How The Weedkiller Glyphosate Affects Your Body And How To Avoid It

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens, Cozy Earth, and
Eight Sleep.   Glyphosate is a popular pesticide that has a
big downside—it’s destroying our health. It damages our good gut
bacteria and may lead to leaky gut. Glyphosate also depletes
glutathione, our master antioxidant and a cornerstone of our
biology, and it dramatically impacts our sulfur, methylation, and
detoxification pathways that have many essential roles for our
health. And not only is glyphosate harming human health and the
health of our future generations, it’s also destroying our
ecosystems. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Stephanie Seneff,
Ken Cook, and Dr. Zach Bush about why it’s important to be aware of
the effects of glyphosate and make choices that reduce our exposure
as much as possible. Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research
Scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She has a bachelor's degree
from MIT in Biology with a minor in Food and Nutrition Science, and
a master’s degree, an engineer’s degree, and a PhD degree, all from
MIT, in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Her
recent interests have focused on the role of toxic chemicals and
micronutrient deficiencies in health and disease, with a special
emphasis on the pervasive herbicide, glyphosate, and the mineral,
sulfur. She is the author of Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller
Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment.   Ken
Cook is president and co-founder of the Environmental Working
Group, a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to
protecting human health and the environment. He is widely
recognized as one of the environmental community’s most prominent
and influential critics of industrial agriculture and the nation’s
broken approach to protecting families and children from toxic
substances.   Dr. Zach Bush is a physician specializing in
internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care. He is an
internationally recognized educator and thought leader on the
microbiome as it relates to health, disease, and food systems. Dr.
Bush founded Seraphic Group and the non-profit Farmer’s Footprint
to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health.
His passion for education reaches across many disciplines,
including topics such as the role of soil and water ecosystems in
human genomics, immunity, and gut-brain health.   This episode
