Microplastics, Hidden Toxins & Healthy Aging: What You Can Do to Protect Your Health with David Roberts Are hidden toxins affecting your health more than you realize? From the water we drink and the food we eat to the cookware we use and the products in our homes, we encounter potential environmental toxins every day. But what does the science really tell us, and what can we do to reduce our exposure? On this episode of *Susan LoPresti Wellness: Mind Body & Soul*, I’m joined by **David Roberts, founder of Mara Labs**, who brings a background in public health and a deeply personal interest in cellular health following his late wife’s cancer diagnosis. Together, we explore the growing conversation around microplastics, nano plastics, and environmental toxins—and their potential implications for inflammation, hormone health, cellular stress, and long-term vitality. In this episode, we discuss: * **Microplastics and nano plastics:** How they enter our bodies through food, water, packaging, and our everyday environment. * **Women’s health and hormones:** What we know about the potential effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, particularly as women navigate perimenopause, menopause, and aging. * **Your kitchen and home:** Practical ways to reduce unnecessary exposure through smarter choices about cookware, food storage, bottled water, and household products. * **Natural detoxification:** How the liver and other systems help the body process and eliminate certain unwanted substances, and how healthy lifestyle habits support these functions. * **Sulforaphane and cellular defense:** Why this plant compound, found in cruciferous vegetables and especially broccoli sprouts, is attracting scientific interest. * **Simple, everyday solutions:** Realistic changes you can make without feeling overwhelmed or trying to eliminate every possible exposure. As women, especially as we move beyond 50, we want to protect our energy, maintain our vitality, and support our health for years to come. Understanding our environment is one piece of that bigger picture. The goal isn't to live in fear. It's to become more informed, make intentional choices, and focus on the changes that are practical and sustainable. **Join us for an empowering conversation about environmental wellness, cellular health, and the small steps you can take today to support healthier aging.** 🎧 **Listen now and discover how greater awareness can help you make more informed choices for your health.** If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who would benefit from this conversation. *Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace individualized medical advice.
