Summary

There have been many claims made about the benefits of a detoxification "protocol" or "plan", based on specific dietary and supplemental regimens. Many of the arguments propose that many things we come into contact with are toxins and they can accumulate and compound in effect over time, causing a range of issues. Therefore, by removing these toxins (via a “detoxification protocol”), we can have better health.

And indeed it is well known that there are a large number of toxins in the environment, many of which can potentially be deleterious to health. And it also known that many nutrients are involed in processes of the body's detoxification pathways.

However, is there any evidence that a detoxification diet, plan or "protocol" improves health? Is there any reason to suggest targeting certain nutrients or supplements leads to "better detoxification"? And do we need to avoid non-organic food, toothpaste and non-stick frying plans in avoid to avoid these toxins? This Quack Asylum episode evaluates these claims.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio.
0:17.3	You're listening into a special Quack As asylum episode of the podcast today. I am Danny
0:23.4	Lennon and of course here beside me as usual is Alan Flanagan rejuvenated after a weekend in the Netherlands.
0:31.7	I hope you are feeling fresh and good. Yes, a weekend of reveling.
0:45.1	So, yeah, I'm definitely mentally refreshed if not necessarily the freshest in body,
0:47.4	but that will come another few nights. Yeah, well, then today's episode is probably timely for you if you're interested in detoxifying
0:52.1	yourself after the weekend.
0:56.4	Exactly. It may be needed i did i did a q and a monday and one of the i didn't get around to answering this one because it
1:03.6	came in late but i saw it the next day was like uh you know are there any you know tips or vitamins
1:09.3	that you know i can take to recover after you know after a festival any, you know, tips or vitamins that, you know, I can take to recover after,
1:11.9	you know, after a festival? I was like, uh, no. So, yeah, believe me, I'd be doing it.
1:21.7	So as a way to maybe introduce our topic, I thought I'd actually hand it over to one of our quack asylum favorites
1:29.8	that we've maybe discussed on before and much of his claims will be discussed today. And this is
1:34.9	from a segment of Dr. Mark Hyman's podcast where he is talking to a member of his team that works
1:40.3	at his clinic on how they deal with some of the detoxification issues we're going to talk through today. So I thought maybe as a way to introduce what we'll talk about, he can do a
1:49.0	better job than I can. And today we're going to be talking about detoxification and toxicity and the
1:55.2	burden of toxins in a world. Now, it doesn't relate to a specific condition because toxins can cause
2:00.7	a whole range
2:02.1	of problems. Right. And we're going to get into the details of it. But first, I want to welcome me to the
2:07.8	doctor's pharmacy, Megan. Oh, thank you. I'm happy to be here. And I'm excited about this topic.
2:11.8	It's a really important one and one we see, you know, really impacting so many of the people we see here.
2:18.2	It's really true. I mean, the two things that impacting so many of the people we see here. It's really true.
