In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, our guest Dr. Chris Shade joins our host Scott Sher to give one-cent solutions to life’s $64,000 questions that include: How does the process of detoxification function in our bodies and what factors can disrupt this balance? What role do stress and hormonal imbalances play in our detoxification process and how can supplements like GABA potentially aid in restoring balance? What is the role of glutathione in detoxification, and how does incorporating CBD, liposomal glutathione, and polyphenols aid in regulating neuroinflammation and mobilizing toxins?   Dr. Christopher Shade, founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific, has been working to uncover the curative power of nature through the practice of modern science for over a decade. As an industry thought-leader, his vast knowledge, intuitive understanding of chemistry and biology, and passion for wellness are reflected in our innovative supplement delivery systems, detoxification protocols, and patented mercury speciation and heavy metals tests.   What We Discuss: 03:16 - How Does the Detoxification Process Work 12:05 - Detoxification Methods 18:30 - Detoxification, Stress, and Neuroinflammation 29:33 - How to Test for Toxins 33:19 - The GABA System & Hormones 44:20 - Liver Health and Detoxification Methods for Drinking 52:33 - Exploring Tibetan Buddhism and the Bonn Lineage 57:50 - 3 Things to Live Smarter Not Harder   Find more from Smarter Not Harder: Website: https://troscriptions.com/blogs/podcast | https://homehope.org Instagram: @troscriptions | @homehopeorg   Find out more from Chris Shade: Website: https://www.quicksilverscientific.com/ Instagram: @dr.christophershade | @quicksilverscientific   Get 10% Off Your Purchase of the Metabolomics Module by using PODCAST10 at https://www.homehope.org   Get 10% Off your Troscriptions purchase by using POD10 at https://www.troscriptions.com   Get daily content from the hosts of Smarter Not Harder by following @troscriptions on Instagram.
