Episode notes

ADVICE

Progressively Build Up Fasting

Build up fasting tolerance by starting with one-day fasts then progress to two- and three-day fasts.
Address microbiome and bile issues before attempting prolonged fasts to avoid diarrhea.

ADVICE

Prefer Liver Detox Over Daily Binders

Use activated charcoal or bentonite clay short-term for digestive bloating or acute toxicity.
Focus on liver phase one/two detox with cruciferous vegetables and fasting for longer-term toxin handling.

INSIGHT

Lifestyle Research Is Underfunded

Lifestyle factors cause the majority of chronic disease yet receive a tiny fraction of research funding.
Dr. Berg argues this reflects financial incentives favoring symptom-management drugs over root-cause prevention.
