[td] I have a fantastically helpful herbal friend I'd like you to meetRussian folks call it Russian Ginseng. Chinese folks call it "thorny walking stick." (OUCH.) It's not even a true ginseng, but it might be the best little travel hack in your whole kit. I start taking it a couple of days before any trip, and it's the reason I end up on the right plane without losing my luggage, my kid, or my mind. In the new video I break down why I love it so much, what it actually does for stress and sleep, and the antiviral research that has the lab nerds very excited. Watch it here

Some of the most disruptive, disorienting symptoms of perimenopause don’t get nearly the attention they deserve. We talk endlessly about hot flashes, weight gain, and irregular periods, but we aren’t talking nearly enough about what happens to our emotional well-being during midlife. For some women, the emotional impact can be deeply destabilizing. We’re ready for hot flashes. We’re not ready to feel like our whole sense of self and how we handle life has changed! We’re only beginning to understand just how profound this transition can be, so today I'm writing to you who.... Wake up with a deep sense of dread, even though nothing has fundamentally changed. Suddenly feel rage bubbling beneath the surface and have no idea where it’s coming from. Used to handle a thousand things at once but now find yourself overwhelmed by the smallest decisions. Spent your entire life feeling emotionally steady, only to find yourself struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, or depression for the first time. Are years past your last period and finally want words for what you went through. Why do some women feel blindsided by anxiety or rage during perimenopause, while others barely notice a shift in their mood? That’s the question I wanted to answer in my latest essay for The High-Functioning Woman. I look at what hormone fluctuations, a history of PMS or postpartum depression, and years of broken sleep can tell us about why this transition feels so different from one woman to the next. Whether you’re in the middle of it or looking back and thinking, Oh, that’s what was happening to me, I hope this helps you make sense of what you’ve felt. You are not alone.

Hi Jimi,

Women over 51 need about 1,200 milligrams of calcium a day. Food is where I always start, but reaching that through food alone can be hard. Many plant-based women get closer to 800 milligrams a day.

Calcium supplements seemed like the obvious fix until I looked at the research. A 2021 meta-analysis of placebo-controlled trials linked 1,000-milligram-calcium supplements to about a 15% higher risk of cardiovascular events in healthy postmenopausal women.

Other analyses haven’t found the same, and researchers are still sorting out why.

I wanted a clean formula with a moderate dose of calcium, paired with the nutrients that support how your body uses it, something I could recommend to my mom, my wife, and the Food Revolution Network community. When I couldn’t find it, we teamed up with our friends at COMPLEMENT to create one.

COMPLEMENT Bone Vitality pairs a moderate 400 milligrams of well-absorbed calcium citrate malate with the nutrients that help your body put it to work, including magnesium, boron, zinc, and vitamins D3 and K2. It also delivers plant-based creatine and B12 to help support the muscles that keep you steady on your feet.

It’s a clean powder with no added sweetener, color, or preservatives. When we first launched it, Bone Vitality didn’t taste great in plain water. So we fixed it, adding just a touch of non-GMO citric acid. It’s still a clean formula your bones can love. But now it stirs easily into water, juice, a smoothie, or food, and it tastes pleasant.

Today and tomorrow only, you can save up to 25% on Bone Vitality during COMPLEMENT’s Early Black Friday Sale, plus free shipping on today’s order.

The first batch of Bone Vitality sold out in 24 hours, so don’t miss this.

Big Food Is Making Us Fat & Sick – Tell the FDA to Ban Ultra-Processed Foods​

Ultraprocessed Food Ingredient of the Week – The Laxative That’s a Key Ingredient in 3D-Printed Fake Meat​

When we heard that “Perfecta” 3D-printed fake meat from Steakholder Foods would be sold at grocery stores, we figured we should investigate.

What we found were the typical veggie burger ingredients: lots of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), including canola oil, modified corn starch, soy fiber, soy flour, and soy protein. They’re engineered to tolerate massive amounts of Monsanto (now Bayer)’s carcinogenic glyphosate-based Roundup herbicide and other toxic herbicides like glufosinate, 2,4-D, dicamba, quizalofop, and isoxaflutole.

But, one ingredient stood out: methylcellulose. If you’ve never heard of it, start looking for it on food packages. It’s the active ingredient in the laxative Citrucel, and in Perfecta “filet mignon” it’s the third ingredient listed after water and soy flour.

Methylcellulose is one of the ingredients named in former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner David Kessler’s petition asking the FDA to stop treating the ingredients in ultraprocessed food as “generally recognized as safe” and to make companies prove their use is safe. Kessler proved Big Tobacco was deliberately making cigarettes more addictive and, by consequence, more deadly. Now, he’s making the same case against Big Food.

Currently, methylcellulose is one of the ingredients the Food and Drug Administration considers “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS).

Kessler filed a petition with the FDA asking it to revoke methylcellulose’s GRAS status and require food companies to prove that their use of methylcellulose—in ultraprocessed food—is actually safe.

FOOD & FARMING

​

How Not To Feed the World: Five Questions for George Monbiot​

GM Watch:

​

“In his 2022 book Regenesis: Feeding the World Without Devouring the Planet, Monbiot deemed farming almost irredeemably destructive ecologically. The book culminated in a chapter called ‘Farmfree’, endorsing food from bacteria cultured in factories powered by renewable electrical energy using a process he (mistakenly) calls ‘precision fermentation’. This technology, he believes, represents “the beginning of the end of most agriculture”.

In my 2023 book Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future, I probed Monbiot’s analysis of the food system, showing among other things he’d greatly underestimated the energy costs of manufactured bacterial protein, which at minimum are around four times as high as he’d claimed. Updating those figures, just to meet global human needs for protein alone via Monbiot’s favored method would require nearly twice the wind and solar electricity generated worldwide in 2025 (more if needing to correct for the apparently lower digestibility of bacterial compared to farmed protein). And that’s just the energy for in-factory production, not for the total process.”

“Monbiot didn’t take kindly to my criticisms and doubled down on his agenda, numerical errors and all. Still, I felt truth would ultimately triumph over hype.” Learn more.

HEALTH​

Swapping From Dairy To Plant-Based Milk, Cheese and Yogurt ‘Could Lead to Micronutrient Deficiencies’​

Ian Sample, The Guardian:​

“Switching from dairy products to plant-based alternatives could lead to deficiencies in vital micronutrients, especially among young people and women, a study has found.

Even moving partly to vegan alternatives to milk, cheese and yogurt could lead to falls in iodine, calcium, riboflavin and vitamin B12 if the substitutes, often based on soya, almonds or oats, are not fortified, scientists said.

The greatest concerns surround iodine, a trace element used by the thyroid gland to produce hormones that regulate metabolism and support healthy growth and brain development.

Replacing a fifth to a third of dairy intake with plant-based alternatives would lead to prevalence of iodine deficiency rising from 54% to 65% of adolescent girls and from 32% to 42% of women aged 19 to 49 years old.”

The population groups that seem to be at risk and have the lowest intakes were the young women and women of childbearing age.​

NEW STUDY​

Pesticide Exposure in Pregnancy Linked to Changes in Newborn Immune Cells​

Journal of Global Health:​

A new study out of China found that babies born to mothers with high exposure to pyrethroid insecticides had fewer immune cells at birth. Pyrethroids are common, and their breakdown products show up in the urine of most pregnant women.

The team followed 373 mothers and babies in the city of Kunming. They collected urine from the mothers in every trimester, then checked umbilical cord blood after delivery. When a mother had high levels of a deltamethrin breakdown product in more than one trimester, her baby tended to have about 8 to 13 percent fewer T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells. More of those cells were also dying off early.

Those cells are key players in a baby’s early immune defense. T cells direct the immune response and destroy infected cells. B cells make antibodies that help the body recognize and fight germs. Natural killer cells act as fast responders, going after infected or abnormal cells quickly.

The authors’ takeaway: use fewer of these pesticides, and make exposure a regular topic in prenatal care.

Eating organic and skipping conventional pest sprays at home are two ways to cut down on exposure.

POLLINATORS​

Antibiotic Pollution May Be Key Factor in Honeybee Colony Collapses​

by American Veterinary Medical Association:​

“High losses of honeybee colonies, which play a crucial role in global food production, have caused concern around the world. Many potential factors for the population declines have been cited, but a potentially significant threat to pollinator health—environmental antibiotic pollution from agricultural sources—has been largely overlooked, according to a new article published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.

The primary source of exposure in honeybees is the direct use of antibiotic compounds in agriculture or within hives, but activities such as antibiotic overuse, wastewater discharge, manure application and agricultural runoff may represent an even broader source of antibiotic contamination, the researchers said. Residues in agricultural fields create environmental reservoirs of antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance in soil, water and air, which may then expose honeybees while they forage on flowering plants.”

As key providers of pollination services that sustain biodiversity, crop production and food security, honeybees link environmental, animal and human health.

NEW RESEARCH

​

A High-Fiber Diet May Clear Away Plastic in the Gut​

Meghan Rosen, Science News:​

“A high-fiber diet may help sweep plastic particles from the gut, researchers report October 15 in Nature Communications. In mice that ingested plastic, eating loads of fiber daily kept the particles from piling up in the intestines. The finding hints at fiber’s power to protect the body from environmental garbage, says Eddy Y. Zeng, an environmental scientist at South China University of Technology in Guangzhou.

Researchers have long known that fiber can improve our health, in part by lowering cholesterol, keeping blood sugar levels in check and easing food through the gut. But now, Zeng says, his team’s results suggest an additional benefit.

We live in a world littered with plastic, much of it too small to see. These micro and nanoplastics, shed by disposable water bottles, fast food containers and other worldly junk, can make their way into our bodies.”

Experiments in test tubes suggest that fiber physically wraps around and sticks to plastic particles.​

BAD MEDICINE, KILLED TO ORDER & THE NEW CENSORSHIP PUSH​

[/td]​

[td]

One week after the midterms, is the conversation already shifting? Del and Jefferey Jaxen look at renewed pressure to police vaccine discussions online, including a Guardian investigation targeting “crunchy mom” Facebook groups.

Who gets to decide which questions are allowed?
Meanwhile, calls to declare climate change a global health emergency are gaining attention. Jefferey follows the push, while new comments about industry influence and the fight over glyphosate put Washington’s commitment to MAHA in the spotlight.

Jan Jekielek, senior editor at The Epoch Times, joins Del to discuss his book, “Killed to Order,” and his investigation into forced organ harvesting in China. How is the West connected, and what can Americans do to help stop it?

Then, filmmaker Mikki Willis and his son Azai join Del in studio to discuss their latest films. Mikki shares what his investigation into COVID hospital care uncovered in “Bad Medicine,” ahead of its December 16 nationwide premiere, while Azai takes on screen addiction and his generation’s growing disconnection in his award-winning documentary short, “Shine.”​
