Eliminating the SIDE EFFECTS of Medication
Episode description
Today I want to cover some important information on reducing the side effects of medications.
Phase 1 and phase 2 enzymes are groups of enzymes that help break down medications and toxins in the liver. These enzymes turn medications and toxins into harmless water-soluble particles that can be eliminated through the body.
If this enzyme system isn’t working, you could experience more side effects from medications. Your medications may also not be as effective as they should be.
Certain things can decrease the function of phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification, including:
• DNA mutations
• Liver problems
• Consuming grapefruit
• Certain medications
How to support phase 1 and phase 2 detoxification:
1. Consume cruciferous vegetables, allium vegetables, sulforaphane, or DIM
2. Do fasting
3. Reduce exposure to toxins
4. Strengthen the liver (do Healthy Keto® and take milk thistle)
5. Use herbal remedies (curcumin, green tea, and garlic)
