We were kids, but already on a different path than most of the people around us. We were fasting, going to sweat lodges, getting Reiki certifications, walking the Red Road, and asking the kinds of questions that pull you out of the ordinary and into the deeper currents of life. Here we are as adults, still asking those same questions. Dr Bernie has continued to refine his lens. He is deeply focused on metabolism, toxicity, and the hidden burden heavy metals place on the body — especially mercury. He breaks down how these toxins affect energy, mood, inflammation, and cellular health, and why detox has to be approached with intelligence. This episode is really about the root of modern illness and the courage to keep seeking better answers. Bernardo is one of the few people I know willing to keep studying where medicine, detox, and deeper truth meet. This conversation is intense.
