Leigh Ann Lindsey welcomes back biochemist Karen Hurd to discuss the science behind detoxification. Karen breaks down complex biochemical processes in a simple manner, explaining what detoxification means on a cellular level and debunking common myths. Leigh Ann introduces Karen's background, including her journey into nutritional biochemistry triggered by her daughter's recovery from pesticide poisoning. Karen shares insights into the body's natural detox systems—liver and kidneys—and emphasizes the importance of soluble fiber found in legumes for effective waste excretion. They discuss dietary recommendations, including avoiding excessively sweet foods and caffeine, and the dangers of unnecessary supplements and products marketed for detoxification. This episode offers a clear, science-backed approach to maintaining a healthy detoxification system through everyday diet and habits.
