112 | LA Wildfires: How to Protect Your Health

LA is under an unprecedented siege of wildfires. Ron and I decided to republish this critically important episode on wildfire dangers, including what you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones. Many people are now without homes, cars, and belongings, while local schools and businesses have been burned to the ground; most affected people are just trying to survive with, in many cases, just the shirts on their backs. Smoke can travel miles beyond its source. In 2020, wildfire smoke in the Western United States drifted for almost 5,000 miles, eventually being detected as far away as Europe. That’s important when considering that smoke inhalation is the primary cause of death from wildfires; according to the National Fire Protection Association, 50 to 80 percent of fire deaths are from smoke inhalation. Keeping your air clean even if you don’t reside in Southern California is essential! Use the right certified masks outdoors and air purifiers indoors. We’ll include links to these resources and offer discounts. Our guest and CEO of IQAir North America, Glory Dolphin Hammes, is an expert in environmental control, a Certified Indoor Environmentalist, and a licensed HVAC contractor. KEY TAKEAWAYS How wildfires impact people The percentage of wildfires that humans cause The amount of damage wildfires do, how fast they move, and how much space they burn annually How wildfires impact our health The type of VOCs and other dangerous contaminants present in smoke The individuals most at risk for severe health consequences from smoke The factors and conditions that could drive wildfire risk in the months ahead Tips to protect yourself both indoors and outdoors from poor air quality Whether you’re in the LA area or know someone who is, please know we’re praying for everyone, animals included!! There’s so much we can all do to assist, whether it's donating your time, efforts, supplies, or even offering your prayers…it all matters.

You’ve heard of leaky gut, but have you ever heard of leaky gums? If not, you’re about to. Beyond gum issues, there’s much more to oral health than meets the tooth! There’s even a correlation between root canals and depression that we cover in this episode. Biological -also known as holistic or natural- dentistry is based on the principle that oral health is intrinsically linked to our overall physical health and wellness. Biological dentistry is a revolutionary approach that integrates the entire body's health with dental care, extending beyond just the teeth and gums. Biological dentists prioritize minimally invasive treatments and avoid harsh chemicals while offering healthy alternatives such as low-radiation X-rays, root canal alternatives, patient education, and biocompatible materials. Biological dentists often employ methods like ceramic dental implants and mercury removal techniques.
