Hey everybody thanks for watching and hope this conversation delivers you value.

Conversation matters! Grateful for your attention. -Rich
I’ve been going down the no plastic rabbit hole. It’s amazing how hard it is. Glass jars in pantry. Buy food in bulk and at farmers markets. Cast iron cooking with wood or metal utensils. Natural cleaners in glass. Whole house water filters….it goes on and on.
One of the best scientists in the field. Every statement that comes out of her mouth, on this topics, is science-backed. Looking forward to watching this episode. Thank you! ❤
Thank you for the podcast! I learned about microplastics a few months ago and have been making ongoing changes to reduce my exposure since. What makes me sad is that so many people I mention these changes too just shrug off the problem of plastic. I understand it's overwhelming, but especially now people my age are having children I wish they would learn about it and at the least, safeguard their childrens environments (i say this because I got chronically ill at 27 after being fed processed food my whole childhood, having no idea of the effects). Alas, i think people really underestimate what I believe is the health crisis of mine and the next generations.
@@rwielatz I did my own broccoli sprouting for like 3 months because of her. Even combined it with mustard seeds. Better sulforaphane absorption. I could not detect any effects. I ate quite alot too. Also did some blood tests, nothing changed. I still eat normal broccoli every now and then. But sprouting seems to be a waste of time for me.
@@rwielatz it’s more of a long term health thing than anything immediately noticeable but when I was on it daily I definitely noticed my skin and hair looked healthier, less inflammation (I workout a lot). I used BROQ brand but they just changed their formula recently from active sulforaphane to precursors that convert in the intestines, and I’m not sure if I believe their claims that it’s as bioavailable as the pure sulforaphane was.
Haven't gotten to the microplastics portion yet but it's such a depressing topic. Seems like you could go all in on a healthy diet and getting the right exercise....but the microplastics are like impossible to avoid....and are doing no favors for our health.
Impossible to avoid entirely, yes, but we can minimize exposures by ditching synthetic clothing, using stainless steel and glass vessels for food storage, cooking from scratch and avoiding ultraprocessed food. Sleeping on cotton sheets and having wood floors and wool/cotton rugs. Every little change helps.
I love a good Rich Roll episode but man, sometimes they're so long. Overall health is an important topic, and I understand it is, as acknowledged at the start, a very broad topic, but still - nearly three hours of content is difficult to absorb! Time to get on the bike for an endurance ride, I guess? :)
I get that Juliet but my preference is to be thorough and to create conversations that are evergreen - so it will always be here if / when you might find the depth of interest.
good example on if you're an expert on one thing doesnt mean you're an expert on everything. she does deep dive on exercise, but does that mean that she is an expert on microplatics?
I think it's very clear we shouldn't be happily shovelling microplastics into our bodies. It's the same as processed food, by the time the evidence comes out you have rising chronic illness, ADHD, and cancer in your 20s and 30s. And still, the information on it doesn't reach enough people because it's inconvenient. Do people need to die from something to realise maybe humans need to be eating natural whole foods? Or that that food probably shouldn't have plastic in it? We are skin and blood, not made of plastic, of course it's not good for you.
This theory is from the woman who only looks at fitness, and sells fitness. You can do BOTH fitness and exercise but if she said this she would create a meat/no meat clash.
Wow Rich. Long time listener. You've reached a new low of inviting pseudoscience experts on the show. Will you invite anyone who's popular now? I have trusted you to curate good quality content but this is going poorly now.
Hi Jeff - thanks for your perspective and thank you for being a long-time listener. Per my introductory remarks in this podcast, this is not Rhonda's first appearance on the show. She was a guest 9 years back in 2016 (episode 209 which is like almost 700 episodes ago) so I've followed her work for quite some time, so quite honestly my decision to invite her back on the show has nothing to do with your presumption of popularity. Instead, it was prompted by recently reconnecting with her at a recent Google Zeitgeist conference we both attended, where she was part of an excellent panel discussion on longevity science that included Dr. Valter Longo and Peter Diamandis (both of whom have been on the podcast multiple times). Curious to learn what statements in this conversation you would consider to be pseudoscience? Anyway and either way, feedback always appreciated.

It's definitely overwhelming - we discuss this as well as the hierarchy of harm so that we don't become paralyzed by the problem.
Rich, please get Dr Andrea Love on. She'll put most of your worries to rest. Her debunking psuedo science posts have been enlightening.
Thanks DuPont!
This woman is showing up everywhere on my phone . Tic Tok you tube. I would not be surprised if she showed up in my house at some point
😂
Rhonda! The oracle! We love you!
great to have her back after 9 years:)

Looking forward for many insights from Dr Rhonda for overall health, thank you Rich for this conversation 👍❤️

Dr. Patrick is a goldmine of the most valuable information about healthspan and lifespan! ❤
it's crazy how she can talk for hours about this stuff without any notes or anything
Tire dust is a huge source of plastics if you live in a densely populated area or close to a highway
thanks a lot
She’s the reason I’m still taking sulforaphane years later.
Have you noticed positive effects after taking sulforaphane? Do you get it through Mara labs? Thanks for any info.

@ thank you. I tried sprouting too but didn’t have much luck.

Taking? Just eat some broccoli.
You can't outrun a bad diet
Okay, so who do we sue?
Did they talk about silicone? Is it ok? Can you microwave it?
28:05 lmao
diet
yes

Those data are at best inconclusive. Stop worrying over nothing.

Heard it all before. I support recycling.

Sounds like chemophobia to me, at least in part. I don't think the science on microplastics is conclusive at all.
I think it's very clear we shouldn't be happily shovelling microplastics into our bodies. It's the same as processed food, by the time the evidence comes out you have rising chronic illness, ADHD, and cancer in your 20s and 30s.

Rich, get Dr Andrea Love on. Let's debunk popular puesdoscience. That was not directed to Ms Patrick.
