207. Is Your Body Too Overloaded to Detox?

October 01, 2026

In this episode, I talk with Jeff Hoyt about how the body handles toxins and why detoxification is more than simply removing harmful substances. We discuss the roles of the gut and liver, how stress may affect the body's ability to clear toxins, why aggressive detox can backfire, and what parents should consider before adding binders or other detox strategies. We also discuss heavy metals, EMFs, and the importance of supporting the body's overall health first. - - - - - About the Guest: Jeff ...

Most importantly, I share ways adults can model stronger connection and help children build more room to regulate, engage, and learn. - - -...
