Is it possible that an amalgam filling (containing mercury) in your mouth is playing a part in your depression? Today’s podcast forms part of the Functional Nutrition Chronic Inflammation Summit, where Dr. Jockers and his team are getting to the root cause of chronic illness.
In conversation with Dr. Christine Schaffner, Dr. Jockers is discussing neural inflammation, glymphatic function, and biotoxin illness.
Dr. Schaffner is a board-certified naturopathic doctor who combines naturopathic and conventional therapies to develop individual treatment plans that focus on the underlying causes of complex chronic illnesses, such as Lyme disease.
Dr. Schaffner is sharing on ‘interference fields’, where neurotoxicity of mercury poisoning from our mouth can be causing neural inflammation. She also provides great insight into the connection between our sinuses and the brain, particularly as it relates to our glymphatic system.
Learn about melatonin supplementation and improved glymphatic function in this powerful episode of Functional Nutrition that addresses the root causes of neural inflammation – and what we can do to prevent it.
There’s also some inspirational wisdom on learning to identify not just with our illness, but rather what our life may look like when we are better. Please join us and please also share this content with someone who you think can benefit from it.
“Brain fog, insomnia, anxiety, depression, fatigue: all of these things really have a root in neural inflammation.“
-Dr. Christine Schaffner
