PFAS, microplastics and my water filter

When I first looked at the exposures panel in Vitals Vault I thought it was a gimmick. Then I saw my microplastics and PFAS scores were high. I read an article about how environmental exposures compound metabolic risk and contribute to neuroinflammation. It mentioned microplastics, air pollution and pesticides as additive stressors.

That was a wake‑up call. I bought a high‑quality water filter, swapped to glass storage, and stopped using nonstick pans. I retested six months later; my microplastics score dropped significantly and my CRP was down. Maybe it's placebo but I also noticed my skin cleared up and my digestion improved. It's easy to roll your eyes at exposures until you see the numbers. I'm not living in a bubble but I'm making smarter choices. Vitals Vault turned a vague environmental worry into measurable action.
