Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And, guess what friends? It’s wildfire season. Think you don’t live in an area that’s affected? Think again. Smoke can travel for miles beyond its source. In 2020, smoke from wildfires in the Western United States drifted for almost 5,000 miles, eventually being detected as far away as Europe. That’s important when considering that the primary cause of death from wildfires is smoke inhalation; according to the National Fire Protection Association, 50 to 80 percent of fire deaths are from smoke inhalation.
Our guest and CEO of IQAir North America, Glory Dolphin Hammes, is an expert in environmental control, a Certified Indoor Environmentalist, and a licensed HVAC contractor.
How wildfires impact people The percentage of wildfires that humans cause The amount of damage wildfires do, how fast they move, and how much space they burn annually How wildfires impact our health The type of VOCs and other dangerous contaminants present in smoke The individuals most at risk for severe health consequences from smoke The factors and conditions that could drive wildfire risk in the months ahead Tips to protect yourself both indoors and outdoors from poor air quality?

Do you or have you suffered from allergies, chronic sinus issues, dry nose with chronic crusting (yup, we’re going there), or use a CPAP machine? If so, you are in the right place. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into your nose, no really!
The health of our nose is often overlooked as an important aspect of our overall health. When we breathe through the nose, germs, allergens, toxins, smoke, dust, and particles can get trapped in the skin and hair inside our nostrils. Think about it, the nose is a direct link between the outside air and our respiratory system. Contaminants in the air can cause inflammation and lead to an allergic response, sinus issues, and other upper respiratory problems. Our nose functions like an air filter for the body and it's important to keep air filters clean. Someone who is here to shed light is our guest, Dr. Lebovic.
Dr. Gail Lebovic is an internationally recognized oncoplastic surgeon, a patient advocate, an inventor, and a serial entrepreneur. Currently, Dr. Lebovic serves as the Founder and CEO of Silicon Valley Innovations, Inc. The company is focused on bringing novel drug delivery platforms to the multi-billion-dollar nasal healthcare and feminine healthcare markets. She is also the Founder of the Society of Oncoplastic Surgery.

Spring has officially sprung and for most of us, that means (you guessed it!) spring cleaning! If you have a pile of laundry waiting for you to scrub, suds, fluff, and fold, you’re not alone. In the U.S., 660 million laundry loads are washed every week, totaling a whopping 35 billion loads each year. But, have you ever considered what’s lurking in your laundry detergent? Could your laundry detergent be toxic to your health and the environment (hint: yes).
From phosphates and dyes to synthetic surfactants, optical brighteners, parabens, synthetic fragrances, and chlorine, your conventional laundry detergent brand is likely exposing you and your family to a host of toxic chemicals, allergens, respiratory irritants, hormone disruptors, and maybe even a cancer-causing chemical. Not to mention the plastic waste that your laundry jug is adding to landfills. To add fuel to the laundry jug fire, this plastic can take more than 100 years to break down. But the environmental buck doesn’t stop there. Laundry detergent is a major source of microplastic pollution, with a single load releasing up to 700,000 microplastic fibers into the water. Yikes!
Our guest, Anita Spiller, leads ESG for Tru Earth, a Certified B Corp global household cleaning product company, Anita focuses on eliminating household single-use plastics, battling microplastics, and donating earth-friendly products to organizations in need.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The key issues Tru Earth’s cleaning solutions aim to solve How Tru Earth’s eco-strip compares to traditional liquid laundry detergent Common misconceptions related to earth-friendly cleaning products Advice for someone just learning about healthy and sustainable cleaning solutions Advice to listeners who are looking to make their first eco-swap The products Tru Earth offers in its full lineup Where to purchase Tru Earth productsYou can learn more about Tru Earth’s products and mission at: www.tru.earth/Store.
