In this episode of Rethink My Health Radio, Dr. Gez Agolli and the team uncover one of the most alarming and rapidly growing health concerns of our time — microplastics.
These tiny plastic particles are no longer just an environmental issue. They are now being found in our water, food, air — and even inside the human body. From blood to organs, emerging research is revealing just how widespread this exposure has become.
But what does this actually mean for your health?
In this conversation, we break down how microplastics enter the body, how they interact with our cells, and why they may be contributing to inflammation, hormone disruption, immune dysfunction, and chronic disease. You’ll also learn why this issue is becoming more urgent — and what steps you can take to reduce your exposure and support your body’s natural detoxification processes.
This episode challenges the way we think about everyday exposures and highlights the hidden impact of modern living on long-term health.
