Episode Details

What if the plastic in your clothes, water, and air is already inside your brain and driving disease without you knowing it? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Miles Nichols, a functional medicine doctor, to break down one of the most urgent health threats of our time. We discuss how plastics, nanoplastics, and chemical exposures are accumulating in our bodies and what that means for long-term health, inflammation, and disease risk.

We look into studies linking higher microplastic load to dementia, cardiovascular disease, infertility, and neuroinflammation, and what this means for the rising rates of chronic illness today. Dr. Miles explains advanced testing, like transcriptomics, and how gene expression patterns can reveal early signs of conditions like Parkinson’s long before symptoms appear.

Finally, we talk about practical solutions to reduce exposure and lower the overall toxic burden. This episode is empowering. The goal isn’t perfection, but awareness and consistent reduction of exposure.

“Oftentimes, the body starts to naturally heal when the conditions are right for that. And so a lot of the work in the clinic is to make sure that we're reducing enough of the obstacles that prevent the body from doing what it naturally does so well."
