A Netflix documentary following six couples with unexplained fertility challenges through a 90-day experiment to dramatically reduce their exposure to plastic-related chemicals, guided by world-renowned environmental and reproductive epidemiologist Dr Shanna Swan, revealing how everyday items from food packaging and cookware to clothing and personal care products silently disrupt our hormonal health. Based on a peer-reviewed scientific study, it is as relevant for those not trying to conceive as it is for fertility, offering a sobering and genuinely eye-opening look at how plastics affect the wider body including hormones, metabolism, and development in infants and children. Recommended for anyone who wants to understand the real health impact of plastics in modern life and feel motivated to make practical, achievable changes at home.
