225. Detox Mistakes That Make Pets Worse—And How to Do It Right
If your pet feels worse every time you “detox,” you’re not crazy—you’re skipping the steps that make detox safe.
In this episode, Dr. Marlene Siegel lays out a no-BS roadmap so you stop chasing symptoms and start clearing the mess the right way.
You’ll learn:
- Drainage before detox: liver, lymph, gut—what to open first (and how to know it’s open)
- Common mistakes that backfire: pushing binders too fast, ignoring minerals, missing bile flow
- Daily low-effort wins: food upgrades, bitters, hydration/electrolytes, gentle movement, light/heat
- When to add binders & antiparasitics—and how to dose without blowing up the gut
- Red flags that mean pause, pivot, or get help
If your dog’s stuck in the itch/yeast/gut spiral, this is your reset.
