Cellular Detox 101: Fasting, Heavy Metals, Cholesterol & Inflammation | Dr. Daniel Pompa

About this episode

Courtney Swan interviews Dr. Daniel Pompa about intermittent fasting, cellular detox, and the impact of toxins on health.

287: I’m joined by Dr. Daniel Pompa, health coach, author, and founder of the Pompa Program, to break down the truth about intermittent fasting, cellular detox, and inflammation. We explore how fasting actually works at the cellular level, what a real feast day looks like, and how toxins, seed oils, and even dental issues can drive chronic inflammation (and bigger health issues down the line). Dr. Pompa also shares how mercury poisoning reshaped his approach to health and why cholesterol is so misunderstood. If you’re doing all the “right” things but still feel off, this episode connects the dots. Topics Discussed: → Is intermittent fasting good or bad for health? → How does cellular detox reduce inflammation? → What causes the “skinny fat” look even in healthy people? → Can heavy metals and environmental toxins damage mitochondria? → Is elevated LDL cholesterol actually bad for your health?
