The Hidden Toxins Behind COVID’s Long Shadow - Episode 242
Summary In this special episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast Dr. Margaret Christensen shares her personal experience of getting sick and not finding relief through traditional medicine, leading her to explore integrative and functional medicine. She discusses the intersection of COVID and its impact on various aspects of health, including hormonal, neurological, cardiovascular, fertility, mental health, and autoimmune health. Dr. Christensen emphasizes the importance of addressing mindset, gut health, and sleep in unraveling the knot of health issues. She also highlights the toxic burden of mold and other environmental toxins, as well as the potential long-term consequences of spike protein exposure. The conversation covers various topics related to the long-term effects of COVID-19 and the importance of a whole systems approach to health. The principal themes include cardiovascular inflammation, the impact of spike protein on different organs, detoxification pathways, rejuvenation protocols, the role of trauma in health, and finding meaning and purpose in life. The conversation emphasizes the need for compassion, understanding, and innovation in addressing health challenges and optimizing longevity. Takeaways COVID has had a significant impact on various aspects of health, including hormonal, neurological, cardiovascular, fertility, mental health, and autoimmune health. Integrative and functional medicine can provide alternative approaches to address health issues that traditional medicine may not effectively treat. Unraveling health issues requires addressing mindset, gut health, and sleep, in addition to other factors like toxic burden and genetic predispositions. Mold toxicity and spike protein exposure can have long-term consequences on health and should be taken into consideration. There is a need for further research on the correlation between vaccination status and fertility. Cardiovascular inflammation, mitochondrial disruption, and inflammation inside blood vessels are some of the mechanisms observed in the long-term effects of COVID-19. The spike protein in the mRNA vaccines can enter various organs, including the brain, ovaries, testicles, kidneys, liver, and gut. Detoxification pathways and the order in which they are addressed are crucial in addressing health challenges. Rejuvenation protocols, such as IV phosphatidylcholine, ozone therapy, and peptides, can help rebuild the body. Trauma, both acute and chronic, can have a significant impact on health and should be addressed in a holistic approach. Finding meaning and purpose, along with compassion and a whole systems approach, are essential for optimal health and longevity.
