Truth in every drop. What you consume matters — in your food, your body, and your world. The RightDose is a weekly digest of health & consumer insights. This week: small exposures, big impact.
Microplastics: You’re Eating a Credit Card a Week.
Every week, the average person consumes 5 grams of microplastics — roughly the weight of a credit card — through water, food, and even the air we breathe.
Recent research shows microplastics in human blood, lungs, and even placenta, and early evidence links them to inflammation, oxidative stress, and possible endocrine disruption. The biggest culprits: plastic packaging, synthetic fibers and bottled water.

💡 RightShop takeaway: Every purchase is a vote for less plastic in the world — and less in your bloodstream.

Switching to Glass: Small Change, Big Payoff.
In 2021, Harvard researchers found that people with lower exposure to BPA and phthalates—chemicals that leach from plastics into food and drink—showed significantly lower levels of metabolic and hormonal disruption.
These endocrine-disrupting chemicals are tied to: • Obesity • Fertility issues • Early menopause • Insulin resistance • Thyroid disruption
🧬 Tip: Store food in glass, not plastic — especially hot or acidic foods. 📚 Sources: Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (2021); Environmental Health Perspectives (2020)
3. THE RIGHT VOICE
Featuring Estee Lantos
Somatic health coach, wellness educator, and founder of Holistic Estee
Her work bridges functional medicine, mind-body balance, and conscious beauty—helping people understand that true vitality begins with what we put in and on our bodies.
Pull Quote (Estee): “Less exposure means less interference with our natural rhythms, and more access to the body’s innate capacity to rest, repair, and ultimately slow the effects of aging.”
Estee reminds us that stress isn’t only emotional — environmental toxins and synthetic compounds create hidden biological stress the body must constantly process.
Lowering that toxic load creates more internal safety and supports healthier aging.
We’re grateful to have Estee as a co-creator and guide as we rethink what conscious consumption looks like.
