#413: Mold, Toxins, and the Cell Danger Response: How to Reclaim Energy and Resilience With Dr. Clement Lee, NMD
Today, I’m joined by the thoughtful Dr. Clement Lee, a naturopathic doctor blending ancient wisdom from Chinese medicine with cutting-edge regenerative therapies. In this episode, Dr. Lee gets real about why people can feel deeply unwell long before anything shows up on standard labs—and how subtle issues like limbic system stress, toxins, and chronic inflammation quietly undermine our vitality.
We dive into the practical tools at the heart of Dr. Lee’s approach, from the foundations of prolotherapy and nervous system regulation to his take on avoiding hidden environmental threats and why mindset is often the biggest missing piece in lasting healing. Dr. Lee breaks down how modern life accelerates toxic burden (in both adults and kids), common misunderstandings about chronic disease, and which therapies—like peptides and IV nutrients—can move the needle when things get tough.
If you want real strategies for supporting your energy, resilience, and lifelong health—whether you’re struggling with “mystery” symptoms or just want to age well—don’t miss this episode. Dr. Lee brings a mix of grounded advice, emerging science, and hope for rebuilding your body from the inside out.
