The accumulation of toxins in the body starts at birth and is linked with hormonal imbalance, impaired immune function, nutritional deficiency, and an inefficient metabolism. The words ‘cleanse’, ‘detox’, and ‘intermittent fasting’ have become buzzwords in today’s health and wellness-focused culture and, in this episode, Dr. Minni Malhotra addresses fasting and whether or not it can actually help you rid your body of these accumulated toxins. A lot of people think that going on a juice cleanse, taking a colon cleanse, or just taking an over-the-counter product to detox will help them rid their bodies of toxins, while also supporting all of their organs. However, if even one organ is not functioning well, you will experience the ill effects of retaining toxins, like inflammation, disease production, hormonal imbalance, and many other health concerns, so it’s really important to educate yourself about detoxing, and understand how to do it in a holistic manner. Tune in today to find out more!

“Majority of the toxins that accumulate without getting out of your body are fat soluble compounds. In order for these toxins to be safely and efficiently removed from the body, they need to be transformed, or they need to be changed, because fat soluble compounds cannot go out of your body. They have to be converted into water soluble compounds and then you get rid of it through your bile, that is your gallbladder, your liver.” — Dr. Minni Malhotra [0:01:38]
“While it is okay to do some kind of detox, but if you don't know the status of your detoxification pathways, it can actually be more harmful than of benefit.” — Dr. Minni Malhotra [0:09:23]
“When you start a fasting regime, I would advise, if you don't know your status of your detoxification pathways, because there are tests which will tell you. If you don't, then what I would suggest is to go very slow. While it can help you detoxify, it may also cause the opposite that when you're detoxifying, it can cause you more harm.” — Dr. Minni Malhotra [0:11:44]
