Microplastics Are Already Inside You — Here's the Protocol
About this video
A short clip introducing Brecka’s episode on microplastics in the human body. He defines microplastics as tiny plastic particles that form as larger plastics break down and do not biodegrade, and says ingested particles can irritate and inflame the gut and carry other contaminants into the body. Brecka is explicit that there is currently no scientifically proven way to completely clear microplastics from the body, and frames his recommended approach at topic level as supporting the body’s own elimination systems while reducing ongoing exposure.
