Were you of the generation that was going to like the body shop?

What's it called?

Oh, Bath and Body Works.

Bath and Body Works at the mall?

the soy formula it's like I look back and I'm like again why didn't somebody tell my mom yeah we just didn't know just did it right we just didn't know one other thing about the laundry room that I've also learned is that you know all uh dryers have that capture section where they're getting lint well if you're using a lot of synthetic clothing which is one of the items on the list you

you have a shit ton of microplastics inside of that.

And then we go in without a mask, without anything else, without ventilation often inside the laundry room.

And you're just peeling all that stuff out and you're breathing in a ton of microplastics.

microplastic particles nanoplastics that are in the air that are all byproducts of these you know athleisure and other things that look there's a lot of really great things about them and they look cool and other things like that and there's a lot of great companies that are trying to do their best in the space but because they become so ubiquitous that's another form of exposure that we've gotten that's one of your categories do you want to talk about

And it can feel like a lot in the beginning when people are navigating, but really going back to our original theme that we started the podcast with is that it's actually making a list of things that you don't have to buy anymore.

Yeah.

Dryer sheets are a perfect example.

You don't need those softeners.

You don't need those things.

And when you start to use some of these cleaner brands, you realize that, hey, this is actually a great way to save money instead of stocking up on all this stuff that's making you and your family, you know, potentially more likely to experience disease.

Yes.

No.

You talked about glass.

We featured a study in our newsletter this week, and it was one of the first of its kind studies showing that people were put on a very specific protocol of a diet and reducing takeaway in plastic and methodically reducing the amount of plastic that was inside of their kitchen and that they measured their blood work before and after for all these PFAS chemicals, right?

And these plasticizers, they all have crazy names.
