The Missing System in Healing: Lymph, Toxins, and Why You’re Still Stuck

In this episode of The Shift Podcast, Heidi and Dr. Vohn Watts are joined by Dr. Stephanie Canestraro, a functional medicine practitioner with extensive experience working with high-performing athletes and complex chronic illness. Dr. Canestraro shares her personal health journey — from unexplained neurological symptoms and misdiagnoses to discovering the deeper role of toxins, infections, frequency, and the lymphatic system in healing. Together, they break down why many people stay stuck even when they’re “doing all the right things,” and why detox without proper drainage can actually make symptoms worse. This conversation explores lymphatic flow, nervous system regulation, environmental exposures, EMFs, and why healing requires reducing load — not forcing fixes. If you’ve tried protocols, supplements, or detoxes without lasting change, this episode offers a clearer, more sustainable framework for understanding what your body actually needs.On the show, Dr. Vohn Watts, a chiropractor and founder of Foundational Wellness, shares his insights on how the body functions as a whole system, along with the principles he uses to help people get on the path to better health.Please remember, the information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.
