About this episode
This interview is an absolute gem with my friend, Dr. Russell Jaffe, who is a true authority in the field. He's renowned as the brilliant mind behind the ELISA test for heavy metal sensitivities and has an extensive range of fantastic detoxification supplements. Dr. Jaffe is a featured speaker in my upcoming Heavy Docuseries, set to launch on Valentine's Day in 2024. He also just released a remarkable new book, "How to Thrive in the 21st Century," which delves into the world of nutrition and optimizing it for detoxification. In today's podcast, we're diving deep into various topics, from the significance of vitamin C to essential nutrients like magnesium, the top five daily detox foods, and the importance of choline in enhancing magnesium's effects. Dr. Jaffe will enlighten us on how tripling your magnesium intake can revolutionize detox, while benefiting your brain, heart, digestion, and metabolism. We'll also explore how the presence of heavy metals in your body leads to free radicals, diminishing your antioxidant defenses and hastening the aging process. This, in turn, slows down your metabolism, making it easier to gain weight. There's an abundance of valuable insights in this episode, and I can't wait to share it all with you. On today's podcast, you will learn: Russell Jaffe's protocol for living to 120. The top foods to help your body detox daily. The importance of proper mineralization. The relationship between heavy metal toxicity and disease. How to help reverse diabetes and obesity. Russell Jaffe's approach to diet and cuisine.
