BILLIONS AGAINST BAYER
Dicamba Leaves a Trail of Destruction - Ban It Now
Organic Consumers Association’s Petition to the Environmental Protection Agency:Bayer (Monsanto)’s dicamba herbicide is meant to be used on its genetically modified dicamba-tolerant crops, but when it gets sprayed, it is extremely drift prone, and drifts away from the GMO farms and causes extensive injury to cultivated and wild landscapes, insects, animals and humans. There has never been a weed killer that has been more destructive in terms of crop damage.
Due to the millions of acres of extensive damage it causes, there have been ongoing disputes and court rulings regarding dicamba’s use, but Environmental Protection Agency keeps working to reapprove it.
Dicamba doesn’t just kill plants–it increased cancer risk and has also been linked to other potential health issues, including neurotoxicity, kidney and liver damage, sensitization, irritation, birth defects, and respiratory illnesses.
Thank you.

NEW STUDY
Pesticide Mixtures Pose Significant Risks During Pregnancy
Tom Perkins, The Guardian:“Exposure to multiple pesticides increases the chances of pregnancy complications compared to exposure to just one pesticide, new peer-reviewed research suggests. The findings raise new questions about the safety of exposure to widely used pesticides and herbicides in food and agricultural communities.
The study, which bio-monitored pregnant women in a heavily agricultural state in Argentina, adds to recent-but-limited evidence pointing to heightened dangers in mixtures of pesticides.
The authors say research into how pesticide mixtures impact human health is important because the vast majority of studies look at exposure to a single pesticide, and regulations on the substances’ use are developed based on toxicity to just one.”
Read how people are frequently exposed to multiple pesticides in non-organic meals, or when living in agricultural regions around the world
Editor’s note: The above article speaks to the crucial point of the dangers of untested pesticide mixtures that our International Director of Regeneration International, Dr André Leu, has been making since he wrote “The Myth Of Safe Pesticides” in 2014.
PESTICIDES
Serious Deficiencies in the Regulation of Toxic Chemicals
Dr. André Leu, IProf., D.Sc., BA Com., Grad Dip Ed, International Director of Regeneration International:A good example of this is the approval of formulated pesticide products as safe based solely on testing one of the ingredients without evaluating the entire formulation.
Since the other chemical ingredients are active and added to enhance the effectiveness of the primary ingredient, the assumption that they are inert and will not increase the overall toxicity of the formulation lacks scientific credibility.
Limited scientific testing of formulated pesticide products indicates that they can be hundreds of times more toxic to humans than the pure, single active ingredient. There are no requirements to test the toxicity of the entire formulation to establish its safety in preventing noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes.
Learn how there is no requirement to produce credible, evidence-based scientific data to demonstrate that formulated pesticide residues in our food are safe, and more
NEUROLOGICAL MAINTENANCE
Letting Your Mind Wander Can Reset Your Brain
Anna Kenyon, University of Lancashire:“Every day, we’re faced with constant opportunities for stimulation. With 24/7 access to news feeds, emails and social media, many of us find ourselves scrolling endlessly, chasing our next hit of dopamine. But these habits are fueling our stress – and our brains are begging for a break.
What our brains really need is some much needed time off from concentrating. By not consciously focusing on anything and allowing the mind to drift, this can reduce stress and improve cognitive sharpness.
This can often be easier said than done. But attention restoration theory (Art) can help you learn to give your brain space to drift. While this might sound like a fancy name for doing nothing, the theory is supported by neuroscience.”
Read how whether you’re watching a ladybird crawl across your desk or visiting a vast expanse of nature, allow your attention to be undirected. It’s not laziness, it’s neurological maintenance.
HEALTH & WELLNESS
‘Nature’s Ozempic’ Triggers Weight-Loss Pathway Without the Side Effects
Paul McClure writes for New Atlas:“New research by scientists from Marshall University, West Virginia, has uncovered how obesity significantly reduces the number of specialized gut cells, called enteroendocrine cells (EECs), leading to metabolic dysfunction. They also found that byproducts produced by gut bacteria when they break down certain amino acids can restore them.
The study (International Journal of Molecular Sciences) is important in terms of its potential real-world implications. The findings suggest a non-drug strategy for restoring GLP-1 production in obesity by encouraging the growth of tryptophan-metabolizing gut bacteria (e.g., probiotics like L. acidophilus) and using dietary supplements rich in tryptophan to fuel these bacteria. Unlike synthetic GLP-1 drugs, which can cause side effects like nausea, this approach may naturally stimulate the body’s own GLP-1 production with fewer risks.
The study also highlights the potential for personalized nutrition and microbiome therapies where tailored diets or supplements are used to boost microbial production of beneficial metabolites to prevent or treat obesity and the metabolic dysfunction, such as type 2 diabetes, that often accompanies the condition.”

REGENERATIVE MATERIALS FUTURE
Conductive Wool Replaces Wiring and Circuits
Rima Sabina Aouf writes for de zeen:“Still in early development, Khan’s WoolTech is made from a novel wool-based biomaterial, in which conductive pathways can be created using lasers.
This carbonises the material so it carries electricity, while the un-carbonised sections provide natural insulation. The innovation could help to tackle the issue of e-waste, reimagining components that are usually made from a mix of metals and petrochemicals using a single organic, biodegradable material.
It could also help to lower demand for mined metals, which are associated with dangerous working conditions and child exploitation. However, Khan originally came to the idea after exploring solutions to a different problem: wool waste.
From watching farming documentaries – especially Clarkson’s Farm, following former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson – she learnt that farmers in the UK have been shearing sheep purely for animal welfare reasons, with the wool itself having little value.”

Tell the EPA To Ban Toxic Sludge From Farmland
Organic Consumers Association’s Petition to the Environmental Protection Agency:The Draft Risk Assessment for PFOA and PFOS in Sewage Sludge underestimated the human health harms.
The EPA’s model assumed sludge contains far lower levels of the two PFAS chemicals than tests show it does. The EPA only looked at exposure from one source at a time (water, milk, beef, eggs, and fish) rather than combined dietary exposure. And, the EPA’s data was limited to average exposure rather than looking at the high levels people in PFAS hotspots are exposed to.
And, yet, the EPA still found that PFAS in sewage sludge dumped on farmland causes kidney and liver cancers, decreased birth weight, increased cholesterol, and diminished immune function.
This is terrifying and it speaks to how urgently the health threat of PFAS must be addressed. PFAS-contaminated toxic sludge should never be disposed of on farmland. More importantly, the EPA should stop the pollution at its source by banning the use of fire-retardant, non-stick, and water-resistant PFAS chemicals. PFAS chemicals shouldn’t be used, not in consumer products, manufacturing, aviation, the military, or in any other way.
Please continue your work on PFAS chemicals, with the aim of protecting human health from every harmful forever chemical.
Thank you.

FUNCTIONAL FOOD
Why This Longevity Expert Wants You To Eat “Stressed-Out” Foods
by Jamie Schneider, mindbodygreen:“We tend to think of stress in terms of how we can evade it—much like anxiety and inflammation, stress is typically stamped with a negative connotation. And while stress management is a crucial pillar of overall well-being, it’s chronic stress that becomes so worrisome—acute stress, on the other hand, isn’t always harmful.
In fact, a bit of physical stress on your body can actually be quite healthy.
Same goes for the foods we eat: According to longevity expert and Harvard geneticist David Sinclair, Ph.D., food that faces a little bit of stress is actually healthier. ‘I look for organic foods’, he shares on the mindbodygreen podcast. ‘It’s because organic foods aren’t held with gloves. They’re a little bit more stressed-out usually.’
According to Sinclair, the more stressed out the food is, the brighter colors it will have. Those pigments, he continues, are evidence of defensive phytochemicals.”
Read how those colors are actually an indicator of other molecules that plants produce to try and survive when they’re stressed
SAVE THE POLLINATORS
Mass Kill of Monarch Butterflies Linked to Pesticide Residues in Their Bodies
Beyond Pesticides reports:“A study following a mass mortality event of approximately 200 monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus plexippus) in Pacific Grove, California, highlights the role of pesticides, synthetic pyrethroids in particular, in causing lethal and sublethal effects to nontarget organisms.
‘On average, each monarch butterfly contained 7 pesticides,’ the authors report. They continue, ‘Notably, three pyrethroid insecticides—bifenthrin, cypermethrin, and permethrin—were consistently detected at or near each chemical’s lethal dose (LD50).’ LC50, or Lethal Concentration 50, values represent the concentrations of chemicals lethal to 50% of a test population.
The more recent mass mortality incident in California adds to the wide body of science that highlights the ongoing risks pesticides pose to monarchs and other pollinator species. The alternative to toxic chemicals that do not threaten health and biodiversity?”

Plastic Causing Disease and Death at All Stages of Life, Report Warns
Peter Dennis, Circular:“The Lancet review found that plastics endanger human and planetary health at ‘every stage of their lifecycle’, from fossil fuel extraction, production, use, recycling and disposal. Plastics are a ‘grave, growing, and under-recognised danger’ to human and planetary health, the study found.
The world is in a ‘plastic crisis’, it concluded, that is responsible for health-related economic losses exceeding US$1·5 trillion annually with impacts ‘disproportionately’ hitting low-income and at-risk populations.
The study says the principal driver of the crisis is plastic production, which is 200 times higher than in 1950 – increasing from 2 megatonnes (Mt) in 1950, to 475 Mt in 2022.
Plastic pollution has also increased with 8000 Mt of plastic waste now polluting the planet and less than 10% of all the plastic that’s ever been made ever being recycled.”

Gandhi Almost Died Going Vegan--What He Discovered About Animal Fat Changed Everything
The untold story of how Big Oil spent $1.7 million to hide a food that cuts diabetes risk by 60% and contains gene-regulating compounds no plant can provide.
I don't believe it for a minute. Propaganda. If Gandhi almost died it was more probably from general malnutrition in his day and place. Yes, I agree that margarines and seed oils are bad for us, but there are plenty of healthy lifelong vegans. There are plenty of plant based fats. You have to get enough food.
Dicamba was once banned, and then was brought back. They never give up.
When most people hear the word inflammation, they immediately think of something bad happening in their body.
Here's something that might surprise you: inflammation isn't always the enemy.
I know, I know. We've been told for years that inflammation is bad, bad, bad. But here's the thing – your body actually NEEDS inflammation to heal and protect itself.
Think about it: when you cut your finger, inflammation rushes to the rescue. It brings healing compounds, fights off potential infections, and helps repair the damage.
Pretty amazing, right?
But here's where things get tricky…
There's a delicate balance between "healthy inflammation" (the kind that helps you heal) and the kind that can cause problems when it sticks around too long.
It's like having a security system in your home. You want it to activate when there's a real threat, but you don't want it blaring 24/7 when everything is fine.
The challenge is that modern life (with its stress, environmental toxins, and lack of sleep) can tip this balance in the wrong direction.
And when that happens? Well, let's just say your body starts sending you signals that something needs attention.
So, the million-dollar question becomes: How do you maintain healthy inflammation balance?

DIY Herbal Kombucha Recipe
Why is it that almost every culture around the world eats fermented foods? Is it an inherent love of the tangy and sour?
That's part of it, but there's an evolutionary reason that our taste buds crave these flavors... It's because fermented foods are extremely good for our digestive health, which plays a HUGE part in our overall well-being.
Your digestive health rules over your immune system, detoxification processes, cellular respiration, skin quality, and mental function. Every single one of these systems (to name but a few) hinge on your ability to effectively convert your food into fuel.
So naturally, you’ve got to do everything you can to make sure the enzymes and friendly bacteria in your belly are thriving.
It turns out that one of the best ways to nourish healthy digestion is by eating the right fermented foods — which are actually the most neglected dietary component in our modern world. Foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, pickles, and kimchi… all have the same healing powers. They introduce new healthy bacteria to your gut so that the trillions of helpful microorganisms in there (also known as your microbiome) stay well balanced.
The hottest fermented food on the market right now is a tangy beverage called kombucha.
This deliciously fizzy tea has become a superstar in the wellness world because it can heal your gut, normalize your bowel movements, and boost your immune response when consumed daily.
As much as people rave about it, most don’t know that it’s actually very easy to make your own kombucha at home...

Vitamin D Lowers Cardiovascular Risk
Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., writes:
An article in the British Medical Journal looked at whether vitamin D supplementation altered the incidence of major cardiovascular disease. The five-year, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial included more than 21,000 subjects ages 60-84 who were given either 60,000 IU of vitamin D orally per month, or placebo.
Special: Doctor: All Multivitamins Are Not the Same
The rate of major cardiovascular events was 9% lower in the vitamin D group than in the placebo group. This reduction was particularly noticeable among patients with cardiovascular disease, who had a 19% lower rate of heart attack and an 11% lower rate of coronary artery bypass surgery compared to those not taking vitamin D. There was no difference in stroke rates.
Vitamin D is a very safe supplement as long as proper dosing is practiced. If you are going to supplement with vitamin D, make sure you use natural vitamin D3, not vitamin D2 — the prescription form of vitamin D is often D2.
Most of my patients take approximately 5,000 IU of vitamin D per day, especially during winter.

This Week at Lifetime of Wellbeing | |
For too long, we’ve treated mental wellness as if it exists in a vacuum, completely separate from the body. But what if the key to calming anxiety, lifting brain fog, and finding true mental clarity starts not with the mind, but with your metabolism? This is one of the most exciting frontiers in holistic health. The truth is, your brain is the most energy-hungry organ you own, and its fuel is produced directly by your metabolic engine. When your metabolic health is struggling, your brain is the first to feel it, leading to an energy crisis that manifests as fatigue, poor focus, and low moods. But the connection runs deeper. Metabolic dysfunction, often driven by our modern diet, can spark neuroinflammation—a literal fire in the brain now strongly linked to depression. It also disrupts the delicate gut-brain axis, impacting the production of vital neurotransmitters like serotonin, and throws our stress hormones completely out of sync. Viewing your mental health through a metabolic lens is a game-changer. It shifts the focus from merely managing symptoms to nourishing the root cause of our well-being. It empowers us to understand that balancing our blood sugar and healing our gut are among the most profound acts of mental self-care we can perform. This is a huge topic, and we're just scratching the surface. We found this special video from Nick Norwitz to be very helpful. | |

One of America’s top doctors is hoping you’ll read this before you set foot in another grocery store.
Renowned cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry has found an “invisible problem” affecting almost everything we eat. But almost nobody knows it’s happening — except the big food companies responsible for it.
And Dr. Gundry’s research shows it could be the true cause of low energy, digestive issues, and unwanted weight gain in millions of Americans over 35.
But that’s not even the worst part.
“Because this problem has flown under the radar for decades, there are no rules to protect us. Nobody is stopping these companies from doing this to our food,” says Dr. Gundry.
He exposes exactly what’s happening — and what you can do about it — in a new whistleblowing video report that reveals his shocking research.
“Once you’ve seen this,” Dr. Gundry says, “you’ll never buy groceries the same way again.”
In his free video, Dr. Gundry reveals a new method for protecting yourself and your family from this little-known problem affecting food all across America.
It’s a technique he’s been using himself — and at age 73, he says it’s the reason he looks and feels decades younger.
The video has quickly gone viral, with thousands of people saying they’ve been using Dr. Gundry’s simple discovery at breakfast every day.
And as a result, they report having more energy, improved digestion, more comfortable joints, and a slimmer waistline.
Dr. Gundry has granted permission for us to share the full video below, completely free.
“Every American should have this information,” he says. “And if this video opens your eyes to what’s happening out there, I hope you’ll share it with your loved ones.”

In this episode, Alex Leaf and I discuss the startling fact that 94% of adults have some form of metabolic dysfunction and why treating the biochemistry misses the real problem entirely.
