Detox Nation with Sinclair Kennally Episode: Why Detox Makes Sensitive People Worse and How to Heal Safely | Dr. Jaban Moore
Date: February 16, 2026

Episode Overview

In this episode, Sinclair Kennally sits down with Dr. Jaban Moore to tackle why detox protocols often worsen symptoms for highly sensitive people—and how to approach healing more safely. Together, they dissect the concept of “sensitivities,” the pitfalls of accumulated toxic burdens, practical and clinical strategies for easing the load, and the evolution (and current adolescent phase) of root cause medicine. Their evidence-driven, compassion-forward approach provides both hope and actionable tips for patients and practitioners navigating these complexities.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Epidemic of Sensitivity and Accumulative Burdens

• Toxic Accumulation as the Overlooked Culprit
  Dr. Moore and Sinclair underscore the burden of multiple, compounding toxins in the modern world (water, air, food, implants, etc.), noting that individual toxin levels may seem “safe” but the collective impact is often overwhelming and underdiagnosed.

• Quote:

  "We're overlooking the accumulation of all the burdens that we run into every single day... when you add up the accumulation of burdens... it is, well, overwhelming. Creating the sensitivity."
  — Dr. Jaban Moore [00:32]

• Testing Limitations:
  Many “under-excreters” don’t show toxicants on laboratory tests, not because their bodies are clean, but because they’re unable to excrete; thus, their true toxic burden is masked ([03:32]).

• Example:
  Dr. Moore shares that sometimes 'clean' test results are actually a red flag—“they feel like crap” because nothing is coming out. This indicates the system is “clamped down” ([03:32]).

2. Overlooked Environmental and Structural Factors

• Beyond Mold: Radon, Water, and Implants
  Environmental exposures extend well beyond typical suspects like mold. Dr. Moore emphasizes routinely asking about radon, water toxicity, air cleanliness, and a comprehensive dental/trauma/implant history ([04:49]).

• Water Quality and Industry Influence:

  "There's no municipality in the country that doesn't have toxins in their water... One of the factors that's interesting is where did the legal limit come from? How was that found?"
  — Dr. Jaban Moore [05:33], [06:03]

  Legal limits are shaped by financial constraints and lobbying, not health.

• Implants as a Hidden Trigger:
  Dr. Moore shares cases where titanium implants (knee, hand, breast) elicited significant immune reactions—pointing to body burden from foreign materials that are rarely considered ([08:37–10:37]).

• Memorable Moment:
  The “Senior Barbie” story, where homeopathic titanium was used to modulate immune response to a titanium hand plate ([08:37–10:37]).

3. The Adolescent Stage of Root Cause Medicine

• Jerky Protocols and Patient “Clean Up” Tasks
  There’s frustration with poorly sequenced protocols—patients are placed on mold or parasite cleanses without foundational support, often making their sensitivity worse ([10:37–12:33]).

• Quote:

  “We’re in the teenage years of root cause medicine... we often inherit patients who... have reacted and gotten scared and given up.”
  — Sinclair Kennally [10:37]

4. Safe, Patient-Centric Healing Approaches for Sensitives

• One Variable at a Time:
  Dr. Moore strictly recommends starting with only one supplement or therapeutic intervention at a time for sensitive patients ([13:16]).

  “Start with one supplement at a time. Never more than one... I don’t even want you starting a therapy like a red light and a supplement at the same time, because I want to know what is causing what.”
  — Dr. Jaban Moore [13:16]

• Ultra-Low Dosage:
  Sometimes starting with a single granule from a capsule—if there’s a reaction, it suggests issues with the brain/mind, not a detox response ([13:16]).

• 20% Symptom Rule:
  If symptoms increase by more than 20%, it’s time to reassess—never force through, pivot instead ([13:16–14:41]).

• Building Regulation Before Detox:
  Before real detoxification, stability must be established—using tools like brain rewiring, neural therapy, natural antihistamines (bromelain, nettle), anti-inflammatory agents, or, if needed, peptides and medications ([14:41–16:27]).

• Quote:

  “You might have to be on eight different things to control your sensitivity just to get started... sometimes it’s necessary because we have to get started."
  — Dr. Jaban Moore [16:14]

5. Environmental Modifications as First Wins

• Immediate, Achievable Swaps:
  Reduce day-to-day burden by gradually switching cleaning and hygiene products to less toxic versions. Control diet, emphasize animal-based or “animal protein forward” meals, and remove food-based immune triggers (like oxalates, nightshades) as appropriate ([17:59–19:08]).

• Water and Air Quality:
  Even with modest resources, start with simple interventions—glass bottled water, countertop distillers, window ventilation, air purifiers, and ozone treatments (when appropriate and safe, and when no one’s home) ([19:31–19:34]).

• Managing Energy “Bankruptcy”:
  Dr. Moore uses a metaphor of daily energy as money—most patients start “bankrupt,” so it takes removing many spigots before they feel significantly better ([21:06]).

• Quote:

  “Sometimes we can remove triggers and they don’t feel better... No, you’re just bankrupt. And we are trying to get rid of the debts...”
  — Dr. Jaban Moore [21:06]

6. Practitioner Advice—Adapt to Rising Sensitivity

• More Patients are Sensitive Than Ever
  Both agree today’s patients are dramatically more reactive than a decade ago—histamine overload and other hyperactive immune responses are common ([22:46–23:51]).

• Practitioner Mindset:
  Stay humble, stay curious—“There’s not a secret,” Dr. Moore urges, “continue being a student... learning from the physiology of each patient” ([22:51–25:03]).

• Peer Collaboration:
  Value community and consultation—no one solves these cases alone ([25:03]).

7. Advice to Sensitive Patients

• Choosing the Right Provider:
  Seek out doctors/practitioners unafraid to say "I don’t know, but I’ll find out," rather than those offering overconfident, cookie-cutter solutions ([25:18–25:55]).

• Quote:

  “Find someone whose ego is not so big to say, I don’t know... If you got a doctor that... [is] like, 'Oh, this is easy,' that would be concerning for me."
  — Dr. Jaban Moore [25:18]

• You Are Not Too Complicated:
  Don’t internalize failures of the system—healing is not easy, but it’s possible with the right support ([25:55–26:16]).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• "Your body's like this. It's just holding everything in. It's not showing me anything. I've got to fix that first, which is why you react to absolutely everything before we can even move forward."
  — Dr. Jaban Moore [03:32]

• "There's no municipality in the country that doesn't have toxins in their water."
  — Dr. Jaban Moore [05:33]

• "Sometimes people don't feel better right away because they're at such an energy deficit—it's not that nothing's working, it's that the bankruptcy is so deep."
  — Paraphrased from Dr. Jaban Moore [21:06]

• "We need to give our bodies grace... even taking one step forward has to be enough for today."
  — Sinclair Kennally [16:27]

• "It is absolutely overcomeable, and we can help people to truly be able to get back to 100% and not live like this anymore."
  — Dr. Jaban Moore [25:03]
