Episode 57: Dr. Joseph Pizzorno’s Insights on Functional Medicine and Environmental Health

In this episode, Dr. Kharrazian is joined by renowned physician Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, a pioneering voice in environmental medicine and toxicology. Together, they dive into the hidden world of environmental toxins—discussing the staggering number of chemicals we're exposed to every day, why testing for toxins can be more complex than most realize, and which common exposures may be silently sabotaging our health.

Dr. Pizzorno reveals the challenges in accurately measuring toxic load, the wide differences in our bodies’ abilities to detoxify, and why focusing on exposure and biological damage is often more useful than hunting for specific chemicals in the blood or urine. You'll learn about practical strategies for identifying and reducing toxin exposure, the synergistic effects of multiple chemicals, and simple steps you can take to support your body’s natural defenses.
