EP 31 | Daily Detox: How to Support your Liver and Rid your Body of Heavy Metals, Mold and Other Toxic Exposures with Dr. Jessica Peatross
‘Tis the season for “cleansing,” everyone! You know, when the marketing machine revs up and starts selling you all manner of green elixirs and herbal supplements. In reality, the idea of detox is really all about supporting your elimination pathways, especially your liver. It doesn’t require you to supplement with pills, juice cleanses or anything that promises to flush you in one end or out the other. Your liver is fully capable of healing itself. You just need to get out of its way.
However, in our highly toxic world or after months of bad behavior, our system can require a little push in the right direction. In today’s conversation, we talk all about how to give your detoxification pathways a boost, including giving a thumbs up or down to some trendy tactics like celery juice, infrared sauna, coffee enemas, castor oil packs, and many more.
Joining me is functional medicine practitioner Dr. Jessica Peatross, who shares how she tests patients for high levels of toxicity like heavy metals, mold exposure, and pesticides. We also talk about why someone might not be detoxing properly and the stealth infections—like H. pylori, Lyme, parasites, and candida—that can be the root cause.
