Detoxification, also known as biotransformation, too often can be over simplified and made "gimmicky" by many wanting to simplify an incredibly deep and complicated process. This process of taking chemicals and eliminating them from our cells, tissues and circulation and moving them out of our body is incredibly important and when it becomes problematic can lead to numerous health issues that are not always immediately correlated with impaired detox. Some providers and health coaches like to sell detox as a simplified process requiring a protocol of supplements and products and unfortunately this "protocol" approach is not always the right fit for many with ongoing health issues.
To make matters worse, it is very common for the traditional medical world to underestimate the world of detox and how essential this process is to the human body. When you hear the list of side effects certain medications have, often these are due to their impact to our detox and processing pathways. When we look at the world of genetics and why some are more vulnerable to certain medications, again this often is due to how these genetic snips impact our liver pathways involved with processing certain chemicals. These points illustrate the vital importance of optimal and intact detoxification pathways and enzymatic processes.
In this episode we review the numerous considerations that should go into supporting this process, from routine labs to cell health and mitochondrial health. We also look at reviewing one's history and what aspects from their history may indicate the need to pause and address other areas of health first or a more specific approach to supporting the patient. From thyroid health to anemias, we want to shed light on why the entire patient, their history and current inflammatory burden, should all influence the approach to considering detoxification.
We hope you find this episode informative as well as supportive in your health education journey.
Yours in health,
