Lesson #380 | Microplastic Detox and Mustard(6/4/2026)-In Lesson 380 Julie Marie explains that making foods like mustard at home is part of a broader effort to reduce consumption of microplastics and improve health, emphasizing that plastic packaging—especially in bottled water, beverages, condiments, canned goods, teabags, and takeout containers—is a major source of ingestion. Microplastics contribute to inflammation, disrupt gut health, and may affect organs and cognition, while promoting a lifestyle centered on whole, high‑fiber foods, homemade staples, and storing or preparing items in glass or stainless steel instead of plastic. They also advocate avoiding microwaves, processed foods, and disposable products, preparing meals and drinks from scratch, and using natural materials for cookware and storage.

The demonstration covers milling grain, mixing and resting dough with a food processor, shaping pasta by hand without special equipment, quick stovetop cooking, and pairing it with a fast tomato cream sauce rich in plant‑based nutrients. Throughout, she emphasizes kitchen efficiency, playfulness, family connection, and flexibility, reinforcing that results come from consistently “stacking the days” with whole foods, fiber, resistant starch, and polyphenols, whether through simple meals or more involved culinary crafts, all in service of proactive, joyful health.
