In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jaban Moore to explore why so many people remain stuck in chronic illness despite doing everything “right.” We break down the neurotoxic loop—how trauma, toxins, and infections interact to keep the body in a state of inflammation—and why nervous system regulation is just as important as detox and antimicrobial therapies for true healing.

Detox can backfire when your system is overloaded. In this episode, I talk with Jeff Hoyt about clinoptilolite zeolite, how it can bind metals, mycotoxins, LPS and ammonia, why “catch-and-release” can feel safer than push protocols, and the zeolite dosing paradox where too-low doses can trigger worse reactions.
