Fatal Conveniences: What Your Thanksgiving Plate Isn’t Telling You

Do you really know what’s hiding on your Thanksgiving plate? Beyond the nostalgic flavors and comforting traditions, there’s a darker side to the feast we often overlook—one that’s quietly impacting your health, the environment, and even your values.

Why When You Eat May Matter More Than What You Eat

What if the timing of your meals is as crucial as what you’re eating? In today’s SuperLife episode, I dive into the powerful connection between meal timing and your body’s natural rhythm—and why it matters more than most of us realize. Breaking down the science behind circadian rhythms, I look at how eating earlier in the day supports better digestion, metabolism, and even mental clarity. Studies show that eating late not only disrupts sleep but can also lead to weight gain and a slower metabolism. So, we’re going to break down why shifting calories to the first part of the day—following the body’s natural peak energy and digestive power—can transform your energy, mood, and long-term wellness. Drawing on ancient wisdom from Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, we see how these systems have always advocated for aligning meal timing with nature’s rhythms. Both recognize that eating in sync with your body’s energy peaks and dips has the potential to support everything from digestion to balanced energy and stable weight. This episode is a return to basics: respecting the body’s natural flow for real, sustainable health. If you’re looking to feel more in tune, support your metabolism, and bring ease to your routine, let’s rethink not just what’s on the plate, but when it hits the plate.

Dr. Kris Hansen: Exposing PFAS, Corporate Cover-ups, and Forever Chemicals’ Health Risks

There are hidden dangers in our everyday products. So much so that they are now saturated in our blood. In this episode of SuperLife, I’m joined by Kris Hansen, PhD who helps us dive deep into one of the topics I’m most passionate about: the world of “forever chemicals” or PFAS. We discuss shocking discoveries Kris made during her tenure at 3M, including identifying fluorochemicals in blood samples, the fierce skepticism she faced when revealing her findings, and the significant environmental and health implications of PFAS contamination. We also discuss what’s hiding in our everyday products and the difficulty of challenging corporate narratives. Dr. Kris Hansen is an analytical chemist with a distinguished career spanning academia and industry. She earned her PhD from the University of Colorado at Boulder, focusing on environmental chemistry. In 1996, Hansen joined 3M’s Environmental Lab, where she played a crucial role in identifying and characterizing PFAS contamination in the environment. Her pioneering work on PFAS has been widely cited, contributing significantly to our understanding of these “forever chemicals.” After leaving 3M in 2022, Hansen now applies her expertise to address global chemical contamination issues.
