Dr. Jill is joined by internationally respected environmental medicine expert Dr. Lynn Patrick for a deep, science-based discussion on how microplastics are quietly changing human biology\u2014from the gut to the brain to the cardiovascular system. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Jill Carnahan and Dr. Patrick explore why microplastics may pose an even greater long-term risk than PFAS and other \u201cforever chemicals.\u201d You\u2019ll learn how **nanoplastics\u2014now responsible for up to 90% of exposure\u2014**are small enough to cross the gut lining, lungs, blood-brain barrier, and even the placenta, accumulating in tissues with no effective exit pathway. Key topics include: \u2460 Why microplastics act as \u201cTrojan horses\u201d for pesticides, heavy metals, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals \u2461 Research linking microplastics to heart disease, dementia, IBD, and colorectal cancer \u2462 The alarming rise of plastic particles found in human brain tissue \u2463 How everyday items\u2014bottled water, food packaging, and tea bags\u2014drive exposure \u2464 Why microplastics overwhelm detox pathways and resist normal elimination \u2465 Emerging strategies for exposure reduction, including water filtration, avoidance, and the evolving role of plasmapheresis \u21e8 Dr. Patrick also shares decades of clinical insight into environmental toxicology and explains why awareness\u2014not fear\u2014is the first step toward protection in a plastic-saturated world. \u2764\ufe0f If you care about long-term brain health, cardiovascular health, gut integrity, and environmental medicine, this episode offers critical knowledge and practical strategies to reduce risk and protect resilience. \u2728 Like, subscribe, and share to help others understand the hidden exposures shaping modern health. \ud83d\udc68\u200d\u2695\ufe0f Dr. Lynn Patrick Lyn Patrick, ND, is a naturopathic physician with nearly 40 years of clinical experience.
