Listen Later

This week on Green Queens, Imogen and Abbie sit down with Dr. Ravina, a GP and womenโ€™s health specialist, to unpack the science behind microplastics and what it actually means for your body.


After the buzz around ย @Netflixย  's The Plastic Detox, we wanted answers beyond the headlines.


Dr. Ravina breaks down how chemicals like BPA and phthalates can mimic hormones in the body, why fertility conversations need to include men too, and how small, realistic changes can make a meaningful difference.
