What was once an awareness of microbes has evolved into a phobia and now a panic. Companies are allegedly deceiving the public with sales tactics, offering products that claim to keep us clean but may actually make us dirtier. These products can disrupt the immune system, protective mechanisms, and responses to pollutants, primarily affecting the skin's barrier function. The skin serves as a barrier against the outside environment, which is essential for preventing external elements from harming the internal environment. Every living organism needs a good barrier.

A non negotiable when I train or run is I no longer run-in synthetic plastic training gear. Not sure if you've seen the research, but they're finding microplastics in people's bloodstream, even building up in organs. Now, these are known endocrine disruptors, but they also cause a cascade of downstream consequences. I literally threw out thousands of dollars of training gear. Lululemon, Nike, Fabletics, and replaced all of it with Ryker clothing. There's a number of companies out there. I chose Ryker because they use high quality materials, a 100% cotton, merino wool. They're breathable, they're light, and they don't impact my performance. In fact, got them on right now, getting ready for a run.

Polyester sheds microplastics into the water supply and onto the skin. Polyester is a kind of plastic. Polyester can expose people to harmful chemicals. A study found high levels of BPA in active wear from brands like Nike, Adidas, Patagonia, and Fabletics. In some cases, BPA levels were over 22 times the allowable amount. BPA has been linked to infertility, cancer, and heart disease. Polyester may be an endocrine disruptor, which can disrupt the body's ability to produce and regulate hormones, potentially leading to elevated body fat and low testosterone.

Be mindful of the materials in your clothing, especially acrylic, polyester, and nylon. While cotton is fine for men's underwear and undershirts, women often prefer pretty things made from less desirable fabrics. When these fabrics come into contact with a woman's body during exercise, her pores open and she can absorb the chemicals. However, there are companies like Fruit of the Loom that sell nice sports bras and underwear made mostly of cotton, with a small percentage of polyester or nylon for stretch. It's best to choose clothing made predominantly of natural fibers.

Polyester is the new birth control. Seventy five percent of female dogs wearing polyester in this study couldn't get pregnant because it tanked their progesterone, the most important female hormone. Polyester creates an electrostatic field that disrupts hormone production. It's also loaded with endocrine disruptors like BPA and PFOS, which tank fertility too. Sports bras are also loaded with BPA, and they go directly into your breast and lymphatic system. Get rid of the spandex, ladies.

Science writer Julian Cribb discusses the impact of chemicals on our health in his book Poison Planet. He highlights the link between degenerative diseases and the overwhelming number of chemicals in our environment. With 143,000 man-made chemicals, we are exposed to thousands of them daily through various sources like food, clothing, and furniture. The combined effect of these chemicals is concerning, although it's difficult to attribute specific health issues to individual chemicals. One example is BPA, which took 20 years to determine as potentially harmful. The constant introduction of new chemicals without proper testing turns us into human guinea pigs. Our world is becoming increasingly chemicalized as we replace natural materials with synthetic ones derived from petroleum.

Microplastics are everywhere, including clothing made of synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex, which shed microplastics when worn and washed. A 2023 study found microplastics in 80% of human blood samples, and another study linked them to a 4.5 times higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Microplastics have also been found in lungs, brain tissue (at 10x higher levels in dementia patients), testosterone and semen (linked to lower fertility), and even placentas and breast milk. Nike, Adidas, and Fabletics use high percentages of polyester in their training wear, leading to microplastic exposure through skin absorption during workouts and release into the water supply during washing. The speaker switched to organic cotton and merino wool clothing. They developed an at-home microplastics test to measure levels in the body. To reduce exposure, check clothing tags, replace synthetic training gear, filter water (as unfiltered tap water contains over 100,000 microplastic particles per year), and avoid plastic food containers and cookware.

When engaging in strenuous workouts or using a sauna, blood sugar levels can rise due to the release of stored sugars from the liver, compounded by dehydration. Many people make the mistake of trying to overhaul their health all at once, especially at the start of the year. Instead, it's more effective to implement strategic changes gradually, focusing on what will have the most significant impact. For instance, clients often come with extensive lists of health goals, which can be overwhelming. It's essential to replace habits rather than remove them, creating an environment that supports new behaviors. Habit stacking is a useful technique where new habits are linked to existing ones, making them easier to adopt. For example, placing a glass of water next to the coffee maker encourages hydration while brewing coffee. Simplifying meal prep can also reduce friction; preparing vegetables in advance makes cooking easier and more appealing. Utilizing delivery services for groceries can help maintain a consistent supply of healthy foods, encouraging cooking at home. The conversation emphasizes the importance of mental health in achieving wellness goals. Many people face pressures that can lead to unhealthy behaviors, and addressing these underlying issues is crucial. Therapy and meditation can help individuals manage stress and improve their overall well-being. Nutrition is another critical area, where flexibility is essential. Strict diets can lead to unsustainable habits, and it's vital to focus on adding nourishing foods rather than adhering to rigid rules. Blood tests can provide valuable insights into nutritional needs, allowing for personalized dietary adjustments. Hydration is also emphasized, particularly the role of electrolytes in maintaining energy levels and preventing dehydration. Many people mistakenly believe they need to drink a specific amount of water daily, but listening to one's body and adjusting hydration based on activity levels is more effective. The discussion touches on the importance of understanding the impact of chemicals in our environment, particularly in food and personal care products. Awareness of these factors can empower individuals to make healthier choices. The conversation concludes with a call to action for individuals to take responsibility for their health by making informed decisions and supporting sustainable practices.
