About this episode
Is Detox Really Necessary? Why would you consider detox? How to Detox Naturally. These three keys are the focus on this episode. Ever wondered how to detox… or why you should.. and if it’s just a trend, or fad? Your doctor, after all has probably never suggested it. Is it just a quick way to lose 5 lbs before the weekend? Or after hormones have had their way with you? We answer these questions during this episode with a woman who had a front row seat to why detox is necessary and who also knows and teaches how to detox naturally. For her, it’s not a quick fix for the weekend. She’s been doing it for herself – and her familiy - for seven years. You’ll hear how to detox naturally on this episode. Even if there are no signs of mold in your house, you’ll want to hear how your exposure in the past (before we knew better) and incidental exposure now may matter to you. If you’re exercising, and eating “right,” and yet not reaping the rewards, it may not be hormones alone but something else acting on them. Toxins may be getting in the way of your weight loss, and your energy levels. My guest Bridgit Danner has been a licensed acupuncturist since 2004 and certified Functional Diagnostic practitioner since 2015. Her interest in natural health grew from an interest in protecting the environment. Even as a child, she was donating her allowance to Greenpeace and writing cosmetic companies to ask about their practices! While busy running an integrative wellness center in Portland, Oregon, she developed an environmental illness due to toxic mold in her home. Already experienced in hormone management and nutrition, she became acutely aware of the powerful impact of the environment on her health. She and her family lost their house and everything in it to toxic mold, and they moved 1,000 miles to the Arizona desert to heal. Bridgit now educates about toxins and detox through her online community, and coaches women on her functional natural approach to detox. On this episode I play devil's advocate with Bridgit! So if you’ve ever had doubts about detox being necessary or trendy and a fad that will fade… then this is for you! Bridgit shares her story of mold toxicity so you can understand the severity and longevity that it can have. Questions we cover in this episode: Doesn't the body naturally detox every day? Everyone and her sister seems to have a detox. It seems like a giant fad, what's the difference between "good detox" and “bad fad” detox? What are signs you need detox? Aren't these signs for a LOT of things? How do toxins interfere with weight loss? What are obesogens? How are you exposed? I asked Bridgit, How often do you detox?
