On this episode of Anti-Aging Hacks, I talk with a heavy metals Detox expert.

We discuss the following topics:

1. How we are getting so many chemicals and heavy metals in our bodies

2. The tests you can take to determine your chemical and heavy metal toxicity in your body

3. How to do a Heavy Metal Detox and how to love a Detox lifestyle

My guest, Wendy Myers, FDN-P, NC, CHHC is an expert in detoxification and minerals. She is passionate about educating the public on the importance of long term detoxing considering our toxic world. She healed her own health issues through hair mineral analysis and developed a unique detox and supplement program. Wendy wants to help others do the same.

Wendy’s interest in nutrition began with the death of her father from esophageal cancer. Intuitively, she knew his chemo, radiation, and ten medications killed him prematurely. She vowed to find out what made him sick, why he died, what role medications played in his demise, and how she could avoid the same fate.

Wendy's Background:

- Got into health as a result of her own health struggles

- Was doing everything right, but nothing seemed to work

- At 37, she had the hormone levels of a menopausal woman, thyroids were not working up to par

- She did a hair mineral analysis and started detoxing. It made a huge improvement in her life

How are we getting Heavy Metals into our Bodies?

- The reason is because of all the appliances we use all day long, they all have chemicals in them

- Big industrials release chemicals into the environment, and they make our way into our bodies

- World health org says we have 500-700 chemicals in our bodies

- They are impairing most organ systems in our body including liver function, digestion, etc.

- Wendy believes you have to add Detoxification to your diet

How to track Chemicals and Heavy Metals in our Bodies?

- Great Plains lab has a GPL test, tests for 18 chemicals

- Detoxproject.org tests for 40 chemicals

- Bioenergetics with NEShealth tests for 50 chemicals

- For heavy metals, hair mineral analysis, urine and stool testing

How Wendy started and changed how she helps clients

- Wendy started with Minerals (Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium and Trace Minerals can go a long way)

- Wendy also uses Bioenergetics

- Bone broth and glutamine are very slow to help gut health

- NES health has shown dramatic results in just a few months

- Improves positive charge in body and promotes negative charging of the body

- Many times people are too ill to detox, so she needs to do a pretox before they can detox

- IV chelation should be done very slowly

Why our Bodies Cannot Detox Anymore

- There are just too many chemicals, too many pollutants, high sugar diets, seed oils, blue light, bad sleep

- Liver is congested, and 90 million people in the US have fatty liver (not due to alcohol). Has the same incidence as diabetes.

- Liver is not able to do the job and the toxins have built up over the years

- The body stores these chemicals in the brain, fat tissue, and myelin sheaths, in the bones and tissues

What are good screening tools

- A hair mineral is a good screening tool, people should start with that

- Wendy recommends heavymetalsquiz.com which will give you information as well

- Hair Mineral analysis is $99, urine tests are more expensive ($450) and require a consult, and stool test is $400 with consult

- Hair test is usually enough to design a program for most people

What is the Detox Protocol look like

- Wendy starts people with Minerals

- then adds Wata water which is very hydrating and negatively charged

- Also recommends supplements called MitochondriaRX at mitochondrialwellness.com. Wendy highly recommends these. These build energy levels, and receptors.

- Wendy also recommends NesHealth BioEnergetics program for 6 months

- Emotional trauma also holds back people from health goals, NesHealth can address those

- This gets people ready for the actual detox which follows next

- NesHealth bioenergetics scanner scans 500 data points

- You can find nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, environmental toxins, emotional trauma, immune system, chakras, circadian rhythm in your body

- Has a supplement called AgelessAF that can pull some toxic metals out of your body

Advanced Detox Phase

- Highest quality Zeolyte, EDTA supporities, Glutathione or NAC, fat soluble lipoic acid (much better than alpha lipoic acid)

- Different metals have different substances that will pull them out

- Mercury or Lead can take a long time to get it out of your system (2 years for a healthy person)

- Wendy recommends adopting a detox lifestyle everyday

- Binders are substances that can absorb toxins out of your gut or bloodstream

- When you mobilize lead or mercury, then must have a binder to catch it and take it out of the body

- Activated charcoal is a binder that can absorb quite a few heavy metals, but it can also absorb minerals. Don't use this too much.

- Best to take it after alcohol or a night at the cheesecake factory

IV Chelation Considerations

- Can cause kidney damage from doing the wrong chelation

- Need to be careful because this can be too strong

How Does the Body Detox naturally

- Sweating is great

- Grapefruit and citrus toxins are great

- Colon by eating a lot of fiber to clean the colon

- Coffee enemas, and liver flushing

- Give your liver a rest

- Wendy has a formula for liver support herbs

- Colon hydrotherapy is a good way to clean out the colon

- Coffee enema uses caffeine to clean out the liver, and irritates the liver so it can dump toxins

- Once a week is a good place to begin coffee enemas. This is one of the best ways to help your body detox

- Wendy talks about how to do a coffee enema

How to live a detox lifestyle

- Start small, and remove the toxins from your life

- Pick 1-2 items to address

- Lots of categories, beauty products or cleaning products addressed on Myersdetox

- Wendy has her house cleaned with Vinegar and Borax agent and natural products
