Your multivitamin might be making you sick.


What if the very supplements we think are helping, like Vitamin A, Vitamin D, or so-called superfoods, are quietly sabotaging your liver, calcifying your joints, and draining your energy?


Dr. Garrett Smith calls it like it is.


Known as “The Nutrition Detective,” Dr. Smith has spent the last decade dismantling mainstream nutrition myths and uncovering what he calls a “toxic bile paradigm.” His theory? Vitamin A toxicity is real, widespread, and behind many of today’s chronic illnesses. And that’s just the start.


In this episode, he breaks down why your liver is the real MVP of your health and why most detox advice is dead wrong. You’ll learn how bile works, what’s clogging your detox pathways, and why seemingly healthy choices (like tomatoes, multivitamins, or even certain labs) might be leading you further away from healing.



"Do I consider vitamin A just a toxin? Yes. Do toxins have effects? Absolutely." ~ Dr. Garrett Smith
