Deep dives
Detox capacity and genetic susceptibility to autoimmune conditions
The podcast episode discusses how our genome, which is about a quarter million years old, is wired for caveman ancestral habits. The genome has not changed, but our current toxic food environment poses a problem, especially for those who have the good version of GSTM1 gene. This gene provides a first line of defense in the gut for detoxification. However, if someone with this gene is not careful about their diet, they may develop an autoimmune condition. The podcast explains that genetics is not about good or bad genes, but rather about context and how we use the tools we've been given. It also emphasizes the importance of gut detox and advises keeping a mid-level capacity for today's reality, as the optimal capacity may actually be harmful in our current environment where we are exposed to far more toxins than our ancestors were.
