This episode features an interview with Attorney Temitope (Tope) Leyimu, a toxic exposure attorney at Motley Rice  who is leading a lawsuit over hair relaxing products that contain harmful chemicals.
 
Hair relaxing products are used for straightening/smoothening hair and many contain harmful formaldehyde, formaldehyde-releasing and other toxic chemicals. The FDA recently issued a recommendation for the recall of chemical hair relaxers containing harmful chemicals. While the agency has initiated its rule-making process, a ban hasn’t been implemented yet.

The products, which have historically been targeted primarily at black and brown women of African descent, have drawn major concern due to their links with reproductive-related cancers such as ovarian, cervical and uterine cancer. An October 2022 study by the National Institutes of Health, revealed that women using chemical straighteners face a 150 percent increased risk of uterine cancer.

Attorneys leading the hair relaxer lawsuit including Leyimu say the FDA proposal is a significant step in advancing public health for women, particularly black and brown women, who are disproportionately impacted by many of these products that are alleged to be harmful.

Tune into the episode to learn more about the litigation, including the historic racialized marketing of harmful hair relaxing products to women of African descent in the US.

Join Dr. Debrah Harding, an expert in integrative oncology, as we explore often-ignored cancer risk factors. We'll discuss environmental culprits like heavy metals and chemicals, along with lifestyle choices related to diet and estrogen balance. These elements significantly influence cancer risk and outcomes. Additionally, we'll stress the value of thorough medical forms in spotting these risks and elevating patient care.

 We'll also address radiation dangers, highlighting a case study. This leads to a broader conversation on electromagnetic effects, risks of phones being held close, and potential harm from earbuds. Take note: The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies certain radio waves as "2B carcinogens."

 Next, we evaluate the role of naturopathic oncology care in enhancing cancer treatments. We'll clarify misconceptions, spotlighting the significance of the FABNO title. As we conclude, Dr. Harding offers strategies for minimizing pill use and countering supplement fatigue for cancer patients. This episode delivers crucial information for both practitioners and patients.

Hot dogs are a classic summer cuisine. In fact, Americans will eat 150 million of them on the Fourth of July alone. But hot dogs, as well as other types of processed meat, have a dark side — they’re classified by the World Health Organization as a Group 1 carcinogen and linked to stomach and colorectal cancers, heart disease and more. If this is news to you, you're not alone. In this episode, we discuss everything from how processed meat affects the body to how much we can eat without taking on health risks. 

Hosts: Zach Moore, Katie McCallum (interviewer)
 

Expert: Dr. Valentine Millien, Gastroenterologist 

Notable topics covered: 

• What counts as processed meat 
• Why processed meat is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen 
• What's in processed meat that makes it so bad for us? 
• It's more than digestive issues — processed meat leads to inflammation throughout the body 
• It's not a bad idea to let your doctor know if you've eaten a lot of it in your lifetime 
• Deli meat, charcuterie, beef jerky: Are some types of processed meat less harmful? 
• The truth about "nitrate-free" deli meat 
• You don't have to stop eating processed meat, but how much is too much? 
• Whether the deli meat sliced behind the counter is better than pre-packaged options 
• Dr. Millien's recommendations for healthy swaps 
• The importance of following colorectal cancer screening guidelines

There is massive, well-funded deception that enables many toxic chemicals and products to go unregulated — says former OSHA head David Michaels. He calls it the science of deception and the manufacture of doubt. Listen, as he explains in shocking detail how corporations pay for corrupt science and disinformation to influence government agencies, and where it’s happening today.

“We have this image that the government is protecting us [from toxic chemicals] and I saw from the inside that this is not the case.”

What makes a healthy home? 

In 2022, that question feels more important than ever. What are the right foods to eat? The least-toxic shampoos and sunscreens? The best way to prevent loneliness while working from home? On Season 2 of the Better Off podcast, we’ll look at the research behind some of those big questions. We’ll also ask what happens to our health when “home” is a tent encampment, or a 6x9 solitary jail cell.

Through six new episodes, host Anna Fisher-Pinkert will talk to leading public health experts about the questions she’s had on her mind as a health communicator, a mom, and a person with more than a little skepticism about the things our culture tells us are “healthy.”
