For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place? SHOW NOTES: Kara Weller: The Impossible Dilemma of a Polar Guide Marilyn Raphael: A twenty-first century structural change in Antarctica’s sea ice system Karl Watson: First Time in Antarctica Jeb Brooks : 7 Days in Antarctica (Journey to the South Pole) Metallica - Freeze 'Em All: Live in Antarctica Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

Protecting Your Fertility: A Guide to Reducing Glyphosate Exposure 10:53

vor 3 Tagen10:53

10:53

Story at-a-glance Research shows that glyphosate exposure, even at “safe” levels, causes hormone imbalance, oxidative stress, and permanent damage to reproductive organs like the ovaries and uterus Exposure reduces estrogen and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) while increasing testosterone and progesterone, creating conditions similar to PCOS. It also impairs egg quality and lowers the chance of successful fertilization and implantation Glyphosate alters gene expression in the uterus of offspring who were never directly exposed. These inherited disruptions impact fertility for your children and grandchildren The chemical shuts down mitochondria, blocks detox enzymes, and depletes essential minerals, setting off a chain reaction that affects everything from hormone production to brain function Avoiding glyphosate-contaminated food, filtering your water, eliminating seed oils, and healing your gut are key steps to reverse its impact and regain reproductive and metabolic health…

Story at-a-glance The U.S. channels 90% of its $4.5 trillion annual healthcare costs toward chronic diseases, yet most of it funds profitable drugs and procedures that do not address the root cause of illness Prescription drugs trap patients in an endless cycle of dependence. Once patients start medications for chronic conditions, they rarely stop, even when their health continues to decline Chronic disease patients face severe financial strain; 32% have medical debt in collections and their bankruptcy rate is four times higher than that of healthy individuals Beyond the physical toll, chronic disease impacts your mental health, strains your relationships and makes you feel isolated. Caregivers also experience stress, exhaustion and lost income Medicine must shift from disease management to true healing. Instead of masking symptoms, the focus must be on restoring cellular function and supporting metabolic health to break free from the cycle of chronic illness…
