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.

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

• How digital overload drives nervous system burnout
  

• The effect of screens, news, and notifications on stress hormones
  

• Why your eyes and ears shape your internal environment

• How digital detox becomes nervous system medicine

Season 2 of Fire Your Doctor continues with a hard truth many driven, capable people need to hear: burnout is not a character issue—it’s a biological one.

In this episode, Dr. Dani Lockwood and Richard Lockwood unpack why leaders, caregivers, entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, and faith-driven individuals are often the first to burn out. This isn’t about weakness, poor mindset, or lack of discipline—it’s about how the nervous system responds to prolonged stress without recovery.

If you feel exhausted despite “doing everything right,” this conversation will help you understand what your body is actually asking for.

🔍 In this episode, we unpack:

• Why high-capacity people burn out first

• Burnout as a nervous system survival response, not failure

• The roles of cortisol, adrenaline, and mitochondrial shutdown

• Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn in everyday life

• Why exhaustion can worsen after exercise

• The difference between rest and collapse

• Why boundaries are biological protection, not selfishness

• How identity, productivity, and faith can become tangled

• What real recovery actually requires

  
  

  ✝️ Spiritual Insight

Mark 6:31 (NIV, pre-2020)

“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”

Exodus 18:17–18 (ESV)

“What you are doing is not good… you will certainly wear yourselves out.”

God designed limits not to restrain us—but to sustain us. Rest is not a reward for collapse; it’s a requirement for longevity.

The Hidden Blocks That Stall Healing

Have you ever felt like you’re eating clean, taking the supplements, exercising, praying, and doing everything you’ve been told to do—yet your body still isn’t healing?

In this episode of Fire Your Doctor, Dr. Dani Lockwood and Richard Lockwood explore why so many well-intentioned people get stuck on their healing journey. The problem isn’t a lack of effort—it’s often that healing is happening out of order.

This conversation reframes chronic illness, fatigue, hormone imbalance, and stalled progress through the lens of physiology, nervous system safety, and spiritual alignment.

🔍 In this episode, we unpack:

• Why “doing all the right things” doesn’t always lead to healing

• The difference between managing symptoms and restoring systems

• The body’s order of healing: inside-out, top-down, past-to-present

• Common hidden blocks to healing:

  • nervous system stuck in survival

  • poor drainage and detox bottlenecks

  • blood sugar instability

  • unresolved emotional trauma

  • spiritual striving instead of rest

• Why the body does not respond to force—but to safety

• Discernment vs desperation in health decisions

• How slowing down can actually move healing forward

  
  

  ✝️ Spiritual Insight

Isaiah 30:15 (NASB 1995)

“In repentance and rest you will be saved,
in quietness and trust is your strength.”

Healing is not earned by trying harder. It unfolds when alignment, trust, and safety are restored—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
