Drainage Before Detox: Why Your Cleanse Made You Feel Worse - Episode 331

Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!You've been sold the three-day cleanse, the celery juice, the tea with a coupon code. And you've probably also heard a doctor say detox is nonsense because your body already does it on its own. Both are missing the same thing: drainage.In this episode I break down — in plain language — what detoxification actually is, what drainage is, and why one has to come before the other. I walk you through the machinery: the liver, the kidneys, the bowel, the skin, the lungs, and the lymph — the system with no pump, which moves only when you do.Then I get into what changes in midlife. Liver capacity drops. Glutathione declines. Kidney filtration slows decade by decade. Motility slows, and low estrogen and low thyroid make it worse. Estrogen influences how your gallbladder empties and how thick your bile gets, which is why gallbladder issues climb for women at exactly this stage. Menopause isn't only hot flashes and broken sleep. It's a drainage story.I also cover:- Liver phase one and phase two — and the reason phase one can make you feel worse before phase two catches up- The emunctories — your organs of elimination — and the order you have to open them- Biotherapeutic drainage and UNDA: the early-1900s European lineage behind Nebel, Discry and Reuter, and how a plant tincture paired with a homeopathic metal actually targets a specific organ- MTHFR, methylation as a phase two pathway, and my own genetics — held without the internet's drama- Where drainage costs nothing, and the free daily practices I'd start with- My own experience with cysts under the arm, and how I read it- Why emotional stagnation is a terrain too, and what it means to drain the soulNothing here is medical advice. I'm giving you breadcrumbs — take them to a qualified practitioner, one trained specifically in drainage.If this one lands, share it with one person and hit follow.
