Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

I want to talk about a surprising way to cleanse toxic kidneys. What you have to realize

is that the kidney is just as important as the liver in detoxification. In fact, they work

together because the liver does something called phase one, phase two detoxification.

And this is where you have various enzymes that are turning that soluble poisons into harmless

water soluble particles. So both the gallbladder with its bile and the kidney help to eliminate

these water soluble particles that used to be fat soluble poisons. So if there's any problem

with the liver where you don't get this water soluble breakdown product, then it overloads the

kidney and the other parts of the digestive tract. So it's very, very important to have each detoxification

organ to be working to share the load. So the liver gets hammered with xenobiotics, which are

just like chemicals in the environment, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, things like that,

steroid byproducts from your own body's production of steroids. That would be like estrogen,

progesterone, cortisol, things like that. And then drugs, medications just hammer the liver

and the kidneys. Then we have glyphosate, which is an entire food supply. Not to mention it's in the

water, it's in foods, it's all over the place. Then you have things like PCBs, which are chemicals

in plastics. So the water bottle that you drink, the plastic that you microwave your lunch in,

all can leach out these chemicals. And your liver and your kidney have to deal with them.

So each year, more chemicals are being pumped out and an environment is becoming more and more

toxic. So our bodies are having to deal with this and detoxify them. So the kidneys

get rid of certain protein byproducts and eliminate urea, ammonia, and uric acid. And so if there's

kidney weakness, those things can build up and create toxicity. And so the kidney really is
