Episode notes
Microplastics Attack Cells And Gut
- Microplastics embed in cells and disrupt mitochondria, lowering cellular energy and causing persistent fatigue and brain fog.
- They also damage the gut microbiome and barrier, increasing leaky gut and food sensitivities.
Plastics Disrupt Hormones And Fat Loss
- Microplastics carry endocrine-disrupting chemicals that mimic or block hormones, causing thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive dysfunction.
- The body sequesters plastics in fat, which slows fat loss and creates weight-loss resistance.
Swap Household Plastics Immediately
- Replace plastic water bottles and Tupperware with glass or stainless steel and avoid heating plastic containers.
- Swap plastic cutting boards for wood and avoid synthetic fabrics that shed microfibers into your home.
