I’m discussing the dark side of detox with Dr. Greg Nigh, ND. Dr. Nigh is an expert on sulfur and what happens when your body doesn’t respond well to this crucial nutrient. Many healthy foods like cruciferous vegetables, eggs, garlic, and onions are high in sulfur and play a crucial role in popular diets like Paleo, Keto, and Plant-based.
Dr. Nigh and I discuss the signs, symptoms, and science behind sulfur sensitivity along with ways to help you recover from excess exposure.
