Ep. 12 - Phase II Liver Detoxification: Are You Detoxing Correctly?


Listen Later

This episode is a continuation of last week, where I discussed phase I liver detoxification and the importance of efficiently metabolizing toxins in the body. Fortunately, most people's phase I pathways work quite well. However, the problem lies in the efficiency of their phase II detoxification pathways. Think of a human sandbag chain. If the people at the front of the line are working quickly but the people halfway down the chain are working slower, sandbags are going to pile up in the middle. It's the same for your liver! If phase I works efficiently, but phase II is sluggish, toxic metabolites will pile up and have nowhere to go. Unfortunately, this means they usually flow back into the body, which causes negative side effects. 

In this episode, I discuss different foods that help activate your phase II detoxification to effectively remove toxic metabolites from your body.
