Ep 265 Plastic in Our Brains? New Study Finds Spoon-Sized Particles

Dr. Ron breaks down shocking new research showing microplastics are infiltrating our bodies — even reaching the human brain. He reviews surprising hidden sources (from bottle caps and glass-bottled drinks to farmed fish, tea bags and household dust), explains how tiny plastics cross biological barriers and harm inflammation, hormones and mitochondrial health, and connects the findings to broader industry and regulatory failures.

The episode closes with straightforward, practical advice to reduce exposure: use a quality reverse osmosis or carbon-block water filter, avoid single-use plastics and heating food in plastic, choose wild small fish over farmed fish, vacuum and dust often, opt for natural fibers, and support detox pathways through fiber, antioxidants, glutathione and sweating.
