The Plastic Detox plot
The documentary follows the stories of six couples facing unexplained fertility issues—some of whom have been trying to conceive for years. Guided by environmental and reproductive epidemiologist Shanna H. Swan, they embark on a three-month effort to drastically reduce their daily exposure to plastic-related chemicals in the hopes of improved health indicators and, ultimately, pregnancy.

Nearly 90-year-old epidemiologist Shanna Swan has been researching the impact of plastic on health for decades. Her studies have been frequently published in scientific journals without anything changing. To draw more attention to her research, she invited six heterosexual couples who have not yet succeeded in fulfilling their wish to have children. Swan helps them eliminate plastic from their daily lives, because the amount of plastic in our bodies has a major impact on fertility. Swan herself admits that this experiment is not conclusive proof and it would have been nice if her research had received more support from colleagues, but the results of the experiment are remarkable and go far beyond fertility.
