Starting point is 00:00:00 I am freaking pissed. Did President Trump just hand legal immunity to pesticide companies? The Republicans in Congress are working very hard right now to give immunity to chemical manufacturers, to provide them with this shield so that when we get sick from their chemicals, we will not be able to sue. It is the most enormous slap in the face to maha and all that we've worked for it. Is it true that the Democrats all voted against this and the Republicans voted for it? That's right.
Starting point is 00:00:28 These Congress people knew that the pressure was going to. to be so big that they made sure that their votes were secret. I don't even know what to say. What if the most dangerous ingredient in your kitchen isn't even listed on the label? This week, I'm joined by my friend Kelly Ryerson, aka Glyphosate Girl, a public health advocate, investigative writer, and one of the loudest voices holding big ag and big chem accountable. From skyrocketing infertility to gender disruption, micro penises, yes, really, corporate coverups and chemical warfare. on our food supply, this is the episode that will make you question everything in your pantry.
Starting point is 00:01:28 And yes, we're talking about how Republicans, in particular, are currently betraying the Maha base by pushing legal immunity for chemical companies in what we can do to stop it. This episode is mind-blowing, educational, shocking, fun, and super easy to listen to. If this show inspires you to make any big changes in your life, pause real quick, leave us a five-star review. It takes less than five seconds. and then come join the Cutservatives Facebook group to debrief with other like-minded women. You may notice things look a little bit differently.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I am once again filming at the WIrify studio. Our friends at WIrify have been so generous. My studio is out of commission currently. There was a leprechaun. His foot and shoe actually got stuck in the rainbow as he was climbing down. Really sad story. Please welcome Kelly Ryerson, aka Glyphesay Girl, to culture apothecary. Did President Trump just hand legal immunity to pesticide companies?
Starting point is 00:02:23 effectively, that is what we're seeing happening right now in Congress. Not so much President Trump, but the Republicans in Congress are working very hard right now to give immunity to chemical manufacturers, to provide them with this shield so that when we get sick from their chemicals that they produce, we will not be able to sue for damages. And this is exactly what happened with the vaccine companies, correct? This is exactly the same thing that happened. And as you know that created a whole lot of irresponsible behavior. It takes away the incentive for companies to do the right thing and to report the safety damage. It is an epic fail of regulation that is one of the things that a lot of voters were looking to overturn in the vaccine world, not even realizing that
Starting point is 00:03:10 this was going to come from chemical manufacturers as well. It feels like we're being sold out to Bayer and Syngenta. We are 100% being sold out. Think about this. Bear is a German Corporation. Syngenta is owned by ChemChina. What we are doing right now in Congress, and what Congress people are suggesting is that we allow these foreign chemical companies to poison us, and we can't do anything about it when we get cancer, when we get infertility, when we get Parkinson's disease, when we get ALS, all of these illnesses, we will no longer be able to sue the manufacturers for causing. Is it true that the Democrats all voted against this and the Republicans voted for it? That's right. In fact, the first round of votes, the Democrats came in
Starting point is 00:03:55 strong saying this is outrageous. Of course, they shouldn't have legal immunity. Republicans came and said, yes, they definitely should. It went to a larger group. And it was predominantly Republicans that were voting for it. But get this. There was a big uprising of tons of Maha moms and conservatives that called and told these Congresspeople, they have no interest in having a pesticide liability shield. These Congress people knew that the pressure was going to be so big that they made. made sure that their votes were secret. So when they voted for this pesticide liability shield, we couldn't call them and say, hey, that vote was outrageous and you shouldn't even be elected next term.
Starting point is 00:04:32 No, that can't happen because they made it secret so we don't know. Okay, but why would the conservatives be doing this? We have the Maha movement. They know this is important to us. I'm shocked. The Democrats voted against it. They haven't really been on board with that much of our Maha stuff. So what's going on here?
Starting point is 00:04:45 There is a significant detachment right now from particularly some of the senior members. in Congress and in Senate that are Republicans, there is a detachment and a complete lack of acknowledgement for the younger base of Republicans, the base of families and the people that are ready to have kids, the people with kids that don't want these poisons anymore. If they think that we are not paying attention and that we aren't going to hold them accountable for these acts that are completely against the reason why we even voted for all of these people in the first place, then they're mistaken because the midterm elections are going to be coming up pretty soon.
Starting point is 00:05:20 And it is shaky in several different spots, whether or not Republicans are going to hold Congress or not. They are completely underestimating what this block of young conservatives want and expect out of our elected officials. I feel like the American people are awake at this point, for the most part, to corruption in big pharma, to how powerful big food is. When it comes to big chemical and big ag, are people still asleep at the wheel? Traditionally, and there are always exceptions, but pharmaceuticals have generally been quite protected by the Democrats. The Republicans have protected oil and gas and agricultural chemicals. Now, of course, there's variances, but effectively that's the trend. So this is in line with sort of the traditional old school, frankly, extremely stale and not up to date mentality that Republicans are going to be willing to continue protecting these poisoners. It seems like the fight against big ag is going to end up being the fight of our lifetime.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Oh my God, Alex, like that you just said exactly what it is. And I think people don't understand that that is absolutely the truth. In fact, it's to the point where it is so significantly contributing to our chronic disease epidemic and is so broadly under-recognized by design by the agricultural chemical companies. Meanwhile, our entire future as a species, literally as a species, depends upon us addressing this big, ag chemical problem. It's frankly too late in some cases to even rectify things because there's a lot of epigenetic damage that we're passing down through our babies. If we can't correct this extremely soon, we do not have a future as a country. What can we even do? There are definitely things that can be done. So I'll just start first with this legislation right now. What is it called? So there are two different ones that are going to be coming up. We have the, so when you have a bill like this, you, it's a spending bill. And what's really crafty, by the way, just to go back for a second, because I got my start as glyphosate girl because I was blogging and covering all of the Monsanto
Starting point is 00:07:26 cancer roundup trials. Around that time, Bear acquired Monsanto and the bear, the pharmaceutical company acquired this, this big ag company, and they merged. Bear has had a catastrophic drop in their share price because it was the worst acquisition they could possibly have. They've had shell out now $16 billion on settlements for glyphosate causing cancer, and there's no end to it. They don't want to put a label that some research might show that this causes cancer on their product. This is what this is about. They don't want to put the label, and instead they're trying this roundabout way to get legislators to pass legislation to make sure that they don't get bankrupt and that their stock price can come back up. And frankly, when Bayer outlined this
Starting point is 00:08:15 strategy, the CEO came out and said, this is one of the strategies we're going to do. We are going to go to state levels and we're going to go to the federal level. We're going to establish immunity. And frankly, like a lot of us read that, you couldn't do that. That would take the utmost of corruption, right, to be able to pass something like that. So they tried it twice last year. They tried it in the farm bill that didn't go anywhere and they tried it in a separate legislation. It didn't go anywhere. Helpful that Democrats were in charge at that time when it comes to this. They have now gone full onslaught hitting up many. states in this country trying to pass it at the state level. It's passed now in Georgia and North Dakota.
Starting point is 00:08:50 If you get sick from pesticides or many other chemicals in either of those states, you can no longer sue the company for failing to warn. This is awful. There are tons of people that worked really hard on it, particularly in Georgia, the freedom people, and it passed anyway. Governor Kemp signed it into law. That gave Bear and all the other chemical companies the go-ahead green light to go ahead and pass it federally. So, and there were lots and lots of people that were excited to do this. So now you have in the House this spending bill, they slid it in, section 453. It is so innocuous sounding the way the wording is in the bill that when I've been talking to offices over the last week about this, they're like, that's not what that is. That's not a pesticide liability shield.
Starting point is 00:09:34 In reality, the words are tricky deliberately. It absolutely 100% provides liability shielding for chemical companies, foreign chemical companies. So the thing that people can do, and if there was ever a time that you wanted to be an activist, I would say right now is the time. Absolutely could not be a more important time to actually get on the phone and be calling offices. This means can you call not only your congresspeople, but call other Congress people. And there are lists that are being made of people to call.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Can you email the staffers that work for those Congress people and tell them where you stand? This is going to need to come from the Republican base because otherwise it's going to pass. This has to be the largest uprising of Republicans that can put pressure on these Congress people and frankly directly on President Trump because he should be on the phone right now calling those Congress people and senators and saying this goes against my mandate to make America healthy again. Trump supporter voted for him three times. Okay. Die hard conservative. Absolutely enthralled love the Maha movement. I am freaking pissed. This is a, this is so against everything that we've been fighting for that we said that we had voted for. So our voices in this moment have never mattered more to say, hold on a second. When we're talking exactly what Kelly saying in terms of making America healthy again, this goes against everything that we said that we wanted you to do and everything you promised us that you would do. So we have to be, you know, guns ablaze on social media, calling our legislators saying we want a change here and we do not want this to pass. So what is the script? Like, we pick up the phone.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Who do we call? What do you need to do is you pick up the phone. And this is for the House version. And then I'll get to the Senate version. The House version, you need to call all the Congresspeople that you can, Republican Congress people, Congress people. You tell them the appropriations bill is coming up. There's going to be a vote. All of the Congress people are going to vote on it.
Starting point is 00:11:38 I will not support you if you support language in this bill that gives pesticide and chemical companies immunity from liability and lawsuits. That is what you need to say. And it really doesn't need to be much more than that. Now, offices are saying, oh, in fact, disgustingly, a congressperson yesterday said that, oh, it's so funny. Like, Maha moms are calling and saying, we don't want a pesticide liability shield. Well, they don't really understand what's actually happening. It was total gaslighting and so obscene. And guess what? We're a really brilliant group of women.
Starting point is 00:12:13 We know exactly what they're trying to do. And that type of putting down the moms, what are they thinking? We're the ones that put them there. You need to call those Congress people and senators that are Republicans and you remind them what this voting block is. So now going over to the Senate, the Senate has not released their appropriations bill yet. So we don't know what the language is. But we can work proactively and preemptively.
Starting point is 00:12:36 to call Republican senators, and particularly if you're from that state, but it doesn't even matter. It could be any of the states. And you tell them, you will not support any language that gives pesticide companies a liability shield and a free pass to go ahead and pollute and make us sick with no repercussions whatsoever. Just think about even having to ask that. Like, I'm saying those words. I'm like, that is so insane that we're even having to ask. What is going on with the EPA? I would have to say that Lee Zeldin, the supposed Maha appointee of the EPA that was actually going to keep us safe, has done nothing, has made no signal whatsoever that he is going to do anything about our toxic poisoning. This appointment of this person now that is head of our Environmental Protection Agency has no business being there. He doesn't represent Maha.
Starting point is 00:13:29 I don't think he represents the base of Republicans either because it is kind of. completely anti-freedom. It's anti-health. It's all these things that we're voting on now. So I don't understand this appointment. It's no different than previous administrations. It's the same as like what Biden did. It's the same that Obama did. It's the same that Trump did the first time. It's this repeated protection of pesticides and chemicals that keep us poisoned. And after the Mahal Commission report came out, and by the way, it was an enormous win to even have glyphosate and atrazine mentioned in that thing. It was the original drug. graphs had a lot more about how they're making us sick. That was just even to get it to mention was a
Starting point is 00:14:08 huge win. Well, in response, Lee Zeldin brought in the superstar of the soybean association to come in and regulate our pesticides. He's the biggest protector of these toxins. He's going to make sure that no evidence gets to the surface that might change regulation. It is the most enormous slap in the face to Mahon all that we've worked towards. What do you think Secretary Kennedy thinks of all this? He holds things really tightly, tightly close to the best, probably because that's what a smart politician would do. I do know that when he was at the Maha Commission report announcement and his whole idea is he read Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, which is a book about how pesticides are basically going to kill us all from the 1960s. He always refers back to that. And at the beginning of his presentation with the other commissioners in the White House that we both attended, he was talking about that importance of identifying.
Starting point is 00:15:03 how chemicals are injuring us. And it was interesting because the EPA administrator said nothing of the kind. And his actions are really showing the continuation of this today. There's word that he's going to approve the continued use of dicamba, which is a terrible pesticide. Finally, it was withdrawn for some uses last term and now it's back. It's just like they want to turn on the faucet of toxicity. When it comes to the Maha movement as a whole, is big agricultural to really the only place we're seeing glaring holes here? I would say it's definitely the worst. Now, what is different about maha fighting pharma or maha fighting big food? You know, it's us versus the companies. With this we have, it's us versus entire agricultural system and a lot of farmers that are terrified
Starting point is 00:15:52 that they're going to lose their farm because they won't be able to use chemicals and all of the money. That's at place. So, you know, it's not just Americans versus the corporation. It's Americans. the farmers and the corporations and the government that are all trying to get their way. Let's be honest, navigating health insurance feels like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. It's confusing, expensive, and shocking fact, one in five Obamacare claims were rejected last year. This isn't just bad. It's broken. That's why I love crowd health. They're a platform and community that empowers you to take charge. I talked with Andy, the CEO. He opened my eyes to how insurance companies profit
Starting point is 00:16:33 by denying claims and hiking up premiums. They're definitely not on our side. But crowd health is, and here's how they work. You get unlimited telemedicine, access to cash pay doctors, prescription discounts, and a dedicated care advocate. No network restrictions, no frustrations.

Starting point is 00:17:18 Something absolutely historic has happened. I have worked on this for years and it has finally come to fruition. I have been using Agent Nauter's collagen powder wholly main since probably 20, 22, maybe a little earlier, and I just finally got a discount code to share with you for the first time ever. This is not like any other collagen powder on the market. Jenna Covello, the founder, teamed up with my doctor and friend, Dr. Will Cole, to create what I truly believe is the Hermes, the Rolls Royce of collagen powders. Holy Main is award-winning, best-selling, and known for a reason.
Starting point is 00:17:54 It's non-agglomerated, meaning there are no sketchy additives like seed oils or gums that brands used to fluff up their product. In fact, other collagen brands can legally hide seed oils if they're under a certain percentage. Gross. Holy Main has only two ingredients, baby, wild-caught deep-sea kosher fish and saltwater pearl. That is it. It's formulated to support stronger hair and nails, plumber skin, fewer wrinkles, and a more even skin tone, all from the inside out. I love adding a scoop to my morning smoothie. You can add one to two scoops to your matcha, ice chai, even hot coffee, A double scoop will actually give you 15 grams of protein, which is awesome, and it's completely tasteless.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Holy Main is tested for heavy metals, meet strict European standards, and is Ecosert certified. Go to Agent Nature.com. Use the code Alex Clark for 15% off. Again, that's Agent Nature.com. Code Alex Clark for 15% off. The best luxury, clean skin care brand in business for edible beauty and wearable beauty. Guys, I can't believe it. Finally, code Alex Clark, agent atore.com. If it's good enough for Vogue, it's good enough for me. I guess we need like a refresher, a backstory, kind of a behind the scenes of what is going on with America and our love affair with chemicals on our crops compared especially to other countries.
Starting point is 00:19:20 You know, you do hear from farmers every single time this conversation is brought up. You guys have no idea what you're talking about. You're not farmers. I will lose my farm. So what is your response and what is really the whole story here of how bad it truly is in America? Our agricultural system is too big to fail. We cannot say tomorrow. We want everything to be organic. You stop using those pesticides because just like any drug dependency, let's say, like if you are on benzodiazepine, opioid like SSRI, you can't cold turkey it that day and expect that you're going to be okay. Our soil is the same way.
Starting point is 00:19:55 So they're so used to these inputs. The soil is so used to these inputs that you can't just cut it because it needs time to heal itself. Some people in the Mahal movement have been talking about, no, we just need all to be organic tomorrow. But actually, that is where we get in trouble with the farmers saying that's completely unrealistic, realistic. You don't know what you're talking about because scientifically you can't really do that. That being said, we do have a love affair with chemicals. It is all due to the misappropriation of subsidies. So the USDA puts tons, billions of dollars into supporting our agricultural system. and our farmers. And they are committed to supporting these same GMO seeds, the same chemical system, year after year, even though it's destroying the soils, destroying our bodies, it's destroying the pollinators. Now bees are being made, are being replaced with drones because the bees are dying off. Our pollinators can't pollinate. I mean, it is such a disaster that needs to be addressed. Why does the USDA support that? Primarily because of the revolving door. So it's like the other agencies where you get these people in from industry, they, you know, work there. They do favors for big ag and these chemical companies. And then they're offered these sweet jobs when they come out,
Starting point is 00:21:07 and they're compensated financially for it. And this is a cycle that happens over and over and over again in all the regulatory offices. So that is a cycle that actually needs to be cut. That's something that Secretary Kennedy had talked about. We need to cut that off because without cutting it off, those are going to be bad actors perpetually. We actually had some amazing things in the USDA. When I say we, as a country, we had some amazing things over the last three years. There were all of these farm to school programs that were being supported where schools were getting locally sourced, regenerative, and oftentimes organic food supported by the government. There were a lot of soil health initiatives that were really supporting this transformation. There were processing mills for grains,
Starting point is 00:21:52 and for meats that we're going to provide small producers the ability to actually sell their food and process their food. By and large, I don't know the actual percentage. I would say most, if not all, of these programs have been sliced since Brooke Rollins took place. Those school programs were cut. You no longer have that fresh food going to the kids in schools. Why did she do that? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Every time she stands up and she says, I'm a maha mom and I, you know, I have to say, I would like to have a conversation with her and be like, How is that maha mom? Unless there's a grand scheme, which there could be. I mean, I'm not willing to totally turn on her because I think that she's doing some great things with Secretary Kennedy. This is the nuance, too, that I think is important because I know immediately upon posting this episode that we're going to get these doctors, medical professionals on Instagram that are very anti-Maha. They're very anti-Trump. They hate conservatives and they're very, very pro, like big food, big pharma.
Starting point is 00:22:43 You know, you guys are a fake alarmist. You're fearmongering. Like, there's nothing to worry about seed oils are great. You know, those people. Yes, I know them. So those people are going to see this and they're going to be like, see. see, we freaking told you voting for Trump was a mistake. You never should have trusted him. And I'm like, okay, I am not opposed to calling out, you know, as we go here, hey, there's certain
Starting point is 00:23:01 things I don't like. I don't like how we've done all this weird backpedaling on Epstein. I don't like, you know, the thing, how we're handling some of these things when it comes to big ag. That's important, I think, for us to call out. I am the voter. I voted for you. You know, we are the client, basically. Like, we hired you to work for us. So I think it's okay for us to say, hold on a minute. I'm not happy with how things are going in, you know, this circumstance. Now, there's a hundred other things that I could point to and say when it comes to Maha that I'm like, oh my gosh, yes, like this is incredible. Like, we've done a lot of great things too. But I just know. I just wanted to say that for the people that are going to be like, well, we told you, like, come on.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Like, if you really care about these issues, you cannot deny all of the amazing things that we have accomplished besides this. But yeah, there's still work to be done. It's not going to be perfect. My entire world of working towards clean food were very anti-Trump, anti-Maha in the circles that I've worked with for over a decade. And you live in San Francisco. And I live in San Francisco. Can you imagine? I have a lot of friends, like, aren't interested in talking to me about this, to say the least. But I am definitely not turned against the Maha movement. I think what Secretary Kennedy is doing and just the momentum in general is unprecedented. And the things that they're doing, people say, oh, just food dies. I'm sorry. My son, by the way, would get repeatedly kicked out of class all through second grade. I didn't know why until I figured out from reading Bonnie's blog that it was red food dies. Guess what? He wasn't kicked out anymore.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Like, that's not small. This work that they're doing on ultra-processed food. The work that they're doing on redefining nutrition standards. Like, all of that is so vital. And I don't think that in voting, once again, I'm a realist because I've been working in this for so long and I've had all kinds of horrible trolls and things come after me for talking about. agricultural chemicals and how, you know, I just want the world to starve. So I'm not surprised by this pushback. I would have been surprised if it was easy. Is it true that President Trump is reversing bans on forever chemicals? There's a really huge problem where a lot of forever chemicals
Starting point is 00:25:00 are making their way into our soil. And imagine what that does. That is really bad news for our bill, for those farmers' ability to grow crops in there. And it impacts soil, much like it impacts us. It is a toxic situation. There had been a lot of great moves to try and make sure that that didn't happen. Now Trump has given the go ahead and so I haven't seen it implemented yet, but the thought is yes, PFAS will be allowed in our farming system and to be contaminating our soil. What a weird thing that is. Like that's just weird. I think it's weird too. And so I'm like, okay, again, another thing that we need to be posting about on X, compared to any other president, I know for a fact, President Trump really does care what voters think. So if all of a sudden,
Starting point is 00:25:40 everyone on social media is calling him out on something and saying, we don't like it, I mean, feel like that's going to get to him. He's going to pay attention to it. I mean, we've seen this with the Epstein stuff that all of a sudden, you know, we're seeing Pam Bondi saying like, oh, okay, Mr. President, yes, we're going to look into some things and do this because he's now seeing the voter basis like turning on him on this issue. So he does listen. So I think that's important. And I also think, isn't this super contradictory? Isn't Trump doing some kind of make America beautiful again act, which is being pushed by the American conservative coalition? Yeah, they released that. By the way, not too much fan.
Starting point is 00:26:15 fair. I think actually that organization, Benji, who runs that organization, deserves like a round of applause because it didn't see that coming, right? Yeah. Yeah. So he put that out there. But, of course, all the critics are like, that was just show because look at all that he's doing in terms of mining and not protecting public parks. Why are you glyphosate girl? This is so crazy. I never thought I would be, I had no idea what Glyphos was. Like, I loved my Oreos. Like, I didn't think anything about this. But right after I had my second child, I became really sick with probably something many people relate to with sort of a vague autoimmune-like condition where I had all kinds of symptoms, didn't know what was wrong with me, saw 20 doctors, no one really knew. They layered me on two antidepressants, on a benzodiazepine, on gabapentin and a steroid. And basically, like, oh, I had a hysterectomy and I had sinus surgery, all to fix this problem, right? No one ever asked me what I was eating. So finally, they told me I was crazy because I'm a woman. I'm imagining these symptoms.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And so I finally went to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist happened to have intake blood work that for the first time tested my vitamin levels. Oh my gosh. I had scurvy. I had zero vitamin C. I had all of these severe nutritional deficiencies. Brought it back to my doctor.
Starting point is 00:27:24 My doctor said, oh, that doesn't have anything to do with health. Oh, my gosh. And so I finally saw someone else who said, I think you should try giving up gluten. So I gave up gluten, started eating cleanly, took vitamins, got so much better. but then was mad that I couldn't have gluten, right? So then I went to a conference at Columbia University. They have a preeminent celiac center. I don't have celiac, but they were talking about gluten sensitivity. So a scientist stands up there and says, we don't know if it's actually the gluten that's causing the inflammation. It might be something else. So I'm like, okay,
Starting point is 00:27:55 well, I wonder what that would be. I went up to the microphone and I said, do the farmer spray anything on the grain? And they're like, we don't know. So someone from General Mills happened to be there, he found me afterwards. And he came over and he told me, hey, yeah, right before harvest, they spray round up all on these grains. And so it ends up in the final food product. I'm like, oh my gosh, this opened my whole world to understanding that glyphosate is impacting the gut microbiome. It's contributing to leaky gut, all of these different chronic conditions that are connected to the most used pesticide of all time that's all over our whole environment and in our food and in our water. I was very upset at the time. And around that time in San Francisco, the glyphosate cancer,
Starting point is 00:28:35 litigation trials, the trials were beginning, which actually are the basis of why now we have this liability shield situation. I went up because I wanted to protest. I'm not a protester, but I was so mad about not eating gluten and my autoimmune condition. I'm the same way. I am really serious about my bread. Super serious. Like, this is worth any kind of protest. So I had a sign with me. I go up there. There's no, no anything. Like, there's barely a journalist there. I walked right into the courtroom, sat down next to RFK Jr. And that's how I got to know him. and watched this whole thing. I quit my job at the time, which was health coaching. And I decided I was going to cover every single day of everything that happened in that trial because I knew it was
Starting point is 00:29:15 going to be misreported out to mainstream. And I called myself glyphosate girl to be anonymous. And then, but Monsanto quickly figured out who I was and they sent a spy to come. She said she was a mom blogger to come and keep an eye on me. And I didn't know that until a journalist called me and said, hey, I think that that person is connected with Monsanto. I'm like, no. What was she doing? She was just hanging out, you know, with me each day in the courtroom. She invited me to a couple things. I went. She was great. She was a delight, a perfect spy to say. What? See, I would fall for this. I would fall for this. You and I are too nice. We're too fun. We're like, sure, the more of the barrier. You know what? It's being a girl's girl. That's what's going to
Starting point is 00:29:55 end us in the end. It's we're too much of girls' girls. We do. Like, too posse. I'm like, oh, this is a fun person to go to a party with? So what was her job to do? Just like, tell. Tell them like what you're talking about. Yeah. Just tell them what I'm talking about, what we're saying, what's going on in the back scenes. Because by then I knew all the lawyers pretty well. So probably she was trying to get information. I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:14 But what was super creepy is that the journalist called me late at night to say, no, that person is connected with Monsanto. I'm like, what? She never came back. And so that means she was listening to the phone call. How was she listening to the phone call? Oh, they tap. They tap all of your communications. Like the people that work in this world have had computers crash.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Vandana, Shiva's had all kinds of weird things happens, and Honeycuts had weird things happen. Like, they come after you. It is the darkest of the industries in terms of what they do. They even, like, have a secretive ops unit that they go after the people that are trying to criticize them. They have a whole plan that's called let nothing go. So people like me or anyone that goes online and criticizes, they have people ready to go there and defame you or write an article about how crazy you are through the front groups. I mean, it is a well-orchestrated. What do you mean the front groups? So they have a number of front groups that agricultural chemical companies fund to make sure that they can write articles about people like me or whoever it is.
Starting point is 00:31:13 And probably, I mean, there are probably a million about RFK Jr., right? And so they set up these really smart sounding front groups. So things like the Cornell Alliance for Science, which is actually funded by Bill Gates. There's the genetic literacy. There is GMO answers. There are all these groups that are paid for by industry. so that when you and anyone listening right now, you're like, I think Kelly's crazy when she's talking about that. I'm going to go see if GMOs and glyphosate are a problem.
Starting point is 00:31:41 You input that. Those front groups come up on searches as the first ones as well as critiques about the insanity of the crazy ladies that are saying that this is poisoning us. Should that be legal in the United States? I mean, does that fall under free speech protection? What's the line there? It is falling under free speech. They get away with a lot of free speech too because California, wanted to label glyphosate as a cancer-causing agent. This ended up in the California Supreme Court
Starting point is 00:32:10 for a long time, like for years. Eventually, California lost and Bear won, and Bear didn't have to label the bottle for it causing cancer. They won on the basis that it goes against their freedom of speech because they disagree. They disagree that causes cancer. But don't we have science or evidence that would just make this not a matter of opinion? There is no question that this is connected to cancer. There's no question. In fact, one of my friends is a toxicologist at UC Berkeley, and she was called in by the EPA to come in and give her professional opinion as to whether or not this causes cancer. She looks at all the research. She works with these other two women that are outstanding scientists at University of Washington. They see that, oh, wow,
Starting point is 00:32:53 there's definitely a significant connection between non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and glyphosate exposure. They hand that over on the EPA's committee to the EPA. The EPA asked them to come. They give their opinion and the EPA turns around and says there's no evidence of any harmed humans from exposure to glyphosate. Just straight up lying. So that toxicologist left and she published the research herself. She's like, this is terrible. Alex, like, I genuinely don't know what it's going to take to stop this corrupt behavior because it's, as I say, like, it's getting too late even to stop it. It's happening from administration to administration and it is never ending. So for somebody who's a skeptic and they're like, yeah, I kind of lean towards that. Like, you don't know that it's
Starting point is 00:33:33 the glyphosate that is causing this and all of that, like, what is your, like, short spiel to kind of convince somebody that they're wrong, that glyphosate is one of the most evil, dangerous chemicals that we allow in the United States? It's interesting because glyphosate, in comparison to other pesticides, is actually less toxic. Can you believe? It's just the most used. So we're mostly exposed to it. But when glyphosate came on the market, the farmers were psyched because they're like,
Starting point is 00:33:58 this is a lot less toxic. But there are other things that are considerably more toxic. For example, diquot is something that now has been put into the Roundup formula. So when, and everyone here, I want to highly recommend you do not buy any of the Roundup products when you go to Home Depot. What happened is Bayer wanted to stop these lawsuits. And so they took glyphosate out of the formulation recently, just this year, of Roundup. Because there's such a huge body of evidence that shows glyphosate is a problem that they know they're going to keep on losing lawsuits because there's too much science against it. DiQuot is the replacement chemical.
Starting point is 00:34:31 It's 40 times more toxic. They put it into the roundup bottle, but they're not likely going to be sued anytime soon because there's not a research on it to hold up in court. So instead they're going and they're going to poison us that much more. So I would say, indeed, I'm not someone that thinks it all is due to glyphosate. I think it's a huge problem. I think it's this combination of all the toxins that were completely surrounded by all the time. It's the fungicides, insecticides.
Starting point is 00:34:56 It's these other herbicides that are terrible. It's atrazine. It's the plastics. It's a lot of different things. Glyphosate is the most used and it needs to be dramatically decreased. And actually, there's a plan to do so. This would be the biggest way that we can take care of it. And this is something I've been suggesting repeatedly to the administration. I think this is the time for this. Okay. This is it. Glyphosate is used as a pre-harvest drying agent. This means that when a crop is ready to be harvested, sometimes the farmer goes out there like, oh gosh, part of the field is wet still. I can't really harvest. This other part is dry. I can harvest there. It's easy for them. to just do a passive roundup on top of the grain and do a one-time pass that they go in and they harvest it and they send it off to the mill. That is easy for them to do. This has only been happening since 2005. This practice accounts for at least 90% of our dietary exposure to glyphosate. Just that harvest aid rounding up at the end of the crop growing season. It's not even for a weed killing at that point.
Starting point is 00:35:52 It's just as a harvest aid. So if you can get rid of that practice, which is what Europe recently did, you are going to dramatically decrease our exposure. Now, what's happening is there are a lot of consumers, so this shows our power, shouting, like, we don't want glyphosate, we don't want glyphosate. So now they've substituted paraquot in for that pre-harvest aid. And that is connected to all kinds of problems, most predominantly Parkinson's. We also have a huge Parkinson's growing epidemic in this country. So they're swapping that out because the mills don't test for it. So what we need is a full halt on all synthetic chemicals for use as harvest aids. What should they be using instead then? So what they need, and this is what they did before 2005 when they started. They can go in and they cut it. It's called swathing. They just go out. They cut it. They let it dry on the field. The other alternative, which I know some people in the administration are talking about with enthusiasm and they talked to some farmers on my team recently, so I was really excited, is to be supplying mechanical dryers. So you cut it and if it's still damp, you can pop them in a dryer and it dries. You don't need to put the chemical on it. And it's not cost prohibitive to do that.
Starting point is 00:36:55 So it's just about being less lazy, frankly, and the consumer's standing up for not wanting that. He lost his dad to cancer. He was fit, active, but his health issues were lurking unseen. That is the founder of Jevity's story, and that is why Jevity exists, to disrupt a reactive health care system and make prevention optimization mainstream.

We're all familiar with the phrase bed rot by now, right? Gen Z is fully embracing those all-day-in-bed mental health days.
Starting point is 00:38:24 And I kind of respect it. I think they can go a little overboard, but I think sometimes it can be good for you. But if you're going to commit to staying in bed all day, you better make it cozy. And nothing makes that vibe better than cozy earth sheets. They're made from viscos from bamboo and they're temperature regulating, which means no more waking up sweaty or overheating under the covers, even during peak summer. These sheets are going to help you sleep several degrees cooler or nap through the afternoon judgment-free. I've had cozy earth sheets on my bed for a couple years now. And not only do I sleep better, but I actually look forward to crawling into bed.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Plus, their all-day tea and their studio pant collection, basically pajamas that you can wear in public. They feel like pajamas, but it's very chic, soft, breathable, way, way, way, way comfortable. The reason I got hooked on Cozy Earth years ago, I think it was Oprah. Oprah would, like, put Cozy Earth in her favorite things, that it was her jam or whatever. And look, there's a lot we can say about Oprah that we don't like, but she is really good taste and gifts. And I was like, if these sheets are good enough for her, they're good enough for me.
Starting point is 00:39:24 You don't have to take my word for it. Cozy Earth is going to give you 100 nights to try their betting and a 10-year warranty. That is a decade of trying it out.

I don't think a lot of people realize that. How dark is this going to get? This is such an irony, Alex, because what Big Ag still says all the is in order to feed the world and feed our growing population, we need these chemicals. You guys are fools if you think, we don't need these chemicals because we're going to, how are we going to feed the world?
Starting point is 00:40:07 And I'm looking and I'm like, we're so below the replacement rate in this country. I'm not worried about this exploding population. That's crazy. That's not our problem. Our problem is we can't have babies anymore. I think that the percentage is something like 13% of couples. It's either 13 to 16% of couples can no longer conceive in the amount of time that would be common in the past. And so I know that there's so much debate around, say, IVF and abortion. And in fact,
Starting point is 00:40:35 the Southern Baptist Convention meets each year. And they talk about what the issues are. They're going to be really core to what their political beliefs, what they're going to push for. And it was interesting because there was just a blowout argument over IVF last year. I personally understand both sides. I was appalled that no one, zero people asked, why can't people get pregnant anymore. Right. Why aren't we asking that? Because I can tell you why we can't get pregnant anymore.
Starting point is 00:41:02 And it's just a really inconvenient answer. These chemicals, including atrazine and glyphosate, are directly connected to endocrine disruption. There is so much research that shows that these are impacting our hormones, everything from testosterone to estrogen, to preventing implantation of the embryo and the side of the uterus, to impacting and attacking the ovaries and the follicles. I mean, this is killing and shutting down our ability to reproduce in this country by completely confusing our hormones.
Starting point is 00:41:34 A few years ago, I was curious. I hadn't seen a study. I wanted to know if glyphosate was present in semen because we have this huge drop-off of semen counts. And I'm like, gosh, I wonder if that's part of it. No one knew if it crosses the blood testes barrier. I call it my friends, and they're like, you owe me. And they had their guys send these semen samples into the lab.
Starting point is 00:41:54 They all came back positive for glyphosate. This was not in a farming community. This is just from dietary exposure. And what people don't understand is, okay, so these chemicals are saturating our ultra-processed food. Yes. And 70% of Americans, all of the food they eat is coming from ultra-processed food. So that is why you're seeing this dramatic, crazy increase in infertility. Completely.
Starting point is 00:42:19 It's all connected. It's all of that. This is nothing new with this administration. This is more of the same. Okay. So I went to the EPA last September to present in front of the Office of Pesticide programs. They make the determination on what the rules are going to be. I've forever been talking about, oh, women's fertility, women's fertility.
Starting point is 00:42:34 I'm like, uh-uh, I'm going to the guys now because people will pay attention. So I put a picture of boxers, okay, like up on my slides. And I listed all the things that this is doing to sperm because it kills sperm and it slows motility. It's decreasing testosterone. It's impacting the prostate and just did this long list of things. And I'm like, how are you guys not calling this an endocrine disruptor? Well, the reason why they're not is because 27 of the 32 studies that they base their decision on are private provided by industry. I asked for those studies so I could see them.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Nope. They're proprietary to the company. I don't get to see why they're saying that it's not an endocrine disruptor, meaning we have total corruption and fraud underneath it. Can we sue for them to release? We potentially could sue for them to release. But then it's like, how do you find those lawyers that are funded to do it? And actually, I'm heartbroken because I actually did get a fantastic legal team. that was rearing up to sue over the glyphosate contamination in semen and infertility.
Starting point is 00:43:30 And they even were like finding some plaintiffs and everything. And now it's like a big thing put on pause because it looks like this immunity shield will likely go through and then they can't sue. See, this is like to critical thinkers, okay, I'm sitting here thinking, all right, we are giving a bone to these pesticide companies. And then we're knowing that these are causing infertility problems. And then you have President Trump who's saying, hey, let's just go ahead and cover. her IVF for all these couples and nobody's asking the question, why do so many people need IVF in the first place? That's my big thing. I know that's my friend Ili Bally that, you know, live healthily. That is her big thing when it comes to speaking out about IVF. She's like, I'm angry. And her and I
Starting point is 00:44:11 have different reasons why we're against IVF? Her primary thing is like, why are you doing this? And you're not looking into what is causing the problem in the first place. And these women are coming to you and no one is looking at root cause. And they're just saying, we need 30 grand to be able to go and start this process. So many women really being duped and like nobody's wanting to look further into this. I think that is a huge crime against humanity. It is absolutely disgusting. And I've had a lot of people say, well, you should go and tell the fertility specialist that this might be a thing. Of course, they're not going to. They stand to make so much money from this infertility. One thing that I really think about a lot to is just the religious base that I think is time to
Starting point is 00:44:52 rise here because this is going against God's divine creation, what we're talking about right now. This is shutting down life. This is killing things that God put here, including our ability to reproduce and having children. And it's unfortunate that our economy and our agricultural economy is built on these chemicals. But if we don't have an uprising, specifically right now from the Republican base, it's just never going to stop. You can't be pro-life and pro-big chemical. You can't. Is it? worth buying anymore now that appeal has been approved to be used? Oh my gosh. Get him, Kelly. You know, I had an argument with Mark Hyman about this. Oh, what's more saying? It got to be a little bit of a battle because
Starting point is 00:45:34 last year I noticed that they were putting appeal on organic food. So it's not new. It's been used, just in quiet. And I was like, that's terrible. So some people were DMing me and saying, oh, you know, I'm having allergic reaction when I have appeal on these things. That's weird. It looks like appeal. appeal is behind Mark Hyman's one of his podcasts. Like, I think one podcast they sponsor or something. So I was like, why are you? You know, and he got the CEO on the phone and they did like an Instagram live and they said that it's fine and it's perfectly healthy. What? Mark? Mark Hyman. I'm just very surprised. I'm going to ask him about this if I ever get to interview him. He's one of my dream interviews. Yeah, totally. You need to ask him because I'm so confused because people are having very bad reactions and I mean, in my opinion, it is not, and no one wants it on organic. That's not what we pay for. Right. So you've got a couple grocery stores in the United States. I think Trader Joe's. Yeah. Natural grocers. I think sprouts is out.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Yeah, maybe. Whole Foods loves it. Whole Foods loves it. So you've got different grocery stores that are committing to like, hey, our organic produce is not going to have a peel. And then other ones, you can pretty much guarantee it's going to be on your produce. So what are you doing? Are you just trying to shop at certain grocery stores that are committed to not using it or what?
Starting point is 00:46:44 So that's what I'm doing. And, yeah, just I'm sure you talk about it. I know you do on this podcast all the time. Eating organically is so critical. when now we see that it's corrupted. That's what people think. People are worried that buying organic now is totally worthless. You're spending money just for the same chemicals. Is that true or false? That is false. You still should be buying organic food. Why? Absolutely should be. Because these toxic chemicals I'm talking about, 24D glyphosate atrazine cannot be on there. There's this whole group of fungicides that are so awful.
Starting point is 00:47:13 and they're connected to this rise in resistant strains of fungal infections that you're seeing in people now where they die. It's a similar thing to the antibiotic resistance. Now it's happening fungal because of these fungicides that we're eating. So, for example, I'm going to use potatoes. Potatoes are drenched in fungicide and they have so many different things in these anti-sprout chemicals. You do not want to have a potato that is not organic.
Starting point is 00:47:39 I just interviewed Dr. Bill Schindler from Modern Stone Age Kitchen. And he told me something that I had never heard, which will be coming out soon, which is that potatoes are probably the most poisonous vegetable or whatever that is out there. And that he said you should never ever eat a potato with skin on it. That you should always peel the skin. I had never heard this before. And you, and I'm filming this in the same week. So that's just wild. It's super weird.
Starting point is 00:48:06 And I usually don't talk about it. This is sort of like new information in my mind. It's new information in my mind. So yesterday I made a potato. I made rib eye in a potato and I made sure I peeled off all the skin. And normally I would keep that on because I think about like, you know, in terms of apples or whatever, they're like, oh, the skin is so good for you. So I've always kept the skin on my potatoes.
Starting point is 00:48:22 And I was peeling all the skin off because he really freaked me out. And he also said, if you ever are eating a potato chip bag and there's a green potato chip in there, he said, that tells you it was like releasing the poison to protect itself. That's what that is. The most dangerous potato chip to have is if it's green. And everybody's like, oh, that's just like, it's good. I was like, oh, natural. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:44 No. So now I'm like, I've been red-billed on potatoes. Extra poisonous, then with the chemicals on top of it all, you get terrible. Okay. Like, you definitely don't want to be anything in that. But, and then there are issues, for example, the United States doesn't hold international organic food to the same level that we do our domestic, which is totally unfair for competition for our American organic farmers.
Starting point is 00:49:06 So if you can buy American organic food, that is what you should do. And if not, then I go international organic foods. I still presume it will be better, but of course, there's no way to test. Of course, the very best thing you can possibly do is be going to your farmer's market and talking to the farmer directly. And not everyone has that ability to do that, but, you know, if you do, then that's fantastic. Also, I live in a suburban house that isn't that big of a lot, but I have now converted my front lawn into fruits and veggies. And I love it so much. It makes me so happy.
Starting point is 00:49:35 And I'm the only one on the block because it's pretty urban, but it just brings me a lot of joy. What does glyphosate actually do to the soil? Are we losing essential minerals before food even hits the grocery store? The reason why Americans are so nutrient deficient really has a lot to do with glyphosate. So glyphosate binds to minerals. It was originally developed as a metal pipe cleaner, which is so funny. And a metal boiler cleaner because of its ability to cling so tightly to minerals. Okay. So that's what it was originally used for. Monsanto realized, oh, wow, we can use it also as a potent herbicide. side, but that property still was there. So now you have a situation where the soil is all sprayed with glyphosate. It binds to the minerals and makes them bio unavailable to our crops. I feel like most of the problems in the world are because of a lack of minerals because I just feel like if you get people the zinc and the magnesium and the manganese that is no longer in our food supply effectively, it would be a game changer because maybe our emotions could be a little
Starting point is 00:50:37 more chilled out. But yeah, so that is a really, really big thing. The other thing that it does in the soil is killing the really critical biome that's there. It's very similar to our intestines where it plays a really important role in health. And same thing with soil health. So it is a patented antiparacidic. So it does have these antibacterial properties. In the body, which is, this is nuts, it is a very specific type of antibiotic, whereas only killing the beneficial gut bacteria, not the pathogenic. So it allows things like E. coli to keep going. But you know, that good lactobacillus, forget it. That is like front-line target for glyphosate. And so when we're eating that all the time and you think about gut dysbiosis and how, you know, chronic illness and connecting gut to the chronic illness epidemic, this is a big part of it. In fact, the same lawyers that sued Monsanto for cancer, they also sued Monsanto saying you have to take off the claim that this doesn't impact humans, only impacts weeds by way of the microbiome because they were able to prove that the microbiome is so critical for, you have to take off the claim. And so. And so. And so. And for human functioning that actually you are impacting humans by impacting the microbiome with Roundup.
Starting point is 00:51:42 So that was a win and labeling. Is a tomato in a grocery store in 2025 less nutrient dense than a tomato from 1945? It is so much less nutrient dense. So this is something I'm working on. I founded a new organization with tons of farmers called American Regeneration. And we are looking into exactly this nutrient density piece because what you see is when you heal the soil, you back off these chemical inputs, the soil is able to bring those nutrients back into the crops. And so you taste. And I mean, I have been on some crazy regenerative farms where I'm like, I don't think in my whole life I've tasted like a tomato or a strawberry like that or a blueberry.
Starting point is 00:52:23 Most of the strawberries and blueberries in this country, even if they're organic, they are grown hydroponically. So you're not even getting soil-based berries when you buy things. Is it bad to buy hydroponically grown produce? It's not bad in that there are chemicals or something. it's just not nutrient dense. We're hearing more and more about thyroid disease, especially when it comes to younger women. Could glyphosate exposure be one of the silent causes behind diseases like Hashimoto's and other hormonal disorders? There is a body of research that is starting to connect thyroid disease with glyphosate exposure.
Starting point is 00:52:54 I don't think that it is yet to the point where you can directly do cause, but you definitely are seeing correlation. In fact, there was some work that was done by Dr. Stephanie Seneff a while back where she was able to trace the rise in thyroid disease with the increase of the use of glyphosate in this country, which was pretty crazy. But correlation, not necessarily causation, but there is a lot of research backing up that connection. Alex Jones famously said, they're turning the frickin' the friggin' frogs gay due to altruzine. Are we seeing something similar happening in humans now due to chemicals in our food and fragrance in our products? Yeah, that was wild when Alex Jones came out and was saying that. I mean, the truth is that is what the study said.
Starting point is 00:53:35 I love to be hyperbolic. Yeah. So I went crazy viral this week that we're filming because I made a mention, I said, you know, your car air freshener is turning you gay. Now, your endocrine system being disrupted and, you know, increased levels of estrogen, is that turning you gay? No, I'm being hyperbolic. But what I'm saying is it can make a man more feminine. It can affect their testosterone levels. I got your attention.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Did it work? So that's kind of what I was saying. So I kind of said that. Alex Jones mentioned that about the frogs. What's really going on with these chemicals? So yeah, with the frogs. So I know Tyrone Hayes, the scientist who did that study. I mean, it was really crazy.
Starting point is 00:54:14 It was a massive feminization of his male frogs. I mean, that's just what happened in the study. And actually, Syngenta owned by ChemChina now, they actually hired him to do the study. He found this. He told Syngenta. Syngta said, oh, no, you're not going to publish that. Because it was a pretty low level that this was happening. And so they went after him.
Starting point is 00:54:33 And they said, you know, we're going to show you what it feels like to be gay. We're going to go after your daughter. Like it was like horrible, like horrible, horrible bullying from Syngenta, like super scary. And anyway, but Berkeley still like supported him. He published a paper and that's why we know that in this study, Atrazine, you know, turned the frogs gay. Which is what was in our drinking water. Right. It's in our drinking.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Oh, yeah. It's in our drinking water. This is, this chemical is still in drinking water. It is not allowed elsewhere because it is so extremely endocrine disrupting. It is wild that it still is. It's particularly bad in Kansas and in Texas. So I actually attended a webinar last week with a bunch of scientists that specialize on endocrine disruption from environmental sources. So what is happening is that this is a question that is obviously on many people's mind.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Could it have something to do with gender confusion? Because it's very clear in the evidence that the hormones are being impacted by these chemicals. And we see it, right? You can take a blood test and see the testosterone levels are down in guys now because they just star. The issue is that scientists by and large do not want to touch this hot button topic. Why? Because I would guess they are worried to be the announcer of what they might see. Now, there is a book called Countdown by Dr. Shauna Swan from Mount Sinai. She's excellent. And this describes in a lot of research as crash in fertility, okay? And like how that is
Starting point is 00:55:53 coming about from environmental toxins impacting hormones. This study should be really, really shocking to people. Okay. This is it. She went and studied urinary levels of glyphosate and second trimester women. And then she went to the babies that were born and she measured in the baby girls the distance between the vagina and the anus. In the moms in the second trimester that had the higher levels of glyphosate, that distance was longer, meaning it's a masculinization of the baby girl fetuses. And she actually went on Joe Rogan talking about this because that's what she does. she measures the changes in genitalia over time due to environmental exposures. That should be enough, by the way, that people should be seriously freaked out.
Starting point is 00:56:36 I don't even know what to say. I didn't know that. That is so unbelievably shocking and disturbing, it's hard for me to find words. These types of studies that really needs to be done now, unfortunately, she's at the very end of her career. I think she's in her 90s now. We actually don't have a lot of toxicologists that are coming up the line because it's a very sensitive area to be studying and being public about. If you're like me, you want to be someone who flosses every day, but maybe it's been more of a sometimes habit. Okay, I am not judging you. But
Starting point is 00:57:10 let this be your sign to commit because flossing isn't just about keeping your dentist happy. Research shows that flossing daily can actually lower inflammation throughout your body, support your immune system, and even reduce your risk of heart disease. Now, I was one of those people, okay? I was a sometimes flosser, gross, embarrassing to admit, started flossing every single night, make sure I stuck to that no matter what, like all of my Hashimoto symptoms were relieved. Wild, right? Well, that's because poor gum health can lead to bacteria entering your bloodstream, which impacts way more than just your mouth. People were telling me this, are like Hashimoto's, like, do your gums bleed? You have problems. I'm like, yeah, they're like, you need to be flossing
Starting point is 00:57:49 regularly. So if you're going to floss and you should make it clean and safe, that is why I use zebra. floss is made with clean, non-toxic materials, no petroleum waxes, no forever chemicals, no sketchy coatings. It glides easily, taste fresh, and gets the job done without leaving behind microplastics or weird chemicals. Upgrade your floss game at yayzeeber.com, actually commit to flossing.

Their faces are shrinking. Jaws are narrowing. And as a result, mouth breathing is exploding. It's silently stealing their health.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Mouth breathing isn't harmless. It is linked to poor sleep, snoring, bedwetting, ADHD symptoms, chronic congestion, teeth grinding, and more. If your child shows any of these signs, consider it a red flag and you've got to correct it right away. That is why Airway Dentist Dr. Ben Miraglia and Dr. Callie Hale and Dr. Kevin Goals founded Toothpillow, a revolutionary virtual dental program that addresses the root cause of Airwerex. and developmental issues in kids. Tooth pillow doesn't just band-aid symptoms. It corrects jaw growth, improves tongue posture, and teaches nasal breathing, supporting better sleep behavior and overall health.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Here's how it works. A licensed airway dentist guides you through a virtual assessment. If your child qualifies, they receive a custom guidance appliance and myo functional therapy, plus nasal hygiene tools, all supported with monthly check-ins in the ToothPillow app. Guys, this is incredible.

Take the first step toward better breathing, sleep, and development. If a lawn company came to you and they promised you you could have this beautiful, perfect weed-free lawn, would you trust the chemicals that they were spraying near your kids and pets? Absolutely not. And actually, a green group came because I was having this big ant problem, okay?
Starting point is 00:59:56 Like, it was a big ant problem. So this isn't grass, but this is ants walking all around. And so I contacted this group that said they were super environmentally friendly. They came out. Their suggestion to me was neo-nics. Neo-nics are, they're like it's nicotine derived or, you know, it's as safe as that. That is super toxic. That's their least toxic.
Starting point is 01:00:13 That is crazy. So what I do is I am just, and I think we all need to do this, I don't like it either. I really like well-groomed things. But I'm having to let go of the idea of a perfect grass. Okay, I'm just having to. And it bugs me that there are weeds in it, but that's where I'm going because we actually have had a cancer pocket recently from the sports fields in our hometown with kids playing soccer on fields that have been sprayed.
Starting point is 01:00:39 So that is a no-go. Like, you know, we just have to stop. Well, that was one of the first things when I found out my dad had brain cancer. They were having, you know, a company come like weekly to spray their lawn. So it would just be perfect green no dandelions and stuff. And that was one of the first things I told my mom, I said, please cancel that service. It's just we are inund. by this. And I think that's what overwhelms people is they feel like, well, I just don't even
Starting point is 01:00:59 understand where to start. Like, it's everywhere. What am I supposed to do? And so there are things you can do. So this is what I tell people, okay? So first of all, take off your shoes when you go into your house, if you don't already. You do not want to track that in where you have bare feet and so the chemicals can come up through your bare feet, you know, and through your skin. That is a big thing. If you know, if you happen to live, and I have a lot of followers that ask me this, if you happen to live in a farmland area and if you can go to the neighboring people and you ask them to let you know when when they're going to spray. You can then seal up your house. You can take your kids and be out of the area, preferably for longer than a few hours, like maybe for a few days
Starting point is 01:01:36 to make sure everything settles. The glyphosate and other pesticides by and large aren't going to leave until they're rinsed off. So if you are out in your back patio and you're spraying your cracks back there because you don't like the way that weed is growing up there, and then, you know, you wait your 30 minutes, it dries and then you have your dog out there lying around. That is a recipe for lymphoma and dogs. And so, You have to be really careful because it goes right. In fact, some of the animal studies on glyphosate are specifically on animals and going through their skin and their paws. So that, I don't know if you've seen, but the numbers of dog cancer now are crazy.
Starting point is 01:02:10 And a lot of that is this just surface exposure because people are reading the label. And like, I think it's fine for my dog now to be on that. Same with cats. Now, if you have an opportunity to go buy a house on a golf course that is a beautiful community that is the dream, I wouldn't do it. In fact, there are people that I know who have sold their home because that drift that is constantly coming from golf courses, which are just a hub of pesticides, like some of the very worst pesticides are used on golf courses. And it drifts. And then it's all around your environment. So you happen to have like higher likelihood of having Parkinson's in those communities.
Starting point is 01:02:40 This study just came out. Do you believe that governments or private companies are actively manipulating weather systems? I 100% know this. And it is making me crazy. And I am so thankful that people are starting to catch on because I've known. noticed for the last few years. I'm like, how come I'm lying here? Because I'm someone that actually looks at this guy. How come I'm lying here? And I see this new weather being installed. Like, when does that happen? I look up and I'm like, why is that contrail not disappearing? And it's crazy.
Starting point is 01:03:08 Now, I was a space camp counselor, I just want to say. And I worked for NASA for a while. And I know what a contrail looks like. That's not what's going. This isn't a normal contrail that they keep on trying to say. This is something else. You know, if you go back in time, like you go back 20 years ago when they were starting to like think about geoengineering as a potential thing that maybe you could do. And there were people arguing, even like sociologists, they're like, if you aren't up front right now with what you're planning to do, your whole plan to manipulate the weather is going to backfire. Because when people eventually realize they're going to be so mad because you've been lying to them all these years and it seems like it's nefarious. Cloud seeding and geoengineering, I mean, we know for a fact that they have admitted to doing that, right? That's not a conspiracy theory.
Starting point is 01:03:50 What's strange is that now they're saying, oh, yeah, you could do it, right? Now, the making sunsets guy, he's doing it. I mean, he's doing that. And there's a difference between the stratospheric aerosol injections and then that larger, like the sunblocking kind of technology and the making sunset. So they're kind of two different things. Now, I think that we don't know exactly who's doing it. I'm not even sure it's the American government because this is the thing. People are saying that it's happening in Russia. This is happening globally. I actually. actually was in France last month. And in the south of France, such a nice, like, get away from me and my husband, I saw blue sky maybe one day. The rest, I saw them installing the trails up there to block the sun. And I'm like, how come French people are upset? Like, the French people are all about the environment and like no, no pollution. And this is the other weird thing. So actually my, I called this out on Instagram too. Like, where are these traditional, largely very liberal environmental organizations. Why aren't they saying anything? Where is Greenpeace, Sierra Club, like these types of organizations that collect millions? Why aren't they saying anything? That's creepy to me.
Starting point is 01:05:00 It's taking people like you and me here are sitting right here talking about it and like Instagram and Twitter to finally be like, that is wrong. Do you think these chemicals that are being used in things like geoengineering could end up in soil water in our lungs? So farmers have said that they have already seen the damage that it's doing and particularly this farmer, Steve Jarvis, you definitely must need to have on. documented the impact on his orchards, his apple orchards, and has seen it make it hard for the apples to grow and for the trees to thrive. And this is because of like chemical rain coming down and stuff? Yeah. Chemical rain and just the whatever it is that's sprayed up there. And a lot of it is
Starting point is 01:05:36 considered actually classically, some of the sulfur components are considered classically pollution. But now they're deliberately being put in there and they're, you know, coming down onto the soil and to all of us. I mean, it's so terrible. I know a lot of, like there are a lot of activists out there. They're starting to collect it and sending into labs to seeing exactly what's in it, which is going to be helpful. So this is going to be a spot to watch for sure. And I mean, then it makes me wonder exactly when it started. What are some other huge chemicals that are being used in America that aren't being used other places that American moms really need to rise up and speak out against? I'm going to just say the first one really needs to be this atrazine
Starting point is 01:06:13 that's in the drinking water to go back to it. That is an herbicide that has no business that made the frogs gay and it's not because of that, but it just is really, really potently. And actually, it's connected. There's some research that connects it to penis malformations. I was just going to say, you know how we get everybody on board is we start telling men, your dicks are smaller because of what's in the drinking water. So this is terrible. Some of the baby boys are being born now where the urine is supposed to come out is not at
Starting point is 01:06:42 the tip. It's at the side of the penis. It's a malformation of the penis that they've started to connect with atrazine exposure in the mom. Why do so many online fact checkers actively protect glyphosate? They are protecting because of once again, this too big to fail agricultural system. I am glyphosate girl, and I have spent, you know, all these years focusing on glyphosate, right? I actually don't think we can ban glyphosate.
Starting point is 01:07:07 And I think we can ban it for pre-harvest desiccation. I don't think we can do that to the farmers who have opted to trust the EPA and the government about its safety. And I've spent – I actually worked on a documentary where I was to spend – and tons of time with farmers in southern Illinois and Iowa. And I would meet with these big groups. And I would say, you know, do you think that there's any chance that glyphosate causes cancer? They do not believe that that's true because they have this trust. And to the point that I remember one farmer saying, well, I mean, my family's had cancer, but it's not because of glyphosate. Wow. And so it's really going to be hard. And that's why they're freaking out so much right now. Totally brainwashed. And also, even if they're not brainwashed, they don't see an option to come out of it.
Starting point is 01:07:47 But there is an option. What are some natural things that farmers could do instead? Okay. So this is the revolution that, like, I'm dedicating my life to now because I'm so excited about it. And I'm sure that your listeners have heard you talk about it by this regenerative agriculture. She just got so excited. This is the most hopeful thing because if farmers stop using all these chemicals and they focus on soil health and they start growing other things and they're rotating crops and everything, they become more profitable. And so they are no longer having to work jobs. off of the farm to just like make ends meet. And suddenly, you know, they're not having to spend as much money on the chemicals, but their crops are still growing to the same level. And everything just, you know, the ecosystem returns. It's like if you ever saw biggest little farms, it's like
Starting point is 01:08:30 that. But like you can do that kind of thing on these large, large scale farms, which are thousands of acres. And it's being done. It's done now in small scale. And it's not being supported by the government. It's being supported by independent groups that are farmers that want to help farmers. And so they are going and meeting with other farmers. They're like, hey, look, I am so profitable right now. I was able to do this. I was a chemical farmer for 40 years. Now I'm not. And I'm free from these government subsidies. How amazing is that? Because farmers love that freedom. They don't like the chemical company. They don't like being dependent on them. They just are. And the subsidy system, the government keeps them like that. My audience loves homework. So what are your favorite books or documentaries on big ag, big chemical? My very favorite documentary is Common Ground, which is now streaming on Amazon. on. And I was in it. And so were so many of my friends, you'll probably see a lot of familiar faces and some farmers that are just like, I think, the true American heroes. The book that I always send people to right away is dirt to soil by Gabe Brown. I'm sure some of your listeners right now are
Starting point is 01:09:31 kind of panicked about the fact that, you know, you feel like you can't get away from these toxic chemicals and they're invisible and everything. Those two pieces will make you feel like you can. And I perpetually, if I'm going to keep on doing this activism work, I actually need that reminder because it's just otherwise too depressing, there is this exit, there is this road of hope. And so everyone needs to feel like that. I think also this moment of hope is so strong because of what we put together with this Maha coalition and this new focus on health. And I think even with this Pestside Liability Shield that frankly has kept me up not sleeping for two weeks, we can do this. We can do this because we have each other now and we've heard what we want. And so if we can all just take this time
Starting point is 01:10:13 to push back and tell the, you know, you don't need to call them and say, we need to ban all chemicals. That's not what we're talking about. We're talking about keeping chemical companies accountable. And we can do that. What are some practical tips for how to navigate the grocery store, knowing all of this that you talked about? Okay, so truthfully, like when I first got into this, it was hard for me to eat because then you start like, I don't remember what that term is, but like it's not anorexia. It's just like kind of fear to eat because you think poisons to everything. Oh, like, orthorexia or something? Yeah, orthorexia. That was an issue a little I mean, not too extreme, but I'm like, God, you know.
Starting point is 01:10:42 I wasn't eating dairy for a while, but now I'm eating dairy. I love my Alexander's milk. If it's sold near you. I love Alexander Farms. I'm going to go tour their farm, I think, this fall. Are you really? Oh, my gosh. I'm so jealous of Courtney Swan and I are going.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Oh, my gosh. I want to come with you guys. I totally want to go here. If you don't listen to the show, so Alexander Farmer, we need Kelly to come. Stephanie, who works there, she also, like, teaches young kids to be with, like, the young calves. And so, like, it's a really sweet thing with the cows. So that, I mean, that's my favorite product, right?
Starting point is 01:11:09 Like, that stuff. Yeah, they have yogurt and they have milk, obviously. And it's A2, so it's like sitting well with me, which is fantastic, it's less inflammatory. I'm big on just doing the organic smoothies. I'm really big on eating. I eat steak probably five times a week. I'm eating less chicken just because unless I get it from a source where I really trust where it's from. I am very fortunate to live near a regenerative ranch, the Market Guard farm that is in Hapham Bay, California.
Starting point is 01:11:34 I'm giving a shout out because I love them so much and they have such good meat. And also, Doniga, who runs that farm is this badass woman that's just. is like so lovely. I love what she's doing. So I like to buy my my meat there. So I am very meat. I'm very fruit. I am very vegetable and it's pretty boring. And then with the Alexander milk. If you could offer one remedy to heal us at culture, physically, emotionally or spiritually, what would it be? We need to make taking magnesium mandatory. We have to get there because the road rage, just the Twitter insanity, the anger. I don't even think it's because of political separation. I think it's because people aren't well. I think that their minerals are balanced. You think this is a
Starting point is 01:12:13 magnesium deficiency? I think it's a magnesium deficiency. This is juicy. I think it's a magnesium deficiency because it's such a mood modulator. And this is the other thing. Like I was telling you, I was put on all those drugs. Having to taper off of antidepressants in benzodiazepines is a nightmare. So the thing that allowed me to do so was taking magnesium because actually it kept me at such a stable level. There are a lot of books that are written now about how really you don't find someone unless they're supplementing that isn't magnesium. deficient. And so if you think, like, could you take the most enraged people and put them all in a magnesium bath and then have us all come out a week later and do that every day, what would
Starting point is 01:12:50 happen? Would we all be more chill? I think so. Where can people follow you on social media? You can find me at glyphosate girl. There's no one else that goes by that name. Yeah, you'll find her. You'll find her. You'll find me a glyphosate girl. And in terms of fighting back for this liability shield, you can sign up with me. If you go to stoppoison.org and you can sign up with me and I will send you updates for both state and federal things that you can do to push back, including scripts and phone numbers to call. If you want to have more background on glyphosate in general, I establish my own front group called glyphosate facts, because that's what the industry does, is they do the GMO answers. Like, it sounds very official. So I put up glyphosate facts where you can
Starting point is 01:13:29 go and you can look up this research. And you can see the backstory if you want to know more information. And I have information in my articles about this liability shield. Kelly, you are such a freaking rock star. Thanks for coming on Culture Apothecary. Thank you. for having me. I don't want anyone to ever think that just because I love President Trump, you know, 99% of the time that I'm against calling out things in this administration that I'm not okay with and that I'm not a fan of. And I think that's super important. And I want you to know that I'm never going to not say something if I disagree with it. I love Kelly. She's become such a fun new friend of mine this year. And I hope that you'll follow her on social media. She's just so, so smart.
Starting point is 01:14:11 and she is always on the cusp with all breaking news when it comes to big ag and big chemical. We're on a mission to heal a sick culture every single Monday and Thursday night, 6 p.m. Pacific, 9 p.m. Eastern, wherever you get your podcast or the Real Alex Clark YouTube channel, which also has vlogs and all kinds of extra content.
