Hi there, and welcome to another episode of the Root Cause Clinic Podcast.
We have quite a few new clients joining us this week,
so if you're new here, welcome. I am so excited to answer your questions
and touch on the health topics that are important to you.
Before I jump into things, as usual, I want to share an inspiring story.
I love this quote because it's an
important reminder that healing doesn't happen in a void.
Biologically, humans are wired for connection.
We need context, choice, and connection in order to heal always.
It's easy to fall into the trap of trying to go it alone,
but the more you allow yourself to open up,
trust others, and accept help, the more safe your nervous system will feel,
and the easier it will be to overcome chronic symptoms.
So, this is a gentle reminder to ask for help,
reach out, and remember that you don't have to do everything alone.
Okay, that leads me to the first topic for this week,
which is the root cause of animal allergies.
This client said, I've been allergic to cats for years,
and I think that's the only animal where I've noticed it,
but I'm also super curious. So,
when it comes to allergies, the number one thing I'm looking at is the
liver. Allergies are associated with impaired hepatic function,
which diminishes the liver's ability to detoxify the bloodstream and eliminate toxins.
When your liver is congested and sluggish,
it's unable to detoxify completely. So,
what happens is, these end up creating an over-activation of the immune system,
leading to the release of unnecessary extra histamines in the body.
And that's what's causing the runny nose,
sneezing, itchy eyes, your typical allergy symptoms.
That's also why people with multiple food syndromes, like tend to have a lot
of seasonal allergies or chemical sensitivities,
because it's all tied back to their liver function. Typically,
once we spend some time decongesting the liver with herbal supports,
a nutrient-dense diet, toxin reduction,
castor oil packs, and possibly coffee enemas,
we see those allergies slowly reduce. Two
other big contributors to allergies are helminth parasites,
because they release a lot of histamines into the body,
and mold, because mold also causes histamines to become dysregulated.
So, when we're addressing allergies holistically,
we need to consider all of these things. Personally,
I used to be chronically allergic to trees,
grass, pollen, cats, and dogs,
to the point where my entire face would swell up if I even touched
grass for too long. After working through drainage and detox,
reducing my toxin load and adopting a whole foods diet,
I've completely healed all of my allergies. So hopefully that clears things up.
If you have any other questions about allergies or related studies,
feel free to message me in the group chat and I can share more
there as well. Okay,
next question. How to manage the mental health aspect,
aka depression and anxiety, of chronically allergic chronic health struggles when trying to heal?
This is a really good question that I think is so important to talk
about. Ultimately, almost all chronic symptoms are derived from some kind of trauma
or trapped emotion that the body wasn't able to feel or process at the
time, so it was transferred to the physical body.
Because of this, it's impossible to fully heal chronic symptoms without addressing the emotional
and energetic side of things. This is where it's really important to surround yourself
with a team of support. Nowadays,
there's a lot of limbic retraining courses or online programs that you can do,
but honestly, I think those can only help to a certain extent.
Like I mentioned earlier, the most common important component to healing is
authentic connection. So I think it's really important to have actual real humans
on your team who know your story and who are actively supporting you.
For myself and many of my clients,
this team looks like a root cause health practitioner,
some kind of somatic practitioner, like a somatic experiencing practitioner,
a therapist, or a mind-body-spirit-release practitioner,
or maybe all three. And then family,
friends, a trusted partner, or people in your community that you really connect with.
Obviously, it does get expensive in this respect,
so oftentimes you'll need to work through different stages with different practitioners,
and that's totally okay. A lot of my clients do extensive detox and drainage
work with me, and then go on to work with a somatic experiencing practitioner
to work through the more emotional side of things.
And that being said, there are plenty of things you can do to support
your nervous system that are completely free,
like spending time in nature.
And I think this one is hugely underrated.
If you're feeling anxious or depressed and you go for a walk alone in
nature, or even just stand out in the sun and feel the grass and
watch the trees for an hour, you are going to feel so much better.
The benefits of nature therapy are confirmed over and over again.
By scientific research as well. Other free or affordable
supports are expressing creativity like painting or writing,
journaling, listening to music, dancing,
deep breathing, meditation,
Epsom salt baths are one of my favorite,
restorative yoga, going for a walk,
listening to solfeggio frequencies,
which you can find for free on YouTube, and EFT tapping.
For me personally, the biggest supports were my somatic therapist and mind-body-spirit
release. If you want to learn more about MBSR,
I'll also link my friend Chelsea's MBSR practice below in the notes.
Okay, next question was,
how to handle the health knowledge I've acquired and help loved ones without feeling
like I have to fix and enlighten everyone?
I don't want to feel like a crazy person. This is a great question,
and I think it's something that everyone in this root cause health world feels
at some point. You end up unlearning so much,
really. Realizing so many lies we've been told and you want to share the
truth with the world and help the people you love feel better The best
way to approach this is to, yes,
share the information with the people you love But don't become too attached to
the outcome of their story. As a health practitioner myself I've also had to
learn that I can't fix people All I can do is provide information and
then the individual will do with that information what they will I have a
lot of clients with sick parents who have spent so much time and effort
trying to teach them to live a more holistic lifestyle But what I tell
them is you can lead a horse to water, but you can't force it
to drink Not to liken your loved ones to horses,
but you know what I mean Some people will be thankful for this information
and it will open their eyes to a different reality in which they can
heal themselves Other people feel more comfortable just keeping their eyes closed.
They prefer a comfortable pain versus an uncomfortable Confrontation of reality
and that's okay. What I found is that instead of them Pushing information on
people the best way to inspire change is to change yourself first The people
around you will see the work you're doing the progress you're making and if
they want to do the same Then they will ask you about it.
And that's when you can share everything you've learned in detail So keep doing
the work and focusing on you because you are inspiring so much Many more
people than you even know Okay, the next question was how to know what
type of cleanse to do in the future when we are done with our
initial protocols with you So once we wrap up our program together,
I will send over more information on this.
I recommend doing the intestinal permeability kit from Cellcor once or twice per year
for maintenance support, and I'll link that in the notes below.
This is something that may also look a bit different depending on the individual,
so we'll make sure to cover this whenever we wrap up your program.
And thank I'll let you know which supplements to continue and which detox tools
you can implement for ongoing drainage support.
Okay, the last question for this week was,
I know in the online course you talked about how biofilm is the nest
that parasites like to hide in. I'm passing a lot of parasites and I
also see some yeast. looking material. Is that biofilm or something else?
So, yes, if you're actively parasite cleansing and you're seeing material that looks like
webbing or yeast, that's likely a combination of candida and biofilm,
which like to hang out together in the body, especially in the GI tract.
It's so important that you're actively addressing biofilm when you're detoxing,
and that's where I see most detox protocols go wrong,
or people will take antiparasitics alone and not pass any parasites and not
understand why. The reason is because the parasites are hiding in the biofilm,
so it's absolutely necessary to take biofilm busters while parasite cleansing.
That's one reason why I love Cellcor so much.
Most of their products are multifunctional, and almost all of them also address biofilm
on some level, especially par-1.
Par-1 is effective for clearing parasites,
molds, candida, bacteria,
biofilm, and more, systemically out of the body.
It works best in the GI tract, liver, and urogen.
So, long story short, yes, what you're seeing is biofilm,
and that's a good thing. Alright,
that's all the topics for this week.
Thank you, as always, for submitting your questions.
Please let me know if any other questions pop up as you listen to
this episode, and feel free to share your thoughts in the group chat.
As a reminder, if starting next Monday,
I'm going to be traveling abroad until the 20th,
so we will resume bi-weekly podcasts when I return.
I hope you have a great rest of your week.
Bye-bye.
