🔍 In this episode, we unpack:

• Why “healthy switching” (from milk to soy to almond to oat… or tap to bottled to filtered water) never feels like enough

• How toxins overwhelm the body and get stored in cells, bones, organs—even the brain

• The role of epigenetics in helping us influence health outcomes in a toxic world

• Our stewardship and responsibility where do we learn this from… see 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
  

• Common toxins you need to know: BPA, cadmium, lead, and flame retardants (and why flame retardants can block thyroid function)
  

• Nutrient depletion from toxins: how they interfere with B vitamins, selenium, and folate—affecting energy, fertility, and repair
  

• Detox genetics: MTHFR vs. GST–GPX pathways, and why some people are the “early warning systems” for chemical exposure
  

• Case study: Lorraine—severe brain fog linked to mercury levels 10x higher than normal!
  

• Why autoimmune is not a true diagnosis but a sign of a body under toxic assault
  

• Practical steps to reduce household toxins—and how to access our free Toxic Toolkit at FireYourDr.com
  

📖 Spiritual Reflection:

“The land cannot be sold permanently because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers. Throughout the land that you hold, you must provide for the redemption of the land.” — Leviticus 25:23–24 (NIV)

God calls us to stewardship—not just of our own bodies, but of the land He created. Detox is both a physical act and a spiritual responsibility: clearing what contaminates so redemption and healing can take place.

🔍 In this episode, we unpack:

• Why toxins are the obstacle to cure in naturopathic medicine—and why labs decline when the body is overloaded

• The uncomfortable truth: it’s easy to blame “them,” but what we consume feeds the toxic cycle

• Environmental toxins that overwhelm detox pathways: plastics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and industrial waste
  

• How clogged drainage funnels and detox organs keep the body from healing

• Conventional medicine’s dismissive response: “It’s genetic,” “It’s autoimmune,” or “It’s all in your head”

• Real-world toxic exposure examples:

• • Oil spills in North Dakota

  • Water contamination in Poplar, Montana and Flint, Michigan
    

  • The Valley of the Drums in Kentucky (PCBs and dioxins)

• Why pollution and poverty are linked—and why the poor suffer most from environmental collapse

• Why “going green” isn’t enough—real solutions require stewardship and addressing global poverty

• Common toxins found in patient panels: heavy metals, pesticides, phthalates, BPA, and mold

• How naturopathic medicine’s focus on removing the obstacle to cure restores the body’s healing capacity
  

📖 Spiritual Reflection:

“Earth is polluted by its very own people, who have broken its laws, disregarded the rules, and violated the covenant everlasting.” — Isaiah 24:5 (MSG)

Healing starts with stewardship—caring for the bodies and the earth God entrusted to us. When we face toxins honestly and embrace God’s design, restoration becomes possible.

⬅️ This episode continues directly from Episode 19: Redeeming the Mind (Part 1), where we began unpacking how God transforms our mental health beyond just chemical signals.

🔍 In this episode, we unpack:

• Attachment theory: what we watch is what we repeat, and how attachment styles shape adult relationships

• The importance of boundaries, oxytocin, and bonding in relational and emotional health

• IQ vs EQ: why emotional intelligence matters more than intellectual intelligence in resilience and healing

• The four parts of discipline: delayed gratification, acceptance of responsibility, dedication to truth, and balance

• Why mentally healthy people may still “suffer in growth” as old patterns are challenged

• Why the mind is more than a chemical process—how integrating nervous system signals and emotional recalibration is essential for true healing
  

📖 Spiritual Reflection:

“Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out...” — Romans 12:2 (MSG)

When we align with God’s design, unhealthy attachment patterns are released, emotional intelligence matures, and discipline becomes the foundation for wholeness in both mind and spirit.
