Toxic Turf | Improvement Warrior Podcast Episode 61

This podcast and blog post come from another podcast that I was unaware of and am hoping to bring awareness to in regards to the toxic aspects of artificial turf and PFAS. As a former gym owner I once I moved into my studio in 2011 it was shortly thereafter that I purchased my artififical turf to put in the studio. Many hours spent in that gym for me and my clients and after closing the gym I moved some of the turf into my home garage and garage gym. I am currently in the process of throwing it out permanently.

This podcast comes from Green Street with Patti and Doug Wood and this one is called Toxic Turf with Barbara Laker and David Gambacorta

  • Introduction to Artificial Turf: Booming popularity in sports fields and playgrounds, despite hidden health concerns.

  • Environmental Impact: PFAS can contaminate soil and water, persisting in the environment for decades.

Jason Yun hosts the Improvement Warrior Podcast, drawing from his background as a gym owner and fitness expert. His perspective shifted fundamentally after encountering the work of Dr. Jack Kruse, an influence that since 2018 has shaped him into a self-described "Mitochondriac." At the core of this exploration is a simple yet profound principle: Circadian Biology governs our well-being. Each episode is a deep, practical dive into the environmental factors that truly power our cells. You’ll hear detailed conversations and monologues unpacking the tangible effects of light exposure, water quality, magnetic fields, and deliberate cold exposure. Jason also translates complex science around sleep, mindset, nutrition, and movement into actionable strategies. The aim is to move beyond generic fitness advice and examine the foundational elements that energize the human body. This isn't just another health podcast; it's a focused investigation into the non-negotiable rhythms and inputs that dictate vitality, all filtered through Jason's direct experience and ongoing study. Tune in for a clear, often surprising roadmap to optimizing your daily life from the ground up.
