Fix Your Gut, Part 2: Parasite Detox, Binders, and the Drainage Funnel

If you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck with bloating, brain fog, fatigue, skin issues, or autoimmune flares, this episode explains why: parasites, microbial waste, and environmental toxins can keep your gut inflamed—until you clear them.

Dr. Joshua Sharp walks through a practical gut-detox roadmap: how to time parasite support (including the full moon), why binders (charcoal, clay, fulvic/humic, zeolite, chlorella) calm die-off, and how to open drainage pathways (bowels, bile/liver, lymph, sweat, breath, sleep) so toxins actually get out. We also cover Mimosa pudica seed extract (the “sticky broom” that helps grab debris) and the hidden gut impacts of pesticides, microplastics, heavy metals, mold toxins, and fragrances.

💡 You’ll learn

• How parasites damage tight junctions and drive leaky gut
• The full-moon window and why symptoms can spike
• Which binders to consider and when to take them
• The Drainage Funnel: bowels → bile/liver → lymph → sweat → breath → sleep
• Everyday upgrades: hydration, lemon water, gentle movement, nasal breathing, sleep

➡️ Next week (Part 3): Rebuilding the gut lining, probiotics, mucosal support, and long-term microbiome repair.

If you’ve been struggling with chronic fatigue, bloating, food sensitivities, or autoimmune issues, your gut might be trying to tell you something. In this first episode of our Leaky Gut Series, Dr. Joshua Sharp breaks down how prebiotics (the fibers that feed your good bacteria) play a critical role in repairing leaky gut and restoring balance to your microbiome.

👉 Learn how prebiotics act as modulators for your gut ecosystem, why bloating isn’t always a bad sign, and how to introduce gut-healing foods without triggering discomfort.

You’ll also hear how Ginger’s skin, joints, and energy transformed when she began restoring her gut and how you can begin the same process today.

🌿 In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What causes leaky gut and how it affects your immune system
• Why prebiotics are different from probiotics and why you need both
• The top foods and supplements to start healing your gut lining
• How to ease digestive symptoms while feeding your microbiome
• The surprising connection between gut health, mood, and energy

🎧 Tune in next week for Part 2, where we’ll dive into gut cleansing including parasite detox, SIBO strategies, and herbs that help restore microbial balance.
