My Heavy Metal Detox Strategy

There are many different philosophies in the natural health world about where people should start with their health. Some focus on increasing carbs, some focus on increasing protein, some focus on both. I've heard people in the Ray Peat community say that heavy metal detox is a fad and its not important. For the first half of the show I break down why I think its a great place to start, the biochemistry of exactly how heavy metals harm our cells, how car exhaust contributes to their accumulation, and my thoughts on tracking using HTMA and the Oligoscan. In the second half I talk about solutions, starting with the most affordable to the least affordable. I reference a study looking at the difference in heavy metal excretion of 5 metals using sweating in a sauna or sweating during exercise and which one they found to be more effective. I talk about why I supplement magnesium, zinc, shilajit, and high dose melatonin everyday, and how fiber and high dose zeolite powder can also help. This is by no means a comprehensive show that includes every nuance of heavy metal toxicity. The focus was to make it interesting, digestible, and share actionable steps no matter where you are financially.
