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. Learn how these systems keep you healthy and balanced, and why harsh cleanses or fancy detox kits aren’t the answer.

With simple, practical steps, this episode empowers you to work with your body—not against it—by supporting its natural detox mechanisms.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Lymphatic System: Your body’s built-in waste management system works tirelessly to remove toxins, pathogens, and waste.
  • Signs of Sluggish Lymph Flow: Puffy limbs, fatigue, and brain fog might be clues that your lymphatic system needs support.
  • Detox Pathways: Organs like the liver, kidneys, skin, and gut collaborate to filter and excrete waste efficiently.
  • 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.

Memorable Moments:

  • The Roller Coaster Analogy: How your lymphatic system defies gravity to remove waste.
  • The Liver’s Two Phases of Detox: A simple explanation of how your liver processes toxins for elimination.
  • Sleep as a Detox Tool: Why deep sleep activates your brain’s glymphatic system to clear out toxins.
