Mine's custom made. So on my website, I have my water filter system listed out of every component. So if you go to blueprint.bryanjohnson.com and my protocol, I have it listed there. And if you're in the United States, the guy who set it up for me, I have his number and name. If you want to just call him. There's other systems that are better. They're like comparable. They're like $300.

So it's a very common technology. It's easily accessible. But have that in your home is a water filter because microplastics are in water. And so that's why when people, they say like, well, I get my food at a farmer's market, therefore, right? But they don't realize that the water that is coming there to for the farm is like could be filled with microplastics.

So there's just, there's no safe place anywhere for microplastics. Number two is for example, canned soups. In one study, they showed that a person who consumed canned soup for one week increased their levels by 20 fold just in one week. Gigantic, yeah. Also be aware of clothing. So try to use like hemp, cotton, silk, et cetera.

Use a HEPA filter when you're vacuuming because they can be airborne in the house. Don't handle receipts. That has a lot of plastic microplastics. Using cookware that have the stainless steel or cast iron instead of nonstick is really helpful. But those are the kind of the big ones to be aware of.

If you go through your house environment, just say like, where is plastic? You might find you have a plastic cutting board. You might find you have plastic kitchen utensils. You might have plastic plates. So just be plastic aware. And once you have that mindset, you're going to realize that plastic is like everywhere.

So just slowly make progress and trying to replace that with stainless steel, aluminum, things like that.

Yes.
Yes.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you're getting leaching from the plastic. And so I think the average plastic bottle has, I think, 200,000 microplastic particles, something like that. So it's a very large amount. And so generally speaking, so I've just made this rule. Like today, I brought my stainless steel. I just carry this around with me everywhere I go as my primary container for liquid.
