This is a YouTube video titled "Don't Drink Water at the Airport | Dr. Tracy Gapin x Dave Asprey" featuring a discussion between Dr. Tracy Gapin and Dave Asprey recorded in July 2024. They talk about the risks of microplastics and contaminants in airport and airplane water, sharing personal strategies for hydration and minimizing toxic exposure during travel.
Something that you talk about a lot is microplastics. What do you do? You're at the airport, you want to be hydrated on an airplane.
Yep.
And you don't want birth control pills in your water, which is what happens if you do that fake filtered water at the airport. Yeah. You don't want microplastics and estrogens if you get the bottled water. And most airports don't have glass bottles.
That's right.
What do we, what do you do?
Yeah. So that's the.
Time to fast and.
Not drink water too. On airplane. So knowing that you cannot get your water bottle through security.
Yeah.
You can't get your stainless, you know, and I, I'm known to carry on my stainless water bottle with filtered water everywhere I go. You can't get it through security. And the only options you have there are those plastic water balls. So I would rather go those two hours and not drink water for two hours. I'm okay. I'll be okay till I get where I'm going.
On a two hour flight? Yeah. On a four or trans. You got a drink.
At some point you're going to have to make that tough decision when you're. Yeah. On, on a, you know, New York to LA kind of flight. But the key is, I like to talk about these micro decisions you have every single day. Everything you do is a micro decision. What you eat, how you move, how you breathe, even the water you're drinking. And as much as you can do to lower your toxic load, the better. And so are you going to die from drinking from a plastic well? You're not. But you want to do everything you can to minimize that and lower your exposure as much as possible. When you're in this situation, you don't have a choice.
