The Effects of Microplastics on Your Health & How to Reduce Them

In this episode, I explain what microplastics are, their prevalence
in the human body and environment, and their common sources, as
well as their potential negative health impacts. I provide
practical strategies for limiting exposure to microplastics,
nanoplastics, and endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol-A (BPA),
bisphenol-S (BPS), phthalates, and PFAS ("forever chemicals").
Additionally, I discuss methods to enhance the body's
detoxification and excretion of microplastics. By the end of this
episode, you will have a clear understanding of the modern science
of microplastics and their impact on human biology, along with
actionable steps to minimize exposure and accumulation in the brain
and body. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com. Use Ask
