe. So let me neutralize the free radicals from breathing oxygen. Then I'll deal with these chemicals later if I have enough left in the tank. And most people don't.

Modern lifestyles are resulting in depletion of glutathione. Our glutathione is being robbed by these microplastics, by these parabens, phthalates and other chemicals that you find in consumer products.

Slowly killing us over time. We're becoming plastic. We're actually known as the plasticine epic. Humankind is more plastic. Eventually we will become more plastic than we are humans if we continue at this rate. There have been over 300 million metric tons of plastics produced.

And they don't go away. They don't go away. That's the problem. They just continually break up into smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller fragments.

Yes, and that's because plastic is fat soluble and the brain is mostly fat soluble. So microplastics travel there through the bloodstream, we inhale them, they go to the brain and they can't leave because the brain does not have the ability to detoxify itself the way that other tissues do.

Right. So it's like, who's this? I can't get rid of you, so just stay. But then what is it doing to you over time?
Right. So it's like, who's this? I can't get rid of you, so just stay. But then what is it doing to you over time?
I haven't seen any clear evidence, but my hypothesis is that it's increasing the likelihood of cognitive decline. And the brain is one of the most important organs in our bodies. And brain problems don't usually show up until you're in your elder years. I would be interested to know if the rate of dementia, if people are getting dementia and other brain-related disorders earlier.

Wenn du keine andere Option hast, dann hast du das. Ich will nicht, dass Leute denken, ich kann nie wieder Wasser trinken oder ich werde sterben. Das ist nicht der Fall. I myself traveled here. I had to drink from a bottle of water because I didn't bring enough of my own water with me. Is that something that I'm going to panic about? No, it's not. Is it something that I want to do?

No, but I need water. So that's my only option. But if you are able to avoid that, then absolutely avoid bottled water.
No, but I need water. So that's my only option. But if you are able to avoid that, then absolutely avoid bottled water.
Yeah, there have been so many studies showing that bottled water is a major source of microplastics. Because if you think about it, plastic is not meant to be permanent, but it kind of is. But at the same time, there are certain conditions that promote leaching. And one of them is if you put that plastic water bottle in the sun, UV...

causes plastic to break down so that's releasing micro plastics just squeezing it physical force is causing micro plastic sharing and release but not just that just over time the plastic is just leaching on its own temperature is another factor so if you leave that in a hot car micro plastics if you've ever had a bottle of water sitting in a hot car and you drink it and it tasted like plastic that's because it is it's plastic it's becoming more plastic okay

Yeah, definitely. It's the same as these stainless steel cups.
Yeah, definitely. It's the same as these stainless steel cups.
But not only that, it's also more sustainable, right? Because plastic bottles... Okay, so instead of that plastic container I had, this glass container for the microwave and for my food is better. Perfect. Okay, but what about the lid?
But not only that, it's also more sustainable, right? Because plastic bottles... Okay, so instead of that plastic container I had, this glass container for the microwave and for my food is better. Perfect. Okay, but what about the lid?
Yeah, so what I would do is take the lid off if you need to heat up your food. Okay. And what I also do is keep a space between my food and the lid so it's not in direct contact with the plastic.
Yeah, so what I would do is take the lid off if you need to heat up your food. Okay. And what I also do is keep a space between my food and the lid so it's not in direct contact with the plastic.

It's the contact with the plastic. I mean, if you need the container and you need a lid to store your food. Okay. I mean, I have those too, so... Die Sache ist einfach, dass du dein Essen von dem, was du anfängst, nicht anfängst.

Versteckte sie. Sie sind schrecklich. Sie sind im Grunde mit Plastik verbunden. And studies have shown that within 15 minutes of contact with the hot liquid, you're getting 25,000 microplastic particles in that cup. And most people, some people don't drink their coffee in 15 minutes, they'll let it sit longer. And so the longer it sits, the more leaching there is.

And not only that, the lid is plastic. So as the hot liquid is passing through the lid, there could also be leaching of microplastics. That plastic lining also leaches heavy metals. So it's Es gibt so viele Probleme mit dieser Kuppe.

I'm actually really, they're so pervasive. And I remember being in Germany about 10, 15 years ago, maybe, something like that. And coffee to go was new. And at the time, I come from the US, they've been around forever. I was like, why is this new? I don't understand. Coffee to go, why is that a thing? And my husband said, it's because we sit down and drink our coffee out of a mug.

Absolutely. Absolutely. If you live in an area where water has been fluoridated... How do I know? You've got to check the water report. Most municipalities have water reports. And if not, you can go to Die EWG, die Environmental Working Group, hat eine Wasserreport-Database, die Sie beachten können.

Einige der mehr mittleren, niedrigeren Kosten, niedrigeren Endoptionen entfernen nicht Fluorid Nr. 1 und sie filtern kaum genug Chemikalien. Tab-Water ist eine Ressource von Hormonen, also Endokrin-Disruptoren, Pestiziden, schweren Metallen, Fluorid, wenn es in das Wasser eingeführt wird. Wir müssen also vorsichtig sein mit dem Wasser, das wir trinken und kochen benutzen.

I'm concerned and I take action on it every single day. I think about it all the time, but not in a scared way. Just what else can I do? What else can I research? What else can I learn? How else can I implement this? And how else can I share this so that other people can implement it?

Get rid of them.
Get rid of them.
Yeah, actually there have been studies showing that you can boil your water. So if you boil your water, that can actually remove a significant portion of the microplastic pollutions in there. Because of, if you've ever noticed, after you've boiled water, there's sort of a white crust at the bottom of the pot. That's actually calcium, calcification.

Because of, if you've ever noticed, after you've boiled water, there's sort of a white crust at the bottom of the pot. That's actually calcium, calcification.
And the microplastics get trapped in that calcified layer. But that still doesn't take care of all the other chemicals that are found in tap water. So the best option is to filter it. Some filters are more accessible and affordable than others. Reverse Osmosis removes the most contaminants, but it also requires the most, it generates the most wastewater. So it isn't the most efficient.

And it also can remove beneficial minerals, which you then have to add back in, because it's not good to drink demineralized water over time. So there are different options that you can use, but the best option, you have to filter at some point, at some level, depending on where you are. So check your water and look for a filter.

Das erste ist, dass du dein Wasser filterst. Das zweite ist, dass du Friseurprodukte wegbringst. Du spart also Geld, wenn du das nicht kaufst. Wenn du das entfernen kannst, dann bist du besser. Thirdly is to cook at home. Cooking at home is also significantly more cost effective than getting takeout all the time. And you're also saving on a massive amount of toxic exposure that way.

Wenn du Mehl, Früchte und Gemüse suchst, Dinge der Art, versuche, die wenigstens gekochteste Option zu bekommen, die du möglicherweise kannst. Und kochst es zu Hause. Und wenn du es kannst, kochst du auf Stahl- oder Stahlkasten.

The key is to avoid the antiperspirant, if you can. Und ich weiß, dass viele Menschen mit Schmerzen und allem so beschäftigt sind, aber einige Leute online haben Armpit-Detoxen gemacht. Also mit Apfelsider-Vinegar und Bentonit-Klein. Du machst ein bisschen Paste daraus, schmierst es unter deine Arme und das kann helfen, einige dieser verbundenen Partikel in deinen Schmerzen zu entfernen.

So that goes all over your face, right? So products that sit on your skin, those are known as leave-on products. Those comprise a higher risk than something you would rinse off like a soap or a body wash. Weil es auf deiner Haut sitzt. Der Kontaktzeit ist also länger.

Ja, das glaube ich. Denn wenn du deinen Gesicht nie gespürt hättest, wie wäre dein Körper dann? Einige Leute benutzen nur Wasser auf ihrem Gesicht. Und ich habe persönlich herausgefunden, dass je mehr ich mich mit meinem Gesicht beschäftige, je mehr Produkte ich benutze, desto mehr fühle ich mich, als ob ich sie benötige, weil mein Körper anders reagiert.

Ja, wie du gesagt hast, je mehr du anbringst, desto mehr brauchst du es. Und dann fängst du an, es anzubringen. Und so ist es jedes 10 oder 15 Minuten. Es fühlte sich an einem Punkt so aus. Und ich habe eine sehr stark gescentierte Fragranz-Lippenbombe benutzt, als ich Teenager war. It just was trendy at school. What scent do you have? What flavor do you have? And everyone was doing it.

Menstrual Products contain some of the worst chemicals that should never be in direct contact with your reproductive tissues, with your vaginal canal. They should just should not be there. Things like Benzene. There's heavy metals in tampons. Actually, there was a study showing that women who use tampons had higher levels of heavy metals in their body. We don't need those down there.

It's entirely unnecessary. The alternative would be to use, you can find organic cotton tampons. Tampons are made of cotton, right? Cotton is one of the most heavily sprayed crops in the world. mit Glyphosat. Wir brauchen kein Glyphosat da unten. Das Problem ist, dass der Vaginalkanal entzündet ist. Es ist also blockiert.

Yeah, especially coming from where I came from, where I had those problems. And just to think, if I can prevent that in my children and help people prevent that in their children, then that's the best outcome for everyone. I actually... I did never pay attention to toxins before. I studied toxicology. I was in the lab.

Ja, es gibt es. Und es gibt einen Link mit PFAS-Chemikalien auch. Also diese Xenoestrogene exagerieren diese Bedingungen, weil, wenn man sich darüber nachdenkt, ist der Uterus ein endokrin-responsives Tissue. Es ist hormonlich aktiv. Es respondiert zu Estrogen. Du erzeugst, sagen wir, Phthalate. Durch Tampons direkt da unten. Es geht in die Zirkulation.

That's a really good question. Organic cotton is one way of knowing if your clothes contain pesticides and certain chemicals that are used in the farming of cotton. But not only that, if your clothes are made out of synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon and acrylic, those release microplastics. And they've also been found to contain BPA, which is an endocrine disruptor.

Right, because it's covering your entire body, right? Wherever you have the clothing touching your skin, there's some friction, there's movement, there's body heat, there's moisture. That's increasing chemical penetration and absorption into your bloodstream. So the solution there is if you like scented laundry care products, is again to use essential oils.

So instead of the dryer sheets that you get at the store, those actually just coat your clothing with some type of oily, waxy substance. That's what makes them feel soft. They're not actually softening your clothes. They coat your clothing. And so all of that is touching your skin, it's rubbing. How much of that is getting absorbed? So if you can instead look for

Ja, das ist bekannt als wirtschaftliche Unrechtlichkeit. Das ist einer der, ich würde sagen, die meisten tragischen, And I think it should be outlawed. Wie du gesagt hast, die Farben, die Endokrin-Disruptoren, diese scharfen Detergente, Formaldehyde-Löser. Formaldehyde ist ein menschliches Carcinogen. Was hat es in einem Schönheits- und Persönlichkeitsprodukt? Es hat es nicht.

I think it has to do a lot with the types of products that certain demographics would gravitate towards. So depending on your hair type, what kind of products you might need, there really is no explanation to why these toxic chemicals are in those products in particular in such high numbers. That's really the problem, is why is it more prevalent for those populations than others?

I don't think so. I think the vast majority of people are entirely unaware of this and studies show it. Because there are studies showing that the earlier you start using cosmetic products, the higher your chance of coming down with breast cancer. And the people who had the highest prevalence were African American females.

IBF oder in vitro Fertilisierung wäre meine einzige Option, wenn ich eine Familie haben wollte. Und ich war nicht bereit, das zu akzeptieren, weil ich sagte, warte mal, ich weiß, dass es einen wirtschaftlichen Komponenten gibt. Es gibt Chemikalien in unserem Umfeld, die meine Fertilität beeinflussen. Das ist das, was ich im Labor studiert habe. Ich studierte Fertilität und Kanzer.

So black women are at the highest risk of getting breast cancer under the age of 40? Yes. Hmm.

Ich denke, wenn wir auf die Regierung warten, werden wir lange warten. Die kosmetischen Regulierungen in den USA wurden bis jetzt noch nicht geöffnet. And before that, the last update was when they were actually created nearly a hundred years prior. A hundred years had gone by. No change to the cosmetic regulations. None.

Yet more and more products are being churned out without being tested, without knowing what the health effects are. And then later on we see increases in all of these diseases that we've been talking about. So I think instead of waiting for the government, My goal and my purpose and my passion is to empower people with knowledge and solutions so they can take steps to protect themselves.

I think it really comes down to whether or not the creators of the products are aware of these risks and whether or not they are able to formulate in such a way that they don't use these types of ingredients. And I think that there has been a push for clean beauty, black-owned clean beauty. I've seen it. Could it get cleaner? Yes, I think so.

Es hängt davon ab, welcher Kugel du hast. Es gibt im Grunde eine sicherere Alternative für fast jede Produkte, die du dir vorstellen kannst. Also bin ich nicht einer, der sagt, dass Kugeln toxisch sind. It's very specific conventional candles. Paraffin wax, scented candles, which is what you'll see in stores. The majority of candles out there are the ones that we shouldn't be burning.

So this is a scented candle. It doesn't say what type of wax it is. So we can be pretty certain that this is a paraffin candle. So, because if I light it, then I'm pushing toxic chemicals into the air. Exactly. So conventional candles. There are five main reasons why I would not burn a conventional candle. Nr.

Wir wissen nicht, was wir uns auslösen. Denn laut Gesetz in Europa und in den USA müssen die Verbraucher keine bestimmten Inhalte auslösen. But we finally have proof that there are links to increased rates of cancer, infertility, obesity. We know that a surface scratch on a non-stick piece of cookware can release 9,000 particles into your food.

And what was missing from my view at the time was these low-dose chronic exposures over a lifetime to toxins and chemicals in our products, in our homes, in our outside world that nobody really has connected to some of these disease states.

1 ist, dass wenn man diese Flaschen leuchtet, sie Carcinogen wie Benzin, Toluene und Formaldehyde befreien. Aber nicht nur das, aber auch ultrafine Partikel. Ultrafine Partikel sind einige der gefährlichsten Substanzen, die man in seinem Haus kreieren kann. Also sind ultrafine Partikel kleine Partikel, weniger als 100 Mikron in Diameter, Entschuldigung, weniger als 0,1.

Und in diese mikroscopischen Strukturen der Lunge, das ist, wo der Gas-Einsatz passiert. There's only one cell layer separating the outside from the inside, your bloodstream. One cell, that's pretty much nothing. That's pretty much no separation, no protection. So if an ultrafine particle can get that far down into your lungs, it's guaranteed into your bloodstream. It's getting all over your body.

It's causing inflammation and oxidative stress, which are the basis of many chronic diseases. So ultrafine particles, we need to avoid them as much as possible. And so one way is to not light. A conventional candle. Number two is that they're also releasing volatile organic compounds, right, as I mentioned. Number three, they contain undisclosed fragrance.

A conventional candle. Number two is that they're also releasing volatile organic compounds, right, as I mentioned. Number three, they contain undisclosed fragrance.
And within fragrance, there can be endocrine disruptors, carcinogens and allergens. So when you light these candles, you're getting all of these toxins into your air. Number four, some of the dyes that are used to color candles are carcinogenic. And nobody has any idea is if you burn them, What are the health effects of burning these carcinogenic dyes?

And number five, candles are largely unregulated, which means that if you were to look at that candle and it says soy blend, There can be paraffin wax in there, even though it says soy blend. A lot of people think soy blend. Oh, it comes from soy. It must be healthier for me. So they'll go for that.

A lot of people think soy blend. Oh, it comes from soy. It must be healthier for me. So they'll go for that.
But if it says soy blend, one should assume that it's a majority of petroleum derived paraffin wax with a little bit of soy wax in there. Because the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which regulates candles, doesn't look at the ingredients in the candle. They're concerned with the vessel, the container of the candle, whether or not it's fireproof, and whether or not the wick contains lead.

They're not looking at what's in the wax. But studies have shown that when you light these candles, you are liberating a significant number of hazardous chemicals.

So it wasn't until I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and research that I started to uncover the linkages between these low-dose environmental chemicals and products that we're using all the time and how they impacted my health. And when I started to remove them and replace them with safer options, my health returned.

Incense is even worse. And I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but incense has been used for thousands of years. But incense as we know it now is not the same as incense that was used a thousand years ago. They now contain, again, phthalates, the endocrine disruptors. but also the ultrafine particles.

And studies have shown that incense creates more ultrafine particles in pollutants than cigarette smoke. There's an increased risk of cancer because these ultrafine particles are damaging DNA. Damaged DNA leads to mutations. Mutations can lead to cancer. There's an increased incidence... In den Häusern, in denen die Eltern Inzest in den Häusern gebraten haben.

Well, you can use, there's different candles that you can use. So based on my research, I looked, I was really hellbent on finding what is the type of candle that has the lowest emissions, the least emissions. Because let's make it, I want to make it really clear. Anytime you burn something, that's not necessarily healthy. But does it mean that you can't do whatever? No.

If you find a candle that is low emission, like beeswax, essential oils, wooden or cotton wicks, then that's a much better alternative than your conventional paraffin wax scented candle, brightly colored.

Yes. Vaping... Vaping fluid is a chemical mixture that you are inhaling. And these chemicals have not been tested for inhalation safety. Namely, the flavors and the fragrances that are used. Specifically, the flavors have not been tested for inhalation because they're intended for oral ingestion, to be eaten. So they're not tested for inhalation safety.

I used to work in a flavor and fragrance company. And that was one of the biggest issues, was that people were putting these chemicals that were not tested into these vapes. And the health effects are unknown. But now that's been 10, 15 years, we know that vaping is not healthy.

Luftqualität indoors kann bis zu fünfmal schlechter sein als Luftqualität draußen, was viele Leute schockiert. Diese Statistik kommt aus der Environmental Protection Agency, der EPA.

Definitely during the colder months. People don't open their windows enough. Some of us are lighting more candles. Some people like to light wood and burn wood, fireplaces and stoves. What's wrong with that? Those create the most ultrafine particles that you can imagine in your home. These ultrafine particles, nitrogen dioxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, these are all carcinogens.

Dach kann auch helfen, es zu erhöhen. Es gibt sogar einige Studien, die zeigen, dass wenn man Weißprotein konsumiert, It can help to increase glutathione by supplying the amino acids needed to produce it. And matcha green tea is also a really good source of glutathione building blocks. But I think what we need to do is also remove the chemicals that are depleting our glutathione.

I think matcha is amazing. If you get the right type of matcha, you want to look for organically grown matcha, look for ones that are tested for heavy metals, because heavy metals can accumulate in tea plants. That's just naturally occurring. So you want to look for matcha that's been tested. And because you're consuming the entire leaf, it's important to look for the cleanest matcha you can get.

I do. But we also want to avoid not adding dairy to a matcha. I know that a lot of people like to drink matcha lattes, but there's actually studies showing that the casein protein can decrease the absorption of some of the beneficial compounds in matcha. So if you can drink it the traditional way in Japan is just water. No sugar, nothing. Just matcha and water.

Yes, absolutely. Because it is in and of itself a strong antioxidant with anti-cancer properties. And it can help to increase the production of energy in our cells. And so one of the things that is required to create glutathione is ATP.

Yeah, so maybe consider wiping off their paws when they come back in from a walk.

I'm waiting to find out more about microplastics and the diseases that are associated with microplastics. I think that is the next emerging toxin of the year. And I think more awareness needs to be brought around microplastics and just more research is urgently needed.

That's too easy. Of course it would be toxins, hands down, immediately. If I could just remove all of these toxic chemicals from our environment and just eliminate them, not send them into outer space, but just remove them from the face of the earth and just have them cease to exist, that would be the most amazing achievement I could ever imagine.

I imagine it to be like a utopia. People aren't sick, people aren't ill, people are well and happy and thriving and just radiating, radiant. That's how I see it.

Ich habe eine Webseite, DrYvonneBurkhardt.com. Ich habe auch eine Newsletter, die ich sende, namens Low Talks Talks. Und ihr könnt mich auch auf Instagram finden, DrYvonneBurkhardt. Und ich habe auch einen YouTube-Kanal, wo ich liebe, deep dives zu machen und wirklich, wirklich geeky und nerdig auf einem Thema zu sein.

Ich musste fast alles erlernen, weil ich als Wissenschaftlerin, als Toxikologin trainiert wurde, an Tag 1, den Weg zu folgen und die Glaubwürdigkeit, dass die Dose einen Pest macht, dass je mehr man zu einem Chemikal ausgeschlossen wird, desto schwerer ist das Ergebnis. Und das ist nicht immer wahr.

Denn wie wir jetzt wissen, gibt es Chemikalien im Umfeld, die Endokrin-Entzünder genannt werden, die auf sehr niedrigen Niveaus höhere Aktivitäten haben als die, die sie auf hohen Niveaus haben. Also ist es komplett nach hinten. So I had to relearn everything that I had learned as a student in order to recover. And in fact, I was so resistant and so hesitant to go outside of what I knew.

Those microplastics have been found in lungs, heart, brain, penis.

That actually kept me stuck for much longer than I needed to be.

Exactly.
Exactly.
They're called non-monotonic dose responses. That's the technical term for it. But it's basically because the hormones in our bodies are present and active at such extraordinarily tiny amounts that any amount of excess or chemicals coming from the environment could trigger those same pathways, could be devastating on a cellular level.

Fast alles. And it might shock you to think that it's almost everything, but unfortunately it is. It's because our world now is overcome with plastics. Single-use plastics, plastic containers, food containers. Almost everything that we know of has some plastic element to it. And that's really at the root of a lot of the problems that we have.

Yes, and scientists have found that eventually we will become more plastic than we are humans if we continue at this rate.

Because the chemicals that are used to create the plastics are leaching. The plastics themselves are breaking up, leading to microplastic and nanoplastic release that we are just being constantly bombarded with on a daily basis.

Also, für den meisten Teil, wenn man ein Produkt aus einem Shop-Stuhl holt, gibt es neun mal aus zehn Chemikalien, in denen es sich um Gefühle handelt. And we're talking about major retailers, big box stores. If you go to smaller, let's say, health food stores and chains like that, then the percentage is much lower. So you have a better chance of getting a safer product at a health food store.

I'm really angry that people have to suffer. I mean, these chemicals are causing children to have cognitive delays. They start having behavioral issues. And I think it brings up a lot of emotions for me because I've been personally impacted. But I think of how many millions of people around the world are struggling and don't know why.

Yes, so I am a PhD toxicologist. I started studying reproductive toxicity in the laboratory as an undergrad. And we were looking at the effect of environmental chemicals that are pretty much everywhere in the environment. They're the products of combustion. So the combustion of gasoline in cars, in cigarettes, in cooking.

So some of these chemicals, and we looked at the impact of them on the reproductive system in males and females. And what we saw was pretty striking. So that when the animals are challenged with these chemicals and they're pregnant, then the offspring, not only the daughters and the sons, but also the grandchildren are impacted by the grandmother being exposed.

So when a woman is pregnant with a female daughter, her developing ovaries, which will then someday become, contain the eggs that will then become the grandchildren, are also in the same environment as the mother. So what the mother is being exposed to, the baby is also being exposed to, and also her grandchildren are being exposed to.

That's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
Yeah, that's called multigenerational toxicity. And it even goes a step further, transgenerational. That's when great-grandchildren can be impacted, because what's happening in utero is Epigenetische Veränderungen, also Veränderungen in unserem DNA, die dann durch unsere Großeltern übernommen werden.

Also, große Großeltern, auch wenn sie einen perfekt sauberen Lebensstil leben und nicht zu Toxinen ausgeschlossen sind, könnten schon genetisch vorhanden sein, um einige dieser Bedingungen zu entwickeln.
