Aaron Hartman explains the toxin bucket: you're born with a capacity for toxins, exposures fill it over time, and when your body can't clear them fast enough, the bucket overflows into inflammation and immune problems.

We're all born with a toxin bucket. And in your case, you get exposed and your bucket fills up a little bit and you leave and you take those toxins with you, whereas someone else might empty them out and come back with an empty bucket and have more room to fill. You come back with that bucket that's partially filled and you take on more toxins and you leave. You take those with you, and over time, that bucket's filling up. And over time, you're feeling the effects of that clinically, and we're seeing that in objective data. You're more inflamed, you're more immune, dysregulated.
