JTG #7 Detoxifying from Toxic Mold w/ Bridgit Danner

In this episode we’re talking about a topic that’s super important to adress; the importance of detoxing from toxic mold with Bridgit Danner.

Bridgit Danner has been a licensed acupuncturist since 2004 and certified Functional Diagnostic practitioner since 2015. She gave over 12,000 treatments in her years working as an acupuncturist & led a staff of 10 at her practice.

Her interest in natural health grew from an interest in protecting the environment. Even as a child, she was donating her allowance to Greenpeace and writing cosmetic companies to ask about their practices!

While busy running an integrative wellness center in Portland, Oregon, she developed an environmental illness due to toxic mold in her home. Already experienced in hormone management and nutrition, she became acutely aware of the powerful impact of the environment on her health.

She and her family lost their house and everything in it to toxic mold, and moved 1,000 miles to the Arizona desert to heal.

Bridgit now educates about toxins and detoxification through her blog, online programs, product shop and Facebook group. She also works with private clients on customized functional medicine protocols for healing.

In this episode, Bridgit talks to Journey To Glow host Caroline Frenette about:

1. The turning point for Bridgit of finding toxic mold in her home

*This is very short summary of the immense potential and power of these magnificent oils.

1. Turmeric: is an amazing anti-inflammatory, boosts glutathione production and as an essential oil is 10x more bioavailable than in herbal form!
2. Grapefruit moves lymph, anti-candida, antibacterial and anti mold. It uplifts the mood and disperses negative thoughts.
3. Lemon detoxifies the body and uplifts the mood
4. Rosemary is a powerful antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory oil. It also addresses metal and adrenal fatigue
5. Zendocrine blend is great to apply under your feet or after the sauna. Supports kidney, skin health and gut
6. Cilantro is an antibacterial and anti-fungal, clears the body of heavy metals and calms anxiety
7. Oregano is quite powerful with antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasite, and anti-viral properties
8. Cinnamon to clear parasites
9. Citrus Bliss to uplift the mood and clear brain fog
10. Digestzen gut and liver detoxifier
11. Yarrow Pom for hydration and is rejuvenating to the skin
12. I use ClaryCalm every month when I have my period, roll on the tummy for a soothing effect, kinda like Advil but better (without the side effect of feeling numb or being a burden for your liver)
