In this solosode, you'll get the latest on microplastics, spinal disc health, and what a heart scan sees that a cholesterol panel misses. I'm breaking down a new seven-day trial that ranked five microplastic-avoidance strategies head-to-head, so you'll know exactly where to focus if you can't overhaul everything at once. Then I get personal about my back: my MRI shows significant degeneration from L1 to S1, yet I have almost zero pain, and I'll explain exactly why. I'm also covering a study of 4,000+ people that found one surprising activity is the only one linked to healthier spinal discs. And when it comes to your heart, I'll walk you through what a coronary CT angiography catches that your cholesterol panel never will, plus the simple thing that appears to protect you even when your plaque is already elevated.
