The short answer to this question is: Unfortunately, yes.

 We DO have incredible detoxification organs in our bodies and our bodies WERE designed to be able to detoxify on their own. But the sad truth is that the amount of common toxins in our lives today has outpaced our detoxification organs. A thousand years ago, no one needed to do extra detox. But today? Yes. Sadly, we do. 

The Cord Blood Study

 In a study on the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies, 287 chemicals were detected. Let that sink in before we move on. These were newborn babies; they did not have a lifetime to accrue these chemicals. They were BORN with these. And out of the 287 chemicals, 180 of them are known to cause cancer in humans or animals, 217 of them are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 of them also have been known to cause birth defects or abnormal development in animal tests. How does this happen? These are chemicals the MOTHER has accrued throughout...

Unfortunately, we only get one. This “backlog” of toxins can create liver congestion and lead to a whole host of different symptoms depending on what else is going on in the body. 

Let’s start by looking at some common symptoms of liver congestion that might warrant detox strategies.  

Liver Congestion: Common...

 Mold is more prevalent than you may think

 It’s estimated that over 50% of the buildings in the US have mold. Yet it’s often “hidden,” inside of walls, under the rooftop, so you can’t see it... but it can still make you sick. 

I have an entire Youtube Playlist worth of videos on Mold! Use this link to begin watching.

 Symptoms Caused By Mold

Some common symptoms of mold illness are chronic sinus infections, eczema, asthma, chronic upper respiratory infections, suppressed immune system, extreme fatigue, headaches, migraines, pain in the head and behind your eyes, and allergies.  

This is often misdiagnosed by physicians and missed by home inspectors, and sadly there are a lot of people out there that are sick because of this. So let’s discuss what to do about it. 

 The difference between indoor and outdoor mold 

There are many different types of molds. We can put them into two broad categories, outdoor mold...
