Summary

Our bodies naturally have the ability to detoxify and do it every single day. However, problems can develop, and that's not uncommon with autoimmune disease. The answer isn't an aggressive "cleanse" where we try to force our bodies to do a year's worth of detox in 30 days. Instead, we need to support our bodies year-round. There are foods that support our detox pathways, and foods that can interfere with them. That's what today's podcast is all about. My guest is Andrea Nakayama, a world-renowned functional nutritionist and educator, whose mission is to change the way we do healthcare by empowering patients to reclaim ownership over their own health.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Phoenix Helix podcast dedicated to maximizing autoimmune health through the
0:06.0	paleo-autoimmune protocol and functional medicine. While there is no cure for autoimmune disease,
0:11.8	the choices we make every day can have a powerful impact on how we feel. I'm Eileen Laird, your host from
0:17.9	PhoenixHelix.com, and I reduced my rheumatoid arthritis pain by 95%, which took me from a life of
0:25.4	excruciating pain and disability back to a full and beautiful life. A short disclaimer, I'm neither a
0:32.4	doctor nor a nutritionist and the opinions expressed here are personal. Always consult with
0:37.1	your health care team before making
0:38.6	medical decisions. Now let's get on to the show.
1:04.8	Welcome to Episode 183. Our topic today is detoxifying foods. You often hear about detox cleanses where you take a supplement for 30 days to clean your system and then ignore detoxification the other 11 months of the year.
1:13.4	This isn't a very nice way to treat our bodies. In fact, many people experience uncomfortable
1:18.2	side effects with those types of aggressive cleanses. So today, we're taking a more holistic
1:24.5	approach and one that's more effective long term. I have a detox series
1:29.2	on my website and I'll include a link in the show notes. It's a variety of articles and podcasts
1:34.5	addressing this from all angles. It is not all about the food, yet food plays a key role. Some foods
1:42.0	interfere with our body's ability to detoxify, while others provide
1:46.3	nutrients that we need to do it successfully. So that's the focus of our conversation today. My guest is
1:53.2	Andrea Nakayama. You might be familiar with her from past podcasts because she's one of my most
1:58.4	popular guests. She is a world-renowned functional nutritionist,
2:03.0	educator and speaker whose mission is to change the way we do health care by empowering patients
2:09.1	to reclaim ownership over their own health. Welcome back to the show, Andrea. Thank you so much,
2:15.7	Eileen. I have a big smile on my face. I'm just happy to spend time with you
2:19.3	and your audience. Yay. Me too. I always enjoy our conversations. Before we dive in, though, let's give a
