PFAS (Forever Chemicals) in Non-Stick Pans: How They Harm Your Heart With David Barrett

You might think blue light is just part of modern life—phones, tablets, TVs, and LED bulbs everywhere—but what if it's quietly wrecking your sleep, spiking your cortisol, and accelerating aging? Andy Mant, founder and CEO of Bon Charge, breaks down how exposure to artificial blue light is disrupting our circadian rhythms, messing with melatonin production, and leading to poor sleep, brain fog, and even weight gain. But it’s not all bad news. Andy also shares the incredible benefits of red light therapy—how it helps with muscle recovery, injury healing, anti-aging, and even hair regrowth.  Learn why your phone and laptop screens might be telling your brain it’s noon at midnight, how blue light disrupts melatonin just like caffeine does, and why simply switching your light bulbs can make a massive difference in your energy levels, sleep quality, and longevity.  Plus, Andy shares insights on the science-backed benefits of red light therapy for collagen production, muscle recovery, and even fat loss.   "Light impacts your skin.

One out of every five deaths in the US is caused by heart disease, and the forever chemicals hiding in your cookware could be contributing to this epidemic. David Barrett, owner of Chef's Foundry, reveals how PFAS chemicals in non-stick cookware raise cholesterol, increase blood pressure, disrupt thyroid function, slow metabolism, and even increase risk of cardiovascular events. These forever chemicals don't just stay on your pans—they incorporate into your cell membranes and accumulate in your body fat, making them nearly impossible to eliminate. Even one small scratch on a non-stick surface can release 9,000 toxic particles into your food, while heavy scratching releases up to 2 million particles. David shares the shocking DuPont scandal behind Teflon, the truth about "greenwashed" non-stick cookware, and why those flu-like symptoms after cooking might actually be "Teflon flu." Plus, learn which safe cookware options actually work and how to choose between ceramic, stainless steel, and cast iron alternatives.   "You really do need to avoid any cookware that has forever chemicals in them.

Like most people dealing with depression, you’ve probably tried everything—therapy, medications, lifestyle changes—but nothing seems to work. So what if the answer isn’t in taking more pills or sticking to the same old treatments? That’s exactly what Silvia Covelli, founder of the Healing Depression Project, discovered.   After 25 years of struggling with depression and cycling through over 60 failed treatments, Silvia realized it wasn’t about managing symptoms—it was about healing the root causes. She found a new way forward by connecting the dots between body, mind, and spirit and created a comprehensive approach to overcoming depression for good.   In this episode, Silvia unpacks why traditional methods fall short, how the body holds the key to mental health, and why holistic, functional medicine can provide lasting relief.   We explore the gut-brain connection, the impact of trauma on chronic depression, and the science behind Silvia’s program—an innovative blend of functional psychiatry, metabolic health, and trauma-focused therapy designed to tackle depression from every angle.   "From 1990 to 2010, the use of antidepressants in America increased by 50%. And still, the numbers of depression remain the same. So that only means one thing, more medication without results." ~ Silvia Covelli   In This Episode: - What is depression?
