In an era of forever chemicals, microplastics, natural disasters, glyphosate, and reverse osmosis, Owen Boyd - inventor behind Toppen Health - shares how to not only protect yourself from water toxicity, but give your body the water it's looking for to function optimally (and what that means).

Many of you will know that I've been immersed in a journey to understand water and its impact on human health for the last few years. With that pursuit and research of thousands of systems came a somber realization of the trade off between contaminant removal and amount of water filtered.

TLDR: I couldn't find a system that could produce healthy water (listen to the episode for what I meant by that) with third party lab testing down to the level I wanted, for a whole house. Really, for more than just a tap at a time. I stumbled across Pureway Water filtration and Toppen Health on an indeed listing just outside of Asheville, NC in Lake Lure, NC. This came AFTER Hurricane Helene devastated the region, and the water, and caused me to leave my home of 8 years for coastal NC to heal.

I immediately called the owners (one is holding those glasses below) and started asking questions and for lab testing, because they were filtering right out of Lake Lure, NC. To give you some perspective, every carcinogen and contaminant I know of is in that lake from oil, gas, propane, plastic, sewage, animal/human remains, manufacturing products, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, etc brought from the entire Asheville region post Hurricane Helene.
