This episode gets into one root cause that rarely gets airtime: plastic. We walk through where it actually ends up in the body, and what the research says about how it gets there in the first place. You'll be surprised at some of the sources!

Fortunately, your body was made to detox! So fear of plastic, or 100% elimination, isn't the theme. This is about understanding what's happening in your environment so you can make doable swaps that lower your exposure over time, starting with the ones that matter most.

We discuss how and why to use a CGM, the optimal ranges, and stories from our patients.
