Your Guide To Heavy Metals: Risks And Detoxification

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

How are you? It’s great to be here.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Again, we meet to go over some of the most important topics at my summit. This time, it’s going to be all about heavy metals and their connection with infections and parasites. This will be a wonderful talk in case our audience doesn’t know you, which I don’t know how. But you are the co-founder of Detox Rejuvenation. You’re an award-winning expert on chronic digestive illnesses. You’re the host of your Health Reset podcast. You’re a survivor of a complex, chronic illness. Through all this experience, you help people with chronic, complex health conditions get well again. You’re also known as the liver lady because you’re an expert in all things liver. We’re not going to talk about the liver today, but if you want to learn more about the liver, Sinclair will set you up with how to get a hold of her when we get done with this talk. But it’s so wonderful to have you back. Thank you so much for doing this talk.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

It’s a joy to be here. I love your events, and I just love the way you advocate for people to take their health into their hands. You’re just doing amazing work.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Thank you. Well, today we’re going to have an enlightening talk about metals. We’re probably going to break a lot of myths. We’re probably going to have some surprising aha moments in this talk. strap in everyone. A couple of the hot topics that we want to unpack here are aluminum, mercury, and radioactive elements. This is widely misunderstood. The EPA has falsely created this sense of security like it’s not a big issue. I was writing a piece; I was writing a heavy metal protocol, and I was doing some research on, just all the different heavy metals that we find in heavy metal testing. I kept finding in my research silly statements like, this is well monitored by the EPA, and safe standards are in place to make sure that you don’t get hurt. This is ridiculous. Let’s start with aluminum, shall we? What do we know about aluminum, and what is not shared about aluminum? Why is this such a big problem?

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

I love that question.  It’s so important to be disruptive of this collective trance, just because we’re living in this modern era, somehow someone else is doing their thinking for us, and we don’t have to understand what we’re being exposed to because someone else is handling it, whether it’s a three-letter agency from your government or,  somehow everything should just work as we think in this day and age. But the truth is, we have been widely exposed to some very disruptive elements. I use the word disrupt deliberately because our bodies know how to heal. If you are listening to this and you’re struggling with a health issue, it’s not that your body’s forgotten how to heal. It’s that it’s been interrupted. So it just needs a little bit of strategic support along the way to reclaim its innate healing capabilities.

We have to ask ourselves: What has interrupted our capacity to heal? Aluminum is at the top of the list. We are living in the age of aluminum, if you think about it because it’s holding our food in our cans and our processed food containers. It’s in our personal care products. It’s legally allowed to add it as an anti-caking additive in your flowers and your foods. This is legal, and it’s not a heavy metal, but it behaves like a heavy metal. It’s a metal that is highly toxic to you. We were not involved with it. It’s very plentiful in the Earth’s crust, but we weren’t mining that through the ages. This is just very, very recent. One of the main ways that we’re getting exposed to aluminum is something you don’t even know about. You might be thinking, I’m doing so great; I already swapped out my deodorants and clear. I haven’t done aluminum in a long time. I feel like that’s awesome. Now let’s look at the 75 others you have been exposed and while you might still have a heavy load. This is especially important for women because yes, as soon as our lymphatics become sluggish with aluminum, we can get a huge proliferation of,  pathogenic species taking over. That can happen in the breast tissue right near where you would have been doing it with, an aluminum deodorant back in the day. But it’s coming in through your sinuses and into your lungs.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Interesting. It’s in the air. Can we talk more about this? Because our audience is pretty savvy. They’ve switched their deodorant. They’re not using aluminum cookware. Hopefully, you’re not using aluminum-core cookware either. Maybe you stopped drinking La Croix and you’re going for,  glass-bottled seltzers or making your own. But where is it coming from in the air? Where, and why?

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

The easiest way to say this is that it’s our air pollution. It’s in our vehicle exhaust, and that includes airplanes. You are looking at a sky right now that has,  higher levels of aluminum than it did back in the day. Dean Wigginton has an interesting body of work around this. if you’re curious about this, I strongly encourage you to look at his studies because aluminum, barium, and strontium have increased air pollution in the atmosphere. You can speculate as to why. But if it’s up there, it’s probably from airplanes, and it’s, drifting down. The problem is that there’s a cascade effect that happens there. First of all,  the planet is its ecosystem. There is no way away. We’re getting pollution from China out here on the West Coast. We had pollution from Fukushima. Within days, you could see a huge uptick in radioactive issues right after Fukushima, although as far as dairies in Vermont, they have to measure, radioactive materials there.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Right here, where we’re in California, we live on the coast of California, and we’re directly across from Fukushima. Northern California is directly across from where my parents live. They’re like sisters. Crescent City is the sister city to a city in Japan. that when tsunamis originate from Japan,  they hit hard on the north coast of California and the southern coast of Oregon because that is directly across the ocean. But anyway. We’re getting hit hard over here in California from Fukushima.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

We are. What we have to understand is that, yes, we’re living in the age of aluminum, and that has a cascade effect. What does aluminum do in the body? You’re getting it through food, through the materials that your food is held in your care, like make-up.  It’s a common additive. It’s not just your deodorant; it’s all you’re also breathing in. We have to think about where it’s entering the body. If it’s in the skin, that’s slowing down the lymphatics and shutting down the mitochondria right underneath the skin, right where you may have applied it over the years, but if you’re breathing it in, it’s affecting your sinuses and your lungs, and it’s having a much more systemic effect. We all have a tendency towards leaky gut in this day and age, because of glyphosate, and aluminum that you’re eating and those food additives, those food dyes, and food that comes in cans, La Croix, as you mentioned, is in an aluminum can. It’s not easily possible for your body to excrete that out and through the digestive tract, you’re more likely to take it in through your leaky gut into the bloodstream, especially because aluminum binds to glyphosate, and that’s a big problem because then it has a neutral charge, which means it’s allowed to go anywhere in the body at once. It ends up in the brain, in. your glands, like your thyroid. Yes. your liver deep in the lymphatic tissue. But this is a big problem because our bodies have exquisite rules about what’s allowed to go where it goes right out the window just from eating food that has been conventionally grown occasionally from glyphosate. We have to think about the synergy of heavy metals and radioactive elements. When glyphosate is present, you can have a 17-fold increase in uptake from radium, uranium, and all those guys in the soil. Your plants have 17 times more radioactive material in them. But I’m getting ahead of myself. 

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Yes.  aluminum; you’ve mentioned the brain. You mentioned that a lot of it ends up in your brain. Can we talk about,  why this is relevant with the level of neurodegenerative disorders that we see,  dementia and Alzheimer’s, and even in children, brain-related disorders? This is affecting not just the older population, but it’s affecting our children as well.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

You hit the nail on the head there, Laura because depending on what age you are, either way that you are expressing your aluminum distress is going to shift. The older you are, the more likely you are to show the symptoms of ALS, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s, like those types of neurodegenerative dementia, or just generalized dementia. If you’re younger, if you’re a child, you’re more likely to exhibit ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder, depression, even suicidal thoughts, and neuromuscular disorders. There’s a lot of research on aluminum in that, even neuropathy, and a lot of digestive issues are being driven by aluminum and the microbial response that is required. Like your body’s like, my God, I can’t get this stuff out.

It just gets reabsorbed in that intrahepatic recirculation toxicity. What am I going to do with it? I’m going to coat it. I’m going to coat it with Candida or other fungi or biofilms. Maybe I could store it in some pathogenic biofilms. Like, what am I going to do with the stuff you do? That’s where we get things like colitis, constipation,  all those things, like, yes, flatulence. Yes, bloating, yes, Crohn’s,  and all these big issues as well. It’s highly neurotoxic just to encapsulate what inner aluminum is doing. It’s highly irritating to the nervous system, and yes, it’s very disruptive to the brain, but it’s also attacking the first brain in our gut. We have to consider these mechanisms of damage so that we know how to slowly unpack this because you can’t go in and just,  do an I.V. to push the stuff out that can crash. You can harm yourself. We’ll talk about solutions.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

I’m glad you mentioned it. I love that you just called the gut the first brain, not the second brain. We’re going to talk about solutions and the correct way to get metals out because you just can’t go in there like G.I. Joe, and try to pull this out. It’s going to crash on you. Let’s shift to mercury because this is a huge topic. I feel like Mercury is more well-known as harmful. As you just mentioned, aluminum is taking a first seat and is more of a problem right now, just because of the unknown and the fact that it binds to glyphosate. Now talk about mercury, and there are some myths around it. This was so frustrating when I was, writing this guide. I’m on a lab interpretation and the amount of false safety that’s out there about mercury, but it’s used in safe amounts. There is no safe amount of mercury inside the human body. Zero. Let’s talk about this.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

That’s correct. There’s no legally established safety limit for mercury. It’s because the government refuses to say that. That’s below the threshold. We consider you to be safe from a legal perspective. It’s that they’re not willing to say that, which is interesting because now we’re on heavy metal. Number two, I’d say lump aluminum and heavy metals for my periodic table nerds because they behave that way in the body. Now we’re looking at aluminum and mercury, and those are widely used as adjuvants in vaccines. I was on a normal vaccine schedule. We’re going to use a lot of burden without understanding the downstream effect. Of course, the laws are on the big pharma side. we have this vaccine court where they’re legally protected, and it’s on the burden of the consumer, i.e., the guinea pig, to come and say, This happened to me. I need help. We’ve now been awarded billions of dollars in damages because of that. But the damage is still widespread. One of the things that persists for Mercury is this myth that, yes, it’s in fish. That would be your top sauce. It’s not your top sauce. It’s a source that you can control, and you can be thoughtful about your fish sourcing and your fish consumption. That’s a great idea. But we also want to consider, yes, our historical vaccine schedule and our future one. What’s in the shots that you may decide would be best for you? We also wanted, which means you have to understand what the many legal hidden names are for hiding mercury in shots.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Let’s talk about it. What are some of those hidden names?

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

I’ll tell you in a second, they are really long.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Okay. .

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

That’s something I can rattle off because it’s like 11 syllables, but we could share that as a bonus for your event.

They had a lot of hidden stuff. I want to make the point here that you’re your top two sources of mercury. It could be your dental work or your amalgam fillings. Over 100 million Americans have had amalgam fillings. Did that amalgam fillings are half mercury by volume? In the first seven years of having those fillings in your mouth, half of that mercury is evaporating into the body because mercury vaporizes at room temperature. Guys, this is a stupid idea. As soon as amalgam fillings were invented, American surgeons banded together to campaign against them. This is before 1900. There were, like, this is a bad idea. The mouth is connected to the body. Please don’t do it.

Amalgam fillings are classified as a medical device legally, so otherwise, if you had to say that they were an implant and that they had a legal relationship to the body, it wouldn’t qualify.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

It’s unbelievable. I finally got my amalgams out, recently. And it took me a long time to just do it, to get up the nerve to do it, and to, shell out the money to do it, too. It’s not cheap. it’s a it’s a real thing. 

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Mercury has a 35-year half-life in those amalgam feelings. If you’re like, Well, they’ve been in for decades; how bad could it be at this point? It’s still affecting you, for sure. Mercury is highly neurotoxic, just like aluminum.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Those fillings expand and crack the tooth, and then they just leak.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Every time you’re causing friction against it, when you’re chewing,  every time you’re holding your cell phone up to your face, it’s radiating and heating up as a little antenna. I’m a lot of fun at parties, guys. Look at how all these poisons intersect.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

We’ll give everybody hope by the time we’re done talking here that we got to set the stage here for what’s possible. But what’s happening and what you can count on from Sinclair, me, and the people that we bring on this project is the truth. That’s what we do: we speak the truth, no matter what the cost is to us we speak the truth.

A pact we’ve all made, like no more putting our heads in the sand, no more supporting the lies. This is happening to people. People are being poisoned. Mercury is in our amalgams. Mercury is in fish. Where else is Mercury?

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

You have to consider maternal-fetal toxin transfer. If you’re the oldest, like I was, and Mama had a lot of fillings.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Exactly. 

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Whatever Mom’s dental work was, that’s going to get mobilized because Mom’s job as she’s building the baby is to pull and draw in minerals and all the resources from all corners of the body to build a healthy baby. Unfortunately, they’re heavy metals in play that will also affect the child for, your life and potentially shape the trajectory of your life. That happened to me for sure, but it set the stage for serious issues as a toddler. I was, constantly on antibiotics and things, and that’s one of the core issues. Our parents’ generation was like my mom was breaking thermometers and playing with the mercury.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

With the mercury. all transferred to us, the offspring.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Highly absorptive. Remember, it vaporizes at room temperature. You’re inhaling it, and you’re also absorbing to the skin. So, 80% of the mercury that comes into the body tends to stay in the body because it’s so difficult. Again, we did not evolve with mercury and how to process it. We don’t have detox enzyme genes for this. It’s very easily reabsorbed in the body and highly lipophilic. It ends up in the brain and ends up in the thyroid. That’s what happened to me when I got my amalgam fillings. I started getting a lot more anxious. My temperament changed, I got more socially anxious, and I went from being a very self-confident kid to having, serious depression, which is not uncommon. We think all of this is like a trauma base.

We’re in our culture right now. We’re talking about everything as if we’re very fragile as humans, like, I had a trauma happen to me, therefore I now have a story attached to me. That’s why my temperament is the way it is. I deeply believe, and I was a trauma specialist; that’s where I started in healing first. I get to say this: I deeply believe that we are hardwired to be very resilient and that we are hardwired to rise, to meet life’s challenges, and to process them at the appropriate time. What interrupts us is this high toxic burden that can shift our temperament so much. Aluminum makes you ADHD highly anxious, slow brain, foggy, ALS, and Alzheimer’s. You add in mercury from mom, from your amalgam fillings, or fish. Yes. or from your lipstick, honestly. then you’re getting, that mercurial temperament that now we say mercurial. It’s from Mercury.  It’s a wild swing in emotion.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Is Mercury in a retrograde mood? The planet Mercury. Why, that’s a favorite too. I might say that all the time.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Time because Mercury retrograded.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Tell me about the air and Mercury.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Because mercury vaporizes at room temperature, it’s easy to inhale this stuff, and in this way, you’re more likely to find that those top sources of mercury are going to be the dental work mom and personal care products where you’re absorbing it. You’re more likely to get aluminum, barium, and strontium, which are well-understood to be part of our pollution ecosystem at this point. The trouble with this is that you may have had a urine test or a blood test to say heavy metals, and you might be listening to this going.  thank goodness this isn’t a big issue for me. I did a urine test or I did bloodwork with my functional medicine doctor, and, well, that’s not the best way to assess your heavy metal load.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Chances are, if it comes out normally, you’ve got heavy metals because there are no nontoxic people left on planet Earth. We’re all exposed to this stuff. In the few minutes we have left in this first part of our interview, I want to shift to radioactive elements, and can you connect?  because these are the worst heavy metals. Can you connect it? It’s hard to say that this is the worst. There’s a lot of bad. But also, can you connect how these metals set you up with an environment that is just perfect for parasites and infections?

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

This is the interesting thing about heavy metals and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements are just the heaviest metals. Certain forms of charged metals continue to create damage in a whole new special way in the body. It’s fascinating. But you have to think about what the body’s strategies are for this. When you think of terrain theory, you have some great experts here talking about terrain theory, which is so important for us to understand. Your toxin bucket has been filling up. with the aluminum. With the mercury. the radioactive elements. I’ll talk about how you get exposed to those in a second. If you fill that bucket enough, your body only has a few options. It wants to excrete those things. But you have detox pathways that have become compromised and overloaded by the sheer range of toxins you’re exposed to, including these heavy metals and radioactive elements. Also, we didn’t evolve with these to let go of them. We don’t let go of them very efficiently.

It costs the body a lot of energy to get the stuff out, and there’s a lot of recirculation, mostly of the right binders on board and all that. What can the body do? Goes into storage. You want to get these things as far away from the vital organs as possible because not only are they creating damage everywhere they go to healthy cells, disrupting the nervous system, and suppressing the immune system, but they also create stagnation. What love stagnation and infections? Parasites, and they can set up shop. Your immune system is not in a position to fight back. You’re right. It’s not stupid. It knows that these are here. These damaging elements and it knows that these pathogens, these parasites, are here. But it also knows that these parasites will hold the heavy metals and the radioactive elements for you. They’re here to be your toxic sponges. The problem is that they come at such a high cost, so you get symptoms from mercury, aluminum, and yes, radioactive elements. We’ll talk about this. But the symptoms are, and then you also get symptoms from parasites. That could be what is driving most of what you think of as your health illness. your health condition, which you just like.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

You just dropped a huge bomb, so the metals are setting up a shop for all the infections to thrive. This very much differs from, I would say, a Western medicine and most functional medicine perspective on what’s happening here and how to solve it. We’re going to get into that next. I want to thank you so much for,  contributing to this first part of our talk today. Thank you for joining us. To our audience, I hope you found the conversation insightful and helpful. We’re going to keep going and talk about solutions and how to solve this. If you’re a summit purchaser, stay right here because we’re about to dive even deeper into this discussion with Sinclair. If not, click on the button on this page to get access to a continuation of this conversation and many others, and get all the tools you need to reclaim your health. 

If you’re watching this continuation of my talk with Sinclair, thank you for being a valuable member of our community, and let’s dive right back in. Sinclair, I would love to start. Well, let’s start by unpacking some of those symptoms, and then we’ll go into solutions. How do that you might have metals just overloaded in your body.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

It’s a great question. Let’s look at radioactive elements specifically. When I think about how to spot radioactive elements, I always think about the client I have. And she was like one of those unfixable, she was like the gluten-free yogi who still felt like crap. Yes. She was running a busy doctor’s office and,  running circles around everybody in her life. But she felt awful, and she had for decades, no matter what she tried and she had hair loss, she had to wear a wig to work. She had a thyroid issue that had been very longstanding. She had hypothyroidism, which then developed into a full-blown autoimmune condition. She had skin issues that were unexplainable and seemed to come and go. She had fatigue; she had anemia. She had difficulty achieving a deep state of rest in a way that’s almost hard to describe.  

If you’re listening, like, if you’ve ever been that exhausted, you don’t even have the energy to rest. That’s what her life was like. What else did she have? Osteoporosis. That’s another huge sign of radioactive element poisoning. It’s also cognitive stuff. She was intelligent, but she struggled to track things. She had to work so hard just to get the basics. This is like, I just want you to know if you’re listening to this. All of this is fixable. But some other signs could be,  an issue for you. You may have a different hormonal issue; maybe the pituitary hypothalamus doesn’t have to be the thyroid because radioactive elements are hard on the endocrine system as well as the nervous system. Other ones are like dry eyes, dry mouth, dental problems, or your teeth are just like you go to the dentist and they’re like, Those roots died.

Now we have to take this out. You’re like, What? This took us six months ago? Like, it’s that thing. Another one would be a loss of appetite or your taste buds change. Your vision is deteriorating faster than you think it should, just all the gut stuff, honestly, like the thing about chronic conditions that’s so hard is it could be a sign of radioactive elements, mercury, aluminum, or pathogens. The list goes on and on and on.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

It’s affecting every nook and cranny and part of your body. We could probably sit here and list symptoms and conditions for 20 minutes.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

We literally could. It wouldn’t even scratch the surface for just mercury, aluminum, uranium, and,  radium. The thing that’s difficult about radioactive elements is that you’re like, that’s from something far away. I don’t live near a nuclear plant. I don’t live near Fukushima, and I haven’t visited Chernobyl. Why would that be an issue for me? The truth is, that most of our radioactive element exposure is from the groundwater itself. It’s naturally occurring deep under the earth’s surface, like in the water table. With the amount of fracking that we have done in recent decades, a lot of that has gotten mobilized, because of the way that our hydration has been shifting across our planet. You might be drilling further and further down to get to the water that has just been slightly contaminated with radioactive elements.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

We’ve had talks before where you suspect that there are we think about spring water because if I drink spring water, that there are the springs around the planet where we think we’re getting clean water is contaminated as well.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Everybody wants it. They don’t like my answer about what to drink. I’m like, well, where are you? Well, my thoughts are with water. They don’t want it. No, it won’t. The filters are not designed to filter out radioactive elements that are so difficult to filter out. What does that leave us with? I should do spring water because it’s naturally occurring. No, Laura discovered that for you. What should I do? Well, we suggest distilled water for this reason. What?

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Sinclair, if I drink distilled water, it’s going to leach minerals out of my bones.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Yes, well, that.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

As I facetiously and laughingly say, unpack that so that everybody feels safe.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

That has been debunked over and over again. We have, like the Cornell or Yale spin on The New York Times, some letters to the editor like distilled water is going to kill me. Like, no, that’s been debunked. Like that, this is well understood now. Distilled water will do for you is help mobilize non-bioavailable minerals out of the body. What your body terms as these are in the wrong form, these are junk, or these are toxins. I can’t use them. Your body is very specific about what minerals and metals it needs, and they need to be predigested by plants and animals for us. We’re not designed to get our minerals from our water source.

The one exception to that would be the glacier water, where you’ve had hundreds of thousands of years to break down these metals. Fiji is a good example of that. The Italian Alps are a good example of that. That’s why they had such a proliferation of great societies there for a while, but also the Roman Empire. Why did that crumble? Because everybody went insane. They were using lead heavy metals for their jewelry to store their wine as plates like that’s what happened there. We have to consider the wide-ranging impact of the stuff.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

That was trivia for you. People are taking that to Christmas dinner. Seriously? Thanksgiving dinner. It’s so good. Distilled water all the way. This is what we do in our house as well. and you recommend this to your community. I learned this concept from you. thank you.  Of course, we’ve shifted my whole family. I can remember the first time I met you. full disclosure to everyone. I share this. I hired Sinclair to kill my husband because I couldn’t do it myself. When she started working with my husband, I was scratching my head. What are all these things you’re recommending? I never heard this when I studied at the IFM, the Institute of Functional Medicine. What is it? What are all these things you’re recommending? This doesn’t. This is like nothing I’ve ever learned. Of course, then I went right under your wing and mentored you and your partner, Michael. This is a huge shout-out because if you’re a practitioner and you want to learn more like Sinclair runs practitioner programs, you’re beta testing them right now, and you might do more in the future. Working on conferences and all kinds of cool stuff. But anyway, you can learn more from Sinclair. But this was impactful. Now my whole family, my parents, my siblings, everybody drinks distilled water. We show up for holidays with our distillers and have dual distillers, like running, because we have a whole family together and we run two or three distillers set up so that there’s plenty of clean water for everybody. 

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

What we do makes us happy. My first question when I have to go somewhere, like to a conference or something, is: can I drive? Can I bring my distillery?

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

I brought an enormous suitcase to the last conference, which everybody made fun of. It was full of my essentials, which included a water distiller. They’re so they’re southwest delivered it for me to Arizona. But, it was so funny.  so what else can we do? start drinking distilled water to get the radioactive elements out? Let’s shift to solutions here. Let’s bust some myths about solutions that people think work is not working, and maybe also about the order of operations to solve this. Because, like I said, you don’t just run in like G.I. Joe, and just start pulling metal out. You’ve got to do some prep work.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

That’s well said. I’m so glad you’re giving us time to cover this right now because there are a lot of dangerous myths that persist about heavy metal detox out there. It’s far easier to crash yourself with what is considered acceptable today in Western medicine, in functional medicine, or even,  from your natural health practitioner, because they want to go in like cowboys with the stuff and mobilize everything too fast. We want to do some foundational prep work. One of the things that you can consider is, Where am I still being exposed? Assume that you are concerned about your air pollution,  in that you are with your water until you distill it, and get something on Amazon, guys. You can go to my pure water com as a distiller, but you can also get,  like the Mega Home. They’re also cheaper knockoffs of them that make a home on the Amazon, like  Laura, and I are here to tell you to figure out a goal. Once you have your water source secured and you’re considering, how can I, within my budget, filter the air in my home because there’s a way to do something? Then we can start looking at, like, where is my food being stored? What is my food getting cooked in? You can cover that with other people, so I’m going to skip right to the healing part. We don’t want to go right after heavy metals and radioactive elements first. We need to do foundational gut healing and resell the gut lining. We need to wake up the mitochondria, and we should start offloading pathogens now. 

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

I just want to pause and say that we’ve heard this again and again from our speakers. You need to start with gut health; you need mitochondrial energy support; and you do need to start getting rid of some of those pathogens first. People will argue this, and they’ll say, no. But the parasites are containers for metals. If I take those parasites out, won’t I get sick? I explain it as if we’re doing a waltz, we’re doing, I don’t know, a merengue, it’s whatever dance it is. But there is an ebb and flow to this. We’re in a dance with our immune system, with the parasites, with the metals, and with the toxins, and you’ve got to start moving some of that out. I just want to highlight that again because I don’t want to go through it too fast because this is so critical. Like, what you’re sharing right now is whoever you’re working with—our viewers, whoever’s working with you—make sure they’ve got this dialed in.  keep going.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

This is crucial, understand? Because once you have an overburden of toxins, which if you’re alive today, you do then your body requires that pathogenic pleomorphic to take place. All these infections crop up, and all these pathogens start setting up shop and absorbing these toxins for you. But yes, driving your symptoms comes at a huge cost because they eat first. They’re eating first, and they get the first crack at your nutrients, your neurotransmitters, your serotonin, and your GABA. Who you are, is receding and shrinking. Think about what shape you need to be in to offload toxic elements. You need energy to do that. You need a functioning digestive system, and you need to be able to utilize your nutrients. What that means is that we get to do some prep work first.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

What does that prep work look like?

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

It looks like drainage. 

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

But I do not want to be a female draining anything. I just want to tell you that.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

I get that because, when I was learning the stuff the hard way because I was so sick,  it sounded like a lot of work, first of all. I’m inherently,  I was like, is there a shortcut or something?

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

You’re a work.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

All the time. You didn’t know that about me.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

I do, but I also know you’re, like, made out of steel. There’s this side of you that is a grinder. Like, you’re made of hard stuff, but you’re woozy, too.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

I have phenomenal stamina to take care of other people when it comes to my health I’m a little on the woozy side, and I would rather be like, is there a baby version of this, or a shortcut? You can blame that on a lot of things, but that was my first set of instincts when I was feeling. I had to grow into the capacity to do this deep work. I say, if I can do it, you can do it.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

I’m the opposite of you. Do you remember working with me? I’m like, faster. How can I go harder? Give me more. 

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Slow down. You’re in trouble with me.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

You made me stop. You’re like, no, this is not a race.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

You were like, more is better right now. Here’s what we want to consider. We want to reseal the lining and support the drainage. What does drainage mean? It means we’re going to support our body’s strategies for letting go. If you are healthy, you’re able to easily absorb what your body wants and easily let go of what your body doesn’t want. That’s what drainage is—health is returning to a state of flow. Illness is stagnation. Stagnation is toxins, pathogens, parasites, and infections; health is flow. We need a lot of drainage to return to a state of flow. If we’re going to get out of these toxins, we need the exits, like the pathways to the exits. Clear. We need to get some of this junk out of us. This means you have to be pooping. Sorry, that’s not optional. If you’re not pooping, you’re not allowed to detox.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Poop every day. 

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Exactly. Flushing out that colon you want to be restoring the gut motility you want to be. Then, from up there, we would do more liver support work in what we would call the drainage funnel. How can we get those 2000 miles of bile ducts flowing again? Because they’ve gotten crunchy, sticky, and sluggish with all their toxin exposure, which is the perfect environment for parasites. We’re energizing the body by moving those gears again, clearing out the pathways to the exits, which means you’ve got to get some of these pathogens out. You have got to go after the big worms in the gut. then you can start going after things like those biofilms and some of the more systemic infections later that are housing and trapping,  the aluminum, the mercury, etc.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

For me as well as you. Sinclair, I did a gut test, and I didn’t see any worms on my gut test. So, I have worms.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

You’re dead wrong.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Well, tell me more about that.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

If I believed my gut tests, I would still be sick. If we just saw, like, if the absence of parasites on my stool test means that there’s an absence of parasites in my body, that’s not true. There’s just a limitation to this right now, guys, that we can’t have this magical thinking about what? The solutions that are commercially available to us in terms of testing are a good layer of information.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

But tons of good information and a gut test. Not the most ideal way to find parasites. The best way to find parasites is to catch them. The protocol is pooping them out.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

That’s what my group is doing in the toilet. you to think about, like, how long a technician spends with just one little smear from one little stool sample from you and think like a parasite as if you’re a parasite in your body. Are you going to go out with the poop? No, you’re not. Some of the eggs might, depending on the time of month, depend on the bound movement, depending on your strategy for repopulation. But you might be laying your eggs in the lungs, like strands. Or if it is, you don’t need it.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

To go in and hang out in the gut, back and forth, back and forth with food. Hey, let’s go layer eggs over here where they can’t get out except for when somebody is coughing, hacking fit, and coughing. Strongly laid eggs right into your eyes.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

You’ll never sit next to somebody on the bus again.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

You’ll be like, Oh, I’ll stand over. The things we talk about. So what else?

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

This is how we’re thinking about it. We’re. We’re opening up drainage; we’re waking up the mitochondria, saying, You’ve been through a lot, and it’s time to stop being in that cell signal danger response mode and go back into energy production. We’re creating safety with the nervous system. We’re creating stability in the body. Look, here are some observable nutrients. Look where we seal the gut lining. Hey, let’s create more energy again,  and let’s flush some of this junk out.  Now that we’ve been through our first big wave of parasite cleanse, we can start looking at rotating from binders that were mopping up parasite poop and peeing those endotoxins that are irritating to you, very toxic, changing your behavior, or keeping you from sleeping. All the things driving inflammation. Now we can start rotating two other binders that would effectively mop up the heavy metals because your body’s been energized. If you’ve lowered the load enough, the body could start looking at how to gently start drawing the stuff out. I emphasized gently, and I used the word drying out for a reason: We want to work with the body. We don’t want to override the body. If you do heavy metal chelation out of nowhere with some dummy you found on the internet. I should start with a different way to say that. Promises a heavy metal detox over the weekend or something, and it’s the right price for you. Please be more discerning than that from now on and step away from that, because pushing too hard, too fast, and drawing heavy metals out from deep in the tissues can set off a gut response. Those pathogens need to have diarrhea. We didn’t hear people like this all the time who have had diarrhea for like two years after going through this intense I.V. chelation protocol that they were never prepared for. We want to think about drying out and binding up metals after we’ve set the stage for release.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

A lot of your practice has been in helping people who have seen just scores of practitioners and not gotten well.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

All the practitioners can’t help themselves, which is fair because what we went to school for no longer applies in so many ways. 

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

I realized that as soon as I met you and Michael, I realized, like, what I learned is that solving the problem is not for people. I brought people through a lot of protocols that didn’t give them the results that they were looking for. I was just grateful that you were willing to take me under your wing and say, Let me show you the way; let me show you all this that you’re never going to learn in American Functional Medicine School. They know what we’re talking about here: bio-regulatory medicine that comes from Germany and Switzerland. There are lots of people at this summit. Michael Karlfeldt, Christine Schaffner, Kelly Kennedy, and Sharon Stills. There are lots of people here that you can listen to at this summit to learn more about what we’re talking about. The summit is packed with people who know this type of healing process for good reason because it works.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Now, I love your taste in speakers.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

We’re all friends. It’s so synchronous. It’s been amazing. We could go on and on. I would love to give you the floor to just any other pearls of wisdom; anything we didn’t cover that you just think is, we need to cover. Then we also want to make sure our audience knows where to find you, how to work with you, and where to find your programs. Please if you want, I would love for you to talk about any upcoming projects that you have, too, because,  we have an audience of health consumers and practitioners, so the floor is yours.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Thank you. Appreciate that. The first thing I want you guys to remember is that if we’re talking about this, it’s because it’s flexible.

It doesn’t matter how long you have been struggling with the health issue; your body still remembers how to heal. It just needs strategic support. The right thing, right time, right order. You may have even worked in this world before and used some of the products that Laura and I like. But you may not have used them in the right order. It comes down to the stack and what your body is ready for. You need to work with a skilled practitioner who understands that and is there to guide you through it. So all of it is fixable. It’s just a project because we’re working with the body’s strategies. I want you to come away from this excited and hopeful, like, I’m not too broken. I was patient, and the doctors didn’t know what to do with me. The higher up the specialist, the less they knew what to do with me, and it was discouraging. I remember that feeling, but that will end because the information is available right now. Yes, we do. We have a robust campus with lots of different ways to take courses from us,  parasites,  heavy metals, and all those things.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

We talked about today.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Supporting your liver to do stagnant, saving your gallbladder, all the things we do, our practitioner mentorship, and how to, circle through understanding how to treat root causes and address them in an appropriate order while supporting the person instead of crashing them. That’s important. We have an exciting project coming up later this year—a bigger stage and venue for those of us who care about bringing this medicine to you and making sure to be empowered to do so.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

That’s after the airing of this project, which is going to be in February 2024. Your big event is not until the summer. We’re watching this very year.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

I didn’t even catch that. 

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

You’re going to be in the summer of 2024, so just stay tuned. Get on Sinclair’s e-mail list, and she’ll send you the details.

Excellent. For Instagram, it’s @detoxrejuvenation.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

You can take our root cause quizzes. Those are great self-assessments. Which of these is driving my symptoms? That’s a great race.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

Perfect. Thank you so much, Sinclair. I love doing life with you. I love, our friendship and our time together teaching people. It’s just lovely to spend this time with you. Thank you for imparting all your wisdom. Many of our viewers can’t wait to get a hold of you.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

I can’t wait to hold everybody together for this. Like, you’re just an amazing advocate in this space.

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

I forgot to mention one more biotech person, Isaac Elias, too. I’m thinking, like, who are all the people?

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC

Like, you think I was missing somebody?

Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC

He’s here, too, so make sure you go watch all the speakers. I love pulling all these people together. It’s so much fun. Well, thank you, Sinclair. Until next time, everyone. Take care. Bye now.
