Key Takeaways:

Toxins are Everywhere: From lead in cassava to heavy metals in drinking water, toxins infiltrate our daily lives. Dr. Jess emphasizes that while avoidance is important, building resilience is key.

Detox Pathways Matter: Sweating, opening drainage pathways (liver, kidneys, lymph), and restoring mineral balance are crucial for effective detoxification.

Hidden Sources of Illness: Chronic issues like fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog often stem from mold exposure, root canal infections, or breast implants. A thorough history and testing are vital for pinpointing root causes.

Mind-Body Connection: Trauma and Stress can hinder the body’s ability to detox. Healing requires addressing emotional health and restoring balance to the nervous system.

Practical Detox Tools:

• Infrared saunas for sweating out toxins.
• Nano-glutathione and minerals to displace heavy metals.
• Holistic dentistry to resolve dental-related health issues.
