Speaker 1 (00:13):
Personally Fueldsman. Joining me on this episode is Christi Nlt.
She's a root cause practitioner and educator as well as
the CEO of a company called Microflow. I'm bringing her
on to educate on topics like how body stores trauma,
why people haven't been able to heal from chronic conditions,
understanding the science behind root causes of our health, and
(00:37):
why wearing sunglasses could be hurting us. Oh, and parasites. Yes,
all those things, and then I'll share some very candid
thoughts in my audio journal entry after doing this interview.
I'm excited to be joined right now by Christy Nolt.
(00:58):
She's a root cause health practitioner, educator, plant medicine expert,
CEO of a company just all the things. Christy, welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Thank you so much, Morgan, I'm so happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Happy to be here with little friend me too, the
podcast Therapy Dog. Rimmy's gotten very good at her role
here sat the show. But thank you for being here
and talking about some really important things. I would love
to start in a place where you share your story
and your why to where you are now before we
get into the nitty gritty details of all the other
(01:30):
good stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, thank you so much. It's so important. I can't
really share what I'm doing or why I'm doing what
I do without taking you guys all the way back.
So I like to say my story started when I
was three years old. I am one of three children.
I'm the middle child. My brother was the oldest, and
(01:51):
my parents describe him as truly the perfect firstborn ever.
He was so healthy, so smart, so funnyarismatic and athletic,
and it had so much fun with him for about
seven years. And he went in for just a routine
get seven years old and was severely vaccine injured. He
(02:12):
went into the doctor's office vibrant, healthy, incredible, and left
that day as a different person. So we started having
Grandma seizures just hours after this appointment. Soon was diagnosed
with the most severe case of epilepsy that doctors had
ever witnessed at this point in time.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
In the early.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Nineties, he was having three hundred and fifty Grandmall seizures
every single day, went through over thirteen brain surgeries by
the time he was in middle school, had over half
his brain removed. Was just on dozens of medications that
were creating so many other issues. So I saw from
a very young age what clearly wasn't working in the
(02:51):
medical system. I like to share with people that I
think Western medicine is incredible for emergency care. Like you
get in a car accident, you're going to go to
the er, right, You're not going to go to your
natural path. But when it comes to chronic conditions, they
are lifestyle based. We can talk about depletion, dysregulation, poisons, right,
(03:13):
and a lot of times our quote unquote solutions in
Western medicine just create a lot more issues. So for me,
that was the blueprint of my nervous system from a
really young age was chaos and fear, and a lot
of the medications that he was on caused behavioral outbursts,
so I didn't feel.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Really safe in my home. These medications, by the.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Way, now have black box warnings on them for young
boys that they create violence. And my mom was such
a fierce advocate for my brother. We didn't have the
internet back then, so she would go to the library
and just research and do the best she could and
present alternative options to my brother's team of doctors. So
(03:55):
even back then, like chiropractic care was considered alternative, and
we were incredibly gas lit as a family, and I
saw what happened also when you use your voice against
the system. So essentially, at one point in time, my
mom was like, what we're doing is clearly not working.
He's just getting worse. And that doctor in turn diagnosed
(04:18):
my mom with Munchausen biproxy, basically saying, you're making this
all up, You're making your child ill, and they took
the doctors took my brother off all his meds cold turkey.
That day, he seized for seventy two hours straight and
was never the same after that. It was just so wild,
and I don't have a lot of memories. Under the
(04:39):
age of twenty five years old. I starting to come
back because I've been working with a lot of plant medicines,
which we can possibly talk about today, but that's something
I have a very vivid memory of. And so for
me growing up, like I just didn't want to cause
any more issues for my parents. They had enough on
their plate. So my form of coping and survival was
(05:02):
debilitating forms of perfectionism. Just straight a thriving student, thriving
a lead athlete had to have perfect body. It really
led into severe eating disorders by the time I was
in middle school, and it was just like it was
just rough. My brother ended up passing away when he
in twenty fifteen, so about ten years ago, and the
(05:24):
trauma of that incident, like he was sick his entire life,
but it was still a shock when he passed away.
And I had been dealing with gut issues, I had
been dealing with some hormone issues, but the trauma of
that death really sent me into a tailspin of a
list am I along of my own journey with chronic
illness ahead. So I was, just weeks after my brother's death,
(05:47):
diagnosed with endometriosis, chronic lime disease, masstyle activation syndrome, autoimmunity.
Like the list goes on and on, and I knew
right then and there that the system wasn't going to
have answers for me. I had already been working in
the holistic healing space. I've been working in this space
for over fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So I was doing all.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
The right things already, perfect diet, perfect exercise, taking all
the supplements, detox, meditating, journaling, right, and I'm like, wow,
I just witnessed how my body reacted to an emotional trauma,
and it really led me down the path of multidimensional healing,
where yes, we have to focus on the physical body,
and that's a huge part of my foundational work, but
(06:27):
our unprocessed emotional wounds are unprocessed trauma. Our nervous system
is over fifty percent of the puzzle. So within that
next year, ripping away entirely from the system, I completely
healed everything on my own naturally, and that's really my
message to this day. I don't believe that there's anything
(06:50):
that's incurable. That just mean when we're told there's an
incurable disease, it means there's not a pill to fix
it right now. But when we get to the physical, emotional,
and spiritual roots of why we became ill and imbalanced
in the first place, I truly believe healing is always
available to us, and that is the work that.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I do today.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I teach big online courses. I also have a microdosing
mushroom supplement company which has just been completely next level.
And yeah, that's taking it back for you.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
There's so many different directions now that we can start
to dive into. Thank you for sharing in a nutshell
what your story is. I know, there's so much more
than what you just said there. And first, I want
to recognize how difficult that had to be growing up
with that experience for so many different reasons for all
of you involved. I can't imagine. And I also just
(07:47):
it really hurts my heart to know that your mom
was trying to be such an advocate and she really
got ridiculed for doing so. And I think that's heartbreaking
in itself. But there's so many levels of that. And
I want to recognize just the importance of your family
and that situation that you guys went through. You mentioned
your experience as you were doing all of the right things,
(08:12):
you knew that health's nutrition will and this was important
because you'd seen this at such a young age. You
really had a first row seat to that experience. So
then naturally you started to find ways to understand that
and help others. But when you were having that moment
of I'm doing everything correctly, but I have all of
(08:33):
these problems, what was that turning point?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Describe that a little bit more. For me, it was
so obvious to me. It was just like it was
so blatantly obvious that I just went through this trauma
and I in addition, so I was a personal trainer
out of college. I was a personal trainer for thirteen years.
I started health coaching immediately. I was like immersing myself
in women's hormone healing. I was Reiki attuned and certified,
(08:58):
really studying a lot of energy healing modalities as well.
So this wasn't new to me, like mind, body, soul
wasn't new, but I got to experience it differently, like
it was a little bit fragmented, maybe disembodied prior to that.
So for me, it was just like, all right, here
we go, this is my initiation. And when my brother
(09:19):
passed away, I had very it was a massive spiritual
awakening for me. I had very clear communication with him,
like within the first couple days of him passing, and
I was able to actually see he showed me. He
came through to me and showed me the sole contract
that we had before coming to this planet together, like
(09:40):
what we really pre planned, and he vowed to give
up his life to wake me up so I can
share this work with so many other people. So for me,
the very clear thing after his death was how deeply
dysregulated my nervous system was not just from the death. Obviously,
that's very traumatic, anyone would react quite severely. But I
(10:03):
was like, I've actually been living in survival mode for
thirty years, Like my body doesn't even know what it means.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
To be safe.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
My body was just living in a state of hypervigilance
for so many years, and it was very clear to
me that the nervous system was the next big portal
for me to enter into my healing.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Why do you feel like our bodies do experience this trauma?
Because I did see some of your content about this,
and it was so interesting to me. I don't know
that we give ourselves enough credit that the life experiences
we have and how much our body just really fights
for us all the time. It's the one thing that's
being put through everything all the time. And you want
(10:45):
to pinpoint things and say this was emotional trauma, or
this was physical, this was mental health. You put them
in these boxes. But the one thing that's consistent when
I was reading your content is your body is the
one thing that's been through through all of it. Yes,
and we don't really treat it as such. We focus
on different pieces of the body to heal. But what
(11:06):
I hear you talking about is really trying to overhaul
your entire system that's been through all of this. What
do people need to wake up to see to know
that this is happening to them. I know this is
such a new conversation. It's a hot topic. Health and
wellness is a hot topic on social media, but this
in particular is a very newer conversation where you have
(11:28):
to heal your body from the inside out. So how
can we start to wake up people in that discussion.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, we are in the thick of the most severe
collective mental health crisis that's ever taken place on this planet,
and mental health is being talked about more than ever before.
But people are struggling worse than ever before. So I
like to say pharmaceuticals, safe spaces, crisis hotlines, that's not
what's going to save us. What's biological is psychological. There
(12:00):
is no separation. We're trying to, like you said, compartmentalize
a lot of things. People will go to a hormone doctor,
and then a gut gastro doctor, and then they're psychologists
for all these separate issues. It's all the same thing.
From an emotional perspective. People listening may not be able
to relate to my story of what I went through
(12:20):
with my family, but we all have our own story,
and at this point, working with well over fifteen thousand women,
even people who had incredible childhoods and really loving, supportive parents,
we all have some degree of unprocessed trauma because we
most of us grew up in a generation or in
a family in school systems that we weren't taught how
(12:42):
to process emotions like what we were taught how to numb.
We were taught how to dissociate. We were taught how
to fit into a mold and disconnect from the authentic
truth of who we are to thrive in school, But
no one ever taught us like that. Emotion is sensation
in the body, and we need to feel it, and
we need to be with it and learn it. And
when we do that, we can alchemize it and transmute
(13:05):
it and liberate it and release it. But most of
us are just walking around with decades of unprocessed emotions
in the body. The body keeps the score. Our issues
are stored in our tissues. I like to say, so
it doesn't have to be these massive, big TA traumas.
A lot of those little TA traumas add up over
time as well, and things like traditional talk therapy can
(13:27):
be really helpful for people, but it's not the be all,
end all, because we're still staying in the realm of
the cognition in the mind, so we need to go
deeper into the soma into the body to release what's
being held and creating a lot of disruption and chaos
and disease, so we can't fully heal a lot of
(13:48):
these chronic conditions. We talk about things like cancers. I've
helped people heal from stage four cancer and late stage
ms and things that we're conditioned to believe are impossible,
and a huge part of that process, in addition to
the nutrition and the blood sugar and their circadian biology
and reducing the toxin load and detoxing, is working at
(14:10):
the subconscious level, where all of that stuff is stored
below our conscious awareness. We don't really know that it's
even there, so it takes a lot of work to
stir it back up and build the capacity within our
nervous system so we can hold it without quite literally
blowing a fuse in the circuitry of our nervous system.
A lot of people we have to like a lot
(14:31):
of people want to go all in when they start
to learn about holistic healing, trauma healing, they want to
go from zero to one hundred, and that's a big
issue too. We do have to I say, like one
percent daily shifts. We have to start with our foundations.
We can't dive headfirst into detox, and we shouldn't be
diving headfirst into our deepest, darkest trauma because for most people,
(14:52):
I always say, like a disregulated nervous system is really
easy to disregulate. So if we do too much at once,
it can be tough people and set people back. So
starting with the body and starting with the things that
are beautiful, free medicine, sunshine, grounding nature for women, especially
eating enough. We've been conditioned for so long to believe
(15:16):
that when we were little, growing up, that being tiniest
synonymous with health, which isn't true. A lot of us
want on yo yo diets, a lot of us if
we didn't have full blown eating disorders, had a lot
of disordered eating body dysmorphia. A lot of us then
get into wellness and really think that like juices and
salads is nourishing ourself, and that's not enough. Either so nourishment,
(15:40):
like our body needs the fuel to detox to produce hormones,
but also to like process and metabolize emotions. We actually
need the energy to do that. So starting with the
very basics is what's going to take people the furthest
and that's when people are going to also start to
recognize like, wow, I'm nourishing my body. My mental health
(16:01):
feels better too. They're not separate whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, it's really important to recognize how connected everything is.
I think as an adult it reminds me of the
moment when I somebody was like, what is the biggest
organ in the body, And when somebody told me the skin,
I had this huge revel I was like, I been
like understanding my body wrong this whole time, I've missed
something and I did. That wasn't something that they were
teaching us growing up and understanding our bodies in those ways.
(16:26):
So it is all connected, and a lot of what
you're mentioning here I'm hearing and I'm like, this is
so great, and I hope people truly hear this. But
there's this level that we've been taught to believe what
you were talking about is it's not real, it's not
what we've been taught. So why is what she's saying
actually true now? Or what would you say to those people?
(16:49):
Because I want to make sure to give you the
space to do so, because I think that's such a
huge component of understanding holistic, integrative, all of these levels
of untraditional types of medicine, if you will, is the
best way I can describe that. But because I want
people to open their minds to understand that this is
(17:10):
an important conversation. This is important for them to understand
without being like, oh, you know what it is, woo,
it's not real. There's no way this is going to
help me. Totally yeah, I totally get it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I have thousands of doctors, surgeons, healthcare professionals in my program,
so people firsthand who are seeing what's clearly not working
are coming to me for support. I feel like that
says a lot, But I think it's important for people
to research and look at the history because this information
that I'm talking about has been the foundation of human
(17:42):
optimization forever, since the dawn of humanity. We are looking
for answers in a system that profits trillions of dollars
a year on people getting.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And staying sick.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
It's big business, right, Big pharmac puts together med school curriculum.
So our medical system is designed to help keep people
alive with pills and with surgeries. It's not designed to
help heal people. And all of the information I'm talking
about from ancient wisdom with detoxification and plant medicines and
(18:16):
optimizing your circadian rhythm and eating real food is all
of this stuff has really been only taken out of
the literature within the last one hundred and fifty years.
So I encourage people to do the research on how
Rockefeller Medicine came in, closed down all of the herbalism
schools and really just ushered in a whole new era
(18:37):
of what we've now conditioned to believe is health. But
it's sick care, right, So I think people just need
to see how they actually feel going to their doctor.
Do you ever feel heard?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Is there a solution you've ever been given if you
go in for severe cramps and bloating hormone issues other
than here's birth control, Like that's not healing. And again
saying I'm not shaming anyone who goes that direction. I
think there's a time and place for everything. I think
we can use some of those things as band aids
while we allow ourselves to go a little bit deeper
(19:12):
into figuring out those root causes.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I'm so glad that I made you have that response,
because I think people needed to hear it. And sometimes
we have to be reminded that our schooling didn't teach
us everything. We spend a lot of time in school,
so you would have thought that we have all the
answers and all the knowledge in the world, but we don't.
There was a lot of things that was withheld from
(19:35):
our education. So an important part of something that I
often always say, once we know better, we do better,
and so much of that is education and understanding the
systems that exist within our world. And I'm really glad
that you gave that. Don't have to listen to me,
but here's some education in case you would like to
know the background of this, because it is an important
(19:58):
piece of this. And I want people to hear your
words and not just automatically be like this is too
wo and it's not. This is real. This is a
way to help you heal.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
It's quantum physics, it's quantum biology. It's all rooted in science,
but like what we were only taught part of science
in school.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
We just didn't learn it all. And it's overwhelming. Now
you have these conversations, and chronic illness in general is
overwhelming because when you're faced with like you also dealt with,
you had this plethora of things that you were diagnosed with,
You're like, where do I even begin? What is going
to change that's gonna help all of these things? And
(20:36):
it's so true when you look at it from that perspective,
when you have been dealt a hand of chronic illness,
to say, something is obviously not right and if you're
just gonna give me more medicine to heal it, I
don't feel like that's also right. If you like genuinely
like just sit and think about it for a few minutes.
Everybody can feel that you're always your body always knows
when something is right or wrong, and we know that
(20:57):
in those moments. I would love to go into You
mentioned these different topics, and I also know you've talked
about parasites, you talked about the circadian rhythm, these different
kind of levels of things. What are some things that
we weren't taught that you feel like are really important
for us to understand about our body when you're talking
about this kind of years of things that we shoved
(21:18):
out and stopped learning about, because maybe this is an
educational moment for all of us. Totally, I think we
could just start.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So in my full root cause healing methodology, I teach
something called the order of operations, which is so important.
Like I was saying before, we can't dive immediately into
things like detox and deep trauma healing. We start by
building a really strong, well resourced foundation, and I'm going
to share a couple great tips in just a moment,
(21:46):
and regulating the nervous system, opening our drainage pathways, and
then going into multidimensional detoxification, which really is when we
open up when we start cleansing things like parasites and candida,
and they hold the emotional imprints of unprocessed trauma too,
Like you're going to feel these different emotions getting stirred
(22:08):
up as you're detoxing. Again, what's biological, is psychological, is energetic.
It is all the same thing. We are multi dimensional beings,
we just we are. So I feel like it's really
important for people to start. It's number one with women,
especially eating enough a lot of us who were told
twelve hundred calories a day growing up is what we
should be striving for. We first need to know that's
(22:28):
the caloric recommendation for a two year old toddler, not
a grown ass woman who is.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Able to very important minor detail there.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, And so our bodies don't run on thin air.
We need fuel for our bodies to do what they
were designed to do, which is enter a state of
self healing. But that requires energy, so eating enough And
for me, I when I went deep into my initial
wellness journey, I was super plant based and vegan for
a long time. And now I really understand that when
(23:00):
I talk about nourishment and nutrient density, that really high
quality animal nutrients are a big part of that conversation
as well. There's a lot of I feel like a
lot of my work is so much more than teaching
and helping people learn. There's a huge unlearning that comes
with this. So nutrition, of course, making sure we are
remineralizing our body, adding minerals to our water is like
(23:23):
the easiest thing you can do to start there. But
I feel like what I really want to talk about
is what's going to help people feel amazing quite immediately,
which is optimizing our circadian rhythm, and it's totally free.
So just to keep it really simple, our cells. We
have trillions of cells in our body, and they need
to know what time it is in order for them
(23:44):
to do the jobs they were designed to do, produce
different hormones, different enzymes, gene expression. If our body doesn't
know what time it is, it's going to be firing
on all cylinders at different times and it's going to
feel like chaos. So our body only knows what time
it is through light exposures.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
But now now we.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Live inside these homes with bright lights, and typically we're
on our phones and computers first thing in the morning,
and our body thinks that sunshine and our we're looking
at our phones and watching TVs and screens after the
sun goes down, and our body literally doesn't know what
time it is anymore. So I always say first hour
of the day if you can not touching your phone,
(24:21):
going outside and just getting direct sunlight in your eyeballs,
no sunglasses, no glasses, no contacts, and even five minutes
is going to make such a big difference. And for
people who actually struggle with sleep, getting that morning sunshine
actually signals to the brain to start producing melatonin sixteen
hours later, which we need for deeper sleep.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
So sleep hygiene.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Actually starts with your daylight exposure, So just getting as
much natural sunlight during the day as possible. You know
when you cannot wear sunglasses because it's the light entering
our eyeballs that signals to the brain and tells the
body like what to do. So I actually don't all
sunglasses anymore, which is crazy. If you need them when
you're driving, like obviously be safe, but if you're out
(25:05):
for walks, try to not wear sunglasses. It's going to
be super healthy for you. And get as much light
during the day and then at night, wear blue blocking glasses.
Change a couple bulbs in your home. I don't use
any of the overhead lights at night. I just change
a couple of the bulbs in my lamps to red
light bulbs and just softly dim your house. If you're
(25:28):
exposed to that blue light after sunset, your body thinks
it's daytime and going to your cortisol is going to
get spiked. Your cortisol should be going down at night,
your melatonin should be rising. But with blue light exposure,
it's going to be the opposite effect, and people might
be like, Okay, who cares because our circadian rhythm's going
to trickle into your gut health, your hormone health, your
(25:48):
mental health, your energy. People who are walking around with
brain fog and fatigue and low energy and all these
things we've normalized. I always say common, it's not normal.
Even if your friends are dealing with it, it doesn't mean
it's normal. A lot of these things can be supported
by really simple things, by getting our light exposures back
in check and optimizing our circadian biology. So that's where
(26:10):
I would encourage people to just start. It's really easy
and it doesn't cost a penny.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
And I'm assuming too that this means we should not
be watching TV at night. It would be a good guessed.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It ideally if I still like to watch TV at
night too. So if you're going to do it, put
on some we don't want to like raw Dog the TV,
or can we like have some blue blocking glasses so
it's just not so bright and maybe hopefully like at
least an hour before bed. Hopefully we're not doing that.
But I'm not telling people that they have to start
(26:43):
living back in a cave and living outside, and like,
I really love to weave in the ancestral wisdom and
make it modern because I do love a little reality
TV at night sometimes, but there are ways that we
can make it just better for us.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, that's important because this is how we start to
integrate them and really start to make the shifts and changes.
Because listen, I'm a big fan of baby steps because
baby step is better than no step totally and everything
in life. So if my baby step is I got
to start wearing some glasses that I can do, and
then we evolve and we continue. So I love that
part of it. And also I was so fascinated when
(27:19):
you were talking about the parasite side of things. Tell
me about that, because gosh, I'm sure I have some
I've never known. I've never looked into it. I don't
have any idea about any of this. Like we know
about parasites, but we don't know about parasites.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yes, if you have a pulse, you have parasites. So
every single person listening to this has parasites. And to
some degree, there is a normal amount of parasites in
our body. It's when they become it's when they overgrow
that it becomes an issue. So again, one hundred and
fifty years ago, the primary way that humans protected their
(27:55):
health was through parasite cleansing. You start literally as at
one years old. On social media. I have people obviously
all over the world, and a lot of women in
other countries in Latin America, they'll message me all the
time and they're like, Wow, Christy, it's crazy. You have
to actually convince people in the US that parasites are real,
(28:15):
because it is part of every single person's chronic illness
journey I've ever worked with. I've supported well over fifteen
thousand people. Like I said, through the process of parasite cleansing,
one hundred percent of women have released loads of parasites.
I'm not talking about one, I'm talking about thousands. So
parasites are attracted to toxic tissues. We're living in the
(28:38):
most toxic time to date on planet Earth. Our food
is poisoned, our water is poison the air is poison
The products we use on our body on our face
are cleaning products. The candles were burning in our home right,
So we've just become a toxic soup. A lot of women,
especially have been undernourished for so long, which means like
when our metabolism slows down, our metabolism isn't just like
(29:01):
how quick.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Or easy we gain or lose weight.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Our metabolism will control our gut, our elimination, our every
single physiological reaction in the body. So when your metabolism
slows down from undernourishing yourself for so long, our detox
pathways become sluggish, we become more toxic, and then the
parasites are then even more attracted to all of those
toxic tissues, both physically and emotionally. So I do know
(29:28):
a lot of people I work with health conscious people.
I attract health conscious people, and a lot of people
have come to me doing things like detoxes and parasite
cleanses for years and then the parasites keep returning. So yes,
anyone can go do a Candida cleanse, a parasite cleanse.
That's not the whole story here. We also need to
address all the physical, emotional, and energetic reasons why our
(29:51):
bodies become so hospitable to these pathogens in the first place,
and toxicity is going to be the number one thing there,
so just doing our best to swap things out, starting
with whatever touches your skin directly gets absorbed directly into
your bloodstream. So can we start with like our products right,
cleaning up our food, removing fragrance from our home. That
(30:13):
single word fragrance can contain over thirty five hundred unregulated carcinogenic,
endocrine disrupting chemicals. Thirty five hundred chemicals in one word
on a label. So if your makeup just says fragrance,
that can mean thirty five hundred more chemicals. So really
starting to reduce that toxin burden is going to help
(30:35):
reduce our parasite burden. But parasites live not.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Just in the gut.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
They live in every organ system, tissue, fluid in our body, brain, sinuses, pancreas, liver,
bile ducts, colon, lymphatic fluid in your blood. I've seen
people blow them out of their nose, people who have
dealt with like lifelong sinus infections and like inflamed sinuses,
and these are very real issues. The parasites steal our
(31:03):
nutrients before our body is able to assimilate the nutrients
that we're eating, so we become even more malnourished even
when we're eating enough. They steal our life force energy,
they create blockages in our system. So I see like
health and disease or illness as flow vers stagnation. When
things are flowing, like we're eliminating, we're pooping consistently, we're sweating,
(31:27):
our digestion is flowing, our energy is flowing. We're able
to speak our truth and metabolize our emotions and cry
when we need a cry, like that's going to lead
to a state of health. But when things become stagnant,
when we're constipated, when our mitochondria becomes so weak we
can't sweat anymore easily, When we have stagnant emotions, when
we swallow all of our words down and they're just
(31:49):
stewing in our body, that stagnation breeds disease, and it
also attracts all of the parasites, and then the parasites
create even more blockages in the body. So this conversation
can go so deep from a physical perspective, from an
energetic perspective, because parasites are a very energetic thing as well.
Parasitic relationships can fuel biological parasites. Having leaky boundaries with people,
(32:13):
it can.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Go so deep.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
But I completely reversed debilitating like debilitating endometriosis with one
parasite cleanse. In my first cleanse, I released so many parasites,
But that wasn't the be all, end all for me.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
The thing that I have really learned through the Root
Cause Lens.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Is again, like people can dive into those cleanses all
they want, it's not going to help you long term
if you're not again addressing all of the reasons why
your body's becoming so hospitable to the parasites, and our
drainage pathways must be open before entering a cleanse, because
what isn't eliminated gets recirculated. So if you are constipated,
(32:54):
if you are struggling to sweat, if you're not moving
your body, the toxins are just going to recirculate. So
I was smart to just like you're hearing me talk
about parasite cleansing, to go run and do it right away.
There are steps before that part.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, And as you're talking about all of this, it's funny,
I was, I've recently, in this part of my life,
really been trying to make all of the swaps. Even
when you came in, I got you a glass of water.
I was like, sorry, I don't do water bottles, which
is a weird new experience because you're so accustomed to
like go and grab a water bottle for someone. And
I was like, I hope you like glass because it's course.
(33:29):
But that's very much like my lifestyle now I've been.
It's a slow moving process and back to the baby steps.
I've tried to just acknowledge and give myself grace that
this is an entire lifelong process, just like, let me
swap everything right now totally, because I also don't be wasteful.
I've bought these things and I've consumed them, but as
(33:50):
soon as I finished something, I'm like, Okay, what's my
new swap for this? And it's been this baby step process.
I'm getting towards the end, like we've really taken a
long time, but it's taken close to two three's.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
To do this, same when I started as well.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
And once you get there, it's easy because then you
know what you're buying. You're paying attention to things, to
what to be aware of. But as the process is happening,
you're like, it feels so overwhelming when I hear you
talk about these things, like it feels overwhelming to me.
And I've already made a lot of the swaps. But
I think it's an important part of the conversation because,
like you're saying, you can heal as much as you
(34:26):
want to, but if you're still continuing to add toxins
and bad things to your body, what do you think
is going to happen. It's a portant piece of this
whole puzzle. And also you were talking about something else
that had reminded me of I also have endometriosis, and
(34:47):
I've dealt with it for decades, like it's been a
huge part. If I don't take every single birth control
pill a day, I am in debilitating pain where I've
been in the hospital. And this happened at the very
beginning of like my gosh, when this full first of
all started, that was the reason. It was because I
(35:07):
was in debility, like you would have thought that my
kidney burst every time I would be in the hospital.
I feel you, and it was the worst experience I
ever had. So hearing you talk about that, because so
many people have issues like endometriosis, and they do suffer,
and they go through all of these experiences trying to
help themselves and nothing's working. So hearing you say that, like,
(35:29):
this is a new path to take. If you're the
person like me, he's tried everything and I've done it.
This is another path to start going down. And I
know that's a big, big part of what you do.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
A huge part of endometriosis as parasites in the uterus.
It's very It's not the only thing I have witnessed.
So I've helped a lot of people heal endo. I
post about it on my Instagram. Some people get really
angry because they're like, endometriosis doesn't have a cure, Like
f you stop sharing this like horrible information and snake oil,
(35:59):
all the things that people want to say, And I
get it when people have been suffering for a long time. However,
I think people need to start getting more curious than
just like bashing, because if I, back when I was
struggling so severely with endos, saw that someone else had
healed it, the first thing I'd want to be asked
them is like, what did you do? And some things
(36:19):
that I've observed with women with endometriosis, parasites are always
a huge part of the picture. You're going to release
them from your uterus. You're going to bleed them out
like it's pretty wild. I have observed that there's typically
some form of mother wounding when we're getting into the
energetic aspect. So whether it's like your relationship with your
mother or your mother's relationship with her mother, it can
(36:41):
be ancestral too. But there is this like feminine wounding
in the ancestral lineage. I know this can be a
little woof for people, but like our womb is a
portal to the feminine lineage, it goes so deep. There's
usually mass cell activation syndrome and like a histamine response
going on. Obviously, estra gen dominance is a huge part
of endometriosis, but we have to address why is estrogen
(37:05):
dominant in the first place, right, and when our liver
is so overwhelmed with toxins from drinking alcohol consistently or
using toxin toxic products, having a lot of processed foods,
or even whole foods, but our food system in the
US is quite contaminated with glyphosate. What I'm saying is
when the liver is so overwhelmed with toxins, it actually
(37:26):
doesn't have the capacity to metabolize our metabolic waste aka
our hormones. So when your body uses a hormone like estrogen,
it should get metabolized and excreted and eliminated through the colon.
But when the liver doesn't have the capacity to do
that process, it's just going to get recirculated. So when
we reduce our toxin burden, it actually makes a huge
(37:47):
difference on our hormones, not overnight, but our liver, like
it needs to have the capacity to work on our
metabolic waste too, not just all the waste that we're
poisoning ourselves with. And there's so many other things with ENDO,
But for anyone else struggling, I do want to say, like,
there is hope. I this isn't my story of healing
(38:07):
ENDO isn't abnormal. It's so many of my students have
fully healed late stage ENDO. And yes, some people get
the excision or the surgery to provide some relief, but
as you probably know, a lot of people will go
through surgery and what happens, it grows back because we're
not getting to the roots of why it was there
in the first place. That's the same with a lot
(38:29):
of things like cancers too. Whatever people need to do,
if people want to go down more the conventional path,
Like we all have to make our own choice. But
there is a reason as to why cancer returns in
so many people because we're not addressing the physical, emotional,
and spiritual roots of why it did develop in the
first place. So this root cause healing conversation. I think
people can connect the dots when they hear that, right, Like,
(38:50):
you go through surgery, you get something cut out, you
go through chemo, you kill all the bad cells. Why
is it coming back? It's not just bad genes.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
So yeah, more in conversation. And I know that you're like,
I could go so many different ways with this, but
I'm happy you shared it. I'm happy you shared so
many different pieces to the puzzle because even having conversations
like this starts to make people wake up in question.
And even if it's one piece of this, it's like, Okay,
(39:19):
I can start going down this road. Because so much
of our experience is just these very direct paths, like
there's only this one way to do any of it,
and that's just not where we are anymore. We've learned
that with mental health, like we've come so far, we
have to continue going so far again, I will repeat
the phrase until I die. Once we know better, we
(39:40):
do better, and that's what we have to keep doing
for ourselves too. This is such an important part I
had on another episode. It was a woman had said
to me, she goes, why do we care about everything else?
But the one thing we need is our health and
we don't want to invest in it, and that's so important.
That's so it's an important realization of like, you're right,
(40:02):
why do we not? Like we I work out, I
eat healthy, but like I'm really not diving as deep
as I probably should. And so I just love everything
that you're sharing, and I appreciate you being here, and
very clearly I don't know you beyond today, but hearing
what you said about your brother and the experience you
had when you lost him, and him wanting you to
(40:24):
share all of this information and stuff, you're clearly doing
work that you should be doing. It's very clear, and
how you talk and how passionate you are about everything
that I don't think he was wrong. And I don't
know you guys by any other direction, but based on
what I'm sitting here and having this experience with you,
he was absolutely right in passing on that torch to say,
please share this information. So thanks for saying that, yeah,
(40:47):
and thank you for being here. I love to end
the podcast with whether it be a piece of motivation
or a piece of advice, or something that maybe we
never touched on to that you would love to share.
I love to end the episodes that way as something
to encourage people in a direction, even though we've done
a lot of that. Yeah, this whole podcast, that's what
I like to end on.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
I want to just mirror back what you've said, probably
like three different times in this episode, which is all
about the one percent shifts and how impactful that is
and how important that is. And it sounds a little cheesy,
but if you think about it, at the end of
the year, one percent daily shifts adds up to a
three hundred and sixty five percent massive shift. So these
(41:24):
micro shifts do make a big difference. We're not here,
we don't get a report card at the end of
like our health journey. This is if forever journey we're on.
I understand it can feel overwhelming if the information is new,
but you don't need to change everything overnight, and in fact,
our nervous system doesn't like that anyway. Our nervous system
is actually not wired for change. That's a whole other conversation.
(41:45):
But the little things do add up, and that's what
I want to leave people with. Don't get over don't
feel overwhelmed. If some of this information is due new
get outside and get sun. Start swapping one product at
a time, like Morgan was just saying, start mineralizing your water,
Start wearing blue blocking glasses at light at night, and
(42:06):
you know, the rest just opens up for you. Our
health is the portal to everything else we came here
to experience on this planet. What was wild to me
on my journey is how much mental real estate became
freed up when I was not bogged down anymore with endopain,
with bloating, with low energy. And it's like, when you're
(42:27):
not worried about your body all the time, you have
so much mental capacity to create, to be present, to love,
to connect, and that's what life is all about. So
our health is just the foundation for everything else we
came here to experience.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
That's the perfect thing to end on it. I have
asked you to say anything better in that moment, So Christy,
thank you for being here, thank you for sharing your
story and all of your wealth knowledge. It's been great
talking with you. Thank you so much. It's that time
(43:03):
for my diary entry in audio form. I love doing
interviews like the one that I just did with Christie.
It's so educational. It gives us information that I don't
feel like we're being given in a lot of different forms,
but thanks to social media, we now are and we're
learning a lot of things. This is the bright side
of technology and evolution and seeing the experiences that people
(43:28):
are going through and somebody like Christy who helps them
understand that they've tried everything and there's still other ways
to go about healing their health and chronic issues. But
I also have to recognize this other side of me
that gets really frustrated. I'm so angry because being a
human right now is so hard. And I'm not talking
(43:51):
about all the ways that you're probably thinking, like, yes,
all the horrible injustices in the world, all of the
things that are going wrong with different political parties, and
all the things that you naturally gravitate towards. I'm talking
about just literally being a human right now is tough.
And talking to Christy reminded me of that we are
(44:15):
consuming and eating things every day that are having products
and them that are killing us and hurting us, especially
our long term health. We have so many people out
there who are making healthy swaps and trying to clean
organize their homes and trying to do things for better lives.
Maybe it's for themselves, maybe it's for their families, their children.
(44:39):
But the fact that we even have to do this,
the fact that we have to pay such close attention
to the ingredients, to the things that products are made of,
that makes me so sad, and it makes me so
angry because being a human is already tough enough as
it is, having a job, trying to keep friends, keeping
(45:00):
yourself physically mentally in a great place. Maybe you have pets,
Maybe you're trying to keep your relationships intact. Maybe you're
trying to go after a new dream. Like the list
of things that humans have to do every day is
a laundry list. If you actually want to tackle everything
(45:21):
that you hope to do in your lifetime, and to
add on to that, it can't just be easy to
go to the store and find things that you can
put in your body and you can feel safe about
doing so, or you can't go buy a new product
that you saw online because you're like, Oh, that's a
safe one that looks really cool and good. I'm gonna
use it. No instead any time now, whether it be
(45:44):
clothing or the food you're consuming, the stuff you're putting
on your skin, the stuff that you buy for your kids,
your pets, the products that you bring into your home,
you have to analyze them. You have to say, what
does this mean? What is this going to look like
in five ten years if I continued using said product
for that long? Like, we haven't made everything tough enough
(46:08):
on us, And then there's this laundry list of things
that we're adding on to our already long to do lists.
And you're looking at somebody here and you're hearing somebody
right now, and the majority of spaces life is great.
(46:31):
I don't have a lot of things to complain about.
Am I able to move every day? Am I able
to wake up? Am I able to love on my
pets and talk to my friends and my family? Yes?
All those things. But I'm also someone who, day in
and day out, is trying every day to make a cleaner, healthier,
safer alternative for my everyday life. Heck, I'm even trying
(46:54):
to make sure all of the things I'm using are
cruelty free, which in twenty twenty five, the fact that
things aren't cruelty free wild to me, Like, what's the
point of getting all this technology if we're still testing
on animals. That's a story for another day. But beyond that,
(47:18):
when you look at me, I'm able bodied, I can
get up, I'm healthy, right, but I'm actually not. I
have long COVID. I'm now dealing with vertigo, lack of smell,
lack of taste, memory issues, all from that experience. Before that,
I've had endometriosis since I was in my early twenties.
(47:40):
I had a multitude of other illnesses that popped up
as I was dealing with vertigo. And now I'm in
such a weird place of trying to figure out what
path am I supposed to take to make myself better
because much like carrying Christy talk, I want to do
everything Christie is saying, you know why, because it sounds great.
(48:00):
It sounds like I can be healthy, it sounds like
I can make the right decisions, and it sounds like
my body will feel good again. But also that's so
hard to do in the world that we live. In
and yes, everything is a choice. I wholeheartedly believe that
you get to decide what you prioritize, what are going
(48:22):
to be your decisions that you make in that day.
But it also empathized with all of the people who
are literally just trying to get by and just trying
to be human and doing the very best that they can.
My health journey has been all over the place lately,
(48:42):
and as an adult sitting here, I have these conversations
with people like Christy and Kara in another interview that's
coming with a woman named Stephanie, and they're so inspiring
in so many ways. They're so informative. They have knowledge
that can help you with so many chronic illnesses and
so so many issues that we face that when you
typically go into a doctor's office today, they say, we
(49:04):
can't help you. And so think of how refreshing it
is to have these people now where you may actually
get answers, or you may actually get help to something
that before everybody told you there is no answer to,
we can't help you. I think that's a beautiful thing
about the space that we're in right now, But there
is no doubt that it's also overwhelming That's why me
(49:29):
cleaning out my home to make it more clean and
cruelty free and non toxic has taken upwards of three
years and is still happening. Like I haven't just done
it one weekend and it's all over and everything in
my house is all of a sudden non toxic. Heck,
I still use fragrances and I'm still using things that
(49:50):
I know are probably not the best. Like, this is
a hard choice. This is a hard battle to fight
to truly be on this other side where people like
Christy are. But you see them and you're like, oh,
I love that. I want that energy, I want that experience.
(50:12):
But I just want to make sure that in this diary.
But I just want to make sure in this diary
entry that people realize I am not bringing all these
interviews to be like you have to do this, this
has to change. It's to give you the information. I
would rather a hundred times over have the information, have
(50:34):
the knowledge, and then I can make my own choices
based on having all of the information. It's like in
school when they give you a test and you're like, well,
you only gave me half of the study materials for that.
I don't know the other half, and they're like, we
kind of have to figure it out. That's what our
health has become. Here's half of the answers. We don't
(50:57):
know the other half or we can't help you with
the other half, but you have to figure it out.
So I like people like Christy, like Kara who is
on another episode, who can come and give alternative perspectives.
I love the idea of blending holistic medicine with the
medicine that's helping save lives. I like both. I like
(51:20):
gray areas in all things. I like to find that
middle ground where both things can coexist in a beautiful
way to help all of us instead of hurting us.
And it's funny we do interviews like this on this episode,
and I know there's gonna be people who will say, Gosh,
(51:41):
that's so woo woo, or that's so far fetched, or
this doesn't make any sense, there's no way. And of
course people are gonna feel that way because we've been
taught to believe stuff like this can't help us or
it shouldn't. But there's also proof that this stuff has
helped people. The things that she's talking about has changed
people's lives and helped a lot of people, So why
(52:04):
can't two things coexist, especially in the matter of our health,
our wellness, our entire lives, the bodies that we live
in day in and day out. It's wild the human
experience in so many ways. And I think as I
become an adult, I realize just how much everything's pretty convoluted,
(52:30):
and it's better to live in the gray area. It's
better never to have all the answers, and it's better
to question everything, because if you sit there and you
think you have all the answers and you never question
one type of way of doing things, then you're never
gonna evolve and you're never gonna grow. And I am
(52:53):
the walking contradiction of the internal battle, right Like I
have that side of me that feels that way, and
then the other side that's just so angry that I
have to question everything and so angry that everything has
to be so complicated. And why does it take me
forever until I'm thirty one years old that I finally
hear some from somebody who's like Christy, who has all
(53:16):
of this experience, knowledge, science, and says, hey, this can
actually help you, Like, why did it take me thirty
one years to find someone to have that type of
conversation with that's not cool. So it is an internal battle.
It's fighting the things that we've been taught our entire
lives to then coming into this belief of we don't
(53:37):
know everything, and sometimes it's really important that we explore
different things, especially when it comes to our health. And
that's the journey that I've been on gosh for probably
the last five years. COVID really put it on a
different track with the experiences that I've had with long COVID,
but even dealing with indometriosis before that, and then also
(53:59):
finding out I was sensitive to gluten and sensitive to
refine sugars, and just that my body needed me to
overall be healthy. I'm hearing all of these and I
recognize that me being vegetarian, especially being vegetarian since eight
years old, can have its own detriment. But what I'm
(54:22):
also never gonna do is gonna go online and get
mad at somebody for a choice that they decided to
live their life by, which a lot of people love
to do for me. They love to hear my problems
about long COVID or whatever and say you're vegetarian. That's
your fault. Also, why do I have to be the
one to make the choice between I don't want to
kill living things just so I can get all of
(54:43):
my stuff? Like, why was that the only choice? This
is hints why I like to live in the gray area.
I don't think that has to be the only choice.
I don't think it has to be black and white
like that. And I think that for most things in
my life. I think that for a lot of the
experiences I've had as an adult, I've come to the
conclusion that most things are just better to exist in
(55:04):
the gray area. But really even more so in this
health journey, and as I'm about to go get blood
work done here soon, that I gosh, I haven't had
a full blood panel done in my life and over
a decade because I had such horrible experiences with doctors
and going into doctor's offices and everybody highlighting one specific
(55:25):
thing that needed to be worked on, and then they'd
send you to somebody else for another specialist to do
another thing. And hearing Christy's share stories and just understanding
the body as a whole feels like I finally got
some validation for the things that I experienced, and I
hope that did for a lot of people too. And
(55:47):
as I go in to get this blood work done,
which is going to be very comprehensive, and we're checking
in autoimmune diseases and we're checking out my iron levels
and vitamin D for vertigo and all kinds of things
that we're going to be checking into. But that's just
step one. Beyond that, I'm also about to change my
diet and work with Kara to start to really evolve
(56:08):
my nutrition and understand what's happening in my body. And
it's going to be hard. Doing all these things is
going to be really hard, and I'm actually really scared
because it's going to be lifestyle changes and I think
I'm going to get answers to things that I probably
don't actually want the answer to. But sometimes getting the
(56:28):
answer is the only way forward. When you have chronic issues.
It's like you want the answer, you want to know
how to solve your problem. But then you also know
when you get the answer, it's probably not going to
be easy. It's not going to be an easy change
or like, oh, I can't just one day cut out
eating crackers. That's not going to change it. It's going
(56:52):
to be a whole lifestyle change, And I think there's
this terrifying moment that I'm having right now where if
I really want to get my health, health and everything
in this truly like healthy, great space that I'm doing
everything right for my body, the body that I have
to live in for the rest of my life, I'm
(57:12):
going to have to start making some changes in a
lot of ways, and that's scary. So maybe you resonated
with the Vertigo episode last week, Maybe you resonated with
the episode with Kara when she was on and talking
about nutrition. Maybe you resonated this week and hearing Christy
talk about all kinds of different things. But I think
(57:35):
it's an important time right now where we're at, that
people are waking up and trying to make the decisions
that are best for themselves in their lives and the
people in them. And that's a really cool place to
be in. But just like me, it's also probably pretty
scary at first. So if you're going through it like me,
(57:58):
or you're about to go through it, or it could
be coming for you, then I hope you know that
you're not alone in it, and it's not a thing
that we really talk about. You don't really go up
to your friends and you're like, oh my gosh, my
health problems and go on this whole rant that I
just did in this diary entry audio form. But maybe
(58:18):
you feel seen because this is a conversation you wish
you could have or I said something that feels relevant
to what you're going through. But all this to say,
I hope everybody out there who's struggling with any version
of health issues gets the answers that they need, and
I hope you all find some healing in whatever form
(58:42):
it may come in. Thanks for joining me this week.
As always, I'm so happy you're here and I hope
it helped you in more ways than one. I have
some episodes coming up about friendship, veterans, disabilities, and someone
who truly has been through so many things and has
pushed through to be here on the podcast and share
her story. Follow the Instagram page at Take This Personally.
(59:02):
We've got full interviews also up on the YouTube page
at web Girl Morgan. You can watch all of these
in video form. And that's all for now. I'll chat
with you guys next week. I love you. Bye,
Personally Fueldsman. Joining me on this episode is Christi Nlt.
She's a root cause practitioner and educator as well as
the CEO of a company called Microflow. I'm bringing her
on to educate on topics like how body stores trauma,
why people haven't been able to heal from chronic conditions,
understanding the science behind root causes of our health, and
(00:37):
why wearing sunglasses could be hurting us. Oh, and parasites. Yes,
all those things, and then I'll share some very candid
thoughts in my audio journal entry after doing this interview.
I'm excited to be joined right now by Christy Nolt.
(00:58):
She's a root cause health practitioner, educator, plant medicine expert,
CEO of a company just all the things. Christy, welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Thank you so much, Morgan, I'm so happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Happy to be here with little friend me too, the
podcast Therapy Dog. Rimmy's gotten very good at her role
here sat the show. But thank you for being here
and talking about some really important things. I would love
to start in a place where you share your story
and your why to where you are now before we
get into the nitty gritty details of all the other
(01:30):
good stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, thank you so much. It's so important. I can't
really share what I'm doing or why I'm doing what
I do without taking you guys all the way back.
So I like to say my story started when I
was three years old. I am one of three children.
I'm the middle child. My brother was the oldest, and
(01:51):
my parents describe him as truly the perfect firstborn ever.
He was so healthy, so smart, so funnyarismatic and athletic,
and it had so much fun with him for about
seven years. And he went in for just a routine
get seven years old and was severely vaccine injured. He
(02:12):
went into the doctor's office vibrant, healthy, incredible, and left
that day as a different person. So we started having
Grandma seizures just hours after this appointment. Soon was diagnosed
with the most severe case of epilepsy that doctors had
ever witnessed at this point in time.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
In the early.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Nineties, he was having three hundred and fifty Grandmall seizures
every single day, went through over thirteen brain surgeries by
the time he was in middle school, had over half
his brain removed. Was just on dozens of medications that
were creating so many other issues. So I saw from
a very young age what clearly wasn't working in the
(02:51):
medical system. I like to share with people that I
think Western medicine is incredible for emergency care. Like you
get in a car accident, you're going to go to
the er, right, You're not going to go to your
natural path. But when it comes to chronic conditions, they
are lifestyle based. We can talk about depletion, dysregulation, poisons, right,
(03:13):
and a lot of times our quote unquote solutions in
Western medicine just create a lot more issues. So for me,
that was the blueprint of my nervous system from a
really young age was chaos and fear, and a lot
of the medications that he was on caused behavioral outbursts,
so I didn't feel.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Really safe in my home. These medications, by the.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Way, now have black box warnings on them for young
boys that they create violence. And my mom was such
a fierce advocate for my brother. We didn't have the
internet back then, so she would go to the library
and just research and do the best she could and
present alternative options to my brother's team of doctors. So
(03:55):
even back then, like chiropractic care was considered alternative, and
we were incredibly gas lit as a family, and I
saw what happened also when you use your voice against
the system. So essentially, at one point in time, my
mom was like, what we're doing is clearly not working.
He's just getting worse. And that doctor in turn diagnosed
(04:18):
my mom with Munchausen biproxy, basically saying, you're making this
all up, You're making your child ill, and they took
the doctors took my brother off all his meds cold turkey.
That day, he seized for seventy two hours straight and
was never the same after that. It was just so wild,
and I don't have a lot of memories. Under the
(04:39):
age of twenty five years old. I starting to come
back because I've been working with a lot of plant medicines,
which we can possibly talk about today, but that's something
I have a very vivid memory of. And so for
me growing up, like I just didn't want to cause
any more issues for my parents. They had enough on
their plate. So my form of coping and survival was
(05:02):
debilitating forms of perfectionism. Just straight a thriving student, thriving
a lead athlete had to have perfect body. It really
led into severe eating disorders by the time I was
in middle school, and it was just like it was
just rough. My brother ended up passing away when he
in twenty fifteen, so about ten years ago, and the
(05:24):
trauma of that incident, like he was sick his entire life,
but it was still a shock when he passed away.
And I had been dealing with gut issues, I had
been dealing with some hormone issues, but the trauma of
that death really sent me into a tailspin of a
list am I along of my own journey with chronic
illness ahead. So I was, just weeks after my brother's death,
(05:47):
diagnosed with endometriosis, chronic lime disease, masstyle activation syndrome, autoimmunity.
Like the list goes on and on, and I knew
right then and there that the system wasn't going to
have answers for me. I had already been working in
the holistic healing space. I've been working in this space
for over fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So I was doing all.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
The right things already, perfect diet, perfect exercise, taking all
the supplements, detox, meditating, journaling, right, and I'm like, wow,
I just witnessed how my body reacted to an emotional trauma,
and it really led me down the path of multidimensional healing,
where yes, we have to focus on the physical body,
and that's a huge part of my foundational work, but
(06:27):
our unprocessed emotional wounds are unprocessed trauma. Our nervous system
is over fifty percent of the puzzle. So within that
next year, ripping away entirely from the system, I completely
healed everything on my own naturally, and that's really my
message to this day. I don't believe that there's anything
(06:50):
that's incurable. That just mean when we're told there's an
incurable disease, it means there's not a pill to fix
it right now. But when we get to the physical, emotional,
and spiritual roots of why we became ill and imbalanced
in the first place, I truly believe healing is always
available to us, and that is the work that.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
I do today.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I teach big online courses. I also have a microdosing
mushroom supplement company which has just been completely next level.
And yeah, that's taking it back for you.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
There's so many different directions now that we can start
to dive into. Thank you for sharing in a nutshell
what your story is. I know, there's so much more
than what you just said there. And first, I want
to recognize how difficult that had to be growing up
with that experience for so many different reasons for all
of you involved. I can't imagine. And I also just
(07:47):
it really hurts my heart to know that your mom
was trying to be such an advocate and she really
got ridiculed for doing so. And I think that's heartbreaking
in itself. But there's so many levels of that. And
I want to recognize just the importance of your family
and that situation that you guys went through. You mentioned
your experience as you were doing all of the right things,
(08:12):
you knew that health's nutrition will and this was important
because you'd seen this at such a young age. You
really had a first row seat to that experience. So
then naturally you started to find ways to understand that
and help others. But when you were having that moment
of I'm doing everything correctly, but I have all of
(08:33):
these problems, what was that turning point?
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Describe that a little bit more. For me, it was
so obvious to me. It was just like it was
so blatantly obvious that I just went through this trauma
and I in addition, so I was a personal trainer
out of college. I was a personal trainer for thirteen years.
I started health coaching immediately. I was like immersing myself
in women's hormone healing. I was Reiki attuned and certified,
(08:58):
really studying a lot of energy healing modalities as well.
So this wasn't new to me, like mind, body, soul
wasn't new, but I got to experience it differently, like
it was a little bit fragmented, maybe disembodied prior to that.
So for me, it was just like, all right, here
we go, this is my initiation. And when my brother
(09:19):
passed away, I had very it was a massive spiritual
awakening for me. I had very clear communication with him,
like within the first couple days of him passing, and
I was able to actually see he showed me. He
came through to me and showed me the sole contract
that we had before coming to this planet together, like
(09:40):
what we really pre planned, and he vowed to give
up his life to wake me up so I can
share this work with so many other people. So for me,
the very clear thing after his death was how deeply
dysregulated my nervous system was not just from the death. Obviously,
that's very traumatic, anyone would react quite severely. But I
(10:03):
was like, I've actually been living in survival mode for
thirty years, Like my body doesn't even know what it means.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
To be safe.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
My body was just living in a state of hypervigilance
for so many years, and it was very clear to
me that the nervous system was the next big portal
for me to enter into my healing.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Why do you feel like our bodies do experience this trauma?
Because I did see some of your content about this,
and it was so interesting to me. I don't know
that we give ourselves enough credit that the life experiences
we have and how much our body just really fights
for us all the time. It's the one thing that's
being put through everything all the time. And you want
(10:45):
to pinpoint things and say this was emotional trauma, or
this was physical, this was mental health. You put them
in these boxes. But the one thing that's consistent when
I was reading your content is your body is the
one thing that's been through through all of it. Yes,
and we don't really treat it as such. We focus
on different pieces of the body to heal. But what
(11:06):
I hear you talking about is really trying to overhaul
your entire system that's been through all of this. What
do people need to wake up to see to know
that this is happening to them. I know this is
such a new conversation. It's a hot topic. Health and
wellness is a hot topic on social media, but this
in particular is a very newer conversation where you have
(11:28):
to heal your body from the inside out. So how
can we start to wake up people in that discussion.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, we are in the thick of the most severe
collective mental health crisis that's ever taken place on this planet,
and mental health is being talked about more than ever before.
But people are struggling worse than ever before. So I
like to say pharmaceuticals, safe spaces, crisis hotlines, that's not
what's going to save us. What's biological is psychological. There
(12:00):
is no separation. We're trying to, like you said, compartmentalize
a lot of things. People will go to a hormone doctor,
and then a gut gastro doctor, and then they're psychologists
for all these separate issues. It's all the same thing.
From an emotional perspective. People listening may not be able
to relate to my story of what I went through
(12:20):
with my family, but we all have our own story,
and at this point, working with well over fifteen thousand women,
even people who had incredible childhoods and really loving, supportive parents,
we all have some degree of unprocessed trauma because we
most of us grew up in a generation or in
a family in school systems that we weren't taught how
(12:42):
to process emotions like what we were taught how to numb.
We were taught how to dissociate. We were taught how
to fit into a mold and disconnect from the authentic
truth of who we are to thrive in school, But
no one ever taught us like that. Emotion is sensation
in the body, and we need to feel it, and
we need to be with it and learn it. And
when we do that, we can alchemize it and transmute
(13:05):
it and liberate it and release it. But most of
us are just walking around with decades of unprocessed emotions
in the body. The body keeps the score. Our issues
are stored in our tissues. I like to say, so
it doesn't have to be these massive, big TA traumas.
A lot of those little TA traumas add up over
time as well, and things like traditional talk therapy can
(13:27):
be really helpful for people, but it's not the be all,
end all, because we're still staying in the realm of
the cognition in the mind, so we need to go
deeper into the soma into the body to release what's
being held and creating a lot of disruption and chaos
and disease, so we can't fully heal a lot of
(13:48):
these chronic conditions. We talk about things like cancers. I've
helped people heal from stage four cancer and late stage
ms and things that we're conditioned to believe are impossible,
and a huge part of that process, in addition to
the nutrition and the blood sugar and their circadian biology
and reducing the toxin load and detoxing, is working at
(14:10):
the subconscious level, where all of that stuff is stored
below our conscious awareness. We don't really know that it's
even there, so it takes a lot of work to
stir it back up and build the capacity within our
nervous system so we can hold it without quite literally
blowing a fuse in the circuitry of our nervous system.
A lot of people we have to like a lot
(14:31):
of people want to go all in when they start
to learn about holistic healing, trauma healing, they want to
go from zero to one hundred, and that's a big
issue too. We do have to I say, like one
percent daily shifts. We have to start with our foundations.
We can't dive headfirst into detox, and we shouldn't be
diving headfirst into our deepest, darkest trauma because for most people,
(14:52):
I always say, like a disregulated nervous system is really
easy to disregulate. So if we do too much at once,
it can be tough people and set people back. So
starting with the body and starting with the things that
are beautiful, free medicine, sunshine, grounding nature for women, especially
eating enough. We've been conditioned for so long to believe
(15:16):
that when we were little, growing up, that being tiniest
synonymous with health, which isn't true. A lot of us
want on yo yo diets, a lot of us if
we didn't have full blown eating disorders, had a lot
of disordered eating body dysmorphia. A lot of us then
get into wellness and really think that like juices and
salads is nourishing ourself, and that's not enough. Either so nourishment,
(15:40):
like our body needs the fuel to detox to produce hormones,
but also to like process and metabolize emotions. We actually
need the energy to do that. So starting with the
very basics is what's going to take people the furthest
and that's when people are going to also start to
recognize like, wow, I'm nourishing my body. My mental health
(16:01):
feels better too. They're not separate whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah, it's really important to recognize how connected everything is.
I think as an adult it reminds me of the
moment when I somebody was like, what is the biggest
organ in the body, And when somebody told me the skin,
I had this huge revel I was like, I been
like understanding my body wrong this whole time, I've missed
something and I did. That wasn't something that they were
teaching us growing up and understanding our bodies in those ways.
(16:26):
So it is all connected, and a lot of what
you're mentioning here I'm hearing and I'm like, this is
so great, and I hope people truly hear this. But
there's this level that we've been taught to believe what
you were talking about is it's not real, it's not
what we've been taught. So why is what she's saying
actually true now? Or what would you say to those people?
(16:49):
Because I want to make sure to give you the
space to do so, because I think that's such a
huge component of understanding holistic, integrative, all of these levels
of untraditional types of medicine, if you will, is the
best way I can describe that. But because I want
people to open their minds to understand that this is
(17:10):
an important conversation. This is important for them to understand
without being like, oh, you know what it is, woo,
it's not real. There's no way this is going to
help me. Totally yeah, I totally get it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I have thousands of doctors, surgeons, healthcare professionals in my program,
so people firsthand who are seeing what's clearly not working
are coming to me for support. I feel like that
says a lot, But I think it's important for people
to research and look at the history because this information
that I'm talking about has been the foundation of human
(17:42):
optimization forever, since the dawn of humanity. We are looking
for answers in a system that profits trillions of dollars
a year on people getting.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And staying sick.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
It's big business, right, Big pharmac puts together med school curriculum.
So our medical system is designed to help keep people
alive with pills and with surgeries. It's not designed to
help heal people. And all of the information I'm talking
about from ancient wisdom with detoxification and plant medicines and
(18:16):
optimizing your circadian rhythm and eating real food is all
of this stuff has really been only taken out of
the literature within the last one hundred and fifty years.
So I encourage people to do the research on how
Rockefeller Medicine came in, closed down all of the herbalism
schools and really just ushered in a whole new era
(18:37):
of what we've now conditioned to believe is health. But
it's sick care, right, So I think people just need
to see how they actually feel going to their doctor.
Do you ever feel heard?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Right?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Is there a solution you've ever been given if you
go in for severe cramps and bloating hormone issues other
than here's birth control, Like that's not healing. And again
saying I'm not shaming anyone who goes that direction. I
think there's a time and place for everything. I think
we can use some of those things as band aids
while we allow ourselves to go a little bit deeper
(19:12):
into figuring out those root causes.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I'm so glad that I made you have that response,
because I think people needed to hear it. And sometimes
we have to be reminded that our schooling didn't teach
us everything. We spend a lot of time in school,
so you would have thought that we have all the
answers and all the knowledge in the world, but we don't.
There was a lot of things that was withheld from
(19:35):
our education. So an important part of something that I
often always say, once we know better, we do better,
and so much of that is education and understanding the
systems that exist within our world. And I'm really glad
that you gave that. Don't have to listen to me,
but here's some education in case you would like to
know the background of this, because it is an important
(19:58):
piece of this. And I want people to hear your
words and not just automatically be like this is too
wo and it's not. This is real. This is a
way to help you heal.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
It's quantum physics, it's quantum biology. It's all rooted in science,
but like what we were only taught part of science
in school.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
We just didn't learn it all. And it's overwhelming. Now
you have these conversations, and chronic illness in general is
overwhelming because when you're faced with like you also dealt with,
you had this plethora of things that you were diagnosed with,
You're like, where do I even begin? What is going
to change that's gonna help all of these things? And
(20:36):
it's so true when you look at it from that perspective,
when you have been dealt a hand of chronic illness,
to say, something is obviously not right and if you're
just gonna give me more medicine to heal it, I
don't feel like that's also right. If you like genuinely
like just sit and think about it for a few minutes.
Everybody can feel that you're always your body always knows
when something is right or wrong, and we know that
(20:57):
in those moments. I would love to go into You
mentioned these different topics, and I also know you've talked
about parasites, you talked about the circadian rhythm, these different
kind of levels of things. What are some things that
we weren't taught that you feel like are really important
for us to understand about our body when you're talking
about this kind of years of things that we shoved
(21:18):
out and stopped learning about, because maybe this is an
educational moment for all of us. Totally, I think we
could just start.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So in my full root cause healing methodology, I teach
something called the order of operations, which is so important.
Like I was saying before, we can't dive immediately into
things like detox and deep trauma healing. We start by
building a really strong, well resourced foundation, and I'm going
to share a couple great tips in just a moment,
(21:46):
and regulating the nervous system, opening our drainage pathways, and
then going into multidimensional detoxification, which really is when we
open up when we start cleansing things like parasites and candida,
and they hold the emotional imprints of unprocessed trauma too,
Like you're going to feel these different emotions getting stirred
(22:08):
up as you're detoxing. Again, what's biological, is psychological, is energetic.
It is all the same thing. We are multi dimensional beings,
we just we are. So I feel like it's really
important for people to start. It's number one with women,
especially eating enough a lot of us who were told
twelve hundred calories a day growing up is what we
should be striving for. We first need to know that's
(22:28):
the caloric recommendation for a two year old toddler, not
a grown ass woman who is.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Able to very important minor detail there.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, And so our bodies don't run on thin air.
We need fuel for our bodies to do what they
were designed to do, which is enter a state of
self healing. But that requires energy, so eating enough And
for me, I when I went deep into my initial
wellness journey, I was super plant based and vegan for
a long time. And now I really understand that when
(23:00):
I talk about nourishment and nutrient density, that really high
quality animal nutrients are a big part of that conversation
as well. There's a lot of I feel like a
lot of my work is so much more than teaching
and helping people learn. There's a huge unlearning that comes
with this. So nutrition, of course, making sure we are
remineralizing our body, adding minerals to our water is like
(23:23):
the easiest thing you can do to start there. But
I feel like what I really want to talk about
is what's going to help people feel amazing quite immediately,
which is optimizing our circadian rhythm, and it's totally free.
So just to keep it really simple, our cells. We
have trillions of cells in our body, and they need
to know what time it is in order for them
(23:44):
to do the jobs they were designed to do, produce
different hormones, different enzymes, gene expression. If our body doesn't
know what time it is, it's going to be firing
on all cylinders at different times and it's going to
feel like chaos. So our body only knows what time
it is through light exposures.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
But now now we.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Live inside these homes with bright lights, and typically we're
on our phones and computers first thing in the morning,
and our body thinks that sunshine and our we're looking
at our phones and watching TVs and screens after the
sun goes down, and our body literally doesn't know what
time it is anymore. So I always say first hour
of the day if you can not touching your phone,
(24:21):
going outside and just getting direct sunlight in your eyeballs,
no sunglasses, no glasses, no contacts, and even five minutes
is going to make such a big difference. And for
people who actually struggle with sleep, getting that morning sunshine
actually signals to the brain to start producing melatonin sixteen
hours later, which we need for deeper sleep.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
So sleep hygiene.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Actually starts with your daylight exposure, So just getting as
much natural sunlight during the day as possible. You know
when you cannot wear sunglasses because it's the light entering
our eyeballs that signals to the brain and tells the
body like what to do. So I actually don't all
sunglasses anymore, which is crazy. If you need them when
you're driving, like obviously be safe, but if you're out
(25:05):
for walks, try to not wear sunglasses. It's going to
be super healthy for you. And get as much light
during the day and then at night, wear blue blocking glasses.
Change a couple bulbs in your home. I don't use
any of the overhead lights at night. I just change
a couple of the bulbs in my lamps to red
light bulbs and just softly dim your house. If you're
(25:28):
exposed to that blue light after sunset, your body thinks
it's daytime and going to your cortisol is going to
get spiked. Your cortisol should be going down at night,
your melatonin should be rising. But with blue light exposure,
it's going to be the opposite effect, and people might
be like, Okay, who cares because our circadian rhythm's going
to trickle into your gut health, your hormone health, your
(25:48):
mental health, your energy. People who are walking around with
brain fog and fatigue and low energy and all these
things we've normalized. I always say common, it's not normal.
Even if your friends are dealing with it, it doesn't mean
it's normal. A lot of these things can be supported
by really simple things, by getting our light exposures back
in check and optimizing our circadian biology. So that's where
(26:10):
I would encourage people to just start. It's really easy
and it doesn't cost a penny.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
And I'm assuming too that this means we should not
be watching TV at night. It would be a good guessed.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
It ideally if I still like to watch TV at
night too. So if you're going to do it, put
on some we don't want to like raw Dog the TV,
or can we like have some blue blocking glasses so
it's just not so bright and maybe hopefully like at
least an hour before bed. Hopefully we're not doing that.
But I'm not telling people that they have to start
(26:43):
living back in a cave and living outside, and like,
I really love to weave in the ancestral wisdom and
make it modern because I do love a little reality
TV at night sometimes, but there are ways that we
can make it just better for us.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
No, that's important because this is how we start to
integrate them and really start to make the shifts and changes.
Because listen, I'm a big fan of baby steps because
baby step is better than no step totally and everything
in life. So if my baby step is I got
to start wearing some glasses that I can do, and
then we evolve and we continue. So I love that
part of it. And also I was so fascinated when
(27:19):
you were talking about the parasite side of things. Tell
me about that, because gosh, I'm sure I have some
I've never known. I've never looked into it. I don't
have any idea about any of this. Like we know
about parasites, but we don't know about parasites.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yes, if you have a pulse, you have parasites. So
every single person listening to this has parasites. And to
some degree, there is a normal amount of parasites in
our body. It's when they become it's when they overgrow
that it becomes an issue. So again, one hundred and
fifty years ago, the primary way that humans protected their
(27:55):
health was through parasite cleansing. You start literally as at
one years old. On social media. I have people obviously
all over the world, and a lot of women in
other countries in Latin America, they'll message me all the
time and they're like, Wow, Christy, it's crazy. You have
to actually convince people in the US that parasites are real,
(28:15):
because it is part of every single person's chronic illness
journey I've ever worked with. I've supported well over fifteen
thousand people. Like I said, through the process of parasite cleansing,
one hundred percent of women have released loads of parasites.
I'm not talking about one, I'm talking about thousands. So
parasites are attracted to toxic tissues. We're living in the
(28:38):
most toxic time to date on planet Earth. Our food
is poisoned, our water is poison the air is poison
The products we use on our body on our face
are cleaning products. The candles were burning in our home right,
So we've just become a toxic soup. A lot of women,
especially have been undernourished for so long, which means like
when our metabolism slows down, our metabolism isn't just like
(29:01):
how quick.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Or easy we gain or lose weight.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Our metabolism will control our gut, our elimination, our every
single physiological reaction in the body. So when your metabolism
slows down from undernourishing yourself for so long, our detox
pathways become sluggish, we become more toxic, and then the
parasites are then even more attracted to all of those
toxic tissues, both physically and emotionally. So I do know
(29:28):
a lot of people I work with health conscious people.
I attract health conscious people, and a lot of people
have come to me doing things like detoxes and parasite
cleanses for years and then the parasites keep returning. So yes,
anyone can go do a Candida cleanse, a parasite cleanse.
That's not the whole story here. We also need to
address all the physical, emotional, and energetic reasons why our
(29:51):
bodies become so hospitable to these pathogens in the first place,
and toxicity is going to be the number one thing there,
so just doing our best to swap things out, starting
with whatever touches your skin directly gets absorbed directly into
your bloodstream. So can we start with like our products right,
cleaning up our food, removing fragrance from our home. That
(30:13):
single word fragrance can contain over thirty five hundred unregulated carcinogenic,
endocrine disrupting chemicals. Thirty five hundred chemicals in one word
on a label. So if your makeup just says fragrance,
that can mean thirty five hundred more chemicals. So really
starting to reduce that toxin burden is going to help
(30:35):
reduce our parasite burden. But parasites live not.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Just in the gut.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
They live in every organ system, tissue, fluid in our body, brain, sinuses, pancreas, liver,
bile ducts, colon, lymphatic fluid in your blood. I've seen
people blow them out of their nose, people who have
dealt with like lifelong sinus infections and like inflamed sinuses,
and these are very real issues. The parasites steal our
(31:03):
nutrients before our body is able to assimilate the nutrients
that we're eating, so we become even more malnourished even
when we're eating enough. They steal our life force energy,
they create blockages in our system. So I see like
health and disease or illness as flow vers stagnation. When
things are flowing, like we're eliminating, we're pooping consistently, we're sweating,
(31:27):
our digestion is flowing, our energy is flowing. We're able
to speak our truth and metabolize our emotions and cry
when we need a cry, like that's going to lead
to a state of health. But when things become stagnant,
when we're constipated, when our mitochondria becomes so weak we
can't sweat anymore easily, When we have stagnant emotions, when
we swallow all of our words down and they're just
(31:49):
stewing in our body, that stagnation breeds disease, and it
also attracts all of the parasites, and then the parasites
create even more blockages in the body. So this conversation
can go so deep from a physical perspective, from an
energetic perspective, because parasites are a very energetic thing as well.
Parasitic relationships can fuel biological parasites. Having leaky boundaries with people,
(32:13):
it can.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Go so deep.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
But I completely reversed debilitating like debilitating endometriosis with one
parasite cleanse. In my first cleanse, I released so many parasites,
But that wasn't the be all, end all for me.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
The thing that I have really learned through the Root
Cause Lens.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Is again, like people can dive into those cleanses all
they want, it's not going to help you long term
if you're not again addressing all of the reasons why
your body's becoming so hospitable to the parasites, and our
drainage pathways must be open before entering a cleanse, because
what isn't eliminated gets recirculated. So if you are constipated,
(32:54):
if you are struggling to sweat, if you're not moving
your body, the toxins are just going to recirculate. So
I was smart to just like you're hearing me talk
about parasite cleansing, to go run and do it right away.
There are steps before that part.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, And as you're talking about all of this, it's funny,
I was, I've recently, in this part of my life,
really been trying to make all of the swaps. Even
when you came in, I got you a glass of water.
I was like, sorry, I don't do water bottles, which
is a weird new experience because you're so accustomed to
like go and grab a water bottle for someone. And
I was like, I hope you like glass because it's course.
(33:29):
But that's very much like my lifestyle now I've been.
It's a slow moving process and back to the baby steps.
I've tried to just acknowledge and give myself grace that
this is an entire lifelong process, just like, let me
swap everything right now totally, because I also don't be wasteful.
I've bought these things and I've consumed them, but as
(33:50):
soon as I finished something, I'm like, Okay, what's my
new swap for this? And it's been this baby step process.
I'm getting towards the end, like we've really taken a
long time, but it's taken close to two three's.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
To do this, same when I started as well.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
And once you get there, it's easy because then you
know what you're buying. You're paying attention to things, to
what to be aware of. But as the process is happening,
you're like, it feels so overwhelming when I hear you
talk about these things, like it feels overwhelming to me.
And I've already made a lot of the swaps. But
I think it's an important part of the conversation because,
like you're saying, you can heal as much as you
(34:26):
want to, but if you're still continuing to add toxins
and bad things to your body, what do you think
is going to happen. It's a portant piece of this
whole puzzle. And also you were talking about something else
that had reminded me of I also have endometriosis, and
(34:47):
I've dealt with it for decades, like it's been a
huge part. If I don't take every single birth control
pill a day, I am in debilitating pain where I've
been in the hospital. And this happened at the very
beginning of like my gosh, when this full first of
all started, that was the reason. It was because I
(35:07):
was in debility, like you would have thought that my
kidney burst every time I would be in the hospital.
I feel you, and it was the worst experience I
ever had. So hearing you talk about that, because so
many people have issues like endometriosis, and they do suffer,
and they go through all of these experiences trying to
help themselves and nothing's working. So hearing you say that, like,
(35:29):
this is a new path to take. If you're the
person like me, he's tried everything and I've done it.
This is another path to start going down. And I
know that's a big, big part of what you do.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
A huge part of endometriosis as parasites in the uterus.
It's very It's not the only thing I have witnessed.
So I've helped a lot of people heal endo. I
post about it on my Instagram. Some people get really
angry because they're like, endometriosis doesn't have a cure, Like
f you stop sharing this like horrible information and snake oil,
(35:59):
all the things that people want to say, And I
get it when people have been suffering for a long time. However,
I think people need to start getting more curious than
just like bashing, because if I, back when I was
struggling so severely with endos, saw that someone else had
healed it, the first thing I'd want to be asked
them is like, what did you do? And some things
(36:19):
that I've observed with women with endometriosis, parasites are always
a huge part of the picture. You're going to release
them from your uterus. You're going to bleed them out
like it's pretty wild. I have observed that there's typically
some form of mother wounding when we're getting into the
energetic aspect. So whether it's like your relationship with your
mother or your mother's relationship with her mother, it can
(36:41):
be ancestral too. But there is this like feminine wounding
in the ancestral lineage. I know this can be a
little woof for people, but like our womb is a
portal to the feminine lineage, it goes so deep. There's
usually mass cell activation syndrome and like a histamine response
going on. Obviously, estra gen dominance is a huge part
of endometriosis, but we have to address why is estrogen
(37:05):
dominant in the first place, right, and when our liver
is so overwhelmed with toxins from drinking alcohol consistently or
using toxin toxic products, having a lot of processed foods,
or even whole foods, but our food system in the
US is quite contaminated with glyphosate. What I'm saying is
when the liver is so overwhelmed with toxins, it actually
(37:26):
doesn't have the capacity to metabolize our metabolic waste aka
our hormones. So when your body uses a hormone like estrogen,
it should get metabolized and excreted and eliminated through the colon.
But when the liver doesn't have the capacity to do
that process, it's just going to get recirculated. So when
we reduce our toxin burden, it actually makes a huge
(37:47):
difference on our hormones, not overnight, but our liver, like
it needs to have the capacity to work on our
metabolic waste too, not just all the waste that we're
poisoning ourselves with. And there's so many other things with ENDO,
But for anyone else struggling, I do want to say, like,
there is hope. I this isn't my story of healing
(38:07):
ENDO isn't abnormal. It's so many of my students have
fully healed late stage ENDO. And yes, some people get
the excision or the surgery to provide some relief, but
as you probably know, a lot of people will go
through surgery and what happens, it grows back because we're
not getting to the roots of why it was there
in the first place. That's the same with a lot
(38:29):
of things like cancers too. Whatever people need to do,
if people want to go down more the conventional path,
Like we all have to make our own choice. But
there is a reason as to why cancer returns in
so many people because we're not addressing the physical, emotional,
and spiritual roots of why it did develop in the
first place. So this root cause healing conversation. I think
people can connect the dots when they hear that, right, Like,
(38:50):
you go through surgery, you get something cut out, you
go through chemo, you kill all the bad cells. Why
is it coming back? It's not just bad genes.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
So yeah, more in conversation. And I know that you're like,
I could go so many different ways with this, but
I'm happy you shared it. I'm happy you shared so
many different pieces to the puzzle because even having conversations
like this starts to make people wake up in question.
And even if it's one piece of this, it's like, Okay,
(39:19):
I can start going down this road. Because so much
of our experience is just these very direct paths, like
there's only this one way to do any of it,
and that's just not where we are anymore. We've learned
that with mental health, like we've come so far, we
have to continue going so far again, I will repeat
the phrase until I die. Once we know better, we
(39:40):
do better, and that's what we have to keep doing
for ourselves too. This is such an important part I
had on another episode. It was a woman had said
to me, she goes, why do we care about everything else?
But the one thing we need is our health and
we don't want to invest in it, and that's so important.
That's so it's an important realization of like, you're right,
(40:02):
why do we not? Like we I work out, I
eat healthy, but like I'm really not diving as deep
as I probably should. And so I just love everything
that you're sharing, and I appreciate you being here, and
very clearly I don't know you beyond today, but hearing
what you said about your brother and the experience you
had when you lost him, and him wanting you to
(40:24):
share all of this information and stuff, you're clearly doing
work that you should be doing. It's very clear, and
how you talk and how passionate you are about everything
that I don't think he was wrong. And I don't
know you guys by any other direction, but based on
what I'm sitting here and having this experience with you,
he was absolutely right in passing on that torch to say,
please share this information. So thanks for saying that, yeah,
(40:47):
and thank you for being here. I love to end
the podcast with whether it be a piece of motivation
or a piece of advice, or something that maybe we
never touched on to that you would love to share.
I love to end the episodes that way as something
to encourage people in a direction, even though we've done
a lot of that. Yeah, this whole podcast, that's what
I like to end on.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
I want to just mirror back what you've said, probably
like three different times in this episode, which is all
about the one percent shifts and how impactful that is
and how important that is. And it sounds a little cheesy,
but if you think about it, at the end of
the year, one percent daily shifts adds up to a
three hundred and sixty five percent massive shift. So these
(41:24):
micro shifts do make a big difference. We're not here,
we don't get a report card at the end of
like our health journey. This is if forever journey we're on.
I understand it can feel overwhelming if the information is new,
but you don't need to change everything overnight, and in fact,
our nervous system doesn't like that anyway. Our nervous system
is actually not wired for change. That's a whole other conversation.
(41:45):
But the little things do add up, and that's what
I want to leave people with. Don't get over don't
feel overwhelmed. If some of this information is due new
get outside and get sun. Start swapping one product at
a time, like Morgan was just saying, start mineralizing your water,
Start wearing blue blocking glasses at light at night, and
(42:06):
you know, the rest just opens up for you. Our
health is the portal to everything else we came here
to experience on this planet. What was wild to me
on my journey is how much mental real estate became
freed up when I was not bogged down anymore with endopain,
with bloating, with low energy. And it's like, when you're
(42:27):
not worried about your body all the time, you have
so much mental capacity to create, to be present, to love,
to connect, and that's what life is all about. So
our health is just the foundation for everything else we
came here to experience.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
That's the perfect thing to end on it. I have
asked you to say anything better in that moment, So Christy,
thank you for being here, thank you for sharing your
story and all of your wealth knowledge. It's been great
talking with you. Thank you so much. It's that time
(43:03):
for my diary entry in audio form. I love doing
interviews like the one that I just did with Christie.
It's so educational. It gives us information that I don't
feel like we're being given in a lot of different forms,
but thanks to social media, we now are and we're
learning a lot of things. This is the bright side
of technology and evolution and seeing the experiences that people
(43:28):
are going through and somebody like Christy who helps them
understand that they've tried everything and there's still other ways
to go about healing their health and chronic issues. But
I also have to recognize this other side of me
that gets really frustrated. I'm so angry because being a
human right now is so hard. And I'm not talking
(43:51):
about all the ways that you're probably thinking, like, yes,
all the horrible injustices in the world, all of the
things that are going wrong with different political parties, and
all the things that you naturally gravitate towards. I'm talking
about just literally being a human right now is tough.
And talking to Christy reminded me of that we are
(44:15):
consuming and eating things every day that are having products
and them that are killing us and hurting us, especially
our long term health. We have so many people out
there who are making healthy swaps and trying to clean
organize their homes and trying to do things for better lives.
Maybe it's for themselves, maybe it's for their families, their children.
(44:39):
But the fact that we even have to do this,
the fact that we have to pay such close attention
to the ingredients, to the things that products are made of,
that makes me so sad, and it makes me so
angry because being a human is already tough enough as
it is, having a job, trying to keep friends, keeping
(45:00):
yourself physically mentally in a great place. Maybe you have pets,
Maybe you're trying to keep your relationships intact. Maybe you're
trying to go after a new dream. Like the list
of things that humans have to do every day is
a laundry list. If you actually want to tackle everything
(45:21):
that you hope to do in your lifetime, and to
add on to that, it can't just be easy to
go to the store and find things that you can
put in your body and you can feel safe about
doing so, or you can't go buy a new product
that you saw online because you're like, Oh, that's a
safe one that looks really cool and good. I'm gonna
use it. No instead any time now, whether it be
(45:44):
clothing or the food you're consuming, the stuff you're putting
on your skin, the stuff that you buy for your kids,
your pets, the products that you bring into your home,
you have to analyze them. You have to say, what
does this mean? What is this going to look like
in five ten years if I continued using said product
for that long? Like, we haven't made everything tough enough
(46:08):
on us, And then there's this laundry list of things
that we're adding on to our already long to do lists.
And you're looking at somebody here and you're hearing somebody
right now, and the majority of spaces life is great.
(46:31):
I don't have a lot of things to complain about.
Am I able to move every day? Am I able
to wake up? Am I able to love on my
pets and talk to my friends and my family? Yes?
All those things. But I'm also someone who, day in
and day out, is trying every day to make a cleaner, healthier,
safer alternative for my everyday life. Heck, I'm even trying
(46:54):
to make sure all of the things I'm using are
cruelty free, which in twenty twenty five, the fact that
things aren't cruelty free wild to me, Like, what's the
point of getting all this technology if we're still testing
on animals. That's a story for another day. But beyond that,
(47:18):
when you look at me, I'm able bodied, I can
get up, I'm healthy, right, but I'm actually not. I
have long COVID. I'm now dealing with vertigo, lack of smell,
lack of taste, memory issues, all from that experience. Before that,
I've had endometriosis since I was in my early twenties.
(47:40):
I had a multitude of other illnesses that popped up
as I was dealing with vertigo. And now I'm in
such a weird place of trying to figure out what
path am I supposed to take to make myself better
because much like carrying Christy talk, I want to do
everything Christie is saying, you know why, because it sounds great.
(48:00):
It sounds like I can be healthy, it sounds like
I can make the right decisions, and it sounds like
my body will feel good again. But also that's so
hard to do in the world that we live. In
and yes, everything is a choice. I wholeheartedly believe that
you get to decide what you prioritize, what are going
(48:22):
to be your decisions that you make in that day.
But it also empathized with all of the people who
are literally just trying to get by and just trying
to be human and doing the very best that they can.
My health journey has been all over the place lately,
(48:42):
and as an adult sitting here, I have these conversations
with people like Christy and Kara in another interview that's
coming with a woman named Stephanie, and they're so inspiring
in so many ways. They're so informative. They have knowledge
that can help you with so many chronic illnesses and
so so many issues that we face that when you
typically go into a doctor's office today, they say, we
(49:04):
can't help you. And so think of how refreshing it
is to have these people now where you may actually
get answers, or you may actually get help to something
that before everybody told you there is no answer to,
we can't help you. I think that's a beautiful thing
about the space that we're in right now, But there
is no doubt that it's also overwhelming That's why me
(49:29):
cleaning out my home to make it more clean and
cruelty free and non toxic has taken upwards of three
years and is still happening. Like I haven't just done
it one weekend and it's all over and everything in
my house is all of a sudden non toxic. Heck,
I still use fragrances and I'm still using things that
(49:50):
I know are probably not the best. Like, this is
a hard choice. This is a hard battle to fight
to truly be on this other side where people like
Christy are. But you see them and you're like, oh,
I love that. I want that energy, I want that experience.
(50:12):
But I just want to make sure that in this diary.
But I just want to make sure in this diary
entry that people realize I am not bringing all these
interviews to be like you have to do this, this
has to change. It's to give you the information. I
would rather a hundred times over have the information, have
(50:34):
the knowledge, and then I can make my own choices
based on having all of the information. It's like in
school when they give you a test and you're like, well,
you only gave me half of the study materials for that.
I don't know the other half, and they're like, we
kind of have to figure it out. That's what our
health has become. Here's half of the answers. We don't
(50:57):
know the other half or we can't help you with
the other half, but you have to figure it out.
So I like people like Christy, like Kara who is
on another episode, who can come and give alternative perspectives.
I love the idea of blending holistic medicine with the
medicine that's helping save lives. I like both. I like
(51:20):
gray areas in all things. I like to find that
middle ground where both things can coexist in a beautiful
way to help all of us instead of hurting us.
And it's funny we do interviews like this on this episode,
and I know there's gonna be people who will say, Gosh,
(51:41):
that's so woo woo, or that's so far fetched, or
this doesn't make any sense, there's no way. And of
course people are gonna feel that way because we've been
taught to believe stuff like this can't help us or
it shouldn't. But there's also proof that this stuff has
helped people. The things that she's talking about has changed
people's lives and helped a lot of people, So why
(52:04):
can't two things coexist, especially in the matter of our health,
our wellness, our entire lives, the bodies that we live
in day in and day out. It's wild the human
experience in so many ways. And I think as I
become an adult, I realize just how much everything's pretty convoluted,
(52:30):
and it's better to live in the gray area. It's
better never to have all the answers, and it's better
to question everything, because if you sit there and you
think you have all the answers and you never question
one type of way of doing things, then you're never
gonna evolve and you're never gonna grow. And I am
(52:53):
the walking contradiction of the internal battle, right Like I
have that side of me that feels that way, and
then the other side that's just so angry that I
have to question everything and so angry that everything has
to be so complicated. And why does it take me
forever until I'm thirty one years old that I finally
hear some from somebody who's like Christy, who has all
(53:16):
of this experience, knowledge, science, and says, hey, this can
actually help you, Like, why did it take me thirty
one years to find someone to have that type of
conversation with that's not cool. So it is an internal battle.
It's fighting the things that we've been taught our entire
lives to then coming into this belief of we don't
(53:37):
know everything, and sometimes it's really important that we explore
different things, especially when it comes to our health. And
that's the journey that I've been on gosh for probably
the last five years. COVID really put it on a
different track with the experiences that I've had with long COVID,
but even dealing with indometriosis before that, and then also
(53:59):
finding out I was sensitive to gluten and sensitive to
refine sugars, and just that my body needed me to
overall be healthy. I'm hearing all of these and I
recognize that me being vegetarian, especially being vegetarian since eight
years old, can have its own detriment. But what I'm
(54:22):
also never gonna do is gonna go online and get
mad at somebody for a choice that they decided to
live their life by, which a lot of people love
to do for me. They love to hear my problems
about long COVID or whatever and say you're vegetarian. That's
your fault. Also, why do I have to be the
one to make the choice between I don't want to
kill living things just so I can get all of
(54:43):
my stuff? Like, why was that the only choice? This
is hints why I like to live in the gray area.
I don't think that has to be the only choice.
I don't think it has to be black and white
like that. And I think that for most things in
my life. I think that for a lot of the
experiences I've had as an adult, I've come to the
conclusion that most things are just better to exist in
(55:04):
the gray area. But really even more so in this
health journey, and as I'm about to go get blood
work done here soon, that I gosh, I haven't had
a full blood panel done in my life and over
a decade because I had such horrible experiences with doctors
and going into doctor's offices and everybody highlighting one specific
(55:25):
thing that needed to be worked on, and then they'd
send you to somebody else for another specialist to do
another thing. And hearing Christy's share stories and just understanding
the body as a whole feels like I finally got
some validation for the things that I experienced, and I
hope that did for a lot of people too. And
(55:47):
as I go in to get this blood work done,
which is going to be very comprehensive, and we're checking
in autoimmune diseases and we're checking out my iron levels
and vitamin D for vertigo and all kinds of things
that we're going to be checking into. But that's just
step one. Beyond that, I'm also about to change my
diet and work with Kara to start to really evolve
(56:08):
my nutrition and understand what's happening in my body. And
it's going to be hard. Doing all these things is
going to be really hard, and I'm actually really scared
because it's going to be lifestyle changes and I think
I'm going to get answers to things that I probably
don't actually want the answer to. But sometimes getting the
(56:28):
answer is the only way forward. When you have chronic issues.
It's like you want the answer, you want to know
how to solve your problem. But then you also know
when you get the answer, it's probably not going to
be easy. It's not going to be an easy change
or like, oh, I can't just one day cut out
eating crackers. That's not going to change it. It's going
(56:52):
to be a whole lifestyle change, And I think there's
this terrifying moment that I'm having right now where if
I really want to get my health, health and everything
in this truly like healthy, great space that I'm doing
everything right for my body, the body that I have
to live in for the rest of my life, I'm
(57:12):
going to have to start making some changes in a
lot of ways, and that's scary. So maybe you resonated
with the Vertigo episode last week, Maybe you resonated with
the episode with Kara when she was on and talking
about nutrition. Maybe you resonated this week and hearing Christy
talk about all kinds of different things. But I think
(57:35):
it's an important time right now where we're at, that
people are waking up and trying to make the decisions
that are best for themselves in their lives and the
people in them. And that's a really cool place to
be in. But just like me, it's also probably pretty
scary at first. So if you're going through it like me,
(57:58):
or you're about to go through it, or it could
be coming for you, then I hope you know that
you're not alone in it, and it's not a thing
that we really talk about. You don't really go up
to your friends and you're like, oh my gosh, my
health problems and go on this whole rant that I
just did in this diary entry audio form. But maybe
(58:18):
you feel seen because this is a conversation you wish
you could have or I said something that feels relevant
to what you're going through. But all this to say,
I hope everybody out there who's struggling with any version
of health issues gets the answers that they need, and
I hope you all find some healing in whatever form
(58:42):
it may come in. Thanks for joining me this week.
As always, I'm so happy you're here and I hope
it helped you in more ways than one. I have
some episodes coming up about friendship, veterans, disabilities, and someone
who truly has been through so many things and has
pushed through to be here on the podcast and share
her story. Follow the Instagram page at Take This Personally.
(59:02):
We've got full interviews also up on the YouTube page
at web Girl Morgan. You can watch all of these
in video form. And that's all for now. I'll chat
with you guys next week. I love you. Bye,
