About this episode
Your tea bag could be releasing BILLIONS of microplastics into your body… and that’s just the beginning. From workout clothes to water bottles to everyday groceries — plastic is infiltrating our health in ways most people never think about. In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Sean sits down with wellness entrepreneur and patent holder Josephine Musco to talk about microplastics, hormone disruption, seed oils, detoxing, and why she reinvented tea to eliminate hidden toxins. Josephine breaks down: • Why traditional tea bags may release billions of microplastics • How plastics can mimic estrogen and disrupt hormones • The dangers of seed oils (and how long they stay in your body) • Why most electrolytes aren’t optimized for women • Detox methods like lymphatic activation & rebounding • Raising a fully biohacked child in today’s world • Why health is the ultimate status symbol They also discuss fashion vs. function, organic fabrics, antioxidants, olive leaf extract, and building a wellness brand from scratch after personal tragedy. If you care about what goes in — and on — your body, this conversation will open your eyes. ??
