Can We Reverse Toxin Damage? | Mitochondria, Gut Health & Pregnancy Tips | Dr Gaetano Morello EP16

Did you know that babies are born with an average of 285 industrial contaminants already in their bloodstream? What if the key to protecting your child's future health starts before they're even born?

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Gaetano Morello, a leading expert in functional medicine with over 33 years of experience in integrative health and detoxification. Dr. Morello works at BC Women's and Children's Hospital in their complex chronic disease program - making him one of the few naturopathic doctors practicing in a hospital setting. He reveals the shocking truth about environmental toxins and their impact on children's developing brains and bodies.

Dr. Morello breaks down the science behind mitochondrial dysfunction, explaining how toxins act like "rotten lemons" that reduce our cellular energy production by up to 50%. He shares practical strategies for supporting your child's natural detoxification pathways, the critical role of the microbiome in toxin elimination, and why the first seven years are absolutely crucial for setting the foundation of lifelong health.

From choosing the right supplements to understanding epigenetics, this episode is packed with actionable insights every parent needs to know.
