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.

ARTICLE feature: Women’s Health - 7 Essential Supplements to Keep You Healthy
“As a woman, you have unique nutritional needs when compared to men. And in a perfect world, you’d meet all those requirements through a balanced diet. But in reality, eating healthy isn’t enough.
“A key thing I see a lot of women struggling with is being undernourished–in large part, due to depleted soil which results in our fruit and veggies only containing a fraction of nutrients compared to what they did 50 years ago,” says Christina Santini, clinical nutritionist and owner of The Nutrition Clinic in Los Angeles, CA. “This is easily a recipe for disaster because both our overall health and hormones along with our appetite control center is tightly regulated by how nutrient dense our diet is.”
So even if you eat a wholesome, balanced diet, proper supplementation is key–especially during the winter. Here are the best women’s supplements to keep you healthy and vital all season long–and for years to come.”

Mold - when your home is making you sick! NEW TALK (Zoom webinar - Danish only) 13th of April
Christina Santini has been the first therapist in Europe to treat mold exposure since 2013. Did you know that 25% af astma is linked to mold exposure? How about we treated the cause instead of the symptom! It is important to get a handle on our basic needs for healthy air and clean water before we embark on more advanced dietary trends - especially since diet does not help much if our water and air are highly polluted. Gain insight into whether this is a problem for you and possibly related to your symptoms and get help to find out how it can be best managed.

What to do about PFAS?
PFAS is a component of non-stick cookware made with Teflon, microwave popcorn, and is found in a variety of medications: anesthetics, nerve agents, antibiotics, antidepressants, antifungals, antihistamines, cholesterol-lowering medications, anti-malarials, chemotherapy, arthritis medications, psychotropics, and steroids. Of course, you should not stop taking vital medication for that reason, but it is important to know about the possible side effects. Possibly the most overlooked source in our immediate environment is our drinking and shower water.

Study finds: How long-term use of Botox actually accelerates skin aging
A 2016 study published in PLoS One found that Botox leads to loss in tissue density and bone volume, among other side effects. In short: Botox is not harmless and seems to accelerate skin aging (thin skin) when used long-term due to its muscle weakening effect.

If you are struggling to get off antidepressants you are not alone.
I highly recommend reading the work of Dr. James Greenblatt (MD) and getting his latest book specifically on how to get off antidepressants: read more about it here.
I do love Christmas time: the crackling of a fireplace, drinking hot cocoa with whipped cream and playing in the snow. However, I also see that this time comes with a lot of added expectations and feelings of loneliness for many. A recipe for pain for quite a few around this time a year, which is evident when taking the train and experiencing the delays that happen due to suicide. It is heartbreaking that someone can feel so lonely and that none of us have been able to help make that person feel better.
Life is sometimes very hard, yet it is crucial that we remember that everthing in life ebbs and flows - that nothing indeed is constant but change. Every feeling is only temporary. And if we are stuck in something too long, then we need to act our way out of it, so we can feel different and get unstuck. Implement habits and action steps that we might imagine we can enjoy in a future version of ourselves, even if it feels forced upon right now. Our ability to be happy and resilient in this life is directly tied to how we adapt to change - how flexible we are, so we do not get stuck.

You are only as healthy as the home you are living in! Hint: Are you sick and moldy?
I’ve been treating mold illness as one of the first practitioners in Europe since 2012. To this day it still surprises me how deeply unhealthy homes many of us live in, yet we are hyper focused on our eating habits. However, it doesn’t matter however healthy you eat, if you are literally inhaling toxins with every breath you take.
We need to master the basics of clean air, pure water supply and solid sleep in order to expect any miracles happening our way. These are basics we cannot eat our way out of nor exercise our way out of.
Some of us need to relax and eat a slice of cake and focus on what is really making us sick - which may have nothing to do with what we eat (or don’t eat).
This is why it is a good idea to get checked out, so we are not stuck guessing what is wrong with us and trying every new diet fad under the sun to no avail.
I wrote an article about how our moldy homes are making us unwell - read it here (in Danish only): https://lns.dk/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/W2-22_LNS_NATUR-HELSE_2022_Maj.pdf (page 18 and on)

Your signature here to STOP 5G (stay connected but protected)
“Exposure from man-made EMF coming from our smartphones, wifi, cell towers and more has serious biological health effects. So far our limit values are established only on the basis of temperature rise, not on biological effects such as damage of internal organs or even of DNA and other damages according to studies from 2019 and 2020.
Scientific studies confirm that adverse health and biological effects, not only those related to temperature, can occur at intensities of a million times lower than current public exposure limits.
RF EMF is a burden and a stress factor for the body:
The report commissioned by the WHO International EMF Project (pg. 2 para 4) confirms that RF EMF affects organs, which include brain and reproductive organs and can lead to impaired cognitive functions and decreasing fertility.
Non-thermal health impacts of oxidative stress from Wi-Fi are confirmed in 23 controlled scientific studies.
Mobile phone radiation prevents repair mechanism of DNA damage [1]. It harms female fertility [2] and male fertility [3, 4], influences sperm quality [5, 6, 7, 8 ] and fetal development [9, 10, 11]. With 5G technology and millimetre waves the adverse health effects will be more significant.”

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.

Why I use grapefruit seed extract oil in nose oil for my clients
A majority of clients show decreased drainage of the sinuses when they come in for a thermography scan. Not only does poor nose breathing affect brain functioning, it also impairs fat metabolism and can even negatively affect our facial features!
Many of us women will spend endless amounts of money on vanity stuff like fillers, botox, face lifting, serums and all sorts of stuff that promise to keep us young, yet the secrets to growing older gracefully and looking youthful is a reflection of our inner health. Something to many of us simply scoff at til we are desperately sick. Rarely, do we link our health to our skin elasticity, cellulite and darkness under our eyes - yet we should, because when we show signs of premature aging and early onset of graying hair this is a reflection of biochemical imbalances and nutrient deficiencies. Things that in the long run cannot simply be fixed with hair color in a bottle or a magical serum or filler.
Nose breathing (or rather lack thereof) being a prime example of something few os uf think would affect both our waistline and facial features. Yet it does.
I’ve been custom-blending nose oil mixtures for all my clients showing impaired nasal breathing containing custom blends of essential oil with grapefruit seed extract in order to combat biofilm, mold spores and research has shown that it also is helpful against viral issues incl. covid. And this makes sense since the primary rout of exposure is through our respiratory organs. Click on to read the study.
Read MoreMigraines are a risk-indicator for cardiovascular health issues!
A painkiller is not addressing the underlying issue of what is wrong in our body. Serious headaches like migraines are not “just a headache” but a symptom that should be taken seriously in our investigation to figure out why our body is in pain. And did you know that migraines are actually linked to higher incidence of cardiovascular health issues? Making it even more relevant for us to take action and understand the cause of our migraine episodes! For most of us, the cause of a migraine episode is a combination of several triggers - all affecting arterial stiffness and causing those almost suicidal painful episodes of headaches followed with nausea, throwing up and light sensitivity. During my time dealing with clients, who have sometimes suffered with almost daily episodes of migraines, I’ve found following factors to be the most likely imbalances that needs tested and addressed, if we are to reverse head ache symptoms instead of masking them:

Environmental toxins linked to Parkinson's (more than genes)
There has been more and more research supporting the notion that Parkinson’s is not just malfunctioning genes, but rather exposure to heavy load of environmental toxins. Detox is essential for the body to rid itself of environmental toxins and prevent genetic determination from becoming genetic destiny. However, cellular detox needs to be done before permanent DNA damage has occurred (stage 4 Parkinson’s) - early detection is of utmost important if we want to avoid disease becoming a chronic factor in our life later on.
