I met a kindred spirit! A Canadian fellow Quantum Nutritionist passionate about so many things I prioritize in health especially the powerful synergy between circadian biology and mitochondrial medicine.  We had the honour of interviewing Justine Stenger, a highly credentialed Functional Nutritionist that specializes in cell membrane medicine.  She is truly a Rock Star Nutritionist in my view. 

The Skinny on Fats

This episode is so rich.  Justine distills so much in this one episode, you will want to take notes on this one. She understands how to use fats & phospholipids to heal cell and mitochondrial membranes.  She explains how to use fats for cellular nutrition, detoxification and helping the Cell Danger response like no other specialist I know.  She has worked with really challenging chronic and complex illness patients over the years and her learned experience just shines through with how to recover health.   

Half Truths Lead to a Full Lie

We learned a new term called “salugenesis” – the healing inputs required to get out of Cell Danger Response and help us restore the health cycle.   She also corrects some half truths about detoxification, the carnivore diet, Linoleic Acid (LA), and Avocado oil.  She explained the real role of LA in the body and taught us not to fear Linoleic Acid, in fact its essential for our membranes, liver, immune cells especially. What we should be fearing is the industrial seed oils (oxidized fats) but not the unoxidized LA sources like seeds, nuts and certain oils.  She also explained the correlation of low levels of LA and Cancer.    

Non-Native EMFs

You really need to hear her rant on nnEMFs.  At one point she called them “the most volatile toxin stealing our electrons…directly damaging our membrane potential”.   I cannot tell you how refreshing it was for me to hear this message from another nutritionist.

Detoxification

Justine explained that “Your detox potential is a direct correlation to your redox potential.”  She also explained how stopping electron depletion is necessary before even thinking about starting a detox protocol.  She also shares her top tool for detoxification  – BodyBio’s PC and Balance Oil.   This interview inspired me to become an affiliate practitioner with Body Bio.  I can now offer my clients a 20% ongoing discount.  If this is of interest, you will need to book an appointment with me first.

You do not want to miss this episode – Justine will inspire you to take control of your health at the deepest level which she terms the Cellular Cure.
