🎧 Episode 32: The Detox Your Doctor Never Mentioned Digital Overload, Nervous System Burnout, and Discernment

When most people think about detox, they think about food, supplements, or cleanses—but healing doesn’t start there.

In this episode of Fire Your Doctor, Dr. Dani Lockwood and Richard Lockwood unpack the detox no one talks about: what you’re taking in through your eyes, ears, attention, and self-talk. In a world designed to overstimulate, distract, and exhaust you, your nervous system may be carrying a toxic load long before your labs ever change.

This conversation reframes detox as an act of discernment—not restriction—and invites listeners into a quieter, clearer way of healing.

🔍 In this episode, we unpack:

• Why detox is more than physical—it’s neurological, emotional, and spiritual

• How digital overload drives nervous system burnout

• The impact of constant screens, news, and notifications on cortisol and focus

• Why your eyes and ears are gateways to your internal environment

• How what you watch shapes what you believe and how you feel

• The difference between numbing, distraction, and true rest

• Why digital detox is nervous system medicine

• The power of words: are you blessing your life or working against it?

• How discernment protects peace, clarity, and healing

Matthew 6:22–23 (AMP)

“The eye is the lamp of the body; so if your eye is clear [spiritually perceptive], your whole body will be full of light…”

Healing accelerates when what you take in aligns with truth, peace, and intention.

Most detox conversations focus on food and supplements—but what if the biggest toxin in your life isn’t on your plate?

In this episode of Fire Your Doctor, Dr. Dani Lockwood and Richard Lockwood explore the detox no one talks about: what you’re consuming through your eyes, ears, attention, and self-talk. In a culture built on constant stimulation, many people are burned out not because they’re weak—but because their nervous systems are overwhelmed.

This conversation reframes detox as an act of discernment, not deprivation—and explains why healing often stalls when we ignore digital overload, emotional inputs, and mental noise.
