Serious Detox and Methylation

Once good digestion is happening, you’re absorbing minerals and pooping properly, the stage is set to get any nastier stuff out of the body. For this step, your liver needs to be ready for battle. That’s why it’s last.

Heavy metal toxicity, in particular, needs to be handled delicately. I recommend reading this information from Chris Shade, PhD on detoxing from heavy metals. Note that while you can do some of the initial steps yourself, it’s advised to work with a qualified practitioner when you get to the latter chelation (binding) steps as heavy metals are released from cells into your bloodstream.

Dr. Mark Hyman has a great video about methylation, a key process that occurs billions of times every second in your body.

Dr. Olivia Joseph talks about MTHFR, a genetic mutation that effects 40% of people. I love her approach that explains how to test for and deal with this yourself.
