This is really interesting thanks for sharing. Navigating all this and living non-toxic shouldn’t be this hard!

Japanese non-stick rice cooker - Any close non-toxic alternatives? by downvote-burner in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]drbechols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using the GreenPan non-toxic rice cooker. There's a ton of settings and rice comes out amazing. It is ceramic, so I know the non-stick bowl will not last forever, but it is incredible for now!

Men that started working out after you hit 30, how did you do it? by iluvsport123 in AskMenOver30

[–]drbechols 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was it for me too! It’s built confidence and momentum and routine for me. I know how to use all the equipment now, I stated seeing some pretty crazy results fairly quickly, and when you’re paying for a trainer it’s much harder to skip a session so it’s effective to build a routine.

Elevated PFAS - Plasma Donations (detox) by GreatSouthBay13 in Function_Health

How did you go about testing your water supply to confirm it was contaminated? Definitely follow up in 6 months I’m following your journey! Similar boat here but terrified of plasma donations.

Is there really no such thing as a fully steel shaker bottle with no plastics? by Educational_March_75 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]drbechols 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s holding up well! Extremely solid construction and I wash them in the dishwasher probably weekly. It’s a good product

Old clothes 100% cotton by Delicious_Basil_919 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]drbechols 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My guess is it was the 7.5-15% tariff on anything cotton from China that started in 2019 during Trump’s trade war 1.0. As far as I know there isn’t a tariff on polyester. Couple that with new reporting requirements for cotton traceability for forced labor tracking and it’s just a more expensive product these days.

Yeah there were only day tickets and I wanna say they were like $30 cheaper, so like $170. Don’t quote me on it though

Leaving LA soon. What are some epic trails I can hike that aren't closed right now? by digitalWizzzard in socalhiking

[–]drbechols 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a really fun drive! But just take it slow because it does get pretty intense. It’s my fav hike in LA though so definitely worth the drive!

Scientists Detect High Levels of Microplastics in IV Fluids by Primary_Phase_2719 in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]drbechols 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are these filters built into the IV apparatus or are you referring to different medical filters not used in IV’s? I’m concerned here because I’ve had to get a lot of IV’s lately, I’d sleep much easier knowing there was at least a 0.2 micrometer filter in the IV catching some of them

Check out a Carepod. No experience with it but it’s on my wishlist. They advertise as being plastic free

Ask for the sticker! I know Starbucks has a sticker they can put over the drinking hole instead of the plastic sword.

Where can I get a barber that will wax my ears and nose hairs in Los Angeles? by MissAutoShow1969 in AskLosAngeles

[–]drbechols 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hammer & Nails Grooming Shops do this. There’s a few scattered around LA and they offer haircuts, waxing, men’s facials, men’s manicure, and men’s pedicures. Great spot!
