Microplastics in Your Body: The TERRIFYING Fertility Connection

September 20, 2025

Code to Conception

Daily micro-protocols for the 90-day miracle window

| September 20, 2025 |

🔬 Pre-Bump Biology  

Microplastics aren’t just in oceans—they’re in you. Recent studies confirm they accumulate in semen, testis, follicular fluid, and even placenta. The impact? Lower sperm motility, disrupted egg metabolism, and reduced fertilization rates. Translation: invisible plastic particles could quietly be cutting conception odds in the 90-day pre-conception window.  

🧬 Protocol Drop  

Today’s 1-Step Protocol: 

Ditch bottled water. Instead, boil your tap water in the morning, run it through a ceramic/paper filter, and store it in glass. This single shift reduces daily nano- and micro-plastic intake by 80–90%, protecting both sperm motility and egg competence.

📚 Glossary Pop  

NLRP3 Inflammasome: A molecular “alarm system” inside cells. When triggered by stressors like microplastics, it flips on inflammation genes (via NF-κB), releasing messengers like IL-1β. Chronic activation here is linked to poor sperm function, lower egg quality, and disrupted implantation.  

Send this note to your partner—then tag-team a “no bottled water” pledge. Small shifts, multiplied by 90 days, equal stronger embryos.
P.S. Tomorrow Teaser
Your “healthy” water bottle might be sabotaging conception. New evidence shows common plastics leach hormone-disrupting chemicals into every sip—altering sperm counts, egg quality, and implantation odds. Tomorrow, we expose the hidden disruptor inside your daily hydration habit.
