What I Eat To Boost Detoxification

Personally, when I go to the grocery store, I'm looking for drugs. I'm looking for the drugs in food that help upregulate the pathways in my own body that I know I need to boost detoxification. In the next case, we're going to talk about some of the genetics involved in impaired detoxification. But for me, I have really crappy detox genes. So, I'm not great at making glutathione. So, I always make sure I eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables. Every day, two, three cups of broccoli, collards, kale, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, whatever I can get my hands on, I make make sure that's a staple of my diet. And I also make sure that I'm eating things like garlic and onions. I'm using things like artichoke hearts and artichokes, which are great detoxifiers, and many other phytochemicals, rosemary, lime, lemon, peel, and many things we use every day to help us boost our own pathways. But, you know, in a very sophisticated way in functional medicine, we understand how to turn on all the superhighways of detoxification using food, using amino acids, which are from protein, and you didn't mention this, but protein is super important for detoxification because a lot of the pathways involve amino acids. Also need the right B vitamins to methylate and get rid of the metals. We also need certain nutrients like selenium and zinc to help us boost our detox system. And of course, what you mentioned also is very important. It's not just taking all these things to rev up the detox process, but also to make sure we're getting rid of it, which means we need binders in the gut, things like silica or algenates and other binders, pectins, which can help to bind the metals so you don't reabsorb them and you, you know, you get rid of them from your body. And what happens is just Breaking it.
