Foundations of Resilient Health: a Wellness Series with Elizabeth Greenfield

Part 1: The Truth About Toxins: How to Support Your Body's Natural Detox Pathways

We'll explore what detoxification really means (hint: it's not about juice cleanses), the hidden impact of daily exposures like pesticides and plastics, and simple, effective strategies to support the body's natural detox systems.

Key topics:

• What "detox" really means (liver, lymph, kidneys - not juice cleanses)
• Everyday exposures: pesticides, plastics, personal care products
• Why detox slows with age, hormone shifts, or gut/liver burden
• The role of fiber, sweat, movement, and targeted nutrients
• Simple swaps and lifestyle strategies to lower your toxic load

Common concerns this addresses:

• Brain fog, fatigue, skin issues, "mystery" symptoms
• Wanting to feel lighter/cleaner, but unsure how
• Frustration with fads and ineffective detox products
