Introduction
In this enlightening episode of The Bobby Bones Show, host Morgan Kman welcomes Christy Nault, a seasoned root cause practitioner and CEO of Microflow. The conversation delves deep into understanding how the body stores trauma, the impact of chronic conditions, and holistic approaches to healing. Christy shares her personal journey, professional insights, and actionable advice for listeners seeking comprehensive health transformations.
Christy's Personal Journey
[01:47] Christy Nault: Christy begins by sharing her profound personal story, which serves as the foundation for her passion in holistic healing. At the tender age of seven, her older brother, once vibrant and athletic, suffered a severe vaccine injury that led to debilitating epilepsy. Over the years, he endured numerous brain surgeries and medications, creating a chaotic and fearful environment for the family.
[03:05] Christy Nault: "Western medicine is incredible for emergency care... but when it comes to chronic conditions, they are lifestyle-based. Our quote unquote solutions in western medicine just create a lot more issues."
The traumatic experience of her brother's declining health and eventual passing in 2015 propelled Christy into the world of holistic healing. Struggling with her own chronic illnesses—including endometriosis, chronic Lyme disease, and autoimmunity—she found that traditional medical approaches fell short, prompting her to explore multi-dimensional healing techniques that address the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health.
Path to Healing: A Multi-Dimensional Approach
[10:11] Christy Nault: Christy emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to healing. Having worked as a personal trainer and health coach, she was well-versed in physical health but sought a deeper understanding of emotional and spiritual wellness. The passing of her brother was a catalyst for a massive spiritual awakening, leading her to realize the extent of her nervous system's dysregulation.
[12:35] Christy Nault: "The body keeps the score. Our issues are stored in our tissues."
Christy's methodology integrates physical health with emotional healing, asserting that unresolved trauma significantly impacts chronic conditions. She advocates for addressing the subconscious emotional wounds that contribute to physical ailments, believing firmly that "healing is always available to us" when we tackle the root causes of our imbalances.
Understanding Trauma’s Impact on the Body
[13:08] Christy Nault: Delving deeper, Christy discusses the pervasive mental health crisis, highlighting that biological and psychological aspects are inherently interconnected. She challenges the compartmentalized approach of conventional medicine, where individuals see different specialists for separate issues without a unified strategy.
[16:30] Christy Nault: "Emotion is sensation in the body, and we need to feel it and learn it. When we do that, we can alchemize it and transmute it and liberate it and release it."
Christy underscores that unprocessed emotions reside within the body’s tissues, leading to chronic health problems. She advocates for somatic approaches that engage with the body’s sensations to release stored trauma, moving beyond traditional talk therapy to achieve holistic healing.
Optimizing Circadian Rhythm for Better Health
[24:56] Christy Nault: Shifting to practical advice, Christy introduces listeners to the concept of circadian rhythm optimization. She explains how modern lifestyles disrupt our natural light exposure, leading to hormonal imbalances and poor sleep quality.
[26:08] Christy Nault: "Our cells need to know what time it is to do the jobs they were designed to do. If our body doesn't know what time it is, it's going to feel like chaos."
Christy recommends simple yet effective strategies:
- Morning Sunlight Exposure: Spend at least five minutes outdoors without sunglasses to help regulate the body’s internal clock.
- Blue Light Reduction at Night: Use blue-blocking glasses or switch to red light bulbs in the evening to promote melatonin production and improve sleep hygiene.
These adjustments not only enhance physical health but also support mental well-being by aligning the body’s biological processes with natural light cycles.
Parasites and Detoxification: Clearing the Body’s Pathways
[30:31] Morgan Kman: Morgan expresses her growing awareness of toxins and parasites in the body, seeking Christy’s expertise on the subject.
[31:07] Christy Nault: "If you have a pulse, you have parasites. Every single person listening to this has parasites."
Christy elaborates on the ubiquitous presence of parasites and their role in chronic illnesses. She explains that modern environmental toxins—from contaminated food and water to household products—create hospitable environments for parasitic overgrowth.
[36:41] Christy Nault: "Parasites are attracted to toxic tissues. We've just become a toxic soup."
Her comprehensive detox methodology involves:
- Foundation Building: Ensuring adequate nutrition and hydration to support the body’s detoxification processes.
- Nervous System Regulation: Establishing a calm and resilient nervous system to handle emotional and physical detox.
- Multi-Dimensional Detoxification: Cleansing physical parasites while addressing the emotional and energetic imprints they hold.
Christy stresses that detoxifying the body is not just about eliminating parasites but also about creating an environment where the body can sustain its health naturally.
Integrating Holistic and Conventional Medicine
[39:12] Christy Nault: Addressing skepticism, Christy emphasizes the scientific basis of her holistic practices. She encourages listeners to research the history of medicine and understand how systemic profit motives have historically sidelined holistic approaches.
[43:15] Morgan Kman: Morgan reflects on her internal struggle to integrate holistic methods with conventional wisdom, highlighting the societal tendency to dismiss non-traditional healing as “woo.”
[44:35] Morgan Kman: "If you think about it, at the end of the year, 1% daily shifts adds up to a 365% massive shift. These micro shifts do make a big difference."
Both Morgan and Christy advocate for an integrative approach that respects the strengths of conventional medicine while embracing holistic practices to achieve comprehensive health.
Practical Steps for Holistic Healing
[24:56] Christy Nault: Christy outlines her “Order of Operations” for root cause healing, emphasizing the need to build a strong foundation before diving into intensive detox or trauma work.
Key steps include:
- Nutrition: Ensuring adequate caloric intake and nutrient density to fuel the body’s healing processes.
- Mineralization: Remineralizing the body by adding essential minerals to water and diet.
- Circadian Optimization: Adjusting light exposure to regulate internal clocks and hormonal balance.
- Parasite Cleansing: Gradual detoxification to eliminate parasitic overgrowth without overwhelming the nervous system.
[44:35] Christy Nault: "Don't get overwhelmed if some of this information is new. Get outside and get sun. Start swapping one product at a time."
Christy advocates for incremental changes, reinforcing the idea that small, consistent steps lead to significant health improvements over time.
Conclusion: Embracing the Journey to Holistic Health
The episode concludes with a heartfelt reflection from Morgan, who shares her own health struggles and the challenges of adopting a holistic lifestyle in a toxin-laden world. She commends Christy for her dedication and encourages listeners to embrace the gradual process of healing.
[46:16] Christy Nault: "Our health is the foundation for everything else we came here to experience."
[46:27] Morgan Kman: "Once we know better, we do better."
The conversation leaves listeners with an empowering message: health is a dynamic and ongoing journey that requires patience, education, and a willingness to explore beyond conventional boundaries.
