The Rich Roll Podcast

There's 9,000 different forms of PFAS in our environment. 9,000 just as a context.

Almost everyone has it in their blood.

Let's become aware of this stuff so that we can make another choice.

We all know that avoiding highly processed food is a powerful step to eliminating toxins from your diet.

But what about the chemicals that we put on our bodies or absorb into our skin from our household products or even our clothes?

Today's guest, Darren O'Leane, who you may know from his many past appearances on the show or perhaps from his star turn as Zac Efron's co-host on the HitNetflix series,

down to Earth has a name for the pernicious ways in which the many products we assume are safe are actually harming us in very real but often invisible ways.

And that term is fatal conveniences.

I'm talking about everything from deodorant and denim to detergent and even dental floss, actually abound with chemicals.

So today we attempt to make sense of this insanity. How to know what products are safe to use and what we should avoid.

You're in very good hands because Darren, when he isn't traipsing the far corners of the globe, or working on new sustainable solutions for agriculture, energy and industry,

has spent the better part of his entire life studying this very topic, all of which he condenses and shares in his fantastic new book, Fatal Conveniences, the toxic products,

and harmful habits that are making you sick and the simple changes that will save your health.

I think this just might be the most powerful and impactful of our five public conversations today.

So get ready to take notes and be prepared to be educated, to be nourished, and most importantly, be empowered.

But first, let's acknowledge the awesome organizations that make this show possible.

We're brought to you today by Inside Tracker. No two bodies are the same.

Well, general principles can guide all of us on some level. I think it's fair to say we're all kind of n of one experiments.

There is no one size fits all plan when it comes to optimizing your unique biology.

We all have our own unique needs, our own unique challenges, which is why the value proposition of Inside Tracker is so unique and so compelling.

Okay, Rich, but what is it? What are you talking about? Well, Inside Tracker is a digital platform.
