BHP 083: Katie Singer | 5G Concerns, Reducing Internet Consumption and Emissions May 20, 2020

Show notes

This episode is the first in a new series with Katie Singer, an expert on the intersection of technology, environmental impact and public health. These episodes are meant to serve as open dialogue about important issues that impact our health and our future.

I first met Katie a few years ago for an eye-opening conversation about the health impacts of cell phones and other electronic usage.

Since that time, Katie has presented critical information about the Internet's footprint at the UN's 2018 Forum on Science, Technology & Innovation and, in 2019, on a panel at RealTruthTalks with the climatologist Dr. James Hansen.

Katie's last book, An Electronic Silent Spring, reports on the health and environmental impacts of exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted by electronic devices and infrastructure. She's currently finishing a book about the Internet's energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, toxic waste, worker hazards and climate impacts.

This is where we spend much of today's conversation - shining light on the true cost of our addiction to devices and data streaming, how we can reduce our impact as individuals, and what we really need to know about the coming Internet Of Things and 5G.

In future episodes with Katie, we'll dive deeper into her upcoming paper that explores the hidden truth about electric vehicles, and maybe do a Q & A episode where I ask Katie your biggest questions bout 5G, electric cars, the internet's footprint, etc.

In This Episode:

Internet's footprint - energy use, greenhouse has emissions, toxic waste, worker hazards
Our consumption is staggering - thinking about the supply chain and requirements to get things to you
- Eating local and avoiding grocery stores: 1 coconut water in New Mexico pales in comparison to 1 electronic device
To have these forums, we must first become aware of the imbalances
Reduce consumption by 70%
- Start at 3%
- WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE?
The Internet is the largest thing that humanity has built: Invisible to us are the true costs that are proportionate to the size
3 main energy guzzlers
- Embodied energy - manufacturing energy cost
- Access Networks
- Data Storage centers (they're everywhere: campuses, hospitals, warehouses seen from space)
  - Floor to ceiling with servers and ALL HAVE EMBODIED ENERGY
    - These centers would be the 5th leading "country" in terms of energy usage in the world

Understanding the Jevon's paradox of energy efficiency: Consumption increases when systems are efficient. We do more because it's easy.
Laptops: 81% of it's energy footprint occurs before you turn it on for the first time
Smartphones: Made of more than 1000 substances (Click here for partial list. This is crazy.)
- Mind blowing stats: More Transistors made in 2013 than grains of wheat grown - and the embodied energy costs FAR exceed the monoculture farming abominations
Embodied energy (the true cost of electric/solar)
- Electronic device has lifespan: cradle (design phase), usable life, and grave
  - Extraction, refining, transportation
5G Concerns: 5G = 5th generation: designed to support Internet of Things & increased traffic
- Requires cell sites every 3-10 houses: HUGE EMBODIED ENERGY COST for infrastructure
The illusion that renewable power will allow us to continue our current lifestyle
What can we do?
- Wireless communication = 10x energy compared to wired... Use wired when possible
- Wait 4 years to upgrade technology
- Buy fewer things!
- Charge phone less
- Video, slideshows, and "flashy" websites = use more data
- Delay children's introduction to electronics as long as possible
How Katie would protect herself from 5G if she lived in a large metropolitan area

BHP 079: Cellular Health and Peak Performance | Dr.’s John Lieurance and Alex Smithers Apr 22, 2020

Show notes

Dr. John Lieurance is a Naturopathic Physician and Chiropractic Neurologist with 24 years of experience who loves to utilize his understanding of the body to find new and powerful ways to help us optimize health and performance.

He currently practices at Advanced Rejuvenation in Sarasota, Florida where he and his team excel in regenerative medicine protocols, including stem cells, Prolotherapy, ozone, cold laser, and many others. Dr. John also does extensive virtual and tele-medicine.

In this double-guest episode, we’re also joined by Dr. Alex Smithers, a board certified Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture Physician as well as a Registered Medical Assistant. Dr. Smithers work with Prolozone, Prolotherapy and other regenerative therapies as well as High Definition Ultrasound. His knowledge of both Eastern and Western medicine gives him a special gift in this field of medicine. He is currently scheduled to sit the medical boards at the end of the year to receive his M.D.

This episode is a crash course in how your cells work, what happens to them when we fly, when we’re performing at altitude, and how we can boost immunity as well as maintain optimal health and high performance for years to come.

We cover:

How flying impacts our cells (jetlag is more than just changing time zones)
The “Travel Hacker Kit”
The link between glutathione levels (the body’s master antioxidant) and viral immunity
Why too many antioxidants can be harmful
Stress, the Hormetic response, and the dose makes the toxin
Why suppositories are better than oral delivery systems for many supplements
CBD Oils – You’re probably getting ripped off and what to do if you don’t notice anything when you take CBD
Are there benefits to supra-physiological doses of melatonin?
The key to health and longevity = Your Mitochondria
Everything you need to know about NAD, the cellular unit of currency (PLUS how altitude affects it, and our mental & physical performance)
And of course, Dr. John Lieurance & Dr. Alex Smithers share their Top Tips to
- Be Better
- Do Better
