Detoxification is a trendy word these days - but unfortunately it’s often misunderstood and misused in its application. Diet culture has led people to believe that detoxification involves restrictive juice cleanses and skinny teas, while the anti-diet culture backlash to this messaging touts that if you have a liver and kidneys - you’re detoxifying.Both of these extremes are inaccurate and have the potential to cause harm. Our bodies are incredibly intelligent and while we do have built in detoxification systems - our modern world has made it more challenging for your body to do its job well.In this episode, Abby & Jillian do a deep dive into detoxification and the much less talked about but equally important topic of drainage. Debunk common myths around detoxification and understand why efficient detoxification and drainage processes are essential for the health of your gut and hormones. Enjoy this foundational episode as Abby & Jillian guide you through in-depth conversations on the different phases of detoxification and provide action steps for you to take with your nutrition and lifestyle to help your body “take out the trash” for a healthy gut and hormones.Studies:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4488002/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28778332/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5479690/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666334122000356https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fendo.2021.706532/fullhttps://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/37/7/1951/37842/Exposure-to-Persistent-Organic-Pollutantshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15035900/https://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/15/4/1416https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18362322/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9294217/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23168567/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21367689/Personal Care Products:Beauty CounterFollainCredoEndocrine Disruptor Resources:Skin Deep DatabaseEndocrine Disruptor ExchangePesticides:Dirty dozen Clean fifteenJillian Greaves:WebsiteInstagramEat To Heal Your
