To say that our society is toxic would be a gross understatement. It is truly impossible to avoid exposure to some sort of toxic substance. We have pesticides in our foods. We clean our homes with toxic compounds. We routinely place toxic chemicals on our lawns. We breath in microplastics and even eat them. Even our health care products contain synthetic compounds. Based on this it should not be any great surprise that chronic disease are on the rise.

While the toxic products mentioned above may be easy to recognize and avoid, one thing we cannot avoid is the air we breath. But unfortunately, that is toxic as well.

So stick around for this week’s episode and learn how to protect yourself from the invisible affects of air pollution.

I have often said that self sufficiency is the best security blanket. But I see fewer and fewer people that truly appreciate the value in being able to take care of yourself with little or no outside help. I think this attitude prevails in our current culture because the average person no longer sees the need to have such skills.

However, our world is constantly changing, sometimes over night. Consequently, I think self sufficiency is more important than ever before. The problem is that most people do not know where to begin because our modern culture has deprived us of some very basic skills.

In this episode I am going to outline 11 ways to become self sufficient and live your life that way you want.

There is so much talk these days about going plastic free. Plastics are everywhere and in every part of our lives. It is nearly impossible to get through an entire day without utilizing something made of plastic.

But the challenge we now have is that plastic is becoming the bane of our existence.Because plastic production continues to increase and degradation is long-term, microplastics are virtually everywhere. Furthermore, no one really knows the long-term health affects of exposure because this is a relatively new health concern.

One thing is for certain, microplastics are not going away any time soon. Our only option may be to limit exposure. So join me for E235 The Dangers of Microplastics and How to Avoid Them
