In this episode, Dr. Kharrazian is joined by renowned physician Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, a pioneering voice in environmental medicine and toxicology. Together, they dive into the hidden world of environmental toxins—discussing the staggering number of chemicals we're exposed to every day, why testing for toxins can be more complex than most realize, and which common exposures may be silently sabotaging our health.
Dr. Pizzorno reveals the challenges in accurately measuring toxic load, the wide differences in our bodies’ abilities to detoxify, and why focusing on exposure and biological damage is often more useful than hunting for specific chemicals in the blood or urine. You'll learn about practical strategies for identifying and reducing toxin exposure, the synergistic effects of multiple chemicals, and simple steps you can take to support your body’s natural defenses.

In today’s episode, Dr. Christy Sutton breaks down the crucial markers to monitor for iron overload, from classic liver enzymes and iron panels to the often-overlooked cardiovascular and autoimmune risk factors that can clue you into complications before they become serious. You’ll learn about ancillary labs to watch for side effects in the liver, kidneys, brain, hormones, cardiovascular system, and more. Dr. Sutton unpacks the practical nuances of interpreting test results, why “mildly elevated” liver enzymes should never be dismissed, and how overlapping factors like copper, magnesium, and vitamin deficiencies can shape both diagnosis and management.

Anemia affects millions but is often misunderstood or oversimplified. Anemia isn’t just about having low iron. It means you don’t have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to get vital oxygen to your tissues, organs, and brain.
Host Chrissy Sutton breaks down the many different forms of anemia, from iron-deficiency to anemia of inflammation, and even discusses why you can actually have too much iron and still be anemic.
We’ll explore how to spot anemia not just with lab work, but by recognizing physical signs like paleness, fatigue, brittle nails, and even changes in your tongue and the whites of your eyes. Dr. Sutton highlights why anemia is more than just feeling tired—it’s tied to everything from exercise intolerance and heart palpitations to developmental delays in children and increased risk for disorders like ADHD.
This episode also unpacks the confusing overlap between high ferritin from inflammation versus hemochromatosis, goes in-depth on the impact of pregnancy and menstruation on iron levels, and shares actionable tips for both clinicians and patients.
