[00:00:00] Narrator: How would you like to improve your health and keep your family safe? You are listening to the Healthy Home Hacks podcast where we firmly believe enjoying optimal health shouldn't be a luxury. Healthy home. Authorities and husband and wife team, Ron and Lisa. We'll help you create a home environment that will level up your health.

It's time to hear from the expert, listen in on honest conversations, and gain the best tips and advice. If you are ready to dive in and improve your wellbeing and increase your energy, you are in the right place. Alright, here are your hosts, bow Biologists, authors, media Darlings, vicarious Vegans, and avocado aficionados, Ron and Lisa Beres.

[00:00:48] Ron Beres: Hey everyone and welcome back to the Healthy Home Hacks Show. I'm Ron, and with me as always, is my co-host Lisa? Yes.

[00:00:58] Lisa Beres: Yes. And today we are diving into something that's literally inside All of us right now get this. According to recent research, we're each consuming about 12 plastic shopping bags worth of microplastics every single year.

[00:01:13] Ron Beres: What. 12 shopping bags. That can't be right, Lisa. No way.

[00:01:18] Lisa Beres: Well, Ron, it gets worse. The World Wildlife Fund found that we're eating roughly a credit card's worth of plastic every single week.

[00:01:28] Ron Beres: This is absolutely mind blowing, and it's not just in our food, these microscopic. Pieces of plastic are everywhere in our water, the air we breathe, our clothes, cosmetics, basically everything we interact with daily.

[00:01:45] Lisa Beres: And here's the really scary part. Scientists have identified over 3,600 different chemicals from food packaging and storage containers. In human blood samples we're talking about forever, chemicals, carcinogens, and hormone disruptors. Recent studies even found 200 compounds in food packaging that are linked to breast cancer.

[00:02:08] Ron Beres: This is seriously concerning stuff, but don't worry. Listeners, we've got you covered today. We're joined by our special guest. Teri Lynn who's gonna break down exactly what we can do about this and will even share how you can test your body. For microplastics, stay with us. This is one episode you are not gonna wanna miss.

[00:02:30] Lisa Beres: Teri is the resident health coach at Human Consciousness Support. She's a certified holistic health consultant finishing coursework with the Institute for the Psychology of Eating for Mind Body Nutrition. Teri's work specializes in optimizing the body's self-healing design by reaching mind, body, and spirit homeostasis instead of treating symptoms

[00:02:53] Ron Beres: with over 20 years in the health and fitness field.

Teri has seen firsthand the incredible improvements that can happen when you embrace a holistic approach. Teri holds a degree and has spent 25 years in communication access. Without further ado, welcome to the show. Teri Lynn? Yes,

[00:03:13] Lisa Beres: woo. That was quite the introduction. Thank you so much. WelcomeTeriry.

Thank you for joining us today. So let's just dive right into this awesome topic. It's everywhere. You can't read an article on the internet today without hearing about microplastics. So just like getting back to basics, how do these microplastics infiltrate our bodies?

[00:03:34] Teri Lynn: They're everywhere. Like you said.

Let's first define what a microplastic is because it's, it depends on the size. Technically, a microplastic is below five millimeters in size. Now the five millimeters is actually quite a large piece, and you might think, well, I would know if I ate something that big, but that's just the largest size. So we can go down to a nano level size, and if you're talking about a nano level size that's under micron, nano is 1000000000th of a meter, and so it's a very, very, very, very tiny that can actually get into your cells.

So five millimeters. Five millimeters is about the width of a size of a paperclip. And so. Those are your polyethylenes, polypropylenes. They've been found all over the world from the Antarctic, the bottom of the ocean, even in clouds. So you're not gonna be able to get away from them. They're coming, they're in the air, they're in the food, they're in the water for sure.

Uh, so it's definitely a problem that affects

[00:04:28] Lisa Beres: everyone. Right? Animals too, right? The wildlife. That's crazy. So. Yeah, that's a good point. 'cause you know, people probably think, well, I'd see the plastics right in my water even, but they're invisible at that size.

[00:04:42] Teri Lynn: Yeah. Even water bottles, if you think about those water bottles, especially the ones you can crush really easily, yeah.

Those are going to decompose even faster. And so if you've got water sitting in a water bottle. You don't know how long it's been sitting there on the shelf and in transit. What you have is plastic tea.

[00:04:58] Lisa Beres: Ooh. Oh, oh wow. I never described that way. The heat, the heat speeds up the leaching. Correct. The heat,

[00:05:03] Teri Lynn: exactly.

The heat will speed

[00:05:04] Lisa Beres: up the leaching. So if you're in Arizona like yourself and you're drinking out of plastic water bottles, you know, which you're not. I'm not, we know you're not doing it. But I did it when I, I grew up in Arizona and, oh good lord. Yeah. I drank plastic water all the time. Plastic water bottles.

Yeah, so when we're talking about microplastics, nanoplastics, can you kind of shed light on that? Is that what you just really described? That's what I

[00:05:28] Teri Lynn: just described, so, okay. All of your kind of manmade material that is of the plastic nature, polyethylene, polypropylene, there's a lot of different kinds of it, and it's everywhere.

It's in food containers, it's in the water bottles. I really urge people don't even drink water out of those water bottles. That's not the not smart thing to do. It's not worth it. Yeah, no. It's literally plastic tea because water wants to absorb things. If you know how to make tea, you put a tea bag in some water and you want that process to happen, well, what do you think is gonna happen if you're using plastic container and you're drinking water out of it?

Especially, like I said, those ones that are very thin. Yeah, those are gonna tend to the PET,

[00:06:02] Lisa Beres: the polyethylene ate, which is the number one, right? So the triangles on the bottom tell us what the plastic is, the triangle with the number inside, and those single use are number one, usually correct. Yeah. Okay.

So how do they get into our body? Can they cross the blood brain barrier? These plastic? Yeah.

[00:06:20] Teri Lynn: Okay. They can, depending on the size. So the small size allows them to breach cell barriers, and that's bad news. So that raises concerns over long-term impacts to health, including accumulation in organs interference and cellular processes.

So it really just kind of becomes part of your body and that's not something that you want to become part of your body. They're finding microplastics in almost every part of the body, the lungs, the stomach, it affects the cardiovascular system. Wow. Obviously the bloodstream, and it has impacts like the cardiovascular system, blood clotting, risks of that inflammation.

Obviously that would be an easy one to understand. Heart disease. So the microplastics. Carry toxic chemical additives too, and that's what makes 'em plastic. Right? So that would contribute to a systemic inflammation. People are walking around with inflammation almost every day. Almost everybody now has it, right?

Yes. It's such,

[00:07:13] Lisa Beres: yeah. Chronic, all chronic illness, right? Stemming from that.

[00:07:17] Teri Lynn: Yeah. Well, well inflammation is always a end result of any kind of disease, but the cause of it, it could be various things. So, but the nanoplastics can be found in even hygiene products, makeup, things like that. So. Because they're nano sizing it now because they have the ability to nano size it.

It's able to break through any possible barrier in your body and it get inside the cell. Wow. I'm not saying that it does in every case I'm saying that it has a possibility to do that. Yeah,

[00:07:44] Lisa Beres: yeah. And gosh, it's crazy, this stuff. It's always the wild, wild west with these chemicals like, Hey, let's just create the chemicals and shove 'em out there and everyone will adjust it, and then we'll deal with legislation later.

Right? Because I'm sure there's groups trying to. Span these nanoplastics, what would a nanoplastic be used in? Like something like makeup. Something that Where it needs to be small. Yeah. Yeah. It needs to absorb to the skin,

[00:08:06] Teri Lynn: let's say. And also if you're, we use the example of the water bottle, so if you're taking that example, you're not gonna get chunks of microplastic, even though micron is very, very tiny.

But we're talking about water that is going to just leach out those very, very small particles. Also in the air for sure. They're nano sized, can't see them, you know, so we toxify ourselves two main ways through what we're eating, anything that goes, we swallow and our breath. So we can't stop breathing.

And so everything's in the air. And then when we talk about this a little bit later, I'm gonna mention a few things of how we can clean up our own atmosphere, uh, in our own homes. 'cause you're gonna breathe that in. So those are the two main ways that you want to watch.

[00:08:50] Lisa Beres: So guys, listeners, don't eat or breathe and you'll be good.

[00:08:53] Teri Lynn: No

[00:08:53] Ron Beres: kidding. No, we, we

[00:08:54] Lisa Beres: talked a lot. Basically, we live in a bubble.

[00:08:57] Ron Beres: We talked a lot about like plastics when they heat up and obviously they leach into the food or the water that's there. And I'm guessing I know the answer to this. What about those plastic bags that hold our frozen vegetables? Our food?

Yeah. Everything's plastic

[00:09:09] Lisa Beres: at the grocery store. Now,

[00:09:10] Ron Beres: I know it needs heat to break down, but is it breaking down even when it's below freezing?

[00:09:14] Teri Lynn: Not so much that you're gonna have exposure to it, for sure, but it's the heat that is the worst for it. So any, obviously you don't wanna cook with those, especially the black plastic

[00:09:23] Lisa Beres: Yes.

Stuff. Those are the worst. Those are the worst. I just wrote a newsletter on that and 'cause that was like all over the news and then they were like, wait. And the reason is because of the recycled electronics. If you just saw the headline and didn't dive deep listeners, it's literally the black plastics.

'cause those are made from the recycled electronics and those contain a lot of like heavy metals and flame retardants, right? And very toxic chemicals that you're now cooking with or storing your food in or whatever.

[00:09:52] Ron Beres: Yeah. Okay. Well now that we're breathing and, and eating these, uh, plastics, right? What are the potential risks to long-term health, including hormonal imbalances and inflammation?

[00:10:04] Teri Lynn: So whenever you have elements in your body that are not natural, then your body is not gonna be able to function correctly. And we are one system, we are one holistic system. So the allopathic community, the medical doctors like to compartmentalize our bodies. If they don't, bodies don't really work that way.

We do have some systems that run everywhere, and one of those systems is the interstitial fluid, and that is actually an organ, and the interstitium is, goes everywhere. That is what bathes every cell. That water, that ocean body, ocean, you might say, will bathe every single cell. And that is going to bring nutrients and carry things away from everywhere in the body.

People think the blood system, they not the biggest note. That's 20% of the fluids in the body, so interstitial fluid is 80%.

[00:10:49] Lisa Beres: Oh, wow. Is that the water in our body or is no.

[00:10:52] Teri Lynn: Yeah. Could be considered the water in your body. Okay. I mean, there's, there's water and blood too. Water's everywhere. But that specific system is gonna encompass 80% of the fluids in your body, so Oh, very interesting.

[00:11:02] Lisa Beres: Yeah. Yeah. So how is this all affecting hormones? Because we know that a lot of these plastics have endocrine disrupting chemicals in them.

[00:11:10] Teri Lynn: So I wouldn't say it's a necessarily a direct effect. So again, we have to look at the body as a whole. The liver is responsible for homeowner production. For the most part.

It is gonna be your command central on making all kinds of goodies. It's the only detoxification organ in the body as well. It's the only organ that can actually detox. The rest is just cleansing. Your body is a cleansing system and it, it elimination pathways and all those are all the cleansing systems.

The liver is command central for detoxification. So when your liver isn't functioning correctly, let's say in this case we're talking about microplastics, kind of gunged up with that, then it's overwork. It can't do what it's supposed to do. It can't make the hormone, it can't balance all the elements of salt, all kinds of things.

So then you have a hormonal problem and then you think it's your, as women, you might think, well, what's wrong with my ovaries? Or, you know, man, what's wrong with my prostate? You know? Well that's, that's maybe the downline effect. It's not necessarily the cause of it, so that organ is being affected for sure, but it's already been poisoned and other organs that are supposed to take care of those downline organs have already been poisoned.

Yes. So important. Yeah, you just got to look at it more as a whole system approach. People that have hormonal issues, uh, women with PCOS, thyroid issues, just all kinds of things. Endometriosis. Yeah. Okay. There you go too. Certainly a lot of causes could be for these things. It's not just, you know, one causal, we we're focusing on this toxicity, the poisoning, and specifically microplastics, plastics don't belong in your body.

Everybody knows that. And so those are gonna get stuck and those are gonna wanna take the place, gonna try to take the place of where nutrients are supposed to be, especially minerals. And if you've got something there, for lack of a better way to explain something in the way kind of, then your mineral is not able to get into that spot to do the job that it's supposed to do.

And so once you re start removing those elements, the ones that aren't supposed to be there now, the healthy nutrients and healthy minerals especially can be in that spot. People are like, well, all of a sudden I feel better. And you know, so that's just like a basic detox program. That is just geared towards the whole system.

It's systemic,

[00:13:14] Lisa Beres: right.

[00:13:15] Teri Lynn: You know, detox.

[00:13:16] Lisa Beres: Yeah. Can reverse osmosis water filtration systems get rid of these nanoplastics, or are they too small? So reverse

[00:13:23] Teri Lynn: osmosis is like distilled water. So it's, it's considered a hungry water. That water is pretty much dead, but it can be used as a tool. So that kind of water, like the suck up things, it likes to track things to it because water is supposed to have certain, like salinity, a certain amount of minerals.

It just, it wants to be healthy to and also move. To have those. So if you're drinking a reverse osmosis, it's a really good idea actually for your house to shower with that kind of water. For sure. And so we don't have any hard data to know exactly how much just a clean water can do and cannot take a nano, as opposed to, you know, just a micron size.

But your body knows how to cleanse it knows what to do if you give it the raw materials and it's not blocked and bombarded. So we do have testing that shows that people are. Within a narrow range, but they are cleansing out, eliminating, let's say, these elements naturally without any kind of real intervention.

And the more interventions that you do, the more that you're gonna eliminate now that narrow range that your body can do just kind of naturally just living a semi-healthy life is not really enough that we're seeing to get incoming as well as,

[00:14:34] Lisa Beres: right? I wouldn't think so. Yeah. You need a real detox. I mean, Ron and I just finished a 30 day parasite.

Heavy metal cleanse and it's like wild. I mean, I mean we have pictures of our foot baths with like worms and stuff and it's, oh my gosh, I know it's disgusting. I haven't actually posted 'em all on Instagram, but I'm gonna guys, first I was like, is this too much? But I'm like, no. 'cause we all have 'em. And people need to see, now we gotta deal with microplastics.

We're really being assaulted by so many biological and chemical. Really more chemical actually. You know, factors these days that, like you said, just living a regular life isn't good enough and even like, oh, trying to reduce isn't enough. Like we have to get like, I don't wanna say into battle, but kind of right to make sure that we're addressing these things head on because.

Like you said at the beginning, people are going to their doctor and they're getting misdiagnosed because it's not that they don't have the ailment, it's that they never get, the doctors don't do the digging to get down to, wait a minute, could this be a parasite? Could this be microplastics causing this?

So then they're getting loaded up on meds and treatments and spending lots of money and not really getting better. Right?

[00:15:45] Teri Lynn: No, because medications don't care anything. Your body cares itself gonna take care of some of the symptoms and. Some doctors are becoming more aware about parasitic infections and all that, but then I would still take that further, and we're not talking about this on this program, then why do you get parasite infections?

That's a whole nother topic that we can talk about because that's about the terrain. And again, if your terrain, let's say it has microplastics and heavy metals, if your terrain is not helping and it has those elements inside of it, it's gonna be able to harbor parasites and some parasites exist, or at least.

Can eat

[00:16:21] Lisa Beres: metals. Right. The girl that we just interviewed, she has a parasite cleanse that she offers. It's her company. Yeah. She said they can hold six times their weight and they hide behind the heavy metals. So a lot of times when people do a parasite cleanse without the heavy metal cleanse, they don't really get rid of the parasites or they build a

[00:16:39] Teri Lynn: parasite sometimes and it releases to heavy metals.

[00:16:42] Lisa Beres: Oh, okay. Releases the heavy

[00:16:44] Teri Lynn: metals. Yeah. And dump it. It will dump the content. Yeah. So, oh, okay. I've never heard it described as it will hide behind it. I've seen more research indicating that it's going to engulf it. Engulf it. Okay. Yeah. And that is actually a way to protect you. That's why the parasites are there.

We really should have a symbiotic relationship with parasites. Again, that's a whole nother discussion. I know

[00:17:05] Lisa Beres: right now it's a fascinat. These worms.

[00:17:08] Teri Lynn: No. Well, yeah, but they were there doing a job. I bet

[00:17:12] Lisa Beres: they were they there. That's crazy. No, that's so interesting. I love your approach to that. But you know, a lot of us, you know, have toxicity from our childhoods that.

This stuff's been like there for a very long time. So even though you might be living like me, we we're very clean. We're under our vegan. We buy all organic. We don't use any plastic. However, you know, if you look back at our childhoods, it was the exact opposite, right? It was like fast food and who knows?

Like, I mean, a lot of toxic microwaving microwave is, right? Yeah. I mean fast food, you know, in your college days and soda. We don't drink soda of course anymore. So, yeah, I think like you talked about. If you don't get in there and clean up that terrain, even if it was from decades ago, you know you are gonna be running in circles.

Okay. So what are some things we can do, Teri, to minimize the impact of microplastic exposure?

[00:18:02] Teri Lynn: Yeah, so I have a list here. Lemme take a look at it. So it's just the practical things we can do. Let's talk about our house, our homes. We can dust in vacuum regularly because like we mentioned, okay, that's a problem, Teri.

That's gonna be a problem.

[00:18:13] Lisa Beres: No, it's not.

[00:18:15] Ron Beres: I'm joking.

[00:18:17] Lisa Beres: Well, we might need a little, we're Virgo. It's definitely not a problem. We're both Virgos.

[00:18:21] Teri Lynn: I'm a Virgo too.

[00:18:22] Lisa Beres: You are too. I love it. Yeah, we're all clean here.

[00:18:27] Teri Lynn: That's gonna minimize the environment that you're living in, you know, to have these, you know, in the air they're gonna settle.

We just get a lot of particulates in the air. So just, you know, keeping your homes clean. Removing excess dust from your house can help cut down on just the microplastic aspect of it. There's fibers, you know, that are within the dust and we could be breathing that as well. It's, we're walking around the house, it's becoming airborne again.

So that's just something very practical and simple. Avoid drinking from disposable plastic water bottles. Like we mentioned. If you have no choice, try to keep them out of the sun for sure. Cool. Dry environment is the best, uh, environment for those, those degrade very easily. I. Drinking out of glass or stainless steel.

Those are the best choices. A lot of people are doing that nowadays. Now super simple, unless you are really stuck on buying those plastic bottles from Costco or whatever.

[00:19:17] Lisa Beres: I was just thinking Costco, like really low quality water. How much is the case run? We went there, I don't know, months ago and I saw the case was like something ridiculously cheap and I was like, how can that be like, that's too cheap for good water.

It just is. It's not good water, right?

[00:19:32] Teri Lynn: If it's in plastic, to me, it's automatically, it's been poisoned. So if I could just encourage the listeners, if anyone is doing that, I know that it's, it's probably very convenient. You think it is anyway, but you still gotta go out and get it and haul it in. Get a distiller, get a hundred dollars distiller in your kitchen and it lasts you for years.

It's gonna pay for itself and you get a way better end product and you have to add some minerals to it, but, uh, at least you're not getting plastic tea. Do you have a brand of distiller that you recommend? I don't have a brand, no. I bought one. It wasn't the cheapest, like they have from like $80 to a hundred.

Mine one was more like 120. It's It's a gallon one. Not gallon. No, it's not that at all. Not that at all. No. Yeah, not that at all. Okay. No. Super simple to use. Very nice. So there's one upgrade. You ready for more? Oh, I'm ready. Let's, okay, this is good takeaways. Okay, so filtering your water. So that is a way to filter your water.

You can also get just like a regular filter and like a distiller is kind of sometimes too much for people, but how about just. Filtering your water, maybe even tap water if you, if you go that route, like I'm telling you, having a good filter and using tap water is probably better than buying what they call filtered water from Costco.

[00:20:40] Ron Beres: Oh, sure. You're a preacher To the choir. Thank our listeners here. Yeah, absolutely. Your listeners.

[00:20:44] Teri Lynn: Okay, perfect. Avoiding plastic cutting boards. You know, think about that. Oh yes. Yeah. It's a great one. Yeah. You know, people say that wood isn't the best thing 'cause it might harbor some bacterias and stuff.

Just wash it. Just wash it. Really good.

[00:20:56] Lisa Beres: Yeah. Or spray vinegar. Right? We spray vine vinegar. Peroxide. Mm-hmm. Hydrogen peroxide. Yep. That's a great one. Yep.

[00:21:02] Teri Lynn: Cleansing.

[00:21:03] Lisa Beres: They were so popular. All those plastic cutting boards and yeah. Oh, you know, everything was convenience. Like, I mean, that's how we got to where we're at with this problem, right?

Like convenience, plastic, plastic, convenience, you know, from the fifties, I guess, when it all became the industrial revolution and making our lives so much more convenient. And Tupperware and

[00:21:23] Ron Beres: Tupperware

[00:21:25] Lisa Beres: locking in freshness and plastic nanoparticle. My mom

[00:21:28] Ron Beres: actually did sell that for a while. She sold, she sold some Tupperware back in the day.

Oh, my

[00:21:31] Lisa Beres: mom too.

[00:21:33] Ron Beres: Being minded too.

[00:21:34] Teri Lynn: I think we have a few of those orange bowls with the tops that you.

Oh my gosh. So don't use those

[00:21:44] Lisa Beres: Don't use tupperware. Get rid of that stuff. Its like, yeah, get rid

[00:21:47] Teri Lynn: of that stuff. And you know, when you talk about the cut wars, like those ones that are really thin or even not so much, but especially the thin ones, you can see the cotton marks in there. You can see it becomes white.

[00:21:55] Lisa Beres: Yes.

Where you can see the little particle pieces too. You can see the little plastic pieces, pieces. Those are micro plastics, right? Those are the big one.

[00:22:06] Ron Beres: Yeah, those are bigger. The five millimeter, right. Those are like. Macro plastics.

[00:22:10] Lisa Beres: Oh my gosh. Macro plastics. Yeah.

[00:22:12] Teri Lynn: Good grief. Eat real food. How about that one?

You know, so we're talking about containers that food comes in. If you eat real food, if you eat whole food, you're gonna have a lot less of those containers because you're gonna be buying a big bag of flour or you know, out growths or whatever it is. And so, minimizing the amount of processed food and stuff that you are actually, uh, consuming and buying, uh, that is gonna naturally just cut down on that.

So,

[00:22:36] Lisa Beres: yeah. Everything is plastic. So like even if you go to Trader Joe's and you're like, I want a bag of lettuce, or endive or carrot. Everything comes in plastic. I mean, they do have boxes for certain things. It's like the produce is all in plastic. And even if you get the avocado, you still have to go get the plastic bag to put it in.

So, but do you? No, you don't. But yeah, I don't,

[00:22:56] Teri Lynn: I don't. Alright. I get one bag, I literally do this. I'll put it on the bottom and then I'll get my three things of lettuce or whatever. I don't put 'em all in a bag. I. Oh, I don't personally do that. I'm thinking of that. You, do you bring your own bag or Sometimes I do, but I'll use one of their bags and then I'll put three heads of lettuce in there or whatever, or I'll just use it just so it doesn't touch the bottom of the cart that the kid sits on, you know?

Oh, okay.

[00:23:17] Lisa Beres: Gotcha. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Just lay it on top. That's a,

[00:23:19] Ron Beres: that's a different issue, right?

[00:23:22] Lisa Beres: 30 kids coming up next on Healthy Home Hacks.

[00:23:26] Teri Lynn: There's little things you can do if you're conscious of it every day, and you do have to be conscious of it every day, and don't expect to be that conscious. Right away.

You just have to start noticing and what can I do in little ways to just make my own environment better and less full of plastic? And also look at the bigger picture as well on how am I not contributing? How am I contributing less the problem?

[00:23:49] Lisa Beres: Right? Farmer's markets are a great one too, right? I mean, going to support the farmers market.

Yes.

[00:23:53] Teri Lynn: Yes, for sure. Yeah.

[00:23:55] Lisa Beres: So those

[00:23:55] Teri Lynn: types of lifestyle hacks that you'll notice that you're just gonna naturally go more towards. Less of the exposure to all these other elements.

[00:24:06] Lisa Beres: That's really true. When we stopped buying plastic water bottles ourselves, which has been, I don't know, 15 years ago, I don't know how long it's been, but I literally can't drink water out of plastic bottle anymore 'cause I think it tastes so disgusting.

You know, if you go to like the dentist or wherever, they'll give you little bottles. I don't take it 'cause it's so gross and I know the filtration's terrible and 99% of it, but the plasticy taste. 'cause once you've gone glass and stainless steel and you know you want, you're not going back. So that's like what you said, it'll get easier because you won't want to, you won't want to go back to those habits.

[00:24:42] Teri Lynn: Yeah. You'll get the I factor a little, a little faster.

[00:24:44] Ron Beres: Yes, for sure. For sure.

[00:24:45] Lisa Beres: Yeah. Okay.

[00:24:46] Ron Beres: So we've minimized our impact on microplastic exposure. Can you tell us how can someone listening detoxify from microplastics, for example, are there natural effective strategies to help the body cleanse itself from these hidden toxins, including nutrition and lifestyle changes?

[00:25:03] Teri Lynn: So let's talk about nutrition. Well, we talked about lifestyle changes, right? And so let's talk about nutrition a little bit, and then we can talk about some targeted supplements, because I think both are needed. So the cleaner quote, cleaner you eat, the easier it is on your body to do what it's naturally going to do.

It wants to cleanse. Every day wants to detox. Every day, people sometimes ask me, okay, how long do I have to do the detox thing? Like you're detoxing every stuck in. Yeah. You just, you're detoxing every second, and what you wanna do is you wanna help your body do that process. And so diet plays a big role in that.

And not just avoiding the plastic packaging, but giving your body an opportunity to. Be able to cleanse so that it's not dealing with so many, uh, processed foods. And it sounds like your audience already knows that type of of stuff. So I don't have to really, I swear

[00:25:48] Lisa Beres: I feel like we can't say this stuff enough though, you know?

Right. Yeah. You can repeat and repeat and repeat. 'cause you might even get into, people might, listeners might get into a, like, healthy little phase and then revert back. So it's like getting those reminders is so important. Okay. So let, let's remind

[00:26:01] Teri Lynn: them a little bit on that, because what you're doing when you're eating food that is.

Overly processed. And I say that because even the simplest food is actually processed. If you cut a potato, it's processed. Yeah. Okay. So overly processed. What I mean is the stuff you're gonna find in bags, the things you don't really have to take a whole lot of time. It's not whole, right? So you're probably eating something that is not giving you more than it's taking from you.

So your body has to work harder to process that. Then it's giving you, you're probably only getting what we call calories, which aren't actually a thing, but you know, you're getting a little bit of sustenance. So by minimizing that as much as you can, your body organs that are made, designed to take care of some incoming unnatural elements, well, they're not designed to actually take care of microplastics, but anything that you're not, doesn't belong in your body.

It's designed to take care of like your liver. Alcohol. You know, if you're a chronic alcohol drinker, that will affect your liver. So your liver should be protected at all costs. Uh, that is what's going to help your whole body. If you were to focus on one, let's say organ or part of your body, I would focus on your liver.

And there's a lot of ways that you can cleanse out your liver, support your liver. Bitter foods, bitter greens or liver, loves anything bitter. We hate anything bitter 'cause it tastes bitter. We don't. Like to eat anything bitter, but that is actually really good for your liver and there's ways you can actually flush your liver flush, if anyone wants to look that up.

[00:27:30] Lisa Beres: What's a bitter green? What would a bitter green be? A

[00:27:32] Teri Lynn: dandelion is well known to be good for your liver and it's, it's bitter. Some kale color greens are bitter, just mustard greens. Those are a little bit spicy though, too. Things that you would be like, you know, that's doesn't taste great. Okay. What your, your liver likes, what's in those, okay.

Yeah, we take

[00:27:50] Lisa Beres: Chinese bitters. Okay. We do take a Chinese bitters tincture every so often just for a liver cleanse. I get it from Canada and it's

[00:27:57] Teri Lynn: great. Yeah. And there's herbs that you can buy in capsule form that have a blend that are, you know, full of herbs, you know, for your liver and greens and things.

So. Dandelion tea, you know, it's easy to get dandelion. Tea is easy to get. Joy, dandelion. Oh, right, yeah. Great for your liver. And it doesn't taste bad. You know, you put a little honey in there if you want to. So liver health, focusing on that. So remind me of a question. What's the question?

[00:28:18] Lisa Beres: Oh, um, detoxing.

Yeah. How else, how we got on tangents. How else to detox your body from these microplastics, if you already have 'em in there.

[00:28:26] Teri Lynn: Okay. So we understand the role of diet and how important that is to, and water too. With good water, just to keep your body functioning at a higher level. There are certain supplements that you can take.

We accompany human conscious support and with them. I'm one of the main team members there, core team members, and I happen to know a lot about the studies that we just did. So I can talk about that a little bit. 'cause we did tests for microplastics, we tested for PEs polyethylene and PPEs polypropylene.

And we use a kind of a test that's an intracellular test it. It's testing how the lymphocytes are reacting. No longer available right now. And I was available for a short time. Fortunately the lab shut down for a short time and then I think they're reopening now, but they had a death from the owner, so, but we did a small pilot study and I have some figures here in front of me.

Yeah, that shows some of the numbers. So we had a couple, we had a, just a few subjects, it's just a pilot study. I'll go through a couple of them. The first subject had a baseline for polyethylene of 2 23. So the units came out today were 2 23. They were tested two more times, one at 35 days. And one at 90 days, and the average of those, because the body is up and down with those everything.

We're at 108 average. For the second and third test. So went down from 2 23 to 1 0 8. So basically cut it in half in three months

[00:29:47] Lisa Beres: by doing your supplement. Oh, sorry. Yeah, I was like, I

[00:29:51] Teri Lynn: like, well what is the secret?

[00:29:52] Lisa Beres: Tell us the secret. So funny. So what did she do? So there was one variable

[00:29:58] Teri Lynn: in this particular cus good grease.

There was one variable and that's a product called Masterpiece. And it's a nano-sized zeolite. And that was marine plasma as well. So we've actually changed our formula a little bit now, but lemme talk about that supplement a little bit. So a masterpiece is a patented process to create a nano-sized zeolite and there are other nano-sized zeolites on the market.

What we did was we reverse engineered them. We found out what was in them, how much of what was in them, what they said they were in them, and we try to do it better and we did. So right now what we have is a patented process that nano sizes the zeolite, and we're able with our process. We're able to get a lot of nano cyte lytes in every drop.

Like Wow. A whole bunch more like 300 compared to like, ours is like 1200. Okay. Wow. That's particle size in a particle range size that is wider than most of the nano zeolites. There's like one to four nanos. Ours is like one to 300. Okay. And that's important because you're going after different things.

And so the thing about Zeoli, in case anyone's not real familiar with Zeoli, is it carries a very strong negative charge. Poisons are generally almost all of them, if not all of 'em, are positively charged and clean plastics. And we were wondering, hmm, is our formula gonna be able to pick up the plastics?

Are we able to get a really good chelation of those elements? And I just gave you the results of one person anyway. And we did find that it was decreased by 50%. Wow. So the liquid in our formula is, it's currently a inland C plasma or C mineral solution. Very special. Uh, it also is a, the patented process.

And so I put those two together. That's all it is, just two ingredients. Put those two together. And what happens is, because it's at a perfect pH, your body likes to be, you're talking about like general health. Your body wants to be in a specific pH. It wants to be a interstitial fluid. Should be right around eight, I think 0.38, 0.6, something like that.

The blood is a little more acidic, so, but your interstitial fluid, like we mentioned, it's 80% of your fluids, right? So that is really what we wanna keep at a really good pH, and our body's good at maintaining that. But if we're constantly eating things we shouldn't be eating, if we're just constantly being bombarded with things that even of the more sick nature, your body can't keep up with that.

And so our frontline was curated to be able to go. Right into the mucus membranes in, in your mouth and right into the interstitial fluid. Doesn't even hit the stomach. And because it's a, just that right pH, where it just sucks it right in. And it also is bathed. When we looked at the, uh, nano zeolite particles, we actually had magnification of 500, I think it was thousand magnifications.

We see the actual zeolite particle. It's a cage structure. It looks like a cage and peppered on each cage. Is these blushes beautiful nano and pyl beter size minerals, and it attaching on because they're slightly positively charged. What happens is when that moves through your body, the zeal light senses something that's highly, positively charged like a plastic.

It will chelate it, it will grab it, it will add, absorb it and absorb it. So it will get on top. And it will go inside as well.

[00:33:07] Lisa Beres: Oh, wow.

[00:33:08] Teri Lynn: And then it exchanges it with the minerals that are in the sea, the sea minerals. Oh, I see. Oh, wow. And so that place, wherever that heavy metal or that plastic was. Gets an exchange and you could call it an instant healing of that particular cell or that particular, you know, place.

So back to the study. That's

[00:33:28] Lisa Beres: amazing. Wow. I'm like, I need to get, I need to get a bottle,

[00:33:31] Teri Lynn: Ron. We need a bottle for sure. We'll send you a couple. So that's the product we used and we were like, well, let's test for these microplastics. We didn't, hadn't known anyone else that really tested for that, uh, would feel like anyway with their own product.

So the other, uh, subject with the polyethylene, they started out at 4 45 and their average of the next two tests were 1 26. So they had a lower lot

[00:33:52] Ron Beres: lower

[00:33:52] Lisa Beres: after just a few months. Three months,

[00:33:54] Ron Beres: yeah. Three months. Wow. So what is the typical baseline for the unit? Is it, what's the average person normally have?

Is, has that been determined? Is it 200? One minute?

[00:34:03] Teri Lynn: Well, we're getting 200. 200 to 400 right in there

[00:34:07] Ron Beres: for,

[00:34:08] Teri Lynn: it's a very small pilot study, so we don't have a large amount. So it's hard to say.

[00:34:11] Ron Beres: It's more to showing the ratio of how much better it is, but Okay. Yeah. Now

[00:34:14] Lisa Beres: zeolite. 'cause I remember taking zeolite many, many, many years ago, and I always thought of it as a heavy metal, right?

A heavy metal chelator. Is that what it was always known for? And now you guys have discovered that it can be used for plastic or, I think so. Okay. I think so. That's amazing

[00:34:29] Teri Lynn: because our pilot study was geared around heavy metals. Oh, okay. And that's what we designed our product for. But we're not talking about that in this podcast.

So I was, you know, more geared towards the, the plastics. But we did happen to test for that at, you know, the same pilot study. 'cause we were just curious. And the results were actually really astounding.

[00:34:45] Lisa Beres: Oh my God. It's like a little vacuum going through it. Little

[00:34:47] Teri Lynn: Pacman going through your body. It is, it's inert.

Zeolite is inert. It can't, it won't digest your body doesn't digest it. It just basically is something you're putting through it like a filter, putting your, the filter just through it, gonna pick up things along the way. It's gonna ext 'em out.

[00:35:02] Lisa Beres: Really? That's amazing. So it never makes its way to your digestion, your, your stomach.

Well, the masterpiece

[00:35:08] Teri Lynn: formula won't, but if you take a powdered xle Yeah, we have a powdered XLE as well. That is meant for, that meant for the gut. And it's very good for the gut.

[00:35:16] Lisa Beres: Oh, for the gut. Like if you wanted to get some of that outta your 'cause, I wonder what percentage of microplastics would be in your gut versus floating around your body.

[00:35:24] Teri Lynn: Yeah. Our formula, the way that we created it, was that about 20% that based on particle size, is gonna stay within the gut. And it's a very good thing because again, remember a lot of what you are being toxified with is breathing and swallowing. And so if you. Have a, like a daily routine of doing powdered zeal lights.

You're gonna hopefully, you know, be able to catch that along the way so it doesn't get past the gut wall lining. Uh, and the other part of the formula, based on the particle range size will get past the gut lining. And that's very good. And that's what we want. We want it more on a macro level throughout the body.

The masterpiece is meant to just go right in your mouth and right to the brain. To the

[00:36:02] Lisa Beres: brain. I was gonna say, can do that?

[00:36:03] Teri Lynn: Yes, can do that.

[00:36:05] Lisa Beres: So we're getting, people have microplastics in their brain and heavy metals. Yeah, they do. Okay. They

[00:36:10] Teri Lynn: do

[00:36:10] Lisa Beres: because like people are linking, you know, Alzheimer's and dementia and a lot of these neurological issues with heavy metals.

Correct,

[00:36:17] Teri Lynn: yes. That's one reason that they've shown. There's other reasons, but yeah, that's one reason that, that they've shown. They're also calling Alzheimer's diabetes type three. I just thought that,

[00:36:26] Lisa Beres: or not every day there's something new every day. Yeah, very. Now the parasites too, like parasites in your brain, like parasites can go to your brain.

Right? RFK Jr. We talked about that had a parasite in his brain that ate part of his brain. I guess he wrote about it in his book. I didn't even know that. I don't remember what the name of the parasite was, but. Yeah, so it's crazy. Yeah. So, gosh, zeolite is just like, is it from volcanic ash? Is that how it's made?

Very good. Most people don't know that. Exactly. It's like, I gotta go back in my file. Yeah,

[00:36:59] Teri Lynn: take it out. Yeah. So there is a chemical reaction that happens when it hits the water, but yeah, it's generally thought of as like a lava or a volcanic ash and very highly negatively charged right from the earth.

It's nature's chelator. Those areas where zeal light beds are the cleanest in the world.

[00:37:15] Lisa Beres: Wow. So there's no harm in taking it, there's no side effects? No, there's no

[00:37:19] Teri Lynn: direct side effects. Uh, sometimes in the balance, the body's trying to balance, like I mentioned, like it's called cation exchange. That's what I was describing when the heavy metal leaves and that particular, let's say cell will exchange it with the mineral, whatever that particular area needs.

And so. There's a balance that sometimes, you know, takes a little bit to have, maybe there aren't the right ratio of minerals right there. The body has to heal, just has to go through, you know, prosta homeostasis. So it's not that the zeolite is doing that, it's not that. It's that you're getting out poisons in your body and the poisons aren't doing damage on the way out.

That's not what we're talking about. But the body is trying to balance and you most people don't have the incoming nutrition to be able to keep up with a very good detox program. Some supplements are, do put people in a position where they can retox so it can pick up, let's say a heavy metal and drop it somewhere because it doesn't have a strong negative charge.

That's why, you know, the zeolite, I think is the king of all of 'em of a chelator because it's just so strong it won't do that. Also, some other programs can just move things around, so to speak, and drum things up and then you can feel those effects.

[00:38:30] Lisa Beres: Oh, interesting. Yeah, so then we've all, well hopefully a lot of listeners have detoxed at some point and they're some, you'll feel sluggish sometimes.

I guess that's because maybe. That's happening as the poisons are going through your body.

[00:38:44] Ron Beres: Yeah. I know this might be simple, but someone who's never had zeolite before, it's just a case of taking a few drops into their water glass or whatever they're drinking from. Right. On a once or twice a day, then they're experiencing,

[00:38:54] Teri Lynn: yeah, I wish I had my bottle right here.

So it's actually five drops under the tongue. Under the tongue. Uh, that would be the best way to do it because you want it to stay in your mouth. You want it to just absorb right through your mouth and get to the interstitial fluid right there. Some people are super sensitive. They do have to even dilute it in a little bit of water coming at the table where they're just very toxic.

That's very rare, but that does happen. So yeah, five drops at the most Under your time every day. Twice a day. Yeah, twice a day.

[00:39:23] Lisa Beres: Yeah. That's it. Okay. It tastes like salt. Oh, okay.

[00:39:25] Teri Lynn: Doesn't taste like the ocean and that plasma

[00:39:26] Lisa Beres: from the ocean, is that actually beneficial?

[00:39:29] Teri Lynn: Yeah, hairy. Very beneficial. Very, very, very.

Right.

[00:39:32] Lisa Beres: Is it kind of like an algae?

[00:39:33] Teri Lynn: No, it's not like an algae. It is, uh, like a sea salt. It's not just salt, but ours is actually very high. That salt, it's very, the salinity is very high, but it has all the tray elements, 70 some elements. Oh, gotcha. Okay. So you're getting, it's a very special So though, and we've also done things to it.

To it itself, and then when the formula comes together, we also structure, it's like triple structured. There is patented process that happen to make the formula work together very, very, very well. So that the body just knows what to do with it, and it's very bioavailable. There's no availability issues whatsoever.

Okay. You're not gonna waste anything. That's

[00:40:11] Lisa Beres: fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. What an amazing thing you guys have created. How long has it been around? Going on two years.

[00:40:18] Teri Lynn: Pretty soon. Yeah, so two years for sure. Before they opened the doors and they were, you know, testing on, uh, friends and family type, you know, situation.

So two years for sure. But we opened our doors June be almost two years ago. We had a 1.0, we were using marine plasma in that one, and our 2.0 had a doctor come on help us, and he kind of tweaked the formula, the last tweaking of it, and he raised the pH of it. The pH of the formula is between eight and nine, which is really important in case any of your listeners do know about that and what's called the ORP Oxidative reduction potential of it is very high.

It's at one 20 in case anybody knows that kind of science stuff too.

[00:40:56] Lisa Beres: Got nerds on the call. Nerds on the call on science nerd. No, I'm just kidding.

[00:41:02] Teri Lynn: It's like, it's as your body. It's like your body. And so that's why it knows what to do with it very easily. And so it's a process that even though we saw great declines after the first 35 days, like in our study, the greatest declines were when we tested at three, five days like the PPEs.

We didn't mention that we had a subject starting out at 2 34 and went down to 1 57. We had another one that was 2 82 and went down to 8 97. Oh

[00:41:25] Lisa Beres: wow.

[00:41:26] Teri Lynn: That's really good. Yeah.

[00:41:27] Lisa Beres: That's amazing. Those are just plastic polypropylene.

[00:41:30] Teri Lynn: Tell us where we would get exposure to polypropylene. I don't remember the difference between Polyethylenes and Polypropylenes.

An actual expert on the, the microplastics. I'm more of an expert on, you know, what they do in the body, but pretty much just what we've talked about with all the plastics. Some of them are more pliable. Your bread bags, store bags, your soft plastics. Yeah, soft plastics. The other one is more of a hard plastic.

[00:41:54] Lisa Beres: Yeah. And obviously like to go containers. We talked about like even just getting food to go, you know, they're putting 'em in a lot of black plastic containers now. Those are like really bad, especially if your food's hot. Yeah,

[00:42:05] Teri Lynn: it's really bad. I

[00:42:06] Lisa Beres: would say. Yeah, the food packaging must be one of the main in the water.

Must be some of the main ways we're getting exposure to these. And guys, I don't think we need to say this, but please, please, please don't microwave plastic ever. Right? I know there's people listening that are still doing that and just don't. It's hard sometimes when you can't see directly, right? You can't see directly the exposure or the illness that that action is going to cause.

After years of a habit, you don't see it, right? That's a really things right away. You don't eat in plastic and feel terrible right away, right? They're cumulative. So. That's why sometimes people, it's outta sight, outta mind. Right?

[00:42:43] Teri Lynn: Yeah. That's, those are two really good points. As one, it's so small that we were not seeing it and we're visually very acute to outta sight, outta mind kind of thing.

Right. And also what's happening very, very, very slowly. And so when you start to have health issues, you go to the doctor and the doctor says, well, there's something wrong with your kidney. Why is there something wrong with your kidney or kidney, you know, or there's something wrong with your lungs. Well, why is there something, you know?

So it just, it's hitting that weakest area perhaps on you, your weakest link. But, so these are cumulative effects, and if you wanna keep your health, you will detox wisely on a regular basis and you'll have a healthy lifestyle.

[00:43:16] Lisa Beres: I agree. It's not chronic anymore. Yeah. No, no, it's not. And if you can afford your iPhone, you can afford to detox.

Like I tell people that, 'cause people are like, oh, it's expensive. Well, you know what, so is cancer cancer's really expensive. It is. Diseases are expensive, right? So I mean, really you're investing in your health now versus paying way more later for illness. And that's just how it is. I mean. You've gotta prioritize it.

[00:43:41] Ron Beres: You shared so much of this already. Any final thoughts and some practical holistic approaches to boost our overall health? 'cause there seem to be a wealth of knowledge.

[00:43:49] Teri Lynn: Boost your overall health. So it comes down to two things, comes down to things that are there that shouldn't be there. AKA poisons and things that aren't there that should be there.

A k, a nutrition. So sometimes there's blockages to get those that nutrition. But health comes down to just those two things. You're not sick, you're poisoned.

[00:44:08] Lisa Beres: Oh soundbite. That's a soundbite. It's true though. You're not sick, you're poisoned. Powerful.

[00:44:17] Teri Lynn: Yeah, because the body is a miraculous design and it knows how to, it's trying to function the best every second, and the only thing we have to do is get outta the way to get outta the way.

We don't have to work through what's wrong with my kidney or what's wrong with my lungs, or it's usually gonna heal itself.

[00:44:36] Lisa Beres: It wants to be healthy, treating your body good, being kind to your body. I'd say like meditation and self-care and all of that, you know, reducing your stress levels all is a big part of it too.

Right, because you said even like the terrain, like making that terrain healthy so that your body can do what it needs to do, right?

[00:44:54] Teri Lynn: Yeah. And it's mind, body, spirit, right? There's levels of, and I wouldn't call 'em levels that just, those are the parts to holistic health. Is mind, body, spirit. And there's always gonna be those parts that are entailed in every disease.

And I like to separate that word into two parts. 'cause it's lack of ease. Soe, you're going to have mind, body, spirit levels, and you can't try to just heal one without the other. Like people that are very spiritual, that's great, but if their bodies aren't healthy, you know?

[00:45:21] Lisa Beres: Yeah, right. You know, you're not healthy, you know?

I know. Or I see that a lot in the spiritual community. I'll see like people drinking soda and I'm like, huh. Or the health and wellness. So sometimes things will really shock me. Then again, I know it's a learning process and we're all on a journey and you know, when you know better, you do better. So I think a lot of times it's like, okay, maybe they didn't realize those toxic cleaning products were filled with cancer causing chemicals, but now they know and now they're gonna switch.

So this is all a journey. I mean, there's so much. To, you know, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, whether it's fitness, how you eat, reducing your plastics, you know, filtering your air, filtering your water. There's so many factors. Makeup, skincare, right? Our skin's our largest organ, right? So we are absorbing a lot of stuff through our skin.

And you talked about that, I'm sure. Like, I don't know, I'm guessing the microplastics could get in that way too, right? Through our skin, through, you know, makeup and lotions and body wash. Are we getting plastics that way too?

[00:46:20] Teri Lynn: Definitely through hygiene products for sure. And the less you you use, the better off you're gonna be.

You know, the skin has been said to be a largest organ, but it's that actually the intra that is, that's that body ocean I talked about, and that is right underneath the skin, you know, so that anything you put on the skin is going to get absorbed.

[00:46:36] Lisa Beres: Well, last question. How do you know if your detox pathways aren't open?

And working well. So someone who's struggling, well, you look at what the detox, did you say detox pathways or

[00:46:45] Teri Lynn: elimination pathways. Oh, okay. Tell us the difference. Okay. Well, elimination pathways are your respiration, perspiration, defecation, urination, and for women menstruation. So those are the ways your body eliminates, I cannot use hair too.

That's why we do hair testing. Gold standard is really hair testing when we're, we're talking about finding out where the body's at, and we, our second study actually entailed that. But, so detox pathways, your liver is the only organ that really detoxes, and so I don't really call the elimination pathways.

Detox pathways, though people will do that. And I, I delineate the two because the other ones are simply elimination. That's the way to eliminate, uh, your liver is the pathway. The liver is the only pathway. That will take apart a toxin, which in the meantime becomes more toxic. And then it has to go through another phase where it makes it less toxic.

So your liver, if it's not working correctly, you could actually be retox, uh, because your liver's not able to finish that process,

[00:47:38] Lisa Beres: right? So you gotta start there. You have to make sure those are all working

[00:47:42] Teri Lynn: right before you start. So sweating is good. Saunas are good. You wanna make sure that you're drinking enough water, not too much.

You can drink too much water. People are drinking gallons of water. Don't do that. Yeah. Enough water. That is a true thing. You can overdo it. Yeah. Okay. Yes. Because your electrolyte balance, you're washing out minerals, especially if you're doing reverse osmosis and distilled water. That stuff's gonna be hungry, is gonna just get all kinds of stuff in your body and you're gonna be depleted.

So mineralized water every day and not the right amount. And make sure that your bowels are moving, you know, correctly. And you know, that's a whole nother discussion too. And yeah, make

[00:48:14] Lisa Beres: sure you're going to the bathroom every day, you know? And if you're not, look at that, right? A lot of people suffering from IBS and constipation and all kinds of issues these days, right?

The gastrointestinal track. So check that out. If you're having issues before you start doing all this,

[00:48:30] Teri Lynn: that's usually the place to start is gastrointestinal with most people.
