Episode 67: The Fifth Emunctory: The Emotional Key to Finally Releasing ToxinsIf you’ve done all the detoxes, followed every protocol, cleaned up your diet, and still feel stuck—there’s likely one system you haven’t supported: your fifth emunctory.In biological medicine, emunctories are the body's natural drainage pathways—most people know the physical ones: skin, lungs, kidneys, and colon. But there’s a fifth that almost no one talks about… and it’s the one that holds the key to why your body can’t let go.👉 Your nervous system—and your ability to process emotion—isn’t just involved in healing. It’s essential to elimination.In this episode, we explore how emotional congestion shows up as physical stagnation, how trauma impacts drainage, and why many people stay “toxic” despite doing everything right.We break down:Why your nervous system is a functional emunctory in biological medicineHow unresolved emotions and nervous system dysregulation block detoxThe difference between pushing detox vs. supporting drainageHow somatic work, nervous system regulation, and emotional release create true momentum in healingWhat it actually looks like to create space in the body—physically and emotionally—for releaseIf you’re stuck in chronic symptoms, always bouncing between protocols, or feel like your body is holding onto something—it probably is. And this episode helps explain why.We don’t offer quick fixes, but we do offer a new framework: one where emotions are not separate from the body—they are the body.And when you work with them, not against them, your biology responds.Learn more about drainage-based healing at: www.biomed-drainage.orgJoin us in person: Omega Institute Workshop, Oct 10–12 in NY💬 Loved this episode?
