383: Endocrine Disruptors, PFAS & Hidden Weight Gain | Leonardo Trasande | Leonardo Trasande
Wednesday, 29 April, 2026
Microplastics are now being found in the brain, blood, placenta, and beyond, and scientists are still uncovering what that means for your health. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Leo to break down the latest research on microplastics, PFAS, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals, how they impact metabolism, hormones, and long-term disease risk, and what actually works when it comes to reducing exposure. They cut through the fear and focus on practical, accessible steps you can take right now, from your kitchen to your daily habits, without overwhelm. If you’ve ever wondered how plastics affect your body, your weight, or your kids’ health, this is the conversation you need to hear. → Leave Us A Voice Message!
