    Cheat days are really bad for you.

    Just 5 days of overeating (adding 1,500 kcal/day)...
    ☠️reduced brain white matter
    ☠️ impaired insulin sensitivity
    ☠️reduced reward sensitivity and increased punishment sensitivity, changing how the brain processes food motivation

    9/ Interventional therapies

    HBOT
    Hyperbaric oxygen therapy entails breathing 100% oxygen under increased air pressure (1.5-2 ATAs), it is an established antidote to acute fire smoke inhalation including carbon monoxide poisoning following acute exposure to fire fumes (often in…

    7/ Antioxidants

    Antioxidants are vital in combating inflammation and oxidative stress in the lungs, liver, nervous system, and other potentially affected organs during and after inhalation exposure, by supporting detoxification processes and overall health protection.

    Vitamin C…

    8/ Nutritional Interventions

    Cruciferous vegetables
    Including broccoli and brussel-sprouts; these contain sulphoraphane, a substance that induces phase II detoxification enzymes both in the liver and lungs. Phase II detoxification is essential to get rid of the carcinogenic…

    6/ If you have been in LA during the fires, or near any major wildfire or urban fires, this is how you can help your body get rid of the toxins.

    Here are some interventions that can help you reduce the toxic load on your bodies and accelerate the release of toxins and their…

    4/ Metabolites from other sources

    2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (2,4-D), which surged from undetectable at baseline to beyond 95th percentile following the fires. While this is a herbicide metabolite is unlikely to be produced by the burning of trees or houses, it is likely to…

    5/ Potential links to my exposure to air pollution in India

    While both the timing and composition of the toxic metabolites in my panel indicate a very likely acute spike linked to the urban wildfire (especially fumes and ash from burning homes) in LA, a contribution of my…

    2/ Phthalate metabolites

    Phthalates are commonly used plasticizers (additives to make plastic more flexible), markedly increased due to homes burning in wildfires.

    Phthalates and their metabolites are endocrine disruptors, which are linked to reproductive, developmental,…

    3/ Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) metabolites

    As the name implies, these are common toxins in the fumes of burning organic materials, including wildfires. Dioxins, polycyclic aromatic carbons PACs, benzene, and xylene are common examples. Most of these compounds cause…

    0/ I suppose if there was one person in LA who was routinely measuring their toxin levels when the fires broke out, it would be me.

    My urinary toxins panel taken at the height of the LA wildfires on January 28th, 2025 showed 9 acutely increased metabolite toxins (4 of which…
