Bio-Toxins & Hormones: How Mold, Mycotoxins, and Spike Proteins Affect Your Health

Introduction and Guest Background 0:00

One of the huge issues that we see all the time with rapid weight loss. And that's why I can't stand that, whatever the ozempic and and all those drugs that are being out there because what's happening is that you are when you're losing all the weight, you're losing the massive amounts of toxins that are stored in that fat. And then they end up dumping back into your system and recirculating and then and then you present with later with, again, autoimmunity, cardiovascular issues, neurological issues, cancers.

This is Doctor Talks, real talk from real doctors on the issues that matter to you most. Hello! Welcome to the Truly Healthy MD podcast. I'm Doctor Monica Harry G. Truly healthy MD is where we empower patients to become truly healthy by addressing the root causes of their illnesses with cutting edge medical science and holistic healing. Today, we have a very special guest. I'm so honored to have Doctor Margaret Christianson with us today on the podcast. So Doctor Christensen, we we work in close proximity, to each other.

And I've been a big fan of yours for many years when I was, you know, just starting out in a holistic space. I followed you for so long. So this is such an honor for me to have you. Can you please, tell us who you are, what you do? Yeah. Well, thanks so much, Monica, for having me. And, you know, I know kind of mold is kind of what brought us together. And I've gotten, you know, expanded to a lot more than that. But I'm an ob gyn by my original training, so, you know, I practice for ten years, but then got so unbelievably, tired and fatigued, couldn't figure out what's wrong.

My brain wasn't working. I had terrible brain fog. And, you know, I'm a Type-A personality, and, like, I couldn't even figure out how to take a shower with, you know, it took me 30 minutes just to gather my shampoo and, you know, towels and things. So I, you know, I knew something was really wrong. I didn't know what it was. And, because of that, I fell into functional medicine. I changed my diet, I changed, you know, I got on some nutrients, I clean things up, and all of a sudden I got way better, and.

But I still didn't know what the underlying issues was about. Eight years later, I got really super sick all over again. And that's when we figured out that it was, toxic mold. And actually, my whole family had been exposed to it and my children when they were young. And unfortunately, by that time I learned what was going on. My kids were already in their teens and, having some challenges. And, basically long story short, is two of my four children very significant autism spectrum, one very, very severely so, and having all kinds of challenges.

And I had such severe chronic fatigue that I had to quit and close my OB practice, in order to just recover, and which I did originally with diet and nutrients that second time around. And that's when we figured out I was very fortunate to be here in Dallas, right next to, Doctor William Ray's environmental Health. Clinic. And, I mean, he was a pioneer in the field. Yeah. And, so he's the first one who diagnosed me with, you know, very, very high levels of mold, mycotoxins. And, you know, unfortunately, you know, it impacted myself and my family.

And that led me down into this, journey. And I had to close my OB practice. I couldn't even function, at that point. But, you know, think about it. For babies, 16 years of sleep deprivation between training and having babies of my own and delivering other people's babies so severely sleep deprived, massively nutrient, nutrient deficient, because babies are parasites and they just suck it out. Yeah. And then all in one way, sometimes in more than one way. I'm kidding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, there you go.

And, Yeah. And, you know, a lot of people don't realize to the level of toxins, toxicity that we're also exposed to in hospitals in terms of, you know, really chemicals and plastics anyway. Yes. Yeah. So I yeah, I developed a, latex allergy from using latex gloves and it turned into what's called latex fruit syndrome. So I became allergic to fruit because there's like some chemical similarity. And so yeah, we're exposed to so much stuff.

Mold Exposure and Functional Medicine Journey 4:27

It is it's it's crazy. And I always love hearing the back story of how we as conventional doctors, find integrative functional medicine. And it's that back story just means so much to me. And so this, you know, listen to you say, that just blew my mind because I've always, like, I've always been, you know, knew that you were a doctor that I admired. And I love, you know, I sent patients your clinic. I, I put to bits your mold summits and all that. But, we're actually a lot of similarities. I also have four children.

Yeah. And, I was I'm an internist. I was a hospitalist in my prior life. I call myself a recovering hospitalist at this point. I try not to relapse. And in 2019, I just had severe chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia. They were working me up for multiple sclerosis, but all my scans were negative, so they just ended up sending me to a psychiatrist. You're like, you know, something's wrong. We can't figure it out. So maybe some segments will help. And I was like, it's not. That's well, that's a complex story.

Yeah. I mean, that's that's my story of severe chronic fatigue. Fibromyalgia brain doesn't work. Go see this. You know, go see the physical therapist. Here's your pain meds. Here's your antidepressants. Nothing was working. And then that's when I figured out. And then subsequently. So what happened is I had this giant practice, in OB, and that was very progressive here in Dallas. And I closed it because I could not keep functioning. And I took a couple of years off. That's how I found, I fell in dysfunction medicine, found IFM.

Fortunately, doctor Bethany Hayes, who's one of the, kind of premier, faculty members at IFM in the women's hormones. And she really mentored me and taught me. And then and then I recovered, by doing all these things. But, as my former husband got really sick with neurological issues in my children, then now we're, they're in their teens and they're getting severe neuropsychiatric symptoms of all this, and, again, that so I went all down that road and learned, how to do neurological workups, cardiovascular work as, a psychiatric workups and understanding the underlying bio toxins and, yeah.

And then I, I've created a large clinical, Carpathia, it's Carpathia Health Collaborative in Dallas. And, so we do a lot of chronic, complex, illnesses here. And, and hopefully we'll get to touch on bio toxins in general, not just mycotoxins, which is from mold, but also I'd really like to speak to spike protein. And that came from the Covid virus. And really much more spike protein came from those who got vaccinated and vaccinated. And how that disrupts hormones. So, it's hormones are us, you know, that's, that's that's my area of expertise along with biological, you know, toxins in the environment.

Well, that's wonderful, I yeah, I also like to talk when I talk to my patients. When I talk to the public about toxins, I tell them, you know, there's there's a few that we can measure. We can get you a urinary medical toxin test. We can check your glyphosate levels. But there's so many out there that we're exposed to that we we don't even know how to measure them. So we we we're exposed to a soup of toxins. And so it's good to be aware of, you know, which ones are we measuring, which ones are retreating.

Which ones are we following, how the symptoms correlate. But there's all these other ones that some of them we know about. We're learning more and more about. I love it that, even though I don't love Covid 19, but I love how it spurred all this scientific interest in the scientific community to learn more about how these things affect our body. And like the that science has grown by leaps and bounds, all these things that were ignored in the past, you know, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue are now being at the forefront of conventional medicine and science.

Be like, oh, there is actually a scientific explanation for this stuff. It wasn't all in our patients heads. So I love that, you want to address it this way, because that's also the way that I look at it and the, you know, the overlaps that we have between all these things. So. Yeah, absolutely. And, yeah, I, you know, wherever clinic, I love how it's all very multi-disciplinary. So it's a great, great place. Definitely recommend those people who are in, the Dallas area traveling to Dallas area to check it out.

My, clinic, also in Dallas, I do more telemedicine. But but yeah, I'm so proud to have such great resources in the DFW area. And it's growing the awareness in our area that the public is growing every day. Sometimes I get frustrated. There's not as much awareness in Dallas that there is in Austin, in California, but I think we just need to be messengers of, hey, there's a better way, there's more help that we can give patients than just the limited toolkit. So I'm so honored to practice medicine, with you as my neighbor.

So let's let's talk a little. Let's just little talk about bio toxins and hormones, because let's do that. Yeah. Because because that that's the interaction. And I mean, we can use mycotoxins as an example. But the spike protein also has many similarities in terms of what it does to our, both our immune systems and our hormonal systems and, and everything else. So, if you look at, again, mycotoxins coming from molds, there are, several different mechanisms in terms of how how hormones are disrupted.

The first one is what we call molecular mimicry. So it actually the, the, the mycotoxins themselves can mimic, for example, estrogen. Ziegler is one of those mycotoxins measures. So you can they can have estrogen like effects. They can disrupt testosterone, they can disrupt thyroid function and all that. So that's molecular mimicry. Another way that you can see a massive disruption, in that is that, gastrointestinal tract. So we know that, all of our hormones, as well as our immune systems, 70% of our immune system is in our gut, and our hormones are actually metabolized and balanced in the liver, in the gastrointestinal tract.

So when you have exposure to, not just mycotoxins, but all the other stuff that's in the standard American diet, antibiotics, chemicals, glyphosate, etc. then you again have these molecular mimicry, issues, and then you're triggering the gastrointestinal tract and the bad guy bacterias to overgrow and disrupt. And then what happens with that happens. We have a nerve called the vagus nerve that connects the brain and the heart in the gut. And it's mostly sending signals all the way up into the brain and into the brain, part of the brain.

How Biotoxins Disrupt Hormones and the Brain 10:48

That's called the limbic system. So again, if you have if you have a lot of gut issues and disrupted, gut because of antibiotics, because you've had bad Covid and had spike issues, because you have, chronic mycotoxins, then, you're getting this chronic distress signal that's going up into the brain to the limbic system. Well, what's the limbic system? So let me system involves kind of three major parts. One is the hypothalamus. The master regulatory center of all the hormones and all of your sleep wake cycles.

And, you know, is it time to get up, to go to sleep, to have sex, to, you know, procreate, to, to kind of to do whatever and to relax. To work. Yes. Relax. Right. Yeah. So that's the hypothalamus. And then you have your amygdala. So the amygdala is the fight flight center of the brain. So that's actually what is constantly scanning their environment. Over time you're going to jump out at us. And so that's the amygdala is what sending your, the signal to the adrenal glands to say, hey, run or fight, fight, fight or freeze.

The other one is fun, which is like being overly, kind. I mean, overly obsequious to everybody to try and, support everybody but fight a new enemy. Yeah, yeah. So, a lot of people don't, I mean, they've, they've heard of fight flight, and that freeze happens when you can't you when you can no longer run or fight. Yeah. So, so again, you have, got disruption ascending the vagus nerve, getting into the limbic system with the hypothalamus, the amygdala and the other piece of the, limbic system is called the hippocampus.

The hippocampus is our memory center. So again, sights, sounds, smells, things that have happened to us in the past, traumas, those are all stored there. And, and they can get triggered by anything that you see. You watch somebody says a word to you, they looked at you wrong. And what you don't realize is that, you have a memory that comes out that's completely unconscious, that maybe you were a little kid and somebody screamed or yelled at you or in a car wreck or, you know, something, but the the, the body in the part of the Olympic system then gets activated and it stays in chronic fight or flight stress mode.

Well, then the third mechanism then that we talked about molecular mimicry, gut, and gut and vagus nerve combination. Then you have the again the olfactory nerve. So that's your smelling nerve. It's the little shortest nerve in your body from the back of your nose, going right back into the limbic system, part of your brain. And by the way, it's bypassing the pituitary gland, which is actually what, you know, signals everything, from the hypothalamus. So. So now you've got this inflamed olfactory nerve, going back into the part of the brain that's called the limbic system.

That's really got it, charged, up and constantly sending signals of distress. This is part of what happened with Covid two. And if you had underlying mycotoxins and mold, then the likelihood of you getting much sicker with Covid or with the vaccine, and having long Covid symptoms was much, much higher. And part of the national. Right. Yeah, yeah. Because of the again this inflammation in the, in the limbic part of the brain. So and then so what happens. So that's all on fire. And you got your hypothalamus in there trying to regulate your hormones.

And they're getting it's getting all kinds of signal and cross fires and and the the nerves are inflamed in there. So this is what creates a lot of disruption in, hormonal cycling. As well as high levels of stress hormones and cortisol. And then, the other thing that happens, of course, a year, we know certainly during Covid what happened that you can smell if you got Covid, right. And that's the whole factory nerve was inflamed. Right. And and that happens with, with mold. So those are some of the major mechanisms, the molecular mimicry.

And then, you know, again we talked about that HPA axis, the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis. Yeah. That gets turned on because of the limbic system in the brain. And you just stays you kind of stay in this heightened sense of, kind of disruption. So, those are some of the major mechanisms by which, all bio toxins, which are and we can talk about what a bio toxin is anyway, besides mycotoxins, it means, can can disrupt. So, yeah. And I would just say a bio toxin is a fat that is a tiny, fat soluble toxin that gets inside our cell membranes.

So we have cell membranes that have two layers, water soluble on the outside, kind of an oily layer, like olive oil on the inside of the cell membrane. And it's supposed to be that way. And it helps, where the receptors sit, like potatoes in that cell membrane, and you have oxygen and nutrients coming into the cell and, energy and toxins going out of the cell. But if that olive oil, it starts getting full of these fat soluble mycotoxins, heavy metals, spike protein, pesticides, plastics get stuck in there.

It turns that olive oil into chunks of lard. And it doesn't work, and they doesn't work and you can't produce energy. Well, mitochondria become disrupted. And that's probably the other major mechanism of action of all bio toxins is disruption of mitochondrial function. So the mitochondria powerhouse of the cell. Yeah. Yeah. We get this energy. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. So you get the that's the fatigue the chronic fatigue. The fibromyalgia is the aches and pains and brain fog too. With that to an important. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So all of those things if you liked this discussion please hit the subscribe button and consider leaving us a review. It really helps people find us and we truly appreciate your support. Yeah. And I think what's really interesting about bio toxins is just thinking about the size. Sometimes we eat a lot of the things that we measure in medicine. They're much larger particles. A lot of these bio toxins are very hard for us to measure because they're, 0.1 microns, which is little a little thing. And so the science just isn't there to measure a lot of these.

And that's why, I believe it's been so hard for us to understand what's going on. Not only is there a multitude of all these bio toxins that are around us, but it's so much harder to measure that than it is, let's say an allergic reaction to mold people know about allergic reactions to moisture to measure that in our in our eyes and blood work, but measuring the actual world particles. There are some tests to measure that, but it's not as straightforward. And it's just that's how tiny they are. And how disruptive to me is super important to understand the, why why patients present with such severe symptoms and their labs tend to look normal because not something that we can pick up on conventional.

Well, on conventional testing and conventional. Yeah, I would I would probably also add to that that we are taught nothing zero in medical and in residency about environmental medicine. And there's probably big and good reasons to that. And that has to do with the link between Big Pharma, Big AG, big Food, Big Chemical, and hopefully all of that is going to come falling down shortly. And that's another thing I would supply. Yeah. Food supplies toxic. Our air, our water, all of those things that we're consuming have these little teeny tiny, bio toxins in them again that can get into those cell membranes.

And that's disrupting. And we learn nothing, nothing about that in our training. So, yeah, we don't we have to get sick ourselves to learn this. Yeah. I think maybe one time in one of my med school classes, they mentioned aflatoxin just as a, as a really quick thing. Right. Like over in Africa, people sometimes get sick because our corn supply is toxic with aflatoxin. But that's like the only mycotoxins they talked about and all of our medical training. And then come to find out that, like things like a drug like self sapped is, really strong drug that's derived, I don't know if it's from a mycotoxins similar from, Yeah.

Michael. Phenolic acid. Yeah. Metabolic acid. So it comes from a mycotoxins. And we use it for transplant recipients and we use it to really suppress immune system. So that tells you the power. And that in conventional medicine we are aware to some extent. But obviously not to the degree that we need to be aware of all these things. I mean, so the type of symptoms that we're seeing and again, you know, I'd like to address Covid because, there's a lot of people talking about mold. I did a mold summit, I don't know, five years ago.

And, that's, you know, still circulating, I think, around. But, again, you know, what we have seen, with, spike protein toxicity, and we understand that this was this was a genetically engineered piece of the Covid. The Covid virus was genetically engineered. And, it was, you know, I don't know if it was released or escaped from lab. It doesn't matter. But, needless to say, again, we're seeing massive, massive amounts of, disruption of mitochondrial function and cell membrane function. And how does that present its presents an autoimmune issues in women.

We're seeing massive amounts of hormonal abnormalities. A lot of women noted after they got the Covid, shot or even being around other people who received the vaccine, the abnormal periods. We've seen a 20% drop in birth rates. We've seen, I had, you know, a number of ladies on low dose hormone replacement therapy, post-menopausal, no issues. Everything's cleaned up and, also, it started bleeding out of nowhere, including an 80 year old. And, I had three fetal deaths, and I don't even do, obstetrics anymore.

But what we do do is help ladies with fertility. And by the way, ladies out there, if you're having any fertility issues, it's toxin related toxins and stress hormones and nutrient deficiency. Those three things. So again, fetal abnormalities, fetal deaths, and abnormal, bleeding periods, turbo cancers, auto, 800% increase in new onset autoimmune issues. And all of this stuff is documented.

Spike Protein, Long COVID, and Hormonal Effects 20:30

None of it is conspiracy. This this is all, real things. And people really need to wake up. So if you have been exposed to the spike protein and you also have, a lot of high body burden of mold and or Lyme, then you're a person that's much more likely to get long Covid. Well, long Covid. I've been that's what I said at the beginning of all this. I said, I've been treating long Covid for 20 years. That I mean, that is what chronic fatigue fibromyalgia is. It's, you know, often it's infections and bio toxins and nutrient deficiencies creating this disruption in our bodies.

And so, the good news about this, now is that we are able to there are all types of protocols that we can utilize very similar to the some of them, all the nine protocols that we can use to help break down that spike protein, help clear it from the body. But unfortunately, again, it in some people and there are some batches of this stuff that was, much more toxic than others. And will create a lot more problems, including we've seen very high rates of myocarditis and heart inflammation, particularly in young athletes, very high rates of sudden death, and, and the elderly and, a fabulous report, recently came out, a bipartisan report from, from Congress on the Covid response, really showing that nothing worked, no shut down.

No, no, lockdowns, masking, social distancing, it was all complete and total B.S. and, unfortunately, it really damage our children and our mental health. And, you know, I mean, and how do you brainwash a population? How do you brainwash a population into believing that you know, that the only answer and this this is where my my medical colleagues failed. They failed their Hippocratic oath of do no harm. They just jump lockstep into what we're being told, because, again, that is part of how we're trained.

Don't ask too many questions. And, so a lot of people became injured. And if you have an underlying other issues, mold or Lyme, then you're much more likely to have that long, that long response. And then you and I know how to approach it to help to turn things around. And one of the things we can do is, is, there's some hormones that can be very helpful to at least support the system. And so you can get further evaluations. Okay. And and which hormones are those. Yeah. So, I think the kind of the top two things that you can use are DHEA, which is available over the counter.

So I'm just going to talk about what's available over the counter. Yeah. Yeah. So again, if you've had and this doesn't this goes for any really anybody who's been dealing with chronic stress, any kind of long illness. But really, like you said, we're all being exposed to all kinds of toxicity all day, emotional, psychological and physical and spiritual. So DHEA helps to support your adrenal glands. Now, for women, 5 to 15mg a day is is usually the dosing that I use. For men is 25 to 50. DHEA is a precursor to cortisol.

It's also a precursor to testosterone. And so if you are making a lot of stress hormones all the time, high levels of cortisol all the time because you're afraid, because you're isolated, because you've got mold and you don't know why you're so anxious. So yeah. Yeah. So you are, Yeah. Dumping stress hormones all the time. Then again, that's going to keep, your body in this fight or flight state all the time. And it's very hard to recover and fear is also used to manipulate people. Fear and isolation is the number one way you brainwash people.

And so. So here we had all these lockdowns happening. And then if you lived in a moldy house and you're stuck there and you're stuck there with your kids and everybody's kind of going crazy, and you're being fed all this information that that has turned out to be false. And there's some of us at new in the beginning that there was a lot of tactics going on, that were being used against us. Yeah. So, so what you can do is you can use DHEA to help rebuild an adrenal system that has been depleted because you've been in so much fear or pain or inflammation, all the time.

So, like I said, 5 to 15mg a day for women, 25 to 50mg a day for men. And that's somebody that's something that people can do over the counter. The other thing that you can that is available over the counter is natural progesterone. And I'm very fortunate to have Doctor Anna Quebec in my office here. She's the girlfriend. Doctor, if people don't follow her on, she's all over the internet. But she has a great product. And she has a number of great products. One is called Java. Java is, has DHEA and pregnant alone in it.

It's a topical cream. It's, it's it's to be used on the vulva to help with, libido and again, help the tissues down there. So that's one way you can take the DHEA or you can take it in tablets. The other, the thing that I use again is natural progesterone. And she makes one that's called balance. The balanced cream, that has both progesterone and pregnant alone in it now, and both men and women can use it. Women naturally produce progesterone in the second half of their menstrual cycles. However, and, you know, again, it's chronic stress all the time.

You get what's called, we call in, you know, the cortisol steal. You're you're changing your enzymes to make a lot more cortisol. And you're not making enough natural progesterone to balance the estrogen. So you get all this estrogen dominance, heavy bleeding, uterine fibroids, infertility issues, but bad cramps, migraines, those are all things that can happen from having too much estrogen, not enough progesterone. So we can use a little bit, you know, to use about 20mg, 20 to 25mg of natural progesterone topically, and the second half of the menstrual cycle days 14 through 28.

Or if you're, a perimenopausal women I have you do three weeks on, one week off and one week off during whatever your period time is. And then three weeks on and progesterone, natural progesterone again helps that balance. Gestation also helps support your adrenal glands. It improves the quality of your sleep. It improves your, the conversion of your thyroid, of your inactive form of thyroid into the active form that's called our IT, our T4, into our free T3. Progesterone helps with that. So and progesterone is also very good for any kind of head injuries neural inflammation.

Oh yeah. Yeah I've in their studies where they give it to both men and women and it helps them recover from head injuries, which is pretty pretty amazing. And I do like talking a lot about the different benefits of progesterone because there's this myth in commercial medicine that if the only reason to take it is to avoid, people, women from bleeding if you give them estrogen. But that's the only use of progesterone. But that's so true. Progesterone has so many other actions in our body that it's awful when women are given only estrogen and no progesterone because they had a hysterectomy, they're missing out on so much.

And not only are they missing out, it's almost dangerous to do that. Absolutely. Yeah. For people to understand, people who are not professionals and to get the point across to other medical professionals that progesterone has so many other, reasons that it's in our body. And we do need to provide patients to help support this in patients who are lacking it. So I love that rundown that you gave us of all the different things that bone health is what bone health, brain health are all involved in.

And progesterone producing testosterone. And again, progesterone is good for men too. We use that same balance cream and we'll have guys put it on their testicles because it raises it raises, their, natural testosterone. Now, I do, I do want to be very clear that there's a total difference between synthetic progestin. That's what's at birth control pills. That's what's in a lot of these IUDs. That's what's in, conventional synthetic hormone replacement therapy or progestin.

Supporting Detox and Hormone Balance 28:30

They have a completely different mechanism of action in the body than natural progesterone that our bodies would make. So you want bioidentical natural progesterone if you're going to be taking it. Yeah. And my understanding is that when they did like the health for the Women's Health Initiative, they it was not by double progesterone. Right. It was a progestin that they use at that point. They were using premiere in premiere and in Provera. Yeah. So yeah. And the idea also that that estrogen causes breast cancer is false.

It can fuel it. But, breast cancer is being caused again by, toxins, local toxicity. Yeah, yeah. Toxins, nutrient deficiencies and high stress hormones and, Yeah. And so if, if, if you have that whole mix and then you're pouring a whole lot of high levels of estrogen on it, that's going to fuel the fire. So what we want to do with anybody is work on detoxification, work on lowering stress hormones, and particularly improving the quality of sleep, you know, and improving gut function. And those just doing those things can radically change your metabolic pathways and help you, heal.

Yeah. And I've heard a lot of women, once they start an adequate amount of progesterone, it helps them so much with their sleep. And once you're sleeping well, everything else starts falling in place. You feel less stressed out. So there's a very cool, interplay between those two. Yeah. Yeah, my female patients are on the right amount of progesterone is one of my main priorities in the first few visits. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. And, you know, and then kind of coming back to the sleep that the topical progesterone will help with sleep quality.

But if you're having a lot of anxiety, really significant sleep disruption, then you probably then you want to take it orally in. That does require a prescription, correct. Yeah. Because when it goes through the digestive tract and through the liver, it's metabolized into something different that doesn't happen when we put on our skin. Right. Our pregnant load I think it's called. Yeah. So yeah. So that. Absolutely right. Yeah. So when we're taking something by that, when we take the progesterone by mouth, one of the metabolites of it has Gaba like properties.

Gaba is one of the neurotransmitters. That's very calming on the brain. Yeah I patients it some people call it nature's Xanax and they're like oh yeah just give me some. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah yeah yeah. That's that's so interesting. All the interplay between the hormones and the toxins. So that's a well, you know, and if we want to, you know, means and and this is, I mean, it's like such a duh. Why are we seeing all this gender confusion? And, you know, one of the huge problems is, is the levels of, again, toxins that women are being exposed to during pregnancy, that are hormonal disrupting.

And then the food supply itself in the water and all that. When you have micro levels of, again, these endocrine or hormonal disrupting toxins and and it's impacting things like brain development and and you know, we also know that 90% of, you know, transgender individuals are especially the younger ones, or autism spectrum. And what is autism spectrum again? It's a toxic nervous system. And it is and where, where, where the toxins, heavy metals, plastics, pesticides can mold. Mycotoxins where all those heavy metals coming from, they're mostly coming from vaccines.

And we've changed our vaccine schedule. When I was born, then by the time I was 18, I had six doses of different things, you know, and now what's on the children's schedule? For vaccines from the CDC schedules 77 different doses, including the the Covid vaccine, which is not even a vaccine. It's a genetically modified, modified therapeutic agent. Our, our. That's what we're introducing into our children. Hi. We're live with cancer, A.D.D. autism. Can't, autoimmune issues. I mean, I never saw young women with autoimmune diseases like Crohn's.

Like, lupus, like, a lot of, severe eczema until the Gardasil vaccine came out. That is one of the worst ones because it has highest levels of aluminum. But again, you have a series, you, you know, series over time of, of, you know, dumping all these very pro-inflammatory toxins and heavy metals, and adjuvants that are in those vaccines, all of them, that accumulate over time, they start triggering dysfunction in the immune system. And then maybe you're being exposed to a little bit of mold, but your detoxification mechanisms have been slowed down or mucked up because of the overloaded, completely overloaded.

And then you can't get rid of that. And so that builds up. And I think the, you know, the, the other point that we want to talk about in terms of bio toxins, they're fat soluble. So that means they accumulate over time unless you are working to get them out of your system. So yeah. And the more excess adipose tissue you have, the more you have reserves to build them up. And and you see actually so the other way around because what we're understanding now, it's the level of toxins that are in the, in the food and water and air that are creating the disruptions causing the insulin resistance, causing our bodies to store fat on purpose, to try and to try and isolate that.

So, talk about that way. Yeah, yeah. You know, one of the huge issues. Yeah, one of the huge issues that we see all the time with rapid weight loss. And that's why I can't stand that, whatever the ozempic and, and all those drugs that are being out there because what's happening is that you are, when you're losing all the weight, you're losing the massive amounts of toxins that are stored in that fat. And then they end up dumping back into your system and recirculating and then and then you present with later with, again, autoimmunity, cardiovascular issues, neurological issues, cancers.

So we we are very judicious in how we use any of those, you know, semaglutide or Ozempic type, medication. We can use them, but we don't use it until we open some of these lymphatics. We've worked on the gastrointestinal tract. We've upregulated their, liver detox mechanisms, you know, first and open things up, and then flushing their bodies a lot of times with IVs, and, you know, lots and lots of nutrients, lots of electrolyte and minerals to help, to help move that out, making sure that your pooping, do not ever take any of those anything for weight loss if you are not having 2 to 3 bowel movements a day on a regular basis.

Absolutely. Yeah, that's one. Also, one of the first rules when you when a patient comes to see me is make sure they're not constipated because that's the very first thing. We're not pooping, we're not peeing, we're not sweating that we're not eliminating these toxins. So those were the first conversations I typically have with patients. Are are your movements. And nice to meet you. Right. And and hope and sleep, poop and sleep. Those are the two I go after first. I know like, all the things that we worry about and babies we also need to worry about and in in patients that are, older.

There you go. And and yeah, I love supporting patients when they, they want to lose weight and they want to do it in a healthy way. And I do tell them, as you, lose fat, not only do we want to make sure we're monitoring the amount of muscle mass, you're not losing that too. We want to be building that. We want do it very slowly, because your body will be, overwhelmed with all these toxins. We need to make sure your detox pathways are open and have very, very, very slow. If you come to me in your overweight, you know, we'll talk about it.

We'll see how much of a priority that is with other things. And a lot of times when people start detoxing, the weight just starts coming off. And that makes so much more sense with what you said, because the body's trying to put on weight to store those toxins. So what it's not is the toxins are not exposed to so many. The body says, I don't need all this extra fat. So I'm glad you explained it to me that way, because that totally makes sense. And I've seen it time and time again. People start healing, their bodies are exposed to less toxins, they detox and then they don't even have to work hard at decreasing their fat because it just happens.

The body wants to be at a healthy weight. We just it just can't be a if we're overloaded with toxins. Well, in one of the, you know, one of the, another hormones that a lot of people maybe don't hear about much is called leptin. There's leptin and adiponectin. Which that's something else that is involved in storing fat.

Weight Loss, Toxins, and Detox Basics 36:48

And, leptin levels can get very high with muscle toxicity, against the body is purposely trying to store the store the fat. So, you know, we have a lot of people that because they're overweight or said that they beat themselves up. I'm eating clean. I can, you know, why can't I? Why can't I lose weight? You're toxic. And you probably genetically need more nutrients than you're getting. And, yeah, we gotta clean it up. Yeah. So. And instead of trying to underweight to try to eat less calories, you need to focus in on, not overeating necessarily, but eating enough, enough nutrients to be able to detox, to be able to, to build muscle.

And so the whole diet culture is awful. It's so awful. And, I love trying to improve the way the, the, relationship people have with food because people see us food as the enemy and they need to have more willpower to avoid it. I'm like, no, none of us have enough willpower to to do that. We just need to understand what our bodies need be to correctly detox and all those struggles that you're having and beating yourself up because you're not in the gym enough hours, because you don't have enough willpower to not eat certain things, it becomes so much easier.

Just our bodies are actually trying to to to be healthy. But there's so many misconceptions that have been circulating for decades. Well, you know, I call it I call it overconsumption, malnutrition. So we have lots and lots of calories but no nutrients in them. So what we are looking at is a high, high nutrient diet. And, you know, I know, you'd like to, kind of end with, you know, what are the top things that I tell folks? The top four things and, and, and you can find this, on, my, my latest summit called Hormonal Havoc.

The Covid fallout and how to fix it, where I go into depth about everything I just said, Awesome. Awesome. Yeah. And now, like you said at the end of all my podcast, I always want, you know, this is a ton of information. And, I'm so happy for our listeners that they're getting a form, but it might be an overload. So thank you for being here. Okay, well, let me let me just tell you what those things are. I'm just saying I'll just tell your listeners, thank you for being here. You can listen to it again.

But if you're going to go away with these 3 or 4 things, let us know. Doctor Christensen, what are the 3 or 4 things that you want people to listen to? This if you remember nothing else about bio toxins, bio toxin illness, clean food, clean air, clean water, and a clear mind. So clean food would be, organic, very low, simple carbohydrates, all complex, carbohydrate. Lots and lots and lots and lots of vegetables. Poultry. Doctor Terry walls. Yeah, yeah. Clean, clean air. Everybody needs to have air filters in their houses these days.

And, and, yeah. So, you know, high quality Hepa filtration to keep your air clean because we're breathing and all that stuff that's impacting our olfactory nerve, creating all that inflammation. Sinus rinsing is something else that you can do on a regular basis to help wash that out. Clean food, clean air, clean water. Make sure that you're drinking filtered water. Stop drinking in plastics. Oh my God. I mean, we all don't get a credit card worth of plastic every day. No wonder everybody's, you know, fat and can't figure out who they are.

So clean water and then a clear mind. This is where we have to work on the limbic system. Calming down the stress hormones, learning how to get out of the fight or flight mentality and the PTSD and the over and over circulating thoughts, which is what happens very often too, with people with more toxicity. Can we have these massive inflamed brains? So this is where I do a lot of limbic system retraining, primal trust. Gupta amygdala, anti hoppers, DNA risk program. Daily prayer, meditation, gentle movement.

Those are all things that helps to clear the mind. And, and then, you know, again, just staying super, super hydrated with electrolytes and minerals and not just water, electrolytes and minerals, those and that that would be part of the clean food category. Clean water. Yeah. So those are that's what I would say. And there is always, always hope for health and healing. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. And thanks for bringing it down that way. Because I think a lot of times people feel like they need to take a lot of supplements or have a very complex, regimen to heal.

But if they're not addressing those basic things, they are not going to heal. It doesn't matter. You can take heaps and heaps of supplements or do all these other things, but starting with those basics is so important for every single one of us. I'm so glad that you laid it out that way for me and for our listeners. Thank you so much for all this information. This has been and you can find, yeah. And you can find out more. I have a, website, website Molde Detox diet.com, where we have, both for laypersons, an entire program to help take you through all of the many things that I just said.

And then we have a course for, practitioners called Advanced Mold immune module that goes through all of this. And all I can say is that if you have long Covid. But, I mean, it all applies, on that website, too, there's access to, an e-book on hormonal havoc, the Covid fallout, and how to fix it. That's the summary of the 60 different interviews that I did on what happened during Covid and how it's disrupting, and the role of other bio toxins like mold, like heavy metals and stuff, interacting with spike protein and how we can turn it around and reverse it, and also how we can learn the truth.

Our First Amendment rights were completely taken away, during Covid and people needed and for physicians in particular, if you spoke up, if you know, if you, if you question the narrative all, then you were censored. Deplatformed called a quack d license in some places. Oh, yeah. But, yeah, people need to learn. Yeah. And all of that can help you clear your mind, you know, because there's so much cognitive dissonance going on going, okay, we're being told one thing, but that's not what I'm seeing here, and that is part of which can.

So the more you understand the underlying truth, again, is like the root causes, of what's going on. We can and our, our bodies are, you know, our but given to by our creator are so amazing and have amazing ability to heal. So you can you can do that. So check us out. Email detox diet.com.
