Microplastics are microscopic pieces of plastic that become embedded in our body tissues.
Microplastics have been found in every type of human tissue and discharge.
Microplastics are implicated through studies in a number of serious health conditions, including cancer.
We are only able to eliminate certain types of microplastics. We need to learn how to support elimination and also learn how to harmonize with them.
The idea that we can detox from microplastics is a misnomer. Why? Because we are always going to be re-exposed. Microplastics are in the air, the water, the food, in our fabrics, our furniture, and many of our common household objects.
This is why we must learn how to:
minimize microplastic exposure
learn how to clear microplastics from our air & water
swap out contaminating objects from our homes with natural materials
support our body's natural elimination processes with gentle herbal support
create resiliency in our body through circadian alignment and a strong immune system

Class starts with discussing what microplastics are, where they are found in the body, what they do in the body, and why that's a problem. I will be sharing multiple studies that confirm the dangers of microplastics. And, we will find out what the world's top scientists say about what kinds of plastic to avoid and where it's found most frequently in your home.
