Some of the most interesting pieces of this interview that pertain to chronic illness:

How glyphosate might be causing low cortisol in people (21:50)

-Talks about a study which showed amounts of Roundup at levels far below what EPA/WHO considers safe showed cortisol suppression. I'm looking for this study, so if anyone stumbles across it, please post it!

Why the LD50 (the lethal dose of toxins) argument is deeply flawed (23:25)

- Many arguments are made by science skeptics by citing the LD 50 (acutely) as to why all the toxins in our lives are safe. What is not being considered is the LD 50 over a substantial length of time (years), the studies suggesting a synergistic effect between multiple toxins at a lower dose can be damaging, and the latency effect that you can get exposed to something today and not exhibit symptoms until much later. This is one of the reasons why I decided to leave the lab bench behind.

How new research shows that low doses of toxins are as damaging and dangerous as high doses through the Non-monotonic dose-response (27:10)

-The dose does not make the poison. The non-monotonic dose-response suggests that low doses of a given chemical are literally just as physiologically damaging as high doses. These studies started coming out in 2012. The class of toxins that this is reported in is specifically endocrine disrupters.

How negative toxin tests doesn’t mean that you do not have toxins in your body (57:35)

-There are studies that showed people who have tested negative for a chemical in blood, stool, and urine but then tested positive for the chemical via a sweat test. This speaks to the storage and liberation of that chemical.
