0:00.0	Everybody, welcome to show this is Darylene. This is the Darylene podcast. How are you? I am stoked about
0:12.2	this episode because this has become a good friend, Dr. Leo Trisson Day. He is the Jim Hendrix
0:20.3	Medical Professor and Director of the Division of Environmental Pediatrics and Vice Chair for
0:28.8	Research in the Department of Pediatrics at NYU School of Medicine. He has worked in global
0:36.4	public health, primarily why I'm so excited for this conversation because I've been diving into
0:45.0	my book, my Fatal Communities book. And one huge chapter is on all of the issues going on in the
0:54.6	clothing industry and the home and everything else. And what keeps popping up is these persistent
1:04.1	endocrine disrupting chemicals. And Dr. Leo is an expert in that because he wrote this incredible
1:12.5	book that I consumed rapidly called Sicker Fatter Poor. The urgent threat of hormone disrupting
1:22.0	chemicals on our health and future and what we can do about it. So we're talking clothing,
1:28.1	we're talking personal care, we're talking shampoos and conditioners, we're talking carpets

1:54.7	that's why I've dedicated the last six months to learning about it. And Dr. Leo, we unpack this a bit,
2:01.8	but don't be depressed. We are doing things incorrectly for sure as a society without a doubt,
2:09.4	but in order for us to change it we need to face it. We need to look at it and understand it
2:15.6	and first off as someone that wants to take responsibility for your health and your life. And I
2:22.1	know you are one of them and our children, right? And the people we care about, we have to know
2:28.8	what is going on. We have to know where we're being exposed to this stuff. So that's what we're
2:35.2	going to be talking about today. So kick back, relax or go for a run or go for a walk or move
2:42.6	whatever you want to do, but enjoy this next and a very, very important conversation with my good
2:49.1	friend, Dr. Leo Tressande. You are listening to The Darren O'Lean Show. I am Darren. And it is my
