148: The Silent Performance Killer: How Toxins Are Stealing Your Edge

Send us a text

Tired of feeling sluggish on race day? The secret performance killer might be hiding in plain sight. Your body is battling an unprecedented toxic load—exhaust fumes, tire dust, brake particles, travel stress—and it's costing you energy, focus, and longevity.

That common dismissal you've heard—"detox is just hype because your liver already knows how to detoxify"—is a dangerous half-truth. While your liver is indeed designed to filter toxins, it's processing 10 pints of blood every six minutes in an environment it was never built to handle. When overwhelmed, those toxins don't just disappear—they accumulate in fat tissue and sometimes even the brain, silently degrading your performance and health.

Think about it: Would you run a full racing season without changing your engine oil or filter? Of course not. Yet many motorsport professionals push their bodies through years of intense demands without equivalent maintenance. A functional medicine detox isn't about juice cleanses or bathroom emergencies—it's a scientifically designed reset that provides your liver with exactly what it needs for proper phase one and phase two detoxification. This strategic process reduces inflammation, balances hormones, restores cellular energy, and delivers mental clarity unlike anything you've experienced.

By implementing a quarterly seven-day detox protocol, you're not just optimizing today's performance—you're protecting decades of future health. The real race isn't just on the track; it's ensuring your body doesn't quit before your mission is complete. Ready to feel the difference?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Maybe you've heard it before detox is just hype.
Your liver already knows how todetoxify.
And while that sounds nice,let's get real, because that is
only half the truth.
In today's world, andespecially in racing, you're
exposed to more toxins than yourbody was ever designed to

(00:20):
handle Exhaust fumes, tire dust,brake particles, fuel oil,
paints.
Add in long travel days, poorfood options on the road and the
stress of mid-season pressure.
Your system is overloaded, andwhen your liver can't keep up,
toxins don't just vanish, theybuild up.

(00:42):
And when they build up, theyslow you down.
They are silently taking yearsoff of your performance and your
longevity.
In today's program, we're goingto bust myths and reveal the
science behind your energy, yourfocus and your performance
using safe, natural andclinically proven

(01:02):
high-performance health.
Stay tuned.
Hello, I'm Jeffrey Morton.
If you're like most in NASCAR'stop tiers drivers, crews,
owners or executives whileyou're busy chasing podiums,

(01:25):
have you fully considered who'staking care of you?
Right here, you're about tostart transforming your mind and
body for peak race dayperformance with High
Performance Health designedexclusively for the demands of
NASCAR.
As a certified High PerformanceHealth coach and consulting
hypnotist, I've coached eliteentrepreneurs and athletes to
higher energy, sharper focus andgreater resilience naturally,

(01:50):
safely and backed by science.
And right now I'm bringing thatsame engineered approach to the
best in motorsports.
Here you'll find no wasted time, just a unique blend of
integrative health, mentalconditioning and proven recovery
strategies, delivered in plainlanguage, that you can use right

(02:10):
away.
Imagine a season withoutburnout, brain fog or the costly
crash of your health, because,the truth is, the real race

(02:37):
starts within.
I'm grateful you're here,health coach.
Your questions?
Okay, let's get started.
Here is the myth your liverdetoxes itself, so you don't
need to worry about detoxprograms.
Well, here's the truth.
Your liver detoxes itself onlyif it has the right nutrients at

(02:59):
the right time, and later inthis episode you're going to
discover exactly how you can dothis in the safest way possible.
Another myth is that detoxmeans that you'll be racing to
the toilet all day.
Nope, I wouldn't want that foranyone, especially my
high-performance health clients.
The truth is that the exactopposite in most cases, meaning

(03:23):
the digestive system is giving,is given a free pass and as far
as a few days of well-neededrest.
So when you hear me talk abouta functional medicine detox,
we're really shutting downdigestion for about 66 hours
actually, so a couple days and ahalf.

(03:46):
So I want you to think of itthis way your liver is like the
oil filter in your engine.
It's constantly cleaning,removing impurities so that
performance stays smooth, andthe difference is your liver is
trying to filter about 10 pintsof blood every six minutes.

(04:07):
Most people don't realize thatthe liver is working that hard
24-7.
While you're awake, whileyou're sleeping, as long as your
heart is beating, it's pumpingthat blood.
So think of your heart as youroil pump in your engine.
The blood is the oil and yourliver is like your filter 10
pints of blood every six minutes.
Now let me ask you this Wouldyou run a full season with the

(04:31):
same engine, oil and filter?
Of course not.
You know exactly what wouldhappen, and the same goes for
your liver and your health, ifit can't keep up with the load.
Talking about toxins that thosetoxins will circulate and
eventually get stored away infat tissue it's called adipose
tissue and in some cases even inthe brain, and that's where

(04:54):
fatigue, brain fog, inflammationand long-term dis-ease of the
body risk start stacking up, asyou'll discover.
I'm here to help you to keepthat from happening.
Now let's connect the dots here.
Let's connect this to yourworld.
In motorsports toxic exposure,it's on another level,

(05:20):
constantly breathing in exhaustand rubber particles and brake
dust and solvents almost everysingle day.
And then travel adds processedfoods, dehydration,
electromagnetic frequencies anddisrupted sleep and in a lot of
cases shops and garages canoften lack clean airflow.

(05:42):
Now every one of thoseexposures adds to your toxic
load and that load acceleratescellular aging.
It increases risk of heartdisease, of cancer, of
neurodegeneration, so that'sdegeneration of the brain, the
very things that rob not justyears but quality years from

(06:05):
your life.
And this is why I tell clientsin our legacy program, longevity
isn't optional.
Clients, in our legacy program,longevity isn't optional, it's
the main event, because beinghere, being sharp, being strong
for your family, for yourbusiness and for your legacy,
that is the real win.
So here's where the sciencereally gets practical.

(06:27):
A seasonal functional medicinedetox every 90 days.
What does this do?
It resets your system.
How does it do that?
It reduces inflammation.
It balances hormones.
It clears out toxins beforethey accumulate.
If they're already accumulated,it helps to release those
toxins.
It restores mitochondrialenergy.

(06:49):
This is where the energy isactually created in the cells of
your body.
The true fuel for your brainand body comes from the
mitochondria.
It's called atp or adenosinetriphosphate.
You don't need to know that,but this detox also generates a
level of mental clarity unlikeanything that I've experienced,
and that's why I do this myselfpersonally every 90 days.

(07:12):
So think of it like this.
Think of it like a pit stop foryour liver and your overall
health.
No team would ever run anentire race without swapping out
tires and refueling, so whywould you run an entire year or
for some, a lifetime withoutscheduled resets and maintenance
for your body?

(07:33):
So let's clear the air.
When I say detox, I'm nottalking about fad juice cleanses
or starvation diets.
I'm talking about thefunctional medicine detox
protocol.
It's created by my coach and mymentor, board-certified
naturopathic doctor, stephenCabral, and our partner in
functional medicine, equal Life.

(07:55):
So this protocol it'sscientifically designed to give
your liver the exact nutrientsneeded for phase one and phase
two detox pathways.
Most people are getting phaseone nutrients you know those are
like B vitamins and magnesiumand iron and things like that

(08:15):
but most people are missing outon the phase two detox nutrients
to open up those phase twopathways.
So this program combinesintermittent fasting, clean,
functional shakes and targetedsupplementation and the result
that you get is that your bodyprocesses toxins safely instead

(08:35):
of getting stuck.
So you might be wondering whatdo you notice, jeff?
What do you notice on thisfunctional detox?
You will notice improved energyand focus, balanced hormones,
better sleep and recovery and areal boost in long-term
resilience.
Now you're probably alsowondering how long does this
take?
Well, some of these resultscome in a matter of just a

(08:57):
couple of days.
This program, this protocol, iscreated for seven days.
So seven days you get someamazing results.
I always tell clients andfriends and family and coworkers
I recommend this to anybodyover the age of 17 years old.
As long as the liver is fullydeveloped, it's generally safe

(09:19):
to do and, of course, if you'reunder the guidance of a
physician, you should alwayscheck with your medical
prescribing physician for anycontraindications.
Now, that's my disclaimer here.
I can't claim to diagnose,treat or cure any disease or
give any medical advice, butyou're going to see a real boost
in long-term resilience overthe course of seven days.

(09:42):
Or if you want to do two weeks,you can do a 14 day.
So it's basically the sameseven day program done twice.
Or, if you've never done onebefore, I highly recommend a
21-day functional medicine detoxto get things started and to
set these healthy habits inplace and get the most results
Absolutely amazing.
So let's zoom out here a littlebit.

(10:02):
We kind of went micro a littlebit.
Let's go macro, we'll zoom out.
Detox isn't about a quickcleanse before beach season.
It's about stacking decades ofhealth.
So for drivers, for crews, forexecutives, it's about staying
sharp and resilient year afteryear.
And for legacy leaders, it'sabout making sure that the body

(10:24):
doesn't quit before the missionis done.
And when you support yournatural detox system every 90
days, you're not just optimizingperformance today, you're
protecting your future.
So the final lap for today, andreally the bottom line if
you've dismissed detox as hype,it's time to reconsider.

(10:46):
Science proves toxins accumulateand the cost is your energy
today and your longevitytomorrow.
That's why we recommend thisseasonal functional detox every
single 90 days.
