#32 – Detox in a Toxic World, Part 3: Supporting the Body’s Natural Detox Mechanisms

In Part 3 of Detox in a Toxic World, we take a closer look at what “detox” actually means and how the body is already doing it every single day. This episode breaks down the body’s major detox and elimination pathways, including the liver, gut, kidneys, lungs, skin, lymphatic system, and glymphatic system, and explains how these beautifully coordinated processes help clear hormones, waste products, and environmental compounds.We also walk through practical, evidence-based ways to support these natural detox mechanisms, including nutrition, hydration, movement, sweating, lymphatic support, sleep, mind-body medicine, and time in nature.Companion Guide: drmaryellawood.com/guides For more from me beyond the podcast, come hang out on Between Mind & Body on Substack, where I share full podcast transcripts and deeper companion content, essays, physician-created guides, emerging research, and the questions medicine has not quite answered yet.Substack: Between Mind & BodyInstagram: @drmaryellaLinkedIn: Mary Ella Wood, DO, ABOIMIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribing, sharing it with a friend, or leaving a review helps more than you know.
