What if toxins lurking in your body were silently increasing your risk of Alzheimer’s? From heavy metals to environmental pollutants, these hidden threats could accelerate cognitive decline without you knowing.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chris Shade, a detoxification expert and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific, to discuss how toxins impact brain health, why conventional detox methods often fail, and the most effective strategies for clearing harmful substances from the body.

Dr. Shade shares groundbreaking insights on heavy metals, neuroinflammation, the role of bile in detox, and how to optimize your body’s natural detox pathways. If you or a loved one are looking for real solutions to protect brain health, this episode is a must-listen.

Subscribe and listen because detoxing the right way could change everything.

“Bitters–what they do is they stimulate the movement through the liver. You're stimulating detoxification, you're stimulating bile flow, which is stimulating digestion, and that's also keeping infection from the upper GI tract. So, it's cleaning the liver, GI, and the body. It's a one-stop shop to keep everybody healthy.”
