FFP 154 | Managing Your Toxic Load | Optimizing Digestion and Liver Function | Dr. Joseph Pizzorno | Dr. Joe Klassen 0

Aug 25, 2017

I have a special compilation episode for you today where I share interviews with two incredible health professionals.

Dr. Pizzorno is one of the world’s leading authorities on science-based natural medicine. In 2000, Dr. Pizzorno was appointed by President Clinton to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy and by President Bush to the Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee in 2002. Dr. Pizzorno is the author or co-author of 10 books, including the internationally acclaimed Textbook of Natural Medicine and the best-selling Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine. He has also recently released his newest Book The Toxin Solution.

In our interview, Dr. Pizzorno talks about toxicity and why we need to be actively reducing our toxic load prior to pregnancy. How to know if you are toxic, and what to do to reduce your toxic load before you start having children. He also shares the true cause of insulin resistance, and spoiler alert it’s not sugar.

Dr. Klassen is a Naturopathic Doctor who works out of Calgary (Alberta). He teaches anatomy & physiology, cellular biology, and pathology at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in Calgary

In our interview, Dr. Klassen talks about liver function and the role of the liver in clearing both our natural estrogens and also synthetic exogenous estrogens and progestins. We talk about hormonal contraceptives, how they impact our endocrine function, and why long-term use is problematic. We also talk about digestion and the critical role digestion plays in maintaining endocrine balance and overall health.

Registration is now open for the next round of my 10 Week Fertility Awareness Mastery Group Program! We're starting the first week off of September 2017. Make sure to head over to the group program page and apply today to reserve your spot.
