Why Detox Isn’t a Trend – It’s a Modern Necessity
In today’s world, detoxification isn’t about sipping celery juice or starving on lemon water for three days. It’s about helping your body actually process and eliminate the massive load of environmental toxins we’re exposed to daily.
From polluted air and pesticide-laced produce to heavy metals in seafood and endocrine disruptors in skincare – toxins are no longer the exception. They’re the baseline.
NEW PODCAST EPISODE: HOW TO NAVIGATE (MIS)INFORMATION OVERLOAD In HEALTH TODAY
I’m on Danish podcast show “Rikke Paa Vrangen”. We’re talking about how to navigate the overload of (mis)information in nutrition and health – a world where everyone seems to be an “expert” these days, but only few actually have a nutrition-related educational background - unfortunately adding to a wealth of misinformation.
How do you know what’s real, what’s marketing, and what’s just plain dangerous?
We go over tools to think critically, act strategically, and navigate the chaos of information.
WATCH MY TALK: Functional medicine strategies to protect ourselves from EMFs
This summer I was in Germany to give a lecture on how best to protect yourself - from a functional medical point of view - against the harmful effects of EMF radiation from our smartphones, wifi, baby monitors etc.
At present, it is common knowledge that men's sperm quality i.a. is significantly affected because we carry our mobile phones. close to the body.
More and more research is coming out about far more disturbing consequences of radiation damage - and no matter how inconvenient we may think it is to deal with, it affects our own and our children's health regardless of us closing our eyes to inconvenient facts.
Watch my talk on the health issues surrounding #EMF exposure and how to protect ourselves via functional medicine strategies.

Lessons from 15 years in clinical practice: 4 Key Things That Cause Migraines
Headaches are almost as commonly accepted as the flu these days. And while there are many reasons why we suffer from headaches in our modern sedentary lifestyle, it is not something we should accept - it is a sign the something is off and painkillers alone is not going to bring our body back in balance even if they temporarily can help calm the pain.
Many of the same triggers that causes a simple headache are involved in the more severe migraine attacks. Migraines are not the same as regular headaches that most people experience occasionally. During a migraine attack, you may feel sharp, stabbing pain, typically on one side of the head. Migraines are much more intense than regular headaches and often come with other symptoms like visual disturbances, nausea and vomiting.
Headaches, especially migraines, can greatly affect your quality of life.
Prolonged migraines may result in a combination of chronic migraines and tension headaches.
While every body and biochemistry is unique, I have found some or all of factors to be the root causes of migraines in most cases:
NEW INTERVIEW: Cancer nutrition with Dr. Kurt Woeller D.O.
Dr. Kurt Woeller D. O. is one of the pioneers in understanding biochemical abnormalities related to autism and neurological issues. I highly recommend working with him if you or anyone you know struggles with autism - his knowledge is unsurpassed.
His detailed biochemical understanding of health and disease is truly unique and I’ve followed his work for the last decade along with - unbeknownst to him - I happened to take a training course in organic acid testing led by Dr. Woeller approx a decade ago.
Today I had the pleasure of being on his newly released podcast “Doc Talks”. He is truly one of a select handfuld of incredibly knowledgable practitioners, I have been lucky enough to either be mentored by or work directly with - i.e. Dr. Eric Braverman MD, Dr. Deepak Chopra MD, Dr. Rau MD, Dr. Greg Melvin (who I also collaborate currently with on analysing my clients’ thermography scans) and Dr. Woeller D.O.

Conference talk: How to protect ourselves from EMFs
Europeans For Safe Connections is hosting their annual conference in Kassel, Germany the weekend of 28-30th of June 2024. At the conference I am doing a talk on understanding how EMFs impact us and strategies we can take to minimise negative health impact. In this talk we will focus on gaining insight into the things we can control, so we can function in a wireless world that we have little control over. This talk is scheduled for 9:30 AM Saturday 29th of June in Kassel, Germany and is part of the weekend conference for Europeans For Safe Connections - read the full program and sign up for the conference here: https://esc-info.eu/en/invitation-to-esc-conference-2024/
Scientist + Professor Olle Johansson talks on health issues from our smartphones, wifi and more.
“We can read that 5G is dangerous and can be used as a weapon! Is it true? The phenomenon of electrical hypersensitivity is it just hypersensitivity or can it be proven in studies? To solve our questions about 5G and radiation from wireless devices. We have invited a scientist that has been doing experiments in this field since the 1980`s.

Magnesium is the no. 1 most commonly found deficiency today
It would be optimal if we could eat enough of all the vitamins and minerals, because food is more recognizable to the body and it is easier to absorb. The sources of magnesium in our food products include whole grains, nuts, sprouts, legumes, cocoa, meat and vegetables. However, what I see when I test, is that many lack it - in 9 out of 10 cases, we see a deficit of magnesium. Magnesium is, together with zinc and silica, among the minerals we commonly find is difficult to obtain an optimal level of through our food because the soil is so depleted and our demands for these minerals have increased due to various stressors in modern life.
Scientific American: "We have no reason to believe 5g is safe"
“Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life.”

NEW TALK (ZOOM WEBINAR DANISH ONLY) 7th of September: Health dangers of EMF and how to navigate
Did you know that the Health Authorities actually recommend reducing our use of mobile phones? Smartphones, wi-fi, etc. have become important components of daily life. Their harmful effects on the body, especially on the nervous system, have gradually become quite well studied. According to a lot of research, unnatural EMF can affect our body's nervous system and cause damage to cells. Cancer and unusual growths can be a symptom of very high EMF exposure. Several studies have reported that exposure to EMF results in oxidative stress in many tissues of the body. Exposure to EMF is known to increase concentrations of free radicals. This results in increased oxidative stress and chronic inflammation as the antioxidant defense system is unable to prevent the damaging effects of free radicals. The World Health Organization initially considered these sources of non-ionizing EMF radiation to be safe because they were only assessed based on their thermal effects - and that, quite correctly, is not harmful to health. However, it turns out that cell damage has not been taken into account in these conclusions. To participate go here: https://tidslerne.nemtilmeld.dk/296/ Please share
Study confirms: limit cell phone exposure during pregnancy
"Many studies have shown that electromagnetic fields can have destructive effects on sex hormones, gonadal function, fetal development, and pregnancy. So people must be aware of the negative effects of EMFs. Although the impact of the waves varied at different frequencies, it is better to stay as far away as possible from their origin because of the risks associated with exposures to these waves. In addition, people can use natural antioxidants to help reduce the effects of these waves."
A review on Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and the reproductive system: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5014506/
In short: stop carrying your phone on your body especially during pregnancy or when wanting to become pregnant as it may affect both your own fertility as well as your offspring’s development (autism is a big worry right now that seems to be linked to excessive EMF exposure).
Keep your phone 3 meters away from your body to limit EMF exposure when not using it, and stop scrolling on it like it is your best friend, cos it is not. We are all wasting our lives scrolling non-stop on these smart phones and all these smart devices are under suspicion for wrecking our health big time.

Early science: How your Smartphone may impact your pregnancy
We already know that men shouldn’t be carrying the phone in their pocket, if they want their guys to work. However, it is not a far fetch to think “huh - how about women? how might our excessive smartgadget use be affecting pregnancy amongst women?”
Well, here you go:
“The findings of this review showed that EMF radiation exposure is associated with hormonal, thermal, and cardiovascular changes among adults. However, the reviewed studies did not consider the impacts of EMF radiation exposure on pregnancy outcomes specifically, which makes it difficult to draw conclusions from this review. Only four of the reviewed studies were conducted among pregnant women. These studies reported that EMF radiation exposure during pregnancy is associated with miscarriages and fluctuations in the fetal temperature and heart rate variability, as well as infant anthropometric measures.”

EMF exposure (from your phone + wifi) linked to bad gut bacteria + antibiotic resistance
Study shows that exposure to EMF slows growth of beneficial bacteria. This results in that pathological organisms can dominate. In the study they used kombucha to compensate for this mechanism, which showed good results. Nevertheless it is extremely worrying that our gut microbiome is impacted by EMF. Approaches to balance intestinal flora for those of us struggling with EHS or other chronic conditions possibly linked to excessive EMF exposure is needed in addition to most importantly minimizing exposure. Another study showed that certain types of pathogenic gut bacteria gained resistance to antibiotics when exposed to EMFs emitted from WiFi and cellular phones. This can become a problem because as these bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, they become more difficult to eradicate from our gut if we have an overgrowth.
Support Professor Olle's groundbreaking work to save the honeybees - and all of us.
The honeybees are dying out - and it's a global disaster for all of us.
They are on the verge of extinction due to overuse of pesticides and research showing that EMF radiation also plays a big role - perhaps the biggest.
One of the best gifts you can give this year is to Swedish professor Olle Johansson's research on this particular area, which affects us all. Professor Olle has done a huge job of proving the many harmful effects of mobile and wifi radiation - and fights daily against the telecommunications industry and the economic stakeholders who do not want his research published.
Professor Olle researches things that are important for nature and our lives without underlying economic interests and therefore his pioneering research is dependent on us all supporting his work - support with whatever you feel like, everything helps: https://honeywire.org/research - and please share the link.

What EMF looks like
Our understanding of EMF is similar to back when we thought bacteria wouldn’t cause harm, cause we couldn’t see them. Today we seem to refuse to learn from history - instead of waiting for something to be proven dangerous, we should wait to see, if it is proven safe and not harmful for humans. Just cause we can’t see something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or doesn’t impact us. In this article they colored what EMF looks like if it were visible to the eye - check it out here.
