Whole Foods Isn't Enough: How Microplastics Infected Our Lives (What to Do About It) | Daniel Powers

You’ve heard me talk a lot about food. Nose-to-tail, organ meats, ancestral living. But the truth is, we’re now dealing with stuff our ancestors never had to face. Microplastics are in our water, in our food, even in our blood. And that means we need to bring in new tools.

Dan Powers is the founder of Utzy Naturals. He’s a husband, a father of five, and someone who’s always believed in the power of whole foods, movement, sleep, and doing things right. But when he read a study in the New England Journal of Medicine linking microplastics in the blood to cardiovascular issues, something shifted. He went deep into the research and started building a product to help support the body’s detox process.

We talk about what these tiny plastic particles are, how they’re getting into our systems, and what they’re doing once they’re in there. And more importantly, we talk about what we can actually do about it, without fear, stress, or chasing perfection.

Key Takeaways
