Brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, and hormonal imbalance aren’t random. They’re often the downstream result of a toxic burden the body hasn’t been able to clear.
Dr. Christopher Shade joins Claudia von Boeselager on the Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast to explain how environmental toxins and heavy metals quietly disrupt mitochondria, brain function, and energy systems — and why most approaches to detox don’t address the root of the problem. Dr. Shade breaks down the science of how toxins accelerate inflammation and aging, why glutathione is the central player in cellular detoxification, and why effective detox is a structured process — not a quick fix.
This conversation covers the full drain-move-bind framework, practical tools for supporting liver function and bile flow, and how stress can actively block the detox pathways you’re trying to open.
