Welcome to Natural MD Radio, your place to hear the whole truth on health and

medicine for women and children and get the tools you need to take back your health

naturally starting now. I'm Dr. Aviva Rong. Hi everybody and welcome to Natural MD radio.

This is Aviva Ram and I am here to talk with you today about a really big topic and that is is

detoxification a real thing now in my last episode with you I talked about how overly

detoxing or overly cleansing can tank your thyroid and

how this causes the body to hit the circuit breaker.

And what I said to you in that

episode I promised that I would do an upcoming episode on what detoxification

really is and again this is a very big topic So I want to talk with you over the series of a few episodes,

which may or may not come exactly consecutively

because there may be a couple of guests that pop up in between, but over the next few weeks about what

detoxification really is and is it something that we need to know about?

So in this first part today I want to talk about detoxification and something called body burden.

Because body burden is really where the crux of detoxification comes in and where the really true meaning of detoxification is and what

we can do to support our bodies in times where we're exposed to potential significant amount of environmental triggers that lead to many of the

symptoms we have and many of the cleans and detox programs that we find out there on the market.

So first I want to introduce you to a patient of mine.

Her name is Laura, and she's struggling with hormonal imbalances.

She's a 34-year-old mom of three young kids,

and she works as a human resource director

at a not-for-profit organization.
