Welcome to another episode of the, “Restore Your Mitochondrial Matrix Summit”. I’m your host, Laura Frontiero. I’m bringing you experts to help you boost your energy and fix your health so you can build the life you love. And today my guest is Sinclair Kennally. Hi Sinclair. Welcome to the summit.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Hi, Hon, so great to be here. This is an amazing event you put together.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Thank you. So audience watching you are in for a special treat. Sinclair is not only a dear friend of mine, but she is a expert in the space of mitochondrial health in root cause medicine, gut health, helping people get their energy back, helping people solve chronic health conditions that nobody else could solve. And I’m just really excited to have you here.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yay. Well, let’s do this.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Okay. Well, formally you are a chronic illness survivor turned health activist. You’re an expert on chronic digestive illnesses. You’re the CEO of Detox, RejuveNation.com and host of your Health Reset podcast. And your expertise is helping people discover the real reasons behind their health issues and take their power back. Yeah. So you also happen to teach practitioners how to address the root causes of chronic conditions through your program, “Root Cause Certified”. So that’s all really exciting as well. You’ve helped thousands of clients and students to heal from complex issues. So could you start off by sharing with us a little bit about your own story, because that is where it all started. You had a tremendously horrible illness that nobody could figure out. So tell us about that.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah, it’s a really fine uplifting story. So I think what’s important for context is just that, you know, I’m very much the reluctant health advocate. Like this was not my idea. I care about this the hard way. And I think that many of us do end up becoming our own health advocates, right. CEOs of our own health journey. It’s like, “Oh, okay, no one’s gonna figure me out. Then I’m gonna start watching summits. I’m gonna start digging in. I’m gonna start going. I need to be my own best advocate because no one’s gonna care about my health like me”. And that’s what happened for me.
Michael and I, Michael was my love and my partner and all things. He and I were living the dream. We were in mental health. We were building our practices. And what I thought I did was that I overworked myself and became sick. But what I see now is that looking back, that I had decades of early warning signs, which we can talk about in this master class together. that could have clued me in, if I’d known what to look for. And I think in this day and age, we actually finally do. You’ve actually gathered just in this event alone, so many experts that can help people see the signs along the way before they crash, like I had to, to really get the wake up call. So I actually ended up in the hospital. They could not figure me out. They couldn’t tell if I had like a serious heart defect or, you know, what my gut issues were about. So test after test, MRIs, cat scans, I’m watching the bill go up and absolutely panicking.
Cause I thought, “Oh, these are the white coats. They’ll know what to do with me. They’ll have answers finally”. And the truth was anything, but, and I actually checked my own self out of that hospital. I pulled on my jeans, kept the hospital gown on and wobbled out to the parking lot. Michael was actually practically carrying me and I thought I was going home to die, to be honest with you because the gut pain was so intense. The joint pain was so bad. The panic was so crippling that I couldn’t think, I couldn’t function. So I wish I could tell you that from there we had this wonderful epiphany, but it really, it actually took us eight years from there to figure out what was going on with me. Eight years, where for most of the time I couldn’t read an email. I couldn’t write a sentence. I couldn’t stand up for five minutes at a time. I couldn’t walk to the back of my own office building to see my own employees.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
It’s unbelievable.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
A lot of hard moments.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah. You mentioned that there’s clues and signs before you crash and you also mentioned something important, you said, you thought you’d just worked yourself too hard. Now there’s a lot of people watching the summit right now who are working themselves hard and they’re having symptoms and they’re having maybe clues and they’re thinking maybe it’s just because I’m burning the candle at both ends and yes, that’s probably contributing to not getting well, but what are some of those clues and signs that you might be crashing?
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
That’s a good question. ‘Cause you’re like the Patron Saint of high achievers, right? That’s your audience? You’re their guide, right? So let’s protect our sweet high achievers. I had a lot of anxiety and exhaustion. I would call it exhaustion, not fatigue. You know, I didn’t think of it as like a medical term. I thought of it as just like I am over-scheduled, I am overbooked. I’m doing too much and I can’t keep up with myself and what I’m generating for myself in terms of opportunities and the vision that I had, you know, for my life. My body just could not keep up with it. But when I look back at who I was as a kid, you know, I was very outgoing, but I had a lot of gut issues. I was a sensitive picky eater.
I spent a lot of time nauseous, you know, there were early signs of like being chemically sensitive, you know, new shirts, I would break out in rashes. I got strep a lot, you know, and I became very withdrawn and anxiety prone as soon as I got amalgam fillings put in. We didn’t make the connection at the time. People were blaming, you know, puberty and teenager hood and you know, all the things. But I actually developed a really bad eating disorder, so bad that I couldn’t finish the ninth grade. And at the time, you know, they chalked it up to mental health issues and that’s certainly part of it. And I’m so glad we’re having a more sophisticated conversation about mental health today. But when I look back at my signs and symptoms, what I see is a teenager who is having an impulsed fast as a way to self regulate autoimmune symptoms. Okay.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
So you were fasting? You weren’t having an eating disorder, you were literally fasting because you felt better when you fasted?
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
I felt better when I fasted, I felt more like myself and I also was very toxic from the several mercury fillings. And I did have a desire to hurt myself, that all came together for me. And I finally realized that that’s what that was, because it’s not normal to wanna hurt yourself. Like when you look at teenagers today, like the self-harming stuff, that’s going on. And I know we have a lot of moms in the audience, you know, who we’re watching kids who are their children’s peers go through this and maybe your own children. Mercury toxicity from Amalgam fillings, whether it’s yours before, you know, you were pregnant, or you know, whether it’s your own child’s, that can be enough in and of itself to create the desire for self-harm. So there was the two things together.
And I think for a lot of people with exhaustion, especially high achievers who’re so good at pushing through. We’re so good at pushing past to get to the goal. And I’m a fourth generation entrepreneur, like I was told, you know, you push through to the get to the goal or you don’t get the goal. You may as well go home. So everything that I had learned in our American culture at my family’s home was telling me to ignore my body. And we really didn’t understand what the factors were. So that was all happening before I even got into my twenties and started getting genuinely ill, genuine, like serious digestive issues to the point where by the time I got to the hospital, you know, every time I ate, I would have searing gut pain, like to the point where I couldn’t tell if my guts were ripping apart.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
You know, you just said something that really strikes a chord with me. You said you were taught to ignore your body. And what I realized when you said that is, that’s what we teach in Allopathic medicine too.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
We teach, you know, I spent 20 years in that model before I discovered integrative and functional medicine. And we really, I can’t tell you how many times a patient would come in and say, “I just know something’s wrong. I just know, you know, I’ve tried these treatments and prescriptions and I just have a sense that there’s something else”. And what do we tell them? “You’re wrong”.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
“You’re wrong, don’t listen to your body”.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah. Your labs look fine. And that’s more important than.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
What I know how to assess about your body tells me that my assessment of you is more important than what you know about yourself.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah. Yeah. And so then you start to not trust yourself.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah. And this is why I’m so glad that you’re doing this event and that you have really taken up this charge for the high achievers out there. Because I think a lot of us push through until we finally get sick enough to merit a diagnosis. You know, when really there was mitochondrial dysfunction all along the way, there was gut dysfunction. There were signs of a stagnant liver. There was, you know, brain fog and compromised cognition and you know, all the signs were there, you know, the easy overwhelm, easy irritation, you know, that resilience where you get to have that pause between stressor and reaction is gone. It’s like stress, reaction, stress reaction, you know?
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people watching right now can identify with that. So there’s a bunch of hidden causes of, you know, chronic disease and low energy, chronic symptoms. We have experts coming on this summit talking specifically about one topic. And you’re really good about bringing this all together because it’s not always just one thing for people. So could you shed some light on what are the main, hidden root causes of chronic health problems in low energy that you see? And some that might be kind of categorized together? What do you see hand in hand with each other?
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
In your practice.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
That’s a good question. So, well, I can share in the context of my own story, what it turned out that I had was not just one thing, you know, and the diagnoses that I finally got, ’cause I was finally sick enough over the years. We’re really just trying to describe that my body had been disrupted by these root causes. So words like fibromyalgia, you know, words like even Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune disease. Words like Epstein-Barr virus. Well, Epstein-Barr virus is not actually the root cause. It’s an opportunist and I might get some hate mail from that, but it really is only there because the terrain has become toxic. The mitochondria have become sluggish. They cannot keep up. You know, they cannot produce enough energy to maintain a healthy environment and flush out the waste.
You know? So yeah, EBV becomes a big deal and yeah, I had Lyme and Lyme-Co infections, but again, those aren’t a root cause. Those are also opportunists. Easily over a million people a year, by most conservative estimates, get exposed and contract Lyme disease a year, but less than a hundred thousand of those actually develop into Lyme disease. That’s significant. And some estimates put that exposure and that contraction much higher. So what’s the difference between the two? It’s if your terrain has already become toxic with real root causes and your mitochondria can’t keep up with basic cellular metabolic function.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Talk a little bit about terrain. So when you say terrain, let’s make sure the audience understands what you mean by terrain.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
So it’s a little cheeky reference to terrain theory, which is the opposite of germ theory. Lois Pasteur says, germ theory, “Oh, bugs are at to getcha. They’re the problem”. And Bechamp is the one who talked about terrain theory, which is the opposite. He’s a contemporary of Louis and he was the real deal. And he talked about how we actually, our body is the terrain. So our extra cellular tissue, our cellular matrix itself, you know, our tissues, our organs, our systems are the terrain. And if we keep those clear and flowing in a state of flow, our body wants to be in a state of flow. It has to be to thrive. Then it can continually regenerate and offload what’s no longer needed, including normal metabolic waste as well as toxins and toxic exposures.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
So when the terrain is not well, then these opportunistic infections like Lyme, EBV, can show up parasites, but they’re not the real problem. So what’s the real problem, Sinclair, what is really the root cause?
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
So when you look at the real root causes of what is happening today, you know, Allopathic medicine wants to blame everything first on genetics, everything that’s possible. Can we blame everything possible on genetics please? And then maybe we get disproven along the way, but this is actually the opposite. When we look at, in this one statistic, we’ll point you in the right direction, right? Everybody listening. In the 1960s, we had 4% of the population had a chronic illness, 4% of the adult population. Yeah. And today it’s over 60% of the adult population has a chronic, a diagnosed chronic illness. Now that includes many people listening and also many people who don’t feel well, who know, you guys know you have a big enough problem that you’re becoming a summit junkie and you’re listening to hours of this stuff, but you may not have a diagnosis yet. You’re not even a part of that number. So what has changed between now and then?
What’s changed is our environmental toxin exposure, the way we make our food and process it, what we add to it, right? So this doesn’t have to be like some exotic thing. Like you don’t have to grow up in a factory like I did. You can get just from your exposure from food, air and water, that’s it, maybe some prescription drugs, maybe some personal care products, but it really comes down to food, air and water. What’s in that? Industrial chemicals, heavy metals. And then of course my favorite mold and EMFs, right? So EMFs are electric magnetic fields. And it’s not just about this guy, right? People are becoming smarter and smarter about what EMFs are, but it’s much more than your cell phone. It’s also dirty electricity, the lighting, the blue light, right? It’s also your wifi routers. Yes, radiation. But even the wiring errors in your walls. Like for me, I got sickest when I was sleeping in six to seven volts at night. That’s where my bed was. It was up against a wiring error and that’s literally getting fried alive. Anything over one volt is considered catastrophic to your health.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
And you put the router under your bed. I know this story.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Oh God. Yeah. That was really not my best move. Yeah. So when I moved in with Michael, you know, we were in the honeymoon phase and like the world is shining brightly. Everything’s gonna go great. We put the wifi router under the bed because it was ugly. And I didn’t wanna look at the wires. Yeah. And where it was placed in the house is in our bedroom.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
So that’s a problem because when you are asleep, you need to regenerate and you cannot do that in the presence of radiation. Your tissues cannot regenerate. When you are asleep, you need to be detoxing, but you cannot build your complex detox enzyme chains in the presence of wifi. When you’re asleep, you need to be at deep rest. But your pineal gland is not like your eyes, your eyes can’t see the frequency of wifi, but your pineal gland can. And it experiences it as if you’re trying to sleep with the lights on, like under fluorescence basically.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah. And people are all the time. People are all the time saying, “I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep”. Well, have you looked at the amount of dirty electricity in your walls or the EMFs coming at you? It could just be that.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah. Yeah. And people say, “Well, I can’t get away from this stuff”. Right. I can hear the overwhelm now. It’s okay guys. We’ve got you. Laura’s got you. I’ve got you. She’s got all the smarty pants lined up in the summit for you that are gonna, you know, zero in on one of these topics at a time. What I really want you to understand is that these all fit together and they layer on top of each other. And one root cause plus one root cause does not equal two, in terms of distress, it equals more like one plus one equals like 111, as wifi plus mold makes mold 600 times or more toxic. Right.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
So it compounds, what I’m hearing is it just compounds. It’s not typically one root cause. There’s multiple.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah. Yeah. And the thing about those of us who’ve done the functional medicine circuit, right. You know, so you end up going to one naturopath, who’s an expert in, I don’t know, mercury or one, you know, doctor who really is obsessed with mold. That’s great. Or one doctor who’s obsessed with Lyme and co-infections or a doctor who thinks it’s the root of everything is EBV.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Parasites.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Parasites. Yeah. Parasites are our friends guys. I’m gonna get hate mail about that too, but…
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Well, they’re your friends until they’re not.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
They’re your friends with side effects not benefit.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yes. So they’re explain what you mean by that. They’re your friends because?
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
So they’re our friends because they’re here to act as toxic sponges, sponges for toxins, because our body is in such a state of overwhelm that our immune system cannot fight properly against these pathogens that we get exposed to all the time, whether it’s mono cellular little parasites or the big, scary gut worms that our clients get out all the time. I was working with this adorable 67 year old woman today, who’s like, she measures every single one. She needs to know the inches.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Oh.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Because she suffered for decades. She has to have the proof. And so she’s like, “And I got out this 22 inch one yesterday, and I got this 12 inch one today”. And she’s in it, man. But she’s also seeing with every parasite that leaves her body and every liver cholesterol stone that leaves her body, a little bit of her energy come back, a little bit of her mental focus come back. So parasites, yeah. They come in and act as sponges for these toxins, the environmental chemicals, like the industrial toxins, herbicides, pesticides, all that fun stuff that’s in our food, air and water. And they also mop up the heavy metals that are also in our food, air and water. And they also hold the mold, the lime, the EBV for us. So if we just try to come in and blast them in a three week parasite cleanse, we feel awful, right. Our energy tanks, right. It does the opposite of what we were hoping because we have just re-toxified ourself. And we also didn’t do it for long enough to disrupt the parasite life cycle.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah. This is not a one weekend or even a one month thing. This is a process to remove these out safely, effectively. And it’s all about detoxing, those chemicals that you’re talking about.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah. So what we teach our practitioners and our students and you know, the people who come through our practice, is that what you wanna do is assess the layers of these root causes. If you feel fatigued, if you feel not like yourself, if you feel like you have less than optimal cognition, so easily overwhelmed, irritated, hard for you to problem solve in the moment, difficult to learn. You know, if you’re not sleeping well, if you have an ever more sensitive gut that you have to start problem solving around, maybe you tend towards constipation. Maybe it’s towards diarrhea. Maybe you have bloating. Maybe you can’t eat certain heavy foods anymore that are technically healthy, but you can’t do it because of the fat content, that’s another warning sign, right? Then you need to start looking at what have I been exposed to?
Because our exposure has ramped up so quickly in just the last couple of decades so that we went from 4% to over 60% ill. So what can we do about it? Well, we can start by mitochondrial support, right? We have to go direct to the cells, wake up our lovely mitochondria friends, give them the nutrients that they need that are basically predigested to wake them back up so that we can start to return to a state of flow. Then we can start detoxing, but a lot of people skip that step. And that’s why some of your audience crashes with other people, because they’re like, “Wow, heavy metals, bad”. Chelate, like, woo. That is a really fast way to crash yourself or, oh, mold, you gotta push that out, but you don’t have any energy support in place and you don’t have enough liver support and you’re not returning a state of flow to the whole body. We’re never gonna outsmart the body. Right? The body is in perfect harmony when it has what it needs to maintain itself. So how can we support that and how can we support the body to heal itself instead of overriding it? That’s the question that I want everybody to ask. And that’s what I want you listening to think about as you’re interviewing your next practitioner or you’re considering what group course to take or what DIY thing to do. Ask yourself, does this guide understand the way Laura here, for example, knows so intimately, the order that the body requires support so that it can heal itself.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Absolutely. I’m so glad you’re outlining this and you’re the only person on this summit that’s outlining it in this way. So thank you for your expertise in this. And I hope everybody who’s listening, you go back, rewind, take notes, and we’ll tell you how to get ahold of Sinclair when we’re done here too. But I wanna pick her brain about a few more things. And that is specifically liver congestion for women over 40. ‘Cause this is something you’d love to talk about. This is a huge thing.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
And if this isn’t addressed all that removal of toxins, we just talked about, is not going to work because the liver congestion will prevent the success. So break that down for us.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah. So, okay. Let’s do this. Who’s ready to get excited about their livers? Okay. I want you to think about this as we talk about the liver in relationship to your mitochondria always, because everybody out there who’s got mitochondrial supplement, that’s not good enough. Okay? It’s not enough to provide a little bit of stimulus to the mitochondria so that they wake up and move a little faster. Right? What we want is for that to be step one. And then we wanna do a systemic flush of the things that made the mitochondria toxic and sluggish in the first place. Otherwise you’re gonna keep, you’re gonna kick the can down the road. You’re gonna keep getting more and more problems. So if the root causes are all these toxins and mold and heavy metals and things, and then you get these secondary root causes that come in as opportunists, what is the thing holding us back from healing? Literally stagnation. It’s literally an overburden. It’s basically a giant backlog. Okay. So in 2008 we had about 10 toxins per cell, both Europeans and Americans, which is an enormous body burden. This is a massive study done with well over 1200 subjects, 10 toxins per cell. That’s a lot. And that’s a lot for the mitochondria to deal with, especially when the mitochondria can actually become sluggish on contact with things like aluminum. When we’re living in the age of aluminum and it’s in every packaged food, every personal care product, it’s in your dry shampoo, it’s in the air, not good.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
It’s in all the food you’re eating in restaurants. ‘Cause they cook in aluminum pans.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yes.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
If you wanna know why, they’re lightweight and the chefs can flip them easily. I know, my brother’s a chef. They don’t use cast iron or stainless steel.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
I know, I love that you talk about this people, because we really have to demystify this, right?
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
So okay. 10 toxins per sell in 2008. Well in 2018 the study was redone and we had jumped to 500 toxins per cell, 500.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
10 to 500. Like how are we even still alive?
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
I know. Right? Well and this is where it shows up. It shows up in fatigue or exhaustion, brain issues, skin rashes, gut issues, excess weight, excess weight’s a big one. Right? So your body’s trying to protect itself. It’s trying to survive. It’s wanting to store this stuff in as far away as possible from your vital organs as it can manage. Can’t always do that. So heavy metals lipophilic, they go into the brain, they go into the thyroid, hello, little guy and your liver just can’t keep up. And that’s really what becomes like the crux of this for us, which is why I’m so obsessed with the liver. The liver will lie to you. It will lie.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Ooh. Tell me more. How’s it lying?
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
It can be compromised in function down to 60% of its efficiency and still appear within normal ranges on…
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
On conventional labs?
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Conventional liver labs. Yeah. So you might be listening to this thinking, but my doctor said my liver is fine or my doctor said, “Yeah, you’re tending a little towards fatty liver, but you know, just avoid fats and you’ll be fine”. Don’t do it. Don’t listen, run, run now far, far away.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
What should they do?
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
So your liver’s overwhelmed. It’s the master regenerator. It can do up to 200 jobs at once. It’s not just about detox. It’s also about regulating your hormones and breaking down and absorbing your food. Yay. And processing all those weird endotoxins from all that dysbiosis you have in your gut from these fun toxins, right? So it’s supposed to basically be managing your regeneration body-wide, that’s oversimplifying it. But it’s important to understand how crucial this is and it can regenerate every six weeks. This is a powerhouse guys. It’s the largest of your traditional organs. It’s a big boy. And at any given point in time, it’s got 13% of your body’s blood in it getting processed right now, cleaned out, absorbing things, digesting, yay, recycling. But the problem is it just can’t keep up because your liver also makes your bile. Your bile is a liquid gold detergent. It is so expensive to make.
And it’s so important. So your bile gets made in the liver and gets stored in the gallbladder. And every time you eat this bile flushes out to meet the food as it comes down from the stomach, right, with the pancreatic enzymes, with the sodium bicarbonate from the pancreas. So it comes and meets in this fun trifecta and then flushes down the small intestine together. In that bile, as it’s coming in, come all the toxins that the liver said, you know what? I want these to go out for bowel movements. That’s the safest way. And yeah, some of them also get sent to the kidneys. Kidneys aren’t as resilient though as your gut. So we try to really protect the kidneys body-wide. So yeah, a few of them have to go out through your urine.
Most of them though, wanna go out through the bile, into the small intestine, out with the bowel movements. Here’s the problem. Your body didn’t evolve with all these synthetic chemicals and heavy metals. It just didn’t. So they don’t actually leave the bile. They get reabsorbed into the gut lining these toxins do, and they stay in the bile, which is already sticky and toxic and sluggish. ‘Cause these bile salts, very delicate. They’re suspended in liquid by the liver, in your chemical conjugation here, just very delicate chemistry. And it only takes one little molecule from your Glade Air Freshener, one, you know, disruption from, you know, your toxic dry shampoo to drop those bile salts out of liquid, into a sticky viscus substance. And then you have all of a sudden this beautiful system, that’s about flushing things out and regenerating and bile’s supposed to be emulsifying, which means breaking down your fats, observing fat soluble vitamins. Hello, antiaging. Right? ADEK. Yes. Absorbing your calcium, so we don’t get osteoporosis. Woo. But it doesn’t do that because it’s toxic and sluggish now. And it’s really hard to flush out these toxins without extra outside help.
So now all of a sudden this beautiful regenerative organ, your liver that works so hard has 2000 miles of bile ducts in your biliary tree, sticky, toxic, sluggish, not flowing with ease. Very difficult. So if your doctor has told you, your liver is fine, it’s a little, you know, your numbers are a little distorted, but they’re not bad. And yeah, you have a lot of pain. You got all these weird symptoms like fatigue and skin rashes and gut issues and you know, brain fog and you’re not sleeping well and you wake up between one and 3:00 AM. It’s fine though, because you know, I can’t give you a diagnosis, so nothing must be wrong with you. You’re not…
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Let me just give you these drugs to help you sleep, to take away your pain, to help you poop, to fix your mood.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
I wanna little Wellbutrin. Yeah. Call it good. Yeah. End the day. Yeah. Oh and then some Statins, ’cause by the way, your cholesterol is off. Why is your cholesterol off? That’s atopic for another time to do that in the follow up.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Okay. So I think the audience listening right now is crystal clear that there’s some work to do. So let’s wrap this with giving everybody some tips on how to support this beautiful liver.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
How to make that golden bile. And don’t worry if you’ve had your gallbladder removed, you’re still making bile. It’s just dripping in your intestines all the time, but you’re still making it. You’re not, not making bile.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
I work with people all the time that have missing gallbladders and they make a full recovery in terms of leading very wonderful lives. That’s symptom free, like it’s totally possible.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah. So what are some tips? Give us some tips and tricks on how to support your body. Let’s leave everybody with hope and then let’s make sure everybody knows how to get ahold of you before we are finished tonight.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
So one, you’re gonna listen to all of the other experts that are covering in greater detail, how to support your mitochondria directly because it really does start there. We must have enough energy in the engine in order for the engine to flush. Okay. So if we wanna clean out the engine, we wanna change out the motor oil, which is your bile right in your liver. You’ve gotta have fuel in the tank. Okay. So listen to all those guys, put together your beautiful mitochondria support protocol with Laura. And then from there, it’s time to go and work on flushing out the liver so that everything that has started to show up in your life because your liver isn’t moving with ease, ’cause you have this backlog, everything that made your mitochondria sluggish in the first place can finally exit the body safely.
So now we wanna build in a daily protocol support that’s all about getting bile to move. Okay? So you wanna be able to build bile faster. One of the reasons why I called bile, your liquid gold detergent is ’cause it’s expensive to make, bile salts are expensive guys. So what you can do is you can supplement, you know, a little bit to help build bile faster. So your body’s more willing to let go of the toxic old sluggish bile right out through your bowel movements and you can also eat for bile movement. So why don’t we start with the foods ’cause that’s easy and then we can talk about supplementation’s. Does that sound good?
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yes.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Okay. So become friends with healthy fats. That’s what we’re going to do. We’re well past the age of SnackWells, where we all got afraid of fat in the nineties, that’s over, we’re now in the age of healthy fats are everything, right? Which means we need to leave behind industrial seed oils. Those are industrial lubricants, canola oil, sunflower seed oil. That’s right. I said it even all of the vegetable oils that were marketed as he heart healthy, all those studies have now been debunked. Everybody who published those studies got major payoffs. Don’t listen to those guys. Okay. Go back to your real healthy fats. That is your grass fed ghee. Your grass fed butter, whether it’s cow or goat, tallow is deeply healing for the liver.
It’s wonderful. It’s highly bile available. And if you’re vegetarian, like I am, then you can also consider things like coconut oil. Right. And yeah, everybody wants to say, “But what about avocado oil”? The problem with that is most of the avocado oil on the market is cut with industrial seed oils. So you wanna be really careful about your sourcing there. Just make sure it’s the real deal. Okay. And then what else can you do? Like yeah. Olive oil is great, but for cold dishes, ’cause it gets rancid when you cook with it. Okay. At very low temperatures, you’d be surprised how low. So healing fats, everybody. When they get told by their doctor that they have a liver problem, they get told to stay away from fats. That’s a terrible idea because then your body has less and less reason to move your bile. So the first thing we do is get you back on healing fats at a level you can tolerate and you’d be amazed in just a few short months, people can go from, “Oh my God, I can’t even look at lamb or look at a piece of steak because my body can’t handle that level of fat, to absolutely gobbling it up because your bile is finally flowing with ease again. So you’ve gotta ease it in a pace that’s right for you. Then you can do things like take bitters, bitter foods like cruciferous vegetables like citrus, if you could tolerate it. Wonderful. Right. Those are all natural bitters, which means moving your bile.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Dandelion arugula, that kind of stuff.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah, exactly. Even chocolate. Yes. Coffee. That’s everybody’s favorite bitter.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yes.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Why? Cause it moves your bile guys. Get to love the word bile, because it’s going to set you free. I know it’s a really gross word.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
But we love bile.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
We love bile. So yeah. Healthy fats, eating your bitters. So that means building in bitters into your meals every day is great. Or you can also take bitters. I love the Quick Silver Bitters. They’re fantastic. You know, Bitter X, Bitters Number Nine, liver sauce is a very strong bitter. You would probably wanna work your way up to that. If you’re in an in depth healing protocol, there’s also low histamine bitters out there, if you are histamine sensitive, do not despair. There’s always options. And then you wanna really start looking at supplementation. Okay? Cause that’s the food piece. Now we wanna look at supplementation to move bile and to set the liver free so that it can detox everything that the mitochondria energized your cells to finally get rid of. Okay. Side note. As you transition your body from toxic, rancid processed fats back to healing fats, your cells get so much healthier ’cause your cell wall is made of fat. And if your body’s only choice to build that cell wall is toxic rancid fat, guess what, nutrients can’t get in ’cause that cell wall is irritated and rigid and metabolic waste and toxins can’t get out.
So your mitochondria are starving to death and your cells can’t function. So as you transition with healing fats, this really will set you free at the cellular level. Okay? So now let’s talk about how to build bile faster. So Phosphatidyl Choline is a wonderful way to do that. Right? Phosphatidyl Choline is a major component of bile. So yeah, supplementing with it is a great idea. I do like Quick Silvers. They do a great job. There’s a few others on the market that are okay. What else can we do besides supplementing with bitters, Phosphatidyl Choline, I love Tudca. So Tudca is a crucial bile salt that is very expensive for your body to come by. I do prefer CellCores. People, you know any time I give a talk, they’ll say, “Okay, but CellCores, Tudca is kind of expensive. Can I use a cheaper one”? Say, “You know what? They don’t work. Sorry. I don’t see the same results clinically”. So if you are on a budget, you can use the CellCore Tudca and just take less, use something that works, but at a lower rate, that’s right for you.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
And when you say something’s expensive for your body to make that means it’s taxing your body, it’s taking a lot of energy and nutrients and that Tudca is a bile salt that is expensive for your body to make. It’s also to get a good one that’s a supplement that costs some money.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah. That’s a great way to say exactly.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah. Yeah.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
That’s so true. And you’ll be amazed at what some liver support can do. It can go a long way and yeah, there’s something for everybody in every budget. Like if you are listening to this and you have absolutely no money at all, do me a favor. Turn off your wifi router while you sleep, turn off the breakers to your bedroom at night, like create an EMF free environment in your bed. Okay.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Yeah.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Please do that because your body will heal so much faster.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
And eat bitter food because you have to eat anyway. So eat bitter foods.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Right. And like drink organic dandelion loose leaf tea. That’s a great bitter.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Inexpensive.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Dandelions are cheap, man. We’ll know something’s really going wrong if dandelions become expensive. ‘Cause they’re everywhere.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Oh that’s funny. Yeah. Yeah. This has been great Sinclair.
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
Yeah.
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
Any final words before we wrap up and let everybody know how to get in touch with you?
Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC
I just really encourage you guys to think systemically, because this is not an accident that you are listening to the summit, that you have energy issues, right? Your body is absolutely brilliant. It doesn’t matter what age you are. It doesn’t matter how sick you are. Your body never forgets how to heal. It just needs some targeted support in the right order, in this, you know, strange day and age that we’re living in today, but it absolutely will respond. So it is inevitable that you get better and that you see improvements. If you decide you are going to be the CEO of your own health journey and you’re gonna keep exploring ideas and options, like…
Laura Frontiero, FNP-BC
