    #470: Microplastics: The INVISIBLE Threat to Health, Pets & Planet | What You Can Do NOW With Heather Hutchens & Dr. Debra Kimless

    Together, we dive into one of the biggest topics of our time—microplastics.

We also get real about the hidden sources of plastic exposure all around us, including the products we think are “healthy,” and why our companion animals may be the environmental sentinels we’ve been ignoring.
