#470: Microplastics: The INVISIBLE Threat to Health, Pets & Planet | What You Can Do NOW With Heather Hutchens & Dr. Debra Kimless

Together, we dive into one of the biggest topics of our time—microplastics. With fresh research showing a 74% reduction in blood microplastics in just one month, Heather Hutchens and Dr. Debra Kimless from Pure BioHealth open up about what that means for our health, our pets, and how we think about longevity.

In this eye-opening conversation, we break down how microplastics don’t just clutter our environment—they infiltrate our bodies, disrupt cellular energy, drive chronic inflammation, and even pass through to future generations. We also get real about the hidden sources of plastic exposure all around us, including the products we think are “healthy,” and why our companion animals may be the environmental sentinels we’ve been ignoring.
