Dr. Chris ShadeMay 7, 2026

Breaking down the science of the human detoxification system and why it’s essential for long-term health, Dr. Christopher Shade explains how environmental toxins, food-borne exposures, and chronic stress can overload the body, and why efficient detox depends on the seamless function of all three detoxification phases. With a deep focus on glutathione—the body’s master detoxifier—this talk reveals how restoring and balancing these pathways is key to reducing toxic burden, improving resilience, and supporting optimal wellness.
