In this pivotal episode, Dr. Brad Montagne dives into the third leg of chronic illness: toxicity. After exploring Candida and leaky gut, he now reveals how toxins overwhelm the body’s defenses, shut down detox pathways, and fuel everything from skin issues to asthma, autoimmunity, and systemic disease.

This is not about trendy “detox programs”, it’s about the real physiology of why your body becomes toxic in the first place, why most detox approaches fail, and what truly needs to be restored for long-term healing.

Dr. Brad reveals:

✅ The three main toxins from a damaged gut: LPS, acetylaldehyde, and ammonia

✅ Why the gut and liver are your body’s true detox organs — and how they fail

✅ How Candida toxins kill dopamine nerves and sabotage mood and energy

✅ Why the immune system is a poor detoxifier and easily overwhelmed

✅ How eczema, psoriasis, asthma, and hormone chaos are really toxin escape routes

✅ The six critical pathways of detoxification and why they collapse under stress, meds, and food intolerances
