Is Your Bottled Water Giving You Brain Fog? (Spoiler: Maybe!) - Funny Medicine Podcast Ep. on Microplastics Welcome back to Funny Medicine Podcast.

This week, Dr. Yvy and Julz are bravely tackling the invisible menace lurking in your lunchbox, your tap water, and possibly even your organic kale smoothie: microplastics! 😱

In "Unveiling the Hidden Dangers: Microplastics in Our Daily Lives," we reluctantly drag ourselves into the murky depths of plastic pollution. Learn all about these teeny-tiny terrors, from their fascinating origin story (spoiler: it involves us) to their uncanny ability to be literally everywhere – oceans, soil, and yes, your precious bodily fluids.

We're not kidding, folks. We're talking plastic toxicity, hormone disruption, chronic inflammation, and maybe even neural toxicity! Is that brain fog actually plastic fog? Probably! But don't worry, we'll break down the complex science with our signature blend of humor and mild panic.

In this episode, you'll reluctantly learn about: The shocking history of plastics and how we got ourselves into this sticky situation. Types of plastics and why some are basically tiny time bombs for your health. Where microplastics in the environment are hiding (hint: everywhere you look and some places you really, really don't).

The terrifying **health risks of microplastics – because ignorance is not bliss when it comes to microscopic plastic shards invading your system. BPA and plastic toxicity – your old "BPA-free" water bottle might be laughing at you right now. How microplastics enter the body – prepare to be slightly disgusted. Health problems linked to microplastics* – a fun list of ailments to add to your hypochondria! The depressing *prevalence of microplastics in humans** – you are not special, you have plastic in you. Actually reducing microplastic exposure – practical tips that might slightly help, probably. The vague and uncertain future of medicine and microplastics – optimism is for suckers! The latest depressing research and news on microplastics – because good news is so overrated.

Tune in for the (slightly panicked) conversation that will make you question every sip of water and bite of food you consume! We promise to make learning about the impending plastic apocalypse almost* enjoyable.
