About this episode

Dr. Anthony Balduzzi discusses the health risks of microplastics and nanoplastics, their sources, and how to reduce exposure.

In Episode 289 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi takes a deep dive into one of the most urgent and underappreciated health threats of our time: microplastics and nanoplastics. While most people know to avoid drinking from single-use plastic bottles, this episode goes far beyond the obvious.
