What if staying healthy today requires more than just avoiding disease and asks us to rethink how we live, eat, connect, and heal? In this episode of Too Curious MDs, Dr. Russell Jaffe shares a wide-ranging conversation on toxicity, trauma, integrative medicine, and the human healing response. Our conversation explores environmental toxins, emotional burden, chronic stress, detoxification, alkaline living, and the role of love, safety, and deep listening in healing. We unpack how small daily choices can reduce toxic burden, support resilience, and help us live with more vitality, discernment, and connection in a chemically burdened world. - - - - - About the Guest: Russell Jaffe, MD, PhD, CCN, is a physician, scientist, toxicologist, and pioneer in integrative and functional medicine.
