Microplastics are everywhere — and they’re silently harming your body. In the latest episode of Dr. Jockers’ Functional Nutrition Podcast, we dive into the shocking reality of microplastics in our everyday lives and how they are impacting our health in ways we never imagined.
From hormonal imbalances to chronic conditions like heart disease, brain degeneration, and even infertility, these tiny particles are wreaking havoc on our bodies.
The Hidden Dangers Lurking in Your Food, Water, and Air
Did you know that the average person consumes a credit card worth of microplastics every single week? These particles are so small they can cross the blood-brain barrier, causing neurological issues, and they’ve been found in everything from our food and water to the air we breathe.
I will explain how these particles poison our mitochondria, disrupt fat burning, and contribute to conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
How to Detox Microplastics and Protect Your Health
In this episode, I reveal practical ways to detox microplastics from your body. Learn about the best strategies for reducing exposure, from switching to glass and stainless-steel containers to using detox binders like activated charcoal and zeolite.
Plus, discover simple lifestyle changes, including how to support your liver and sweat out toxins, to help your body eliminate microplastics and restore balance.
