Episode 43 The Government on Your Plate: A System Designed to Fail You
You believe you are protected. You walk into a grocery store assuming that the products lining the shelves have undergone rigorous testing and have been unequivocally deemed safe by a vigilant government. You trust, implicitly, that there are dedicated agencies and robust regulations in place, acting as an impenetrable fortress, diligently shielding both you and your family from harmful chemicals and dangerous, often hidden, ingredients. This deep-seated belief in a benevolent, watchful, and ultimately effective government oversight is, regrettably, one of the most pervasive and dangerous assumptions of our modern era.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 42 Is It Really Safe to Eat Farmed Fish?
You stand at the seafood counter, faced with a decision that feels both healthy and complex. On one side, beautiful fillets of wild-caught salmon, carrying a premium price tag.

The farmed option seems like a smart, economical way to achieve that goal. It’s the efficient choice for a peak performer optimizing their nutrition on a budget.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
