Valuable How Forever Chemicals Affect Restorative sleep

We’ve been hearing a lot about forever chemicals and how they are ridiculously hard to escape…but do you know how forever chemicals affect quality sleep? Yes, they do that too. This is essential because poor restorative sleep is linked to myriad physical wellness issues, so if forever chemical exposure induces poor quality sleep…you have the lovely public vitality domino effect of doom. On a recentepisodeofCauses or Cures, I sat down with Dr. Sherlock Li to explore his recentresearchon the impact of forever chemicals (PFAS) on quality sleep, a pressing public vitality concern given the strong links between poor quality sleep and a range of well-being issues. Dr. Li begins by providing an overview of what forever chemicals are and how they persist in the environment and human body. He then delves into the methodology of his latest study, detailing the observed effects of PFAS on restorative sleep patterns and the emerging theories behind these disruptions. The conversation also touches on the broader public well-being implications of PFAS exposure and Dr. Li’s cautionary note that the replacement chemicals being introduced may not offer any improvements for our overall health. I found the “replacement” bit unnerving because it’s like “the devil you know might be better than the devil you don’t know.” It also shows how sneaky industry can be in the name of profit–they certainly do not put our physical wellness first. We are like the United States of Chemicals. Ugh. Dr. Sherlock Li, PhD, is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Population and Public Physical wellness Sciences at the Keck School of Medicine. Tune in to the episodehere!
