You might think microplastics are an ocean problem, but research suggests you're carrying roughly a credit card's worth of plastic inside your body right now, circulating through your bloodstream and settling into your organs, your brain, and even reproductive tissue.

And since plastic doesn't biodegrade, it ends up accumulating in the environment and everyday items. Once ingested, these microplastics can cause physical irritation and inflammation in the GI tract. This can potentially lead to chemical toxicity, since these particles actually carry other absorbed contaminants right into the body. Right now, there's no scientifically proven way to completely clear microplastics from the body, but that doesn't mean that you're powerless. What the current research does show is that the body already possesses highly sophisticated detoxification and elimination systems. Implementing certain lifestyle interventions may help reduce the total burden while limiting ongoing exposure. So here's the protocol I would recommend. Step one. [upbeat music] Ultimate Human. Right now, you have a credit card's worth of microplastics inside your body circulating through your bloodstream, accumulating in your organs, even crossing into the brain.
