Mindsip insights from this episode:

Reduce EMF exposure to protect cellular energy production

EMFs can trigger voltage-gated calcium channels in your cells, causing an influx of calcium that stresses mitochondria and impairs energy production.

#EMF

#mitochondria

Use lamp control switch to turn off WiFi and reduce EMF exposure

Use a simple five-dollar lamp control switch to easily turn off your WiFi router at night, reducing EMF exposure while you sleep.

#EMF

Incorporate toxin binders during sauna detox for effective results

When using a sauna to release toxins, you must also take binders like activated charcoal, bentonite clay, or modified citrus pectin to trap them in the gut and prevent reabsorption.

#detox

#toxin

Ensure your body feels safe to promote healing and detoxification

Your body cannot properly digest, detox, or heal until it feels safe at a cellular level and shifts out of a chronic fight-or-flight state.

#stress

Get morning sunlight without sunglasses to reset circadian clock

Getting morning sunlight to set your circadian clock only works if you do not wear sunglasses, allowing natural light to enter your eyes.

Uncover hidden mold to protect mitochondrial health

Over 100 million US homes have mold, a source of mitochondrial-damaging mycotoxins, and the most dangerous types are often hidden in walls and HVAC systems.
