Microplastics are everywhere — in our water, food, and even our bodies. But what do they actually mean for your health?

In this episode, we cut through the fear and focus on what matters. You’ll learn how microplastics affect hormones, inflammation, and gut health, why some people feel the impact more than others, and how functional medicine approaches exposure realistically — not obsessively.

Most importantly, we cover simple daily habits that help your body process modern environmental stressors so you can protect your health without trying to live in a bubble.
