Summary:

In Episode 7 of your body speaks, Dr. Brook Sheehan explores your body’s innate ability to cleanse and clear itself of toxins. Discover the incredible processes happening every second within your lymphatic system and detox pathways.

  • Debunking Detox Myths: Sweating alone isn’t enough, and detox isn’t just for when you’re sick—it’s happening 24/7!
  • Daily Detox Habits: How simple practices like dry brushing, lemon water, and prioritizing sleep can support your body’s cleansing and clearing processes.
