Your morning coffee ritual might be secretly damaging your gut health.

Those convenient to-go cups, K-cups, and even your plastic coffee maker are leaching microplastics into your daily brew, disrupting your gut microbiome and potentially causing a cascade of health issues from inflammation to hormone disruption.

Dr. Vincent Pedre, gut health specialist and bestselling author, reveals the hidden dangers of microplastics in our everyday lives and how they're wreaking havoc on our digestive system, hormones, and overall wellness.

 

"Coffee is one of the top 10 most pesticide sprayed crops on the planet. So even if you're being good about it and you're avoiding exposure to microplastics, you still have to worry about exposure to pesticides if you are not drinking organic coffee." ~ Dr. Vincent Pedre.
