Also garlic and onions are great.

Certain herbs and spices are great, like turmeric.

There's a whole list of supportive compounds that you can use to help detoxify yourself.

I've written a lot about this.

Protein, yes, protein is really important.

And if you look at a lot of the pathways, and there's a whole series of biochemical steps that happen in your liver when you detoxify things, it requires amino acids, especially glycine, because it's part of making glutathione.

Glutathione is the body's main detoxifying compound, and it comes from amino acids.

You need protein.

B vitamins, really important.

Methylation is a key step.

B12, full AB6, but all the B vitamins are really important.

Zinc, selenium, also minerals, really important.

And alcohol, alcohol is just a liver toxin.

So I would encourage you to not drink if you can.

The next is your gut.

It's how once the toxins get metabolized by the liver, they get excreted in the bile, they get dumped into your intestinal tract, and they have to get out.

Now, if you're constipated or you're sluggish, you're not having regular bowel movements, guess what?

You are going to recirculate those and they're going to get reabsorbed.

So you don't want to do that.

So fiber is really important.
