92: The Symptoms You’re Ignoring – The Shocking Truth About Hidden Toxin Illness with Dr. Christian Jenski

What if the symptoms you have been told are normal aging, stress, or anxiety are actually signs of hidden toxin exposure silently disrupting your immune system, hormones, metabolism, and brain? In this powerful discussion, Dr. Aaron Hartman and Dr. Christian Jenski take listeners inside the world of toxin induced illness and Toxic Induced Loss of Tolerance (TILT), explaining why so many patients with chronic fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, autoimmune conditions, and inflammatory disorders are being overlooked or misdiagnosed. They explore how toxins such as heavy metals, mold, chemicals, plastics, and environmental pollutants overload the nervous system and immune system, creating multi system dysfunction that standard lab work can miss. The conversation dives into practical strategies for identifying toxin illness using accessible lab testing, a smart patient history, and foundational lifestyle evaluation. They also break down simple but powerful detox tools including sweating, sauna, coffee enemas, lymphatic support, antioxidant therapy, and targeted supplements used to improve liver, gut, and immune function. This episode is a roadmap for anyone who suspects toxicity may be at the root of persistent symptoms and is ready to take thoughtful, science based steps toward recovery.
