In late 2024, biohacker Bryan Johnson made headlines after publicly sharing lab results that revealed 167 microplastic particles per milliliter in his semen; twice the concentration found in his blood. By mid-2025, he claimed to have reduced that number to 20 particles per milliliter, an 85% drop, through daily dry sauna sessions and targeted cold exposure.
The story sparked global curiosity, and skepticism. Could sitting in a 200°F sauna really “sweat out” microplastics? Or is the real problem coming from somewhere closer to home, like the water we drink, cook with, and bathe in every day?
Let’s take a deeper look at what the science says… and why a Natural Action Whole Home Structured Water System may be the more practical, nature-aligned solution to this growing issue.
What Are Microplastics and Why They Matter
Microplastics are tiny plastic fragments...less than 5 millimeters in size; that come from synthetic clothing fibers, packaging, bottled water, and the breakdown of larger plastics in the environment. They’ve been found everywhere: in rainwater, deep ocean trenches, Arctic snow, and even human organs.
A 2022 study published in Environmental Science & Technology found 94% of U.S. tap water samples contained microplastics, while other studies show bottled water can contain two to three times more. These microscopic particles don’t just pass through the body harmlessly; they’ve been shown to cause oxidative stress, inflammation, and hormonal disruption, particularly affecting reproductive and endocrine systems.
For context, Bryan Johnson’s early results;167 particles per milliliter, were consistent with this kind of environmental accumulation. We encounter microplastics through air, food, and most importantly, unstructured and unfiltered water.
The Water Connection: It’s Not Just About What You Drink
Most people think filtering water is enough...but filtration only removes visible contaminants, not the energetic or molecular imprint left behind by the water’s journey through pipes, pumps, and chemicals. By the time it reaches your faucet, your water is physically clean but energetically depleted.
That’s where Natural Action’s structured water technology makes the difference.
Our Whole Home Systems go beyond filtration. They combine physical purification (using mechanical or carbon filters) with vortex-based revitalization, restoring the natural molecular organization water has in mountain streams. This structured, “revitalized” state helps reduce the clumping behavior of contaminants, improve flow dynamics, and create an environment less conducive to microplastic adhesion and accumulation.
Independent water research; including the work of Dr. Gerald Pollack, author of The Fourth Phase of Water; shows that when water is properly structured, it exhibits a negative charge and a more coherent molecular arrangement. This enhances its ability to flush cellular waste and bind toxins, supporting the body’s detox pathways more effectively than ordinary, chaotic tap water.
What Bryan Johnson’s Results Reveal—And What We Feel He Missed
Bryan Johnson’s attempt to reduce microplastics through sauna and cold therapy reflects a growing awareness that environmental toxins are disrupting human biology. His dedication is admirable...but his approach overlooks a critical source of exposure: the water entering the body daily through drinking, showering, and cooking.
Had he installed a Natural Action Whole Home System, the concentration of microplastics entering his body would have likely been dramatically lower from the start. Structured and filtered water not only reduces physical microplastic load but also helps the body maintain higher hydration efficiency and cellular detox capacity, meaning fewer particles can persist in tissues and fluids over time.
Sauna therapy may support natural detoxification, but it doesn’t address the root cause...continuous re-exposure through contaminated, unstructured water.
The Natural Action Advantage: Beyond Filtration
- Dual Protection: Combine whole-home filtration with natural structuring for cleaner, more vibrant water in every faucet, shower, and appliance.
- Flow-Form Technology: Our patented design mimics the movement of water in nature; spiraling, vortexing, and cascading, to restore molecular balance and energetic coherence.
- No Maintenance, No Chemicals: Unlike filters that need replacing, our flow forms are maintenance-free and designed to last for decades.
- Deeper Hydration, Real Results: Structured water penetrates cells more efficiently, helping flush environmental toxins—including microplastics—while restoring the body’s natural vitality.
Nature Always Gets It Right
In nature, water is never stagnant. It moves, spins, and interacts with minerals and magnetic fields that keep it alive and self-cleansing. When we recreate that same movement and resonance inside our homes, we return water to its optimal state; and give our bodies the foundation they need to thrive.
As awareness around microplastics grows, the conversation shouldn’t just be about removing what’s already inside us, but preventing what enters us in the first place.
Bryan Johnson’s story highlights the urgency of the problem. Natural Action offers the solution nature intended.
