Understanding that toxic exposure often leads to oxidative stress at the cellular level can be critical in preventive activiation and supplementation.

Yesterday we shared “Nine Most Toxic Military Installations according to the U.S. EPA” - we had some questions about certain bases, what classified them as “toxic,” the types of chemicals and exposures, and how long those bases have been considered polluted with potentially dangerous substances.

The list is much larger than 9 - we could only fit nine slides. So, today we created the full list (approximately 75 military installations) ranked by EPA standards (Images in comments) in order by score, and also including what year the military base was added as a contaminated location.

Each location is given a “site score” and those scores are based on:

- The location site has released hazardous substances into the environment;

- Characteristics of the chemicals (e.g. toxicity and waste quantity);

- And the likelihood of humans or sensitive environments (targets) affected by the chemical release.

Out of 1,336 locations (both civilian and government) across the United States, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam ranks 6th worst in site scores.

Each location gives a brief rundown of chemicals and the type of exposure / route they are found. For example, at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base at least 81 known chemicals were found at various locations of the base, some examples below:

- GROUNDWATER:
TCDD (“agent orange”),
Arsenic
Benzene
Trichloroethene (TCE)
PFAS/PFOS

- LEACHATE:
Cyanide
Lead
Ethylbenzene
Naphthalene

- SOIL/SEDIMENT:
Chromium
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
Toluene
Xylene

- The map shows which states currently have the most active duty service members stationed at DOD installations:

🟥 Red = Large amounts of active duty military members

⚫️ = Exact geographic locations of military bases listed by EPA. The larger the circle, the more toxic the base.

➡️ Something to consider, everything and anything has the capacity and capability to be toxic to your health. Understanding risk factors and finding ways to minimize exposures, for example, using filtered water systems, and in-home air purification filters.

Small things add up, whether it is small exposures or small preventive measures is up to you.

Awareness like this can save someone.

Diagnostic trends show military service members and veterans of the post-9/11 era have experienced roughly 65% less serum testosterone due to chronic stress and duress applied in military training and repeated head injuries, reflecting the inevitable response experienced by deployed military soldiers.

Some evidence suggests that testosterone levels in men may be low for various reasons, including chronic stress levels, environmental exposures to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) like plastics, and concussions and brain injuries - no matter how mild they may have seemed.

And when we think of chronic stress when we think of adrenal fatigue, cortisol, and low testosterone, due to your body remaining in a sympathetic (fight or flight) alerted response instead of resetting back to parasympathetic (rest and digest). This was the main target in our co-creation of Rack Out with Bravo Actual. That hyperactive state destroys cellular function and testosterone production long term.

Secondarily, neuroendocrine dysfunction is a common consequence of traumatic brain injuries and concussive blasts, as nearly half of all cases result in symptoms of neuroendocrine dysfunction. Compound that with elevated levels of stress and it is no wonder our veterans face these types of medical battles.

Besides the apparent mechanisms of injury: direct mechanical/blunt trauma, and axonal shearing of nervous system mechanisms, and lack of oxygen, Testosterone production may be delayed or reduced in both the long and short term following a TBI as a result of proinflammatory cytokines suppressing systemic cellular functions, leading to failure to produce testosterone.

What are the symptoms of low testosterone:
- Chronic fatigue, insomnia,
- Weight gain, difficulty losing weight,
- Brain fog, forgetfulness,
- Muscle loss, weakness,
- Lack of 'competitiveness',
- Increased depression, irritability,
- Low libido / s*x drive,
- Hair loss, less beard growth,

Lastly, many of these symptoms of neuroendocrine dysfunction overlap with mental health-related symptoms, so understanding clinical differences is essential in differentiating diagnoses.

➡️ Push to get your testosterone levels checked; we’ve seen levels as low as 157 ng/dL.

Hey there, health enthusiasts! 💚

Have you ever heard of oxidative stress? It's a process that can cause damage to your cells and DNA, leading to a range of health issues. But don't worry - your body has a powerful ally in the fight against oxidative stress: glutathione! 🌿

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that is naturally produced by your body. Its primary function is to protect your cells from the harmful effects of oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals and other damaging molecules. 🔥

But here's the thing - as we age, our bodies produce less and less glutathione, leaving us more vulnerable to oxidative stress. This can lead to a range of health issues, including inflammation, joint pain, and even chronic diseases. 😧

The good news is that you can support your body's natural production of glutathione by eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. You can also activate your body to produce more glutathione or other antioxidants to give your body an extra boost. 💪 Ask us how.

So, if you want to protect your cells and stay healthy as you age, make sure you're giving your body the support it needs to produce glutathione and fight oxidative stress! 🙌

Caption: Say NO to Oxidative Stress!

Did you know that oxidative stress is one of the major culprits behind many health issues? When your body produces an excessive amount of free radicals, it creates an imbalance between antioxidants and these unstable molecules. As a result, your body's cells, proteins, and DNA suffer damage that can lead to a range of illnesses, including cancer, heart disease, and even aging.

Don't let oxidative stress take a toll on your health. It's important to incorporate antioxidant-rich foods into your diet, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts, to combat the effects of free radicals. You can also reduce oxidative stress by avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and reducing exposure to pollution and other environmental toxins.

Take care of your body, and it will take care of you. Say NO to oxidative stress today!
