I Wasted 10 Years Stuck With Brain Fog Until I Learned This

Have you hit your protein goal today? Well, you might, but it's probably not good protein. And ButcherBox has made it easier to get good protein for your protein goal. They deliver 100% grass-fed beef and organic chicken and wild-caught seafood and a bunch of other good stuff right to your door. They've already done the research and they made the tough sourcing decisions, so you don't have to go to the store and ask questions that the butcher can't answer anyway. That means all you have to do is decide what's for dinner. Every ButcherBox is customizable, so you can choose the cuts and the proteins that fit your routine and just what you like to eat. Busy weeknight or friends coming over, you've already got great protein ready to cook. My days are really busy, so it's easy to just throw one of their grass-fed steaks on the grill after I work out. And if you're looking for an easier way to make great meals, give ButcherBox a try.

Those mold toxins are fat soluble and they settle into your brain, your nerves and the power plants that are inside every one of your cells. And that's why you can kill the mold and scrub your room spotless, but you still wake up exhausted. Today, I'm going to show you how to find these toxic compounds, how to remove them correctly, and clear your bodies already absorbed so you can finally feel like yourself.

This is personal for me because I had brain damage from mold toxins diagnosed when I was 32 years old and I had to learn how to fix it myself, because no one knew.

Now, it's finally getting the attention it deserves. One thing I learned is that most people who feel terrible are doing the same thing. They push their bodies harder. They clean up their diet, they buy better supplements, they maybe start tracking their sleep. Doctors even take a look inside their body with labs, things like blood sugar, thyroid, hormones, and those are the right things to do.

But if the source of the problem sits in the room where you sleep, then every protocol used on your body has to fight the same exposure every single night. So you can clean up your diet and still breathe contaminated air and air in your bedroom is contaminated because of water damage hiding behind the walls. Maybe your roof leaked five years ago and someone painted over the stains. For a lot of people, the HVAC system has mold growing on the coils inside the ducts or in the drain pan.

That actually happened in the house where I am right now as I record this, so I fixed it. And that's the missing variable.

You probably have mold in your house and even in your car, and some mold produces mycotoxins. Not microtoxins, but mycotoxins, which means from the mold.

These are tiny compounds that can enter your body through the air you breathe, the food you eat, and they can even enter through your skin via dust. And some of those mycotoxins are fat-soluble, which means they dissolve into the fat in your body instead of water. And that matters because every cell membrane in your body is made of fat, and so is your brain, and so is your nervous system. And they're all full of fat. So those toxins don't wash out quickly like a water-soluble compound would. It can settle into your tissues that control your energy, your mood, your memory, and your recovery, and it can take a while to get them out. And one of the biggest targets is your mitochondria. Your mitochondria are the tiny power plants inside your cells, but they're also ancient bacteria.

And what's been fighting against bacteria for 2 billion years? Yeah, mold.

So, the things that power us are bacteria, and the thing that kills bacteria is antibiotics, which are just mold toxins. So it's no wonder that there's chaos in your mitochondria if there's mold in your bedroom. And those mitochondria, when they're working, will take food and oxygen and turn it into electricity. That energy runs everything you do. But when those mold toxins interfere with your mitochondrial membrane, your cells can't make enough energy.
