Hear the latest news on genetically modified organisms from new “precise” techniques to the latest foods to undergo genetic tinkering in the lab. With the first genetically modified WHEAT now cleared for U.S. cultivation and the first approved spray-on RNA pesticide, the produce aisle is starting to look like a genetics lab (minus the lab coats).

Joel and Sina translate lab talk into lunch talk by revealing the newest GMO foods coming on the market, why you likely won’ t be able to identify these foods based on food labels, and how the government is taking a hands-off approach to regulating and assuring these genetically altered foods are safe for human health..

No doom, no hype—just crisp, current guidance so you can spot the signals behind the label (or the lack of one) and shop with curiosity and confidence.

We want to hear from you!

Is sunlight medicine—or melanoma waiting to happen?

Dr. Alexis Cowan, Princeton‑trained molecular biologist and Chief Science Officer at Japa Health, shines a clarifying beam on the myths and miracles of light.

In this illuminating conversation with Sina and Joel, she reveals the body’s surprising capacity to manufacture its own vitamin D even in darkness, explains why the entire solar spectrum—not just UVB—fuels optimal health, and shares jaw‑dropping stories of people who reversed stubborn ailments with strategic sun exposure alone.

Together they dismantle the “sun equals skin cancer” narrative, explore whether sunglasses and desk‑bound lifestyles are actually upping our skin cancer risk, and weigh the pros and cons of popping vitamin D and melatonin supplements.

From reversing disease to improving sleep and slowing down aging, they discuss it all!

This week’s Community Question:

“How much time do you spend in the sun each day? Track your sun exposure for one day.”

Think rBGH - recombinant bovine growth hormone - was buried in the ’90s alongside dial-up internet? Think again.

In this episode, Joel and Sina uncover how this controversial hormone is clawing its way back into America’s milk supply.

Then, they break down the government’s leaked pesticide strategy to “end chronic disease” and what it really means for consumers.

Lastly, Joel delivers a sobering update from the small farm front—one that could jeopardize your ability to buy chicken from local farmers in some states.

We want to hear from you! This week’s Community Question:

“Do you have a synthetic rBGH-free source of milk? If so, how did you find it?”
