NO TOX

About NO TOX

Chemical warfare is being waged on human and planetary health. NO TOX exposes the hidden toxins in our thoughts, words, things, and relationships, and then shows you exactly what to do about it. Most people think detox means a green juice or a weekend cleanse. It doesn't. Toxicity lives in your body, your home, your relationships, and your mind, and it accumulates quietly while you go about your week. It's in the fragrance aisle, the lining of the can, the dust in your carpet, and the conversation you keep replaying at 2am. Almost nobody walking around today has an accurate read on their own toxic load. Every week, host Jesse Henry sits down with rebels. People who trusted a system, found out it was quietly making them sick, and then went and did something about it. The details are different every time, but similar patterns pop up time and time again. We look at toxicity in four places, because they feed each other: Thoughts. The loops and beliefs running underneath your decisions. Words. What you say about yourself, and what you let other people say about you. Things. What you eat, drink, breathe, wear, clean with, and sleep on. Relationships. The people, jobs, and environments that fuel you or crush you. Toxicity does not happen by accident. The chemistry in your bloodstream got there through a supply chain. You can filter your water and still be living downstream of decisions you never got a vote on. NO TOX goes upstream and downstream, from the people building cleaner chemistry to the ones treating the damage already done. Removing toxic chemistries from your life can result in optimized: Brain Chemistry Gut Biome Hormone Production Metabolic Health Reproductive Health You'll learn how everyday products and habits could be quietly working against you, and how to tell a swap that matters from one that just feels productive. You'll learn why the order you detox in actually matters, why jumping straight to the advanced stuff before your body is ready can make you feel worse instead of better, and why chasing more supplements on top of a congested system is like renovating a house with a cracked foundation. You'll also learn how physical, mental, and emotional toxicity run on the same wiring, whether you've noticed it or not. Every episode closes with the NO TOX Question. Jesse asks each guest to name one toxin, tangible or intangible, that people should be way more aware of, and one practical way to start reducing it. Stack up a hundred of those answers and you have a reference library instead of a podcast feed. This show is for anyone who reads the labels and still feels off. The parent trying to work out what's actually worth worrying about, the founder who keeps getting told that clean can't be done at cost, the person who has optimized everything and still hit a ceiling they can't explain. This is for the person who is interested in truly sustainable living. Fear is easy to sell and useless to live with. NO TOX is about seeing your own situation clearly enough to act on it in a way that holds up for your home and the planet you live on. If we clear the foundation first, everything we build after that works better. New episodes weekly. Learn more at my.notox.tv (http://my.notox.tv).

   Unlock Your Brain's Potential: The Biohacker's Guide to Sustainable Living (with Lucas Aoun)

   Lucas Aoun has tried more than 250 nootropics on his own brain. He grew up working in his dad's pharmacy, trained as a naturopath, and now builds custom supplement stacks for entrepreneurs and executives. He's also quietly formulated products for some big US supplement brands. About 18 minutes in, he was explaining why most doctors only check TSH for thyroid, and why he likes to see it under 2. So I pulled up my own bloodwork while we were recording. Mine was 7.3. I'm 6'5", 10%(ish) body fat, and I've been lifting for 17 years. I did not see this coming. Update: since we recorded this, I've gotten my TSH down to 2.71. We also get into: - Why so many guys feel "not good enough," and how much of that might be low testosterone - Lucas's take on microplastics blocking the testosterone receptor - Tight polyester underwear, daily saunas, and sperm counts - Why Adderall and caffeine borrow dopamine from tomorrow, and how Lucas rebuilds it instead - The downside of ashwagandha. I took it for a long time before I heard about this. - What to do the morning after a 2am night (I took 20g of creatine before we recorded) - Modified starches in yogurt, pastries and bacon, and why Lucas says they aggravate people's guts Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:25 Doing everything right and still tired 02:17 Growing up in his dad's pharmacy 05:45 Testosterone and the voice in your head 08:48 What to do when stress won't let up 11:41 Sperm counts, underwear, and saunas 15:18 Why a TSH test alone isn't enough 17:57 My TSH is 7.3 21:28 What 250+ nootropics taught him 25:56 Stimulants vs rebuilding dopamine 28:19 Natural vs pharmaceutical 30:12 When biohacking becomes its own stress 32:50 Offsetting the damage 34:52 The problem with ashwagandha 36:43 Coming off long-term ashwagandha 39:00 Why he builds custom protocols 42:39 Mitochondria and how long recovery takes 44:43 The NO TOX question Find Lucas: INB4 Supplements: https://www.inb4supps.com (https://www.inb4supps.com) CatuaPure (the dopamine product he mentions): https://www.inb4supps.com/products/catuapure (https://www.inb4supps.com/products/catuapure) Boost Your Biology: https://www.boostyourbiology.com (https://www.boostyourbiology.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ergogenic_health (https://www.instagram.com/ergogenic_health) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/boostyourbiology (https://www.youtube.com/c/boostyourbiology) TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ergogenichealth (https://www.tiktok.com/@ergogenichealth) Boost Your Biology Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/7ey67YWHirP7NhBgbmouAT (https://open.spotify.com/show/7ey67YWHirP7NhBgbmouAT) Substack: https://boostyourbiology.substack.com (https://boostyourbiology.substack.com) Personalized supplement protocol: https://go.boostyourbiology.com/freebloodtestanalysis (https://go.boostyourbiology.com/freebloodtestanalysis) Custom formulation: https://www.boostyourbiology.com/custom-formulation (https://www.boostyourbiology.com/custom-formulation) TRT Free: https://trtfree.com (https://trtfree.com) The Limitless Course: https://www.thelimitlesscourse.com (https://www.thelimitlesscourse.com) Watch the full episode: https://my.notox.tv (https://my.notox.tv) Host: Jesse Henry, https://www.jessehenry.co (https://www.jessehenry.co) If you know someone who's doing everything right and still dragging, send them this episode.

   The Evolution of Environmental Activism: From Policy to Products (with Ken Cook Founder of EWG)

   What do you do when the law moves slower than the chemicals entering our food, water, homes, and bodies? Ken Cook has spent more than 30 years answering that question. A soil scientist and agricultural policy analyst by training, he helped shape the conservation provisions of the 1985 Farm Bill before co-founding the Environmental Working Group in 1993. Ken entered the fight believing that if you wrote the right law, passed it, and enforced it, the problem would move. Then, as he tells it, regulation slowed, industry resistance hardened, and the distance between what was legal and what was safe stayed open. Ken and the EWG team built their own path. EWG took science and government data out of Washington and put it into tools families could use in the produce aisle, under the kitchen sink, and at the tap. The Dirty Dozen, Skin Deep, the Tap Water Database, and EWG Verified gave people practical choices and gave companies a market reason to make cleaner products. This is not a victory lap. Ken tells the truth about what he got wrong, from missing the power of consumer choice to backing away from early PFAS testing. He takes the criticism of the Dirty Dozen seriously, explains what MAHA gets right and wrong, and shows how to reduce daily exposure without fear, shame, or throwing away everything in your house. WHAT WE GET INTO • Why successful environmental laws triggered a powerful industry response • The insight that changed the pesticide debate: children are not small adults • What companies knew about PFAS before the public did • Why “fragrance” can conceal hundreds of chemicals behind one word • Why Ken argues that legal does not always mean safe • How to make cleaner choices when time and money are limited Ken’s practical advice is simple: focus on the exposures that happen every day, replace products as they run out, and give yourself enough grace to keep going. CHAPTERS 00:00:00 Products Start as Thoughts 00:03:44 Environmentalism Gets Personal 00:05:49 Farm Bill and Backlash 00:08:59 The Problem Was It Worked 00:14:24 From Policy to Products 00:17:03 Founding EWG 00:22:24 Building Dirty Dozen 00:30:59 Green Companies Called 00:34:29 Fragrance and PFAS 00:38:25 PFAS in Tap Water 00:43:11 PFAS Regret 00:46:57 The Market Moved First 00:52:29 Legal Is Not Safe 00:59:29 MAHA and Its Critics 01:07:40 EWG Answers Critics 01:11:36 Nobody Studies Mixtures 01:14:11 Start Under Your Sink 01:17:29 Relaxed Resolve RESOURCES Ken Cook at Environmental Working Group: https://www.ewg.org/who-we-are/our-team/ken-cook (https://www.ewg.org/who-we-are/our-team/ken-cook) Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen: https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/ (https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/) Skin Deep Cosmetics Database: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ (https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/) EWG Tap Water Database: https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/ (https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/) PFAS Contamination Map and Current Data: https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_contamination/ (https://www.ewg.org/interactive-maps/pfas_contamination/) NO TOX Website: https://notox.tv/ (https://notox.tv/) If this episode changed the way you think about what is legal and what is safe, send it to one person who needs to hear it.

   Regenerative Agriculture: The Future of Food and Climate (with John Roulac)

   John Roulac sold a billion dollars of organic food. Then he started testing what was in it. Seventy percent of the imported organic lots his company tested came back hot with banned pesticides. He rejected them. Those same lots went straight to his competitors and onto shelves with a USDA Organic seal on the front. When he told retailers, they said it wasn't their job. That's the guy I have on this week. John founded Nutiva in 1999 with 500 hemp seed bars sold out of his car. He built it to nearly a billion in retail sales and 30,000 stores. He put the first thirty thousand dollars into Kiss the Ground, the Netflix film that made regenerative agriculture a household phrase. He's founded seven nonprofits. He now runs Coco Clean, a plastic free detergent company he spent 32 months formulating because nobody else would. He got here because at 21 a radio DJ said a truck driver dumped nuclear waste nine miles from his house. What we get into: The two tier organic system. US lots go untested. European lots get tested and pass. Guess which ones end up in your cart Why organic acreage is shrinking while organic sales climb, and why electing a different president won't fix it The real reason seed oils took over America. It wasn't health. It was a byproduct problem the industry needed to unload Fourth generation chemical exposure, and what happens when each generation passes the load to the next through the umbilical cord and breast milk Millennials have half the testosterone John had at the same age. Boron is part of that story and almost nobody talks about it Selenium, boron, copper. The three minerals missing from the conversation and the foods that actually contain them Ninety five percent of detergents sold today contain a synthetic dye that serves no function except marketing How he got GMOs pulled from Cheerios and Hershey with a comment campaign Food forests in Guatemala, Kenya, and Malawi, where a nitrogen fixing tree planted every two meters replaced the fertilizer that isn't coming anymore Why he hired a 20 year old from Taco Bell who couldn't afford college, and what she was running four years later The biggest lie in the food system, and the bigger lie inside the movement fighting it John doesn't get invited to the cocktail parties anymore. He'll tell you why on air. If you switched to organic and figured you were covered, this one's going to be slightly uncomfortable. Good! That's the point.

   Transforming Health: A Journey from Corporate Life to Holistic Healing (with Meghan Swidler)

   Everything in your life started as a thought. When the world shows up toxic, that didn't start at the factory. It started upstream. This is NO TOX. My first guest is Meghan Swidler. Cornell summa cum laude, tech startup life in San Francisco and New York, and a VC job offer in 2021 that looked like the dream on paper. Underneath it, she was disconnected, anxious, and dealing with cystic acne, gut issues, and a hormonal mess doctors kept dismissing. She quit that VC job the day after she started it. Today Meghan is a Functional Health and Detox Practitioner based in Venice, California, specializing in deep cellular cleansing and detoxification: colon, liver, lymphatic, parasite, mold, and heavy metal detox. She works with founders, entrepreneurs, and high performers who've already tried conventional and functional medicine and still can't shake gut issues, hormone imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, or chronic inflammation. Meghan is all in on the root cause, not symptom management. In this conversation, we talk about: The Mirena IUD that quietly destroyed her hormones for five years, and the doctor visit where she refused to leave until it came out Why healing is about outputs, not inputs The correct biological sequence for detox: colon, drainage, gut rebuild, liver, then advanced protocols like parasite and heavy metal detox Why skipping ahead before your drainage pathways are open makes you feel worse, not better Forty plus liver and gallbladder flushes, and what actually comes out of the body The one question she asks clients to spot their own misalignment: does this create expansion, or contraction Losing her dog Tommy, a breakup, and a move to LA, and why she now sees it as the universe clearing space for her EMFs as the next invisible toxin nobody's talking about What makes her walk away as an angel investor in health tech, including Function Health and BeSound Health This is for the high achiever who did everything right on paper and still feels off. For anyone who's tried every protocol and still isn't better. For the guy who thinks detox is a woman's thing even though his sleep, drive, and energy tell him otherwise. Meghan is the author of From Within and From Deep Within, both on Amazon, and creator of The Cleanses, her guided digital detox program.
