Have you ever wondered if your detox routine is actually supporting your longevity goals? In today’s episode of the Longevity podcast, Dr. Chris Shade shares a crucial insight: toxins don't just make you feel bad; they actually accelerate the aging process.

We discuss the importance of detoxification for longevity and overall well-being. We emphasize the need to open the doors of detoxification before initiating any detox protocol and highlight the role of the liver, kidneys, bile flow, and drainage pathways in the detoxification process. Our conversation explains the concept of Herxheimer reactions and provides insights into how to manage them.

Key Takeaways:

Detoxification is essential for longevity and overall well-being, as toxins accelerate the aging process.
Before starting a detox protocol, ensure that the detoxification pathways, including the liver, kidneys, bile flow, and drainage, are open and functioning properly.
Supplements like liposomes, binders, bitters, and progesterone can support detoxification and address specific issues, but caution should be exercised during pregnancy, focusing on supporting drainage and binding rather than releasing more toxins from tissues.
