Alex Clark
By. By the fact there was no driver. So I guess I wasn't thinking about it. Are those electric? I didn't know that.
Unknown Speaker
I don't even. I don't know if they are. I feel like they might be.
Alex Clark
Yeah, they might be.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Alex Clark
That's the future, though.
Unknown Speaker
I know. My mom came to visit me in Phoenix. We have them all over Phoenix. And she was terrified. She lives in Indiana, so she's never seen that before. And she was like, wait a minute. There's no driver in that car. I was like, mom, this is the future. And she's like, I'm not getting in that.
Alex Clark
All right, guys, we got Alex Clark here. We're at Student Action Summit. What an event it's been so far, huh?
Unknown Speaker
Oh, my gosh. This is a. This is a fun one because this is where the boys and the girls get to come. So we have our women's conference, which is in June every year in Dallas. There's always no issues, no drama, no issues with the girls. It's like everybody's just, you know, making daisy chains and. And. And singing and. And doing line dancing. And then you come to this one, it's, like, way rowdier. When the boys are involved. There's always all kinds of stuff going on, so it's just kind of funny how that works.
Alex Clark
Did you see the GU Arrested?
Unknown Speaker
No. What was going on with that? Because somebody made a joke that Tom Holman, you know, got some illegals arrested. I don't think that's what happened. I can't imagine any illegals were its ass.
Alex Clark
I didn't see the full story, but a guy was protesting, screaming out of his car while driving, and then drove into a police officer's car. And then, yeah, he got arrested. There was a bunch of people watching it.
Unknown Speaker
Dang. I'm sad I missed that. Yeah, that's juicy.
Alex Clark
Pretty nuts. But you're right, though. Us guys, we like to be in fights and stuff. This probably doesn't happen at the lady events.
Unknown Speaker
Well. And, you know, it definitely doesn't happen. Happen at the Soy Boy liberal events.
Alex Clark
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Because, you know, there. There's no testosterone to be found even among hundreds of men at those.
Alex Clark
That's an issue right now.
Unknown Speaker
That's an issue. I just was in an Uber, and the Uber driver had, like, a pack of trees, you know, a pack of those carries yesterday. Yeah.
Alex Clark
Yeah. I had to hold my breath the whole ride.
Unknown Speaker
Exactly. It's disgusting right there. It needs to be banned. None of the artificial fragrance air fresheners in a car. So I Tell the Uber driver I go you that those are turning you gay.
Alex Clark
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
And he was like, wait, what do you mean? And I said, your car air freshener is turning you gay. It is depleting you of testosterone. It is wrecking your hormones. He parks to drop me off. He immediately grabs a pack of trees and he puts them in the trash. Thank you for telling me that. Well, that's all it takes. That's all it takes.
Alex Clark
I can't believe people still use those.
Unknown Speaker
I just saved that man's balls.
Alex Clark
It might have been the same Uber driver as mine from the airport. That was the longest airport ride I've ever had. I was literally like this the whole ride.
Unknown Speaker
And you know, Airbnbs, that's one of the first things I do in an Airbnb is I, you know, scrounge around, I look for any of those scented wall plugins. I remove all of them. But those are all totally messing with your hormones, and those can make you very, very sick. It can make it hard to get pregnant. I mean, there's a myriad of issues with anything that has perfume or fragrance that's artificial in it. Your body washes, your deodorants, your candles. People forget about candles, any of that. You do not want that in your home. So I have replaced all artificial fragrance candles with beeswax candles. And not only are those healthier for you, they purify the air and they emit negative ions, which gives you the same, like, relaxed feeling that you get when you're at the ocean, you're at the beach, that there's a reason why you feel so relaxed at a beach. People think, well, it's just because I took time off work and I'm on vacation. No, it's because negative ions are being emitted from the ocean and. And a beeswax candle will do the same thing. So, little life hack.
Alex Clark
That's a great hack. I'm going to buy some when I get home.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, you need them. And sometimes you can get some with scents, like with essential oils in them. And so that would be natural fragrance, and that's totally fine to burn.
Alex Clark
I love that you mentioned testosterone earlier. Do you think there would be as many liberal men if the testosterone levels were raised by 100 points?
Unknown Speaker
Good question. No, I think that is a major issue. And I think that we are seeing higher estrogen levels in, in identifying liberal men than we should be. And I think it's because of the food. I think that the fake, dead, ultra processed food that men especially are eating are totally wrecking their Hormones and their testosterone. And I think when you see these like super emotional lib dudes out there, I think that if I would love to, I would love to set up a booth at an event and I would love to have them line up and get their hormones tested and see where their testosterone levels are. Because yeah, I, I would beg to differ. That they're probably low. And I think if you were to do the same thing at a Turning Point USA event with all these conservative young men, I bet their testosterone levels would be higher. But overall testosterone is lower now, 50% lower than it was in the 80s.
Alex Clark
Right.
Unknown Speaker
So there's still a problem overall. And again, I think it's food related, but there's still an issue there. And also all of these artificial scents, artificial, you know, fragrances that you're using that men are having in their, your shampoos, your body washes, your deodorants, all of that.
Alex Clark
And the WI F. The emf.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, the EMF stuff is so serious. And people think that that's really woo woo. Nuts.
Alex Clark
Where am I? Aries Tech right now?
Unknown Speaker
There you go. Yeah, you're on it. Yeah, the emf. I mean, I am. Every single night when I go to sleep, my phone is on airplane.
Alex Clark
All right, guys, Sean Kelly here hosted the Digital Social hour podcast. Just filmed 33amazing episodes at Student Action Summit. Shout out to Code Health, you know, sponsor these episodes, but also I took them before filming each day. Felt amazing. Just filmed 20 episodes straight and I'm not even tired, honestly. So cold Health, amazing products. I also take these at home, especially when I traveled. I used to get sick every time I flew and I started taking that first time. I haven't had a runny nose. Knock on wood. One standout element. I mean, it's so easy. You know, you got the travel pack here, but you could just take this, fit it in your pocket if you need to. Also all natural, like only saline solution in there so you don't gotta worry about any crazy side effects or anything. Yeah, Code's unique. With supplements, there's a lot of. Who knows what's in these, those ingredients. Code Health, I haven't seen much like.
Sean Kelly
This where it's just based off, you.
Alex Clark
Know, the code, the codes that are.
Sean Kelly
In the saline solution.
Alex Clark
So I would say they're very unique. It's going to be the future of health and medicine. Code Health has been awesome.
Unknown Speaker
Feel the drop and go code yourself mode. I never ever keep that on Bluetooth. And you know, some people, I, I, I interviewed this guy and He. He tests homes for a living. His company is called Test My Home. You spend a couple thousand dollars, he goes through, checks your air quality, he checks to see how many toxic chemicals are in your home. He checks for mold. And it's like a. He's a fascinating. Just. He's a fascinating mind on all this. And he said that this one family, that he was checking their house, they could not figure out why their daughter was deeply sick. Couldn't sleep at night, had no idea what was going on. Come to find out, her wall of her bedroom, where she laid her head at night on her bed was. Her headboard was on the other side of the wall that was connected to the Bluetooth washer and dryer.
Alex Clark
Wow.
Unknown Speaker
And it was causing her to get super, super sick. They turned. They disabled the Bluetooth on the washer and dryer. They moved it or something. And anyway, then she was sleeping through the night like that. Some people are not that affected by EMFs. Some people are highly sensitive. When I'm on a long flight and my phone's in my hand for the entire flight, I can start feeling a buzzing sensation in my hand and I start feeling kind of sick and stuff. And I have to, like, put my phone away and not hold it for a minute. I think sometimes if we really pay attention, we can start feeling the EMFs really affect us. But, yeah, that can significantly impact your sleep and anxiety levels.
Alex Clark
I personally feel like shit inside of Teslas.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, I refuse to own a Tesla. Will never own one for a myriad of reasons. One, I like to feel actual power in a vehicle. And I think it's creepy how they're like, super silent. But I have huge concerns. I mean, I think they tell you, do not ever sit inside a Tesla as it's charging.
Alex Clark
And I used to do that. Yeah. I felt awful.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. Super dangerous. So I wouldn't be caught dead owning one.
Alex Clark
I mean, it's. It's so noticeable where, like, I. If I get an Uber, like, I'll cancel it if it's a Tesla, that's.
Unknown Speaker
Now that's another level. I respect it.
Alex Clark
Yeah, no, I get nauseous every time.
Unknown Speaker
So waymos, then. Would you do a Waymo?
Alex Clark
I tried it in San Fran, but I was so preoccupied by the fact there was no driver, so I guess I wasn't thinking about it. Are those electric? I didn't know, though.
Unknown Speaker
I don't even. I don't know if they are.
Alex Clark
Okay.
Unknown Speaker
I feel like they might be.
Alex Clark
Yeah, they might be.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah.
Alex Clark
That's the future, though.
Unknown Speaker
I know and my mom came to visit me in Phoenix. We have them all over Phoenix. And she was terrified. She lives in Indiana so she's never seen that before. And she was like, wait a minute, there's no driver in that car. I was like, mom, this is the future. And she's like, I'm not getting in that.
Alex Clark
I was on your Twitter. I thought this was a bit of a hot take. I wanted to bring it up. Daycare before the age of three. You're against that?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. So studies show that daycare before the age of three is terrible for child attachment. So in those first three years of life is really when a child's attachment develops and that affects you for the rest of your life with your work relationships, with your romantic relationships. And it happens in those little moments between mother really and child and those diaper changes and those feedings when it's a rotating amount of caregivers that you have in a daycare situation. The child is, is unable to, to build strong attachment with one caregiver. And they really just. It is the most important developmentally for that child to be with their mother as much as possible.
Alex Clark
Wow.
Unknown Speaker
In those first three years, especially now, obviously if you can be a stay at home mom or, or you know, work from home or whatever and you're around your kids even more than that beyond the age of three, obviously I think that that's even better. But for the. But if you absolutely have to work, those first three years are really crucial and I am not the expert on that, but Erica Comazar is. And so she wrote a book called Being there. It's phenomenal. And she goes into the science and the data behind all of this and I did a super viral interview with her on this subject. That's incredible.
Alex Clark
That's good to know. Yeah, really good to know. Breast milk or formula?
Unknown Speaker
Breast milk. So I know that the formula industry wants people to think fed is best and obviously we're not advocating for any child to starve. But the reality is the Trilite from.
Sean Kelly
Therasoge is no joke. Medical grade red and near infrared light with three frequencies per light. Deep healing, real results and totally portable. It's legit. Photo biomodulation tech in a flexible on body panel. This is the tri light from Therasage and it's next level red light therapy. It's got 118 high powered polychromatic lights each delivering three healing frequencies. Red and near infrared from 580 to 980 nanometers. Optimal penetration, enhanced energy, skin rejuvenation. Pain relief, better performance, quicker recovery and so much more. Therassage has been leading the game for over 25 years and this panel is FDA listed and USB powered, ultra soft and flexible and ultra portable. On body. Red light therapy. I use daily and I take it everywhere I travel. This is the Thera 03 ozone module from Therasoge. It's a portable ozone and negative ion therapy in one. It boosts oxygen, clears and sanitizes the air, and even helps your mood. It's a total game changer at home or on the go. This little device is the Thera O3 ozone module by Therasog and it's one of my favorite wellness tools. In the sauna, it boosts ozone absorption through your skin up to 10 times, oxygenating your blood and supporting deep detox. Outside the sauna, it purifies the air, killing germs, bacteria, viruses and mold. And it improves mood and sleep. Negative ion therapy. It's compact, rechargeable and perfect for travel, planes, offices, hotel rooms, you name it. It's like carrying clean energy wherever you go. This is a Thera H2 go from Therasosh, the only bottle with molecular hydrogen, structured water and red light in one. It hydrates, energizes and detoxes water upgrade. The Thera H2 go from Therasosh isn't just a water bottle. It's next level hydration. It infuses your water with molecular hydrogen, one of the most powerful antioxidants out there. That means less oxidative stress, more energy and faster recovery. But here's what makes it stand out. It's the only bottle that also structures your water and adds red light to supercharge it. It's sleek, portable, and honestly, I don't go anywhere without it.
Unknown Speaker
Breast milk is what is best for your developing child, for their immune system. And so that needs to be the first, first choice, if at all possible. I would even do donor milk before I would do formula milk. And RFK is, this is like a huge priority of the MAHA movement right now is to totally look into the ingredients of baby formula. Because baby formula in America, there's more sugar in baby formula, some of these brands than there is in a can of Coke.
Alex Clark
Wow.
Unknown Speaker
For an adult, not a brand new perfect.
Alex Clark
That's baby crazy.
Unknown Speaker
So it's really diabolical the ingredients that they allow in baby formula. And so we're calling it Operation Stork. Speed and RFK is going through and he's, he's getting a better look at some of these ingredients and what we really need to have in there and what we don't.
Alex Clark
So nuts. I had the Maha girls on earlier and she was saying 66 grams of sugar a day, I think people are consuming in America. Something like that.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. I'm not surprised.
Alex Clark
That's so high.
Unknown Speaker
I'm not surprised. Look how much sugar is in one crumble cookie. You want to talk about one of the most evil demonic brands in America today? It's Crumbl Cookie. There are more ingredients in that, I think, than a Coke in the serving size. The recommend, recommended serving size is. Is just a small portion of that whole cookie. And I mean, that right there has more sugar than you should have in like a week. And what's really nuts, I mean, there's like 70 ingredients in these cookies. I'm exaggerating. I don't know. Exactly. So somebody's gonna be like, no, there's only 55. Okay. There's a ton of ingredients. I mean, gasoline is probably cleaner than a crumble cookie, but the owner is making millions of dollars off this product and really poisoning the American people with his. With his cookies. And he does this house tour on Instagram, on an Instagram reel. Somebody comes and says, let's look at the crumble cookie guy's mansion. And he's got like a whole health and wellness room and set up no way in there. And I'm like, this is the most evil thing I've ever seen. You're working on your health and wellness while you are making money basically raping the health of. Of Americans. It's diabolical. I mean, when you see that, it's just evil stuff.
Alex Clark
I think that company is like a billion dollar company now.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, yeah, it's. It's massive. And, and it's very. It reminds me of, you know, the Sackler Purdue story, how they create this product, oxycontin, and they know that it's. It's starting. What we now know is the opioid crisis.
Alex Clark
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
That Americans are dying, they're getting sick, crime is rising. They know it's the pill. They do nothing because they're making so much money. And I feel like we're going to have the same similar story with crumble.
Alex Clark
That's scary. What do you think should be the fixes? Do you think it's education or do you think there should actually be some sort of ingredients get banned or something?
Unknown Speaker
Some ingredients definitely should be banned, which we're doing with things like artificial dye, which Crumble Cookie is full of. So they're going to have to make some changes.
Alex Clark
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
But I think education is the most powerful thing. More than anything, I think. I think Americans want to be healthy. I think that they do not have a lot of the information.
Sean Kelly
I hope you guys are enjoying the show. Please don't forget to like and subscribe. It helps the show a lot with the algorithm. Thank.
Unknown Speaker
Thank you, nation. Maha is really working on that to make sure that people are educated to make better choices. But when they find out the truth, I think they will choose to not eat it. I mean, once you know this stuff, you can't unknow it. And, you know, people always ask me, like, well, don't you ever just crave Chick Fil A? Don't you ever just crave a Whopper? And I don't because I only eat real food. And once you train your body and your brain to only want real food, everything else tastes literally like sofa cushion.
Alex Clark
Yep.
Unknown Speaker
I mean, it's disgusting. Like, it is dead food. It is doing nothing for you. Completely nutrient dead. So, yeah, I don't ever crave any fast food or any junk food. And I think that pisses people off because when I say that, it kind of brings to the forefront and convicts them that they can make these changes if they really want to do it.
Alex Clark
Right. No, I relate to that. I grew up every day eating Burger King.
Unknown Speaker
Yep.
Alex Clark
Now when I eat it, I get nauseous.
Unknown Speaker
Well, and I did too. You know, I'm not Ms. Picture Perfect Wellness. Always been organic healthy. I wasn't until like three years ago. I lived off ultra processed food. My dad recently died. In my opinion, based on an addiction to ultra processed food. He developed glioblastoma, brain cancer, and also heart failure, type 2 diabetes, multiple heart attacks, all kinds of stuff. And, you know, that was really hard for me because I obviously didn't know any of this until only a. A few years ago. And so then my dad's going through this and it's really too late. And my dad was only 57.
Alex Clark
Damn.
Unknown Speaker
So this is happening. The chronic disease epidemic in America is truly terrifying. And when you see places like CNN bringing up, you know, a couple measles cases and, oh, shouldn't we be so terrified about this or this issue? I'm like, have you seen the rates of people being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes every single year? Have you seen the rates of cancer under 30 exploding? Are you aware infertility is rising 1% every single year?
Alex Clark
Wow.
Unknown Speaker
Where are the headlines and the sensationalism about these issues? That is the, the epidemic that we need to be talking about in the emergency. We've always had a couple measles cases. That's not new. There's nothing new there. It's just that they're trying to fear monger because RFK is in, you know, hhs and they want to scare people because of vaccines.
Alex Clark
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Which is a whole nother story, but yeah.
Alex Clark
And they want to make money. Right. Big pharma. They're kind of in bed with the news channels and everything.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. Hopefully that's something that we do this year. I'd like to see pharma ads banned off TV for good in America. You know, America and New Zealand are the only countries that allow pharma ads on tv. And the reason we do that is not. So you see some golden retriever frolicking in a field and you'll ask your. And you know, they're talking about diarrhea or whatever, and then you ask your doctor if you can take the pill. They're. They're putting those commercials on TV so that you will have controlled information from those news sources. The biggest advertiser on mainstream media news is pharma. And so that is why during the pandemic, you know, every broadcast sponsored by Pfizer and then we had no alternative information about the COVID vaccine or about anything else.
Alex Clark
Right.
Unknown Speaker
And so that is really particularly evil and a lot of spiritual warfare there with that. So I'd like to see those completely banned. People in other countries think America is nuts that we allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise on our tv.
Alex Clark
Absolutely. Alex, where can people find your show? Thanks for your time today.
Unknown Speaker
Culture apothecary. Anywhere you get your podcasts and real Alex Clark on YouTube.
Alex Clark
Check her out, guys. See ya.
Digital Social Hour - Episode Summary: Alex Clark on The Hidden Dangers of Air Fresheners
Podcast Information
Introduction In this compelling episode of Digital Social Hour, host Sean Kelly engages in a multifaceted conversation with Alex Clark and an unknown speaker. While the primary focus centers on the concealed health risks posed by air fresheners, the discussion expands to encompass a range of health-related topics, including electromagnetic fields (EMFs), hormone disruption, processed foods, and the pervasive influence of the pharmaceutical industry.
1. The Hidden Dangers of Air Fresheners
The conversation kicks off with a vivid discussion on the harmful effects of artificial fragrances commonly found in air fresheners. The unknown speaker passionately argues against their use, highlighting their detrimental impact on hormones and overall health.
Unknown Speaker [01:44]: "None of the artificial fragrance air fresheners in a car... they are turning you gay. It is depleting you of testosterone. It is wrecking your hormones."
Alex Clark shares a personal anecdote about confronting an Uber driver over his use of air fresheners, leading to the immediate disposal of the product.
Alex Clark [01:57]: "I had to hold my breath the whole ride."
The unknown speaker emphasizes the broader implications of these artificial scents, extending the concern to everyday products like shampoos, body washes, and candles. They advocate for natural alternatives, such as beeswax candles infused with essential oils, which not only purify the air but also emit negative ions, promoting relaxation akin to being at the ocean.
Unknown Speaker [02:25]: "Beeswax candles... purify the air and emit negative ions, which gives you the same relaxed feeling that you get when you're at the ocean."
2. Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) and Health Concerns
Transitioning from fragrances, the discussion delves into the pervasive issue of EMFs and their adverse effects on health. The unknown speaker recounts a case where disabling Bluetooth on household appliances alleviated severe health issues for a young girl.
Unknown Speaker [06:44]: "Her wall of her bedroom... was connected to the Bluetooth washer and dryer. It was causing her to get super, super sick."
Alex Clark shares his personal sensitivity to EMFs, describing discomfort experienced while riding in electric vehicles like Teslas and autonomous cars.
Alex Clark [07:17]: "I personally feel like shit inside of Teslas."
The conversation underscores the necessity of being vigilant about EMF exposure, especially given the silent proliferation of wireless technologies in modern life.
3. Hormone Disruption and Lifestyle Factors
Alex Clark steers the conversation towards the critical issue of hormone disruption, particularly the decline in testosterone levels among men. The unknown speaker attributes this trend to poor dietary choices and the consumption of ultra-processed foods.
Unknown Speaker [04:33]: "Testosterone is lower now, 50% lower than it was in the 80s. There's still a problem overall."
They propose that education on hormone health and dietary interventions are essential to reversing this decline, highlighting the broader societal implications of hormone imbalance.
4. Processed Foods and Chronic Diseases
The dialogue shifts to the pervasive consumption of ultra-processed foods and their link to chronic diseases. The unknown speaker shares a poignant personal story about their father's struggle with glioblastoma, heart failure, type 2 diabetes, and multiple heart attacks—conditions they attribute to an addiction to processed foods.
Unknown Speaker [16:02]: "My dad recently died... based on an addiction to ultra-processed food."
This tragic narrative underscores the urgent need to address dietary habits as a cornerstone of public health.
5. Critique of the Food Industry: The Case of Crumbl Cookie
A significant portion of the discussion critiques the food industry's deceptive practices, using Crumbl Cookie as a prime example. The unknown speaker draws parallels between Crumbl's ingredient-laden products and the notorious Sackler family's role in the opioid crisis.
Unknown Speaker [14:26]: "It's going to have the same similar story with Crumbl."
They highlight the alarming levels of sugar and artificial additives in Crumbl's cookies, comparing the ingredient list unfavorably to that of a can of Coke.
Unknown Speaker [12:35]: "There's more sugar in baby formula... more ingredients in that than a Coke in the serving size."
The discussion calls for stricter regulation and education to combat the widespread availability of unhealthy, processed foods.
6. Pharmaceutical Advertising and Public Health
The conversation culminates with a critique of the pharmaceutical industry's influence on public health, particularly through television advertising. The unknown speaker advocates for banning pharma ads, aligning with the stance of countries like New Zealand.
Unknown Speaker [17:31]: "I’d like to see pharma ads banned off TV for good in America."
They argue that pharmaceutical advertising skews public perception and fosters dependency on medications, contributing to broader health crises.
7. Solutions and Calls to Action
Throughout the episode, the unknown speaker emphasizes education as the most potent tool for combating these health issues. By increasing public awareness about the dangers of artificial fragrances, EMFs, processed foods, and misleading pharmaceutical advertising, individuals can make more informed and healthier choices.
Unknown Speaker [14:45]: "I think education is the most powerful thing. More than anything, I think."
They also advocate for policy changes, such as banning harmful ingredients in products and restricting pharmaceutical advertising to protect public health.
Conclusion This episode of Digital Social Hour offers a robust exploration of various health hazards lurking in everyday life, from seemingly innocuous air fresheners to the insidious influence of processed foods and pharmaceutical advertising. Through engaging dialogue and incisive commentary, Alex Clark and the unknown speaker present a compelling case for heightened awareness and proactive measures to safeguard health.
