Episode Description from the Publisher

What if the root cause of your chronic illness isn’t just bad genes but the toxins stored in your body from everyday sources like food, water, and even dental work? In this episode, I’m joined by Thomas Aksnes, an expert in holistic health and detoxification. Thomas shares his fascinating journey from dealing with chronic health issues to becoming an advocate for effective detox strategies. We dive into how environmental toxins, poor diet, and even dental health can contribute to systemic inflammation, affecting everything from brain function to gut health. Thomas explains the dangers of root canals, the limitations of conventional medical practices, and how toxins build up in the body. He shares how detoxing with practices like infrared saunas, footbaths, and mindful eating can help release these stored toxins and improve overall well-being. He also talks about the importance of food quality and why GMO foods, glyphosate, and pesticides play such a harmful role in our health today. This conversation is about taking responsibility for your health, healing naturally, and reconnecting with your body to achieve optimal wellness. If you’ve been feeling stuck in your health journey or want to take more proactive steps to detoxify your body, this episode is filled with valuable insights to get you started. “When there are no good solutions out there, then that means we have to create solutions." ~ Thomas Aksnes In This Episode:  00:00 - Introduction 02:22 - Thomas’ journey to holistic health 04:37 - How toxicity interferes with self-healing  14:20 - How even non-toxic food can produce toxic elements 25:01 - Sourdough made from ancient grains as a digestive aid 27:09 - Why mycotoxin testing is crucial in evaluating body toxicity 28:36 - You can't always blame genetics for your health issues 36:45 - Other factors that negatively affect your health 54:31 - How footbaths can support toxin removal 56:47 - Infrared saunas and their role in detox 1:00:16 - The harmful effect of accumulated toxins in your tissues 1:02:43 - The dangers of root canals and toxic dental procedures 1:17:03 - How to implement effective detox strategies in your daily life Testing & Tools Mentioned: - DMSA Challenge Test - A specific methodology for testing for heavy metal accumulation in body tissues - Cone Beam CT (CBCT) Scan - A high-resolution, low-radiation imaging technology used to assess for dental issues like cavitations or problematic root canals - HD Thermography - An imaging tool used to detect heat imprints that may indicate infections in the jaw - Spectroscopy Analysis - Another methodology used for assessing toxins Resources: - TrueCarbonCleanse™ Organic Activated Charcoal Capsules with Clinoptilolite Zeolite Binder - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CG2PQK73?linkCode=spc&tag=warenphillips-20&domainId=influencer&asc_contentid=amzn1.ideas.19AIJZ5GGS8L2 Connect with Thomas Aksnes: - Website - https://www.healthoptimizing.com/ - Malibu Clinic - https://www.healthoptimizingmalibu.com/ Connect with Warren Phillips: - Website - https://www.nontoxicdad.com/  - Instagram -  https://www.instagram.com/nontoxicdad/  - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@nontoxicdad - TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nontoxicdad
