#410: Dr Koz on How Environmental Toxins Impact Hormones, Strengthening Your Immune System and Doing A Mould Or Heavy Metal Detox Correctly!
Dr Koz is a Functional Medicine M.D who uses a broad array of tools to find the source of the body's dysfunction: he takes the time to listen to his patients and plots their history on a timeline, considering what makes them unique and co-creating with them a truly individualized care plan. You may recognise his voice from a very popular episode I did last year, Episode: #352 on 25th October 2021: Dr Peter Kozlowski on Food Sensitivities, Fixing Leaky Gut and How To Do An Elimination Diet Correctly! His expertise is in gut health, but he also works daily with food sensitivities, hormone imbalances, detoxing from toxic chemicals such as heavy metals and mould, and most importantly mental, emotional, and spiritual health. His new book Get The Func Out is available now. Normally I wouldn't touch a topic like environmental toxins on the podcast as it's an area I know very little about; but I think there is value here for those with underlying health issues that are struggling to ask the right questions for solutions. I also moved out of my house off the back of this podcast to address a mould issue; so, I found great personal benefit in this episode. Here are some of the things we talked about: Why estrogen dominance in women and low testosterone in men is so prevalent at the moment How to do a mould or heavy metal detox the safe way His supplemental and nutrition strategy for never getting colds or flus The power of glutathione as the master antioxidant And more Website: http://doc-koz.com/ Previous episode: https://briankeanefitness.com/podcast/352-dr-peter-kozlowski-on-food-sensitivities-fixing-leaky-gut-and-how-to-do-an-elimination-diet-correctly/
