Summary

In this episode, we are joined by Elise Granek, a Professor of Environmental Science in the Department of Environmental Science and Management at Portland State University. Elise's research primarily focuses on applied coastal ecology – specifically looking at the transition zone between land and sea.

Elise and her team are on a mission to conserve the marine community, ecosystem processes, and biodiversity by conducting applied research relevant to management and policy. By analyzing emerging contaminants (such as microplastics), Elise is dedicated to finding out how land activities affect coastal and marine ecosystems…

Offer:
Magnesium is integral for 600+ biochemical processes in the human body. The common misconception is that consuming more magnesium will automatically improve health and well-being. The truth is that there are various forms of magnesium, each of which is essential for a variety of physiological processes. Most people are inadequate in all forms of magnesium, while even those considered "healthy" typically only ingest 1 or 2 kinds. Consuming all 7 of magnesium's primary forms is the key to accessing all its health benefits.That's why we packed 7 forms of 450mg of elemental magnesium into each serving of  Wild Mag Complex. One dose a day is all you need. Learn more and grab a bottle today at WildFoods.co. Use code GENIUS for 10% off your order.

  • How Elise's experience in the field shaped her perspective on conservation biology.
  • Land-based activities that impact marine ecosystems.
  • Where microplastics come from, and how they affect different organisms. 
  • The types of clothing that create the most toxic contaminants. 
  • Interventions to utilize that can mitigate the output of harmful contaminants.

Magnesium is integral for 600-plus biochemical processes in the human body,

and yet most people are deficient. Common signs of magnesium deficiency include fatigue,

muscle weakness, stunted growth, poor immune function, poor concentration in memory,

hormonal imbalances, bone and teeth problems. Most people think grabbing a bottle of whatever
