Let’s have a real talk. You’ve probably heard the term microplastics floating around, and maybe you’ve wondered if they’re something to worry about. Spoiler alert: they are. A lot.
These tiny plastic particles are in places you wouldn’t expect—your food, your water, your clothes, and even the air you breathe. And once they’re in your body, they don’t just leave. They build up, create inflammation, and disrupt everything from your hormones to your brain function.
But don’t panic—we’ve got ways to fight back. 💪 Let’s break it all down.
What Are Microplastics (and Why Should You Care)?
Microplastics are exactly what they sound like—tiny fragments of plastic, often less than 5mm in size. They come from things like:
- Food packaging
- Plastic water bottles
- Cookware
- Clothing fibers
- Beauty and personal care products
And yep—they’re inside you. Studies have found microplastics in human blood, lungs, and even placentas.
Once inside, they can:
- Trigger inflammation
- Disrupt hormones (especially estrogen and thyroid function)
- Impair immune function
- Accumulate in the brain and organs
- Increase risk of chronic illness over time
This isn’t just “woo”—this is science. And it’s time we paid attention.
Where Microplastics Hide (Everyday Sources to Watch Out For)
You might be surprised where they’re sneaking in:
🥤 Plastic water bottles and containers
🍔 Processed and packaged foods
🐟 Seafood (fish eat microplastics too!)
💄 Personal care products (think face scrubs, lotions, and shampoo)
🧴 Cleaning products
👕 Synthetic clothing (like polyester and spandex)
🍽️ Nonstick cookware and plastic utensils
In short: they’re everywhere. Which means it’s not just about avoiding one thing—it’s about reducing your overall exposure and supporting your body’s detox systems.
What You Can Do to Fight Back
Good news: You can take real, effective steps to protect your health—and we’ve stocked A Strong Life with the tools to help you do just that.
Here’s what we recommend:
🍳 Ditch the plastic cookware
Switch to Caraway’s ceramic cookware and utensils — they’re non-toxic, beautiful, and completely free from harmful chemicals like PFAS (aka “forever chemicals”).
💧 Upgrade your bottles
Ditch plastic water bottles for good with:
- The Larq Metal Water Bottle – it cleans itself with UV light
- Our sleek BOLDE Shaker Bottles – perfect for workouts, smoothies, or daily hydration
🧪 Detox with purpose
We’re past the point where “just buying organic” cuts it. There are now over 80,000 chemicals in our environment—and less than 10% have been tested for safety.
That’s why we love the BodyHealth Metal-Free + Chemical Cleanse.
Here’s what it does:
- Helps bind and remove heavy metals and chemical toxins
- Supports liver and kidney detox pathways
- Targets everyday chemical exposures from food, water, beauty products, and more
- Pairs perfectly with fasting or anti-inflammatory protocols
Because let’s be honest: even our baby food, shampoo, and dish soap are full of synthetic chemicals we didn’t sign up for.
🥗 Follow a cleanse-friendly diet
Need help on the food side too? Head over to StrongLifeDiets.com for doctor-designed detox meal plans. These are perfect if you’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, hormonal imbalances, or just want a reset.

Microplastics and chemical toxins aren’t going away any time soon. But you’re not powerless. You can absolutely reduce your exposure, support your body’s detox systems, and protect your long-term health with the right tools.
