How To Detox And Find The Root Cause Of Why You Feel Sick

Now, in my introduction, I touched on how you spent many years feeling unwell and how doctors dismissed you because, according to the tests, you were fit and healthy.

And I know many people listening...

We'll be able to relate to this.

And I think most of us would just think, well, that's it then.

The medical experts have told me that I'm well.

I just need to accept this and get on with life.

And this is how I'm going to feel from now on.

I know that you didn't do that.

You weren't going to give up on your health without a fight.

And you went out and you did what most people probably wouldn't.

And you found the root cause of why you weren't feeling right.

And once you had found it, you set about setting it right.

So could you tell us a little bit more about how you were feeling and how it was impacting your life? And also, I suppose, your experience of the healthcare system and why it was failing you?

I, it was, it was, I'll just share the, the initial precipitating experience.

I think that's probably most helpful because I was, I was working in the system as a dialysis dietician when I found out that my kidneys were, were failing.

And I went to one of the nephrologists that I was working with and I said, hey, can we, you know, would you be concerned about this? He goes, well, come see me in the office.

And we sat and we had a conversation and, and he said, well, you know, you're, you look pretty healthy.

Let's, Let's just watch it.

I mean, my glomerular filtration rate or GFR was actually in the 40s.

And so I wasn't feeling well.

I was tired.

I was fatigued.

I was getting puffy intermittently, which, you know, your kidneys filter out toxins essentially.

And when they get overburdened with those toxins, then it's very difficult for your body to function properly.

So when you look at it from that perspective, you know, I just sat there and I looked at him and I said – Okay, well, he said, let's watch and see how it does.
