Dr. Chris Shade has spent his career studying how toxins move through the human body and what it actually takes to clear them. As founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific, he brought that research to Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour for a wide-ranging look at detoxification and modern health.
The conversation covers glutathione, heavy metals, mold exposure, and inflammation before moving into psychedelics, trauma, and why Dr. Chris Shade believes modern life is pushing the nervous system past what it was built to handle.
