## Resource

You might think microplastics are just an environmental nuisance that passes through your body, but the latest tissue studies tell a very different story. As a physician, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down where the science lands, past both the fear-mongering and the dismissiveness. In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses: Why over 58% of patients in a landmark NEJM study had plastic embedded in their arterial plaque and the 4.5x higher risk of heart attack, stroke, and death that came with it How microplastics act as a "Trojan horse," carrying endocrine-disrupting chemicals into your blood, testes, brain, and reproductive tissue Why perimenopause and menopause are an especially vulnerable window for plastic-driven hormone disruption The five low-cost "Lyon Protocol" rules to cut your exposure, starting with never microwaving plastic and letting food cool before you store it This matters because you don't need to overhaul your life or wait twenty years for perfect data to protect your cellular health; you just need the handful of small, automated decisions that move the needle on your metabolic and hormonal baseline.
