Most cities have yet to realize that swimmable water is the ultimate key to healthier lakes, stronger communities, and a thriving environment. Dive into this eye-opening episode where Mark Mattson, environmental lawyer and founder of Swim Drink Fish Canada, reveals how swimmable waters are transforming city landscapes and health policies across North America. You’ll discover how early experiences on Lake Ontario shaped Mark’s lifelong mission for cleaner waters and why swimming is more than just recreation—it's an essential rallying cry for water protection. We break down the critical role of citizen-led monitoring, the power of real-time data, and how community science is revolutionizing water safety and accountability. Mark shares stories empowering ordinary people to lead the charge for change. We explore the startling persistence of sewage overflows and pollution, and how legal action, combined with community engagement, has already driven billions into restoration projects. Plus, learn why protecting water ecosystems requires much more than regulations—it's about building meaningful relationships with Indigenous nations, fostering cross-border cooperation, and understanding our water’s cultural and spiritual significance. From the Great Lakes to city streets, Mark underscores how water is deeply interconnected with our economy, health, and future resilience. Mark also has a podcast on Soundcloud which you can find here .

Podcast Intro: Most of us believe that eating three meals a day with a few snacks is the typical, healthy way to eat. But that is not always the case. Human bodies and minds developed to function well in circumstances where food was only available intermittently. In the primitive era, when we examine our ancestors' eating habits, we can see that intermittent fasting was common—but eating three meals a day was not. In fact, Dr. Mark Mattson, a well-known neuroscientist, demonstrates that intermittent fasting is not only normal but also beneficial to our health. Intermittent fasting has become increasingly fashionable in recent years, and scientists have been studying its long-term implications on physical health. In this episode, Dr. Mark Mattson joins us to talk about his studies on metabolic switching, calorie restriction, and the cognitive benefits of intermittent fasting. He also provides information for physicians and parents, as well as practical guidance on how to follow an intermittent fasting eating pattern. What you’ll get out of tuning in: What is intermittent fasting? How does intermittent fasting affect the body and brain? What can someone expect to experience when they adopt an intermittent fasting eating pattern? Links/CTA: The Intermittent Fasting Revolution by Mark P. Mattson Diabetes in Control - Mark Mattson Highlights: Obesity impairs cognition and increases the risk for some psychiatric disorders and dementias. Maternal and paternal obesity predisposes offspring to poor cognitive outcomes by epigenetic molecular mechanisms. Neural signaling pathways that evolved to bolster cognition in settings of food insecurity can be stimulated by intermittent fasting and exercise to support the cognitive health of current and future generations. Metabolic switching stimulates neural signaling pathways that bolster cognition.

Many people, if they get in shape, they'll feel really good as long as they keep exercising. If they stop, their mood will start to go down.” “Physical exercise and intermittent fasting have similar effects on the brain and body. Obviously, exercise has a more beneficial effect on your muscles and cardiovascular system. Then, from the standpoint of the brain, those intermittent fasting and exercise, improve learning and memory and protect the brain against dysfunction during aging” “Based on many studies, fasting for 16 hours is enough to engage or stimulate cells to go into this stress resistance, conserve resources mode. So people have breakfast, lunch and dinner and a snack. They're not fasting for 16 hours because the only time they're not eating is when they're sleeping.” Guest Bio: Mark Mattson Mark Mattson is the former Chief of the Laboratory of Neurosciences at the National Institute on Aging and is now on the faculty of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
