In this special episode of Be HEALTHistic, naturopathic physician Dr. Drew Sinatra welcomes integrative neurologist and Ayurvedic practitioner, Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary, to discuss detoxification, a practice that has been followed by cultures worldwide for centuries that involves resting, cleansing and nourishing the body from the inside out. Its primary goal is to remove and eliminate toxins while providing the body with essential nutrients. The doctors explain that no matter how “clean living” you are, we’re all exposed to hundreds of chemicals and toxins each day, which is why detoxification needs to be a part of daily life, not just something we do occasionally. The doctors share their advice and practical tips for supporting our body’s natural detoxification processes and how to lower the amount of toxins we take in.

First, the doctors give some examples of the gut-brain connection, and how they each discovered the power of the gut-brain axis. They talk about leaky gut and it’s link to leaky brain, discuss how probiotics can have a positive impact on mental health, and how psychobiotics are designed to support brain health.
