Unseen Invaders: How Microplastics and Endocrine Disruptors Invade Our Health

  • Summary

  • The average person consumes about 52,000 microplastic particles through food and water and inhales another 74,000 particles yearly. These tiny particles, less than 5 millimeters in size, have infiltrated nearly every aspect of our environment, but the dangers of microplastics extend far beyond their environmental impact.

    Today’s episode delves into the hidden dangers of ingesting microplastics and their link to endocrine disruptors—chemicals that interfere with your body’s hormone systems. These disruptors, commonly found in plastics, cosmetics, and even our food supply, can mimic or block hormones, leading to severe health issues, including infertility, hormonal imbalances, and even certain types of cancer.


    Join the conversation as we explore the latest research on how microplastics accumulate in human tissues and their alarming health consequences. We’ll also discuss practical steps to reduce exposure to these harmful toxins and protect your health.


    In this episode, you'll learn:

    - Introduction to microplastics and endocrine disruptors

    - Health implications of microplastics

    - The impact of microplastics on infertility and hormonal imbalance

    - Broader health concerns of microplastics

    - Practical steps to reduce exposure

    - Why advocating for broader change is crucial
