Ben Greenfield discusses how synthetic compounds stress your liver's detoxification pathways, which need zinc, glutathione, and B vitamins to work. Nutrient deficiencies and leaky gut impair absorption, reducing glutathione production and letting chemical buildup trigger neurotransmitter imbalances and illness.
You should decrease the amount of chemical burden and foreign molecules in your body.
Is part of that. Because it's difficult on the liver to push all of the. The synthetic compounds from a steroid protocol like that through the detoxification pathways, the.
First pathways of the liver. They're highly dependent on zinc and glutathione and B complex and so forth. So many times we're already deficient in that stuff, right? You throw some leaky gut in there and then you can't absorb those vitamins and minerals and so forth. And then you don't have the glutathione that I believe your body produces about like 12 or 14,000 milligrams a day in average, right? You don't have that stuff. And then all of a sudden that chemical burden starts to increase and starts to increase and starts to increase. And then there's some leaky gut and you can start to have neurotransmitter imbalances too, and so on and so forth. And then all of a sudden you have a human that's starting to get unbalanced and then to ultimately forms dis ease.
