Toxins trigger gut inflammation and leaky gut, allowing endotoxins to reach the brain and cause neuroinflammation. This suppresses your body's detoxification pathways at both organ and cellular levels, leading to the brain fog and cognitive impairment that follows.
What can be done to optimize brain health with all the detoxification pathways?
Toxins are just horrible on the brain. They affect it in so many different ways. They're accelerating the rate of aging. In that gut-brain-immune connection, once the toxic load gets high and the inflammation's building and the toxins are in the GI, the GI has inflammation and the GI is opening up, you're getting leaky gut, and that endotoxemia is going with the toxins up to the brain, stimulating the neuroinflammation of the brain. So the endotoxin is turning down detoxification on a systemic basis by blocking bioflow, blocking the kidney toxin movement, but it works on a cellular level, turning down those cellular protection mechanisms. So you're lowering the defenses and then popping these toxins in and they go to the brain and they're stimulating inflammation in there, which is stimulating free radical damage and creating the fog that is generating the cognitive issues.
