Summary: In this video, Dr Cassie Smith interviews Justine Stagner, a holistic nutritionist and functional medicine health coach, about the impact of the environment on our health. Justine explains how cell phones emit non-native electromagnetic frequencies that deplete our electrical charge and negatively impact our cellular functions. Justine and Dr. Cassie Smith discuss the importance of supporting mitochondrial health for overall well-being and fertility. They emphasize the role of phospholipids in restoring damaged cell membranes and improving redox potential.

Wellness Tips Summary 

1. Our cell membranes are comprised of 50-90% phospholipids, depending on the cell type. These membranes act as a semi-permeable barrier, regulating everything that enters and exits the cell. Our organelles also have membranes, and if they don't have a membrane, they are interacting with one. Membranes are essential! When we have healthy membranes, we are set up for optimal cellular health. The mitochondrial membrane is particularly crucial due to the role the inner membrane plays in oxidative phosphorylation—the generation of ATP (energy) and water. The better our mitochondrial functioning, the better our overall health. Phospholipids are the most potent and powerful deposit into your biochemical bank account! 

1. Light Exposure - Exposure to the wrong type of light at the wrong time can wreak havoc on our cellular health. Your cells all have clock genes that are regulated by sunlight. Morning sunlight is the most important signal to give your body to regulate the 1 billion biochemical reactions that are taking place in your cells every single second. Complete darkness after sunset is equally important to support processes like autophagy, melatonin release, the docking of leptin in the hypothalamus, and much more. The harm that LED lights, which emit blue light, have on our health cannot be overstated. Excessive exposure to blue light, especially at night, can disrupt circadian rhythms, impair sleep quality, and contribute to various health issues such as increased stress, decreased immune function, metabolic disturbances, and eventually chronic disease.

There has been a 500% increase in breast cancer due to blue light exposure at night (which comes from cell phones). 

Tips For Decreasing Blue Light

-Change phone screen to red light and filter out blue light

Settings -> accessibility -> display and text size -> color filters -> click red/green filter then check mark color tint -> pull the intensity and hue as far to the right as possible  

Settings -> display and brightness -> check light and turn brightness down as much as possible

-Get red light bulbs for your home

- Download Iris on your computer to filter blue light

- Purchase blue light glasses for nighttime use  

- Purchase red light glasses for daytime use

3. Limit Radio Waves with Phones, Internet, and Headphones

-Consider hiring a building biologist to look at EMF’s in your home 

- Hardwire computers to internet connections instead of using wifi

-Keep your cell phone off your body

-Limit cell phone use but when using do not hold to your head/ear – put on speakerphone if talking

-Get headphones that do not use Bluetooth!

-Turn off as many settings on your phone as possible (try only using phone with wifi on – turing off all other settings below will decrease radiofrequency over 100x) 

- Settings -> Cellular -> Personal Hotspot -> off 

- Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Data -> off

- Settings -> Cellular -> Personal Hotspot -> off

- Settings -> Bluetooth -> off

- Settings -> Wifi -> off

4. Earth Exposure – ground on the earth with your bare feet as much as possible, especially when using a cell phone (avoid turf as it is full of chemicals)

-Plant flowers or garden 

5. Food Exposure – choose foods that are

rich in electrons like oysters, other sources of wild seafood, coconut, fresh fruits and vegetables (in season)

Eat in season – don’t eat fruits and vegetables in the winter if they do not grow where you live! 

6. Body Bio Supplements – use code ME for 15% off

1. Phospholipid complex – building blocks for your cell membranes - restores and support cell membranes

2.  Balance oil – healthy fats that strengthen cell structures to keep mitochondria working with linoleic and alpha linoleic acid in 4:1 ratio which is ideal for cellular health
