Dr. Joseph Mercola was recently featured on FOX 13 Seattle in a segment discussing the new STOMP program and the growing focus on microplastic exposure. During the roughly seven-minute interview, he was introduced as a board-certified family medicine physician, helping frame the conversation around his expertise in environmental health.
In the segment, Mercola explained what microplastics are and how they enter the body, emphasizing that a significant portion of exposure may come from inhalation rather than ingestion. He also shared practical ways to reduce exposure and referenced his upcoming book “The Microplastics Cure”, now available for pre-order, as a resource for viewers looking to better understand the issue.
Mercola emphasized that while exposure is widespread, simple changes in daily habits may help reduce overall contact, as research into microplastics and long-term health effects continues to evolve.
