Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in human history, and it’s suddenly back in the headlines. A landmark safety paper relied on by regulators for decades was recently retracted after evidence revealed it had been ghostwritten by Monsanto employees. Meanwhile, lawsuits continue, research is evolving, and many physicians are beginning to question how this chemical may be affecting the gut microbiome, immune system, and long-term health.

In this episode, Dr. Michael Blahut explores the glyphosate controversy, the science behind how it works, why it may disrupt gut bacteria, and what individuals can do to reduce exposure.

This episode also explains how glyphosate exposure can be measured through urine testing and why restoring gut terrain may be one of the most important steps in protecting health.

For the full practical guide — including how to test for glyphosate and strategies to support detoxification — read the complete Substack article linked below.
