About this listen

Welcome back to The Best Life Code! In this special episode, host and Doctor Rudy to discuss a movement that is both deeply personal and globally urgent: the impact of plastics especially microplastics and nanoplastics on our health and environment. Drawing from decades of clinical experience, Doctor Rudy introduces the concept of “Homoplasticus,” an evolution of our species shaped not by natural selection, but by our exposure to pervasive plastics.

In this conversation, the duo explores how plastics have quietly infiltrated every aspect of our lives and our bodies raising awareness about their role as endocrine disruptors, their presence in our food, water, and even the air we breathe, and their connection to a troubling rise in chronic diseases. Doctor Rudy and Vivek talk about practical ways to reduce exposure, the power of community action, and the importance of innovation and policy change.

From art-inspired awareness campaigns to real-life solutions and small daily changes, this episode is all about empowerment over fear. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, executive, or everyday consumer, you’ll come away with actionable steps and hope that together, we can create meaningful change for ourselves and future generations. Tune in to discover how you can be part of the solution on The Best Life Code!
