How to Do Mycotoxin Detox Using Clean Fats?
Brain fog. Fatigue. Weird symptoms that just won’t go away? When mold toxins linger, they can leave you feeling inflamed, foggy, and stuck.
Hi, I’m Dr. Jill Crista, naturopathic doctor, mold expert and author of Break the Mold. And I’m here to show you how to use clean fats to help your body detox from fat-loving mold toxins – using the three Cs.
Ready to lighten the load and support your brain, gut, and energy again?
Let’s do this together.
Why Mycotoxins Love Your Body’s Fats
Mold toxins (mycotoxins) are lipophilic, which means that they’re fat-soluble. Fat-soluble toxins behave differently in the body than water-soluble ones. Here’s why that matters:
- Lipophilic Nature: They settle in fatty areas like your brain, nervous system, gut lining, bone marrow, and every single cell membrane.
- Widespread Impact: Mycotoxins target fatty tissues like bone marrow and cell membranes, causing systemic issues – disrupting your focus, mood, immune function, and energy.
- Detox Challenge: They’re hard to flush out with just water. You need things to mobilize the fat-soluble toxins.
As my environmental medicine mentor, Dr. Walter Crinnion taught me: “The solution to pollution is dilution.” We “dilute” mycotoxins with fat. The right kinds.
The 3 Cs: Copious, Clean, Correct Fats
CCC stands for:
- Copious: Use lots and lots of beneficial fats to outcompete and push out mycotoxins.
- Clean: Choose organic, wild-caught, and toxin-free sources. We don’t want to add to the toxic burden.
- Correct: Use bioavailable forms of fats that your body can absorb and use.
This method helps mycotoxins lose their grip in your body’s fatty tissues. It’s like flooding the body with good fats to push the bad ones out.
How to Detox Mycotoxins with Clean Fats
Ready to get practical? Here’s how to bring the three Cs into your daily life:
- Add Copious Fats: Make healthy fats a daily staple:
- Organic olive oil (cold-pressed)
- Organic walnuts or walnut oil
- Organic avocados and avocado oil
- Wild-caught cold-water fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel)
- Supplement Smartly: Your body needs DHA to restore the very structures mold toxins damage—your brain, nerves, and cellular lining. Supplements like DHA Absorb, in my store, provide a bioavailable form of DHA that your body can actually use.
- Consistency Is Key: Detox doesn’t happen overnight. Use clean fats daily, alongside your other mold recovery tools, to gently but powerfully nudge mycotoxins out of your tissues.
Tips to Boost Your Mycotoxin Detox
To get the most out of this strategy:
- Eat Clean Fats Daily: Aim to include a source of clean fat with every meal. An easy way is to drizzle dishes with olive oil before eating them.
- Supplement with DHA: Support brain and immune recovery with a form of DHA your body can truly use.
- Avoid Re-Exposure: Keep reducing mold exposure in your home, car, and food. Every little bit matters.
- Hydrate: While fats flush fat-soluble toxins, water helps move water-soluble ones. You need both.
In some cases, long-term binder use can deplete your body’s good fats. That’s why restoring essential fats is critical, especially when your body is trying to heal cell membranes and immune barriers.
And remember: If you have absorption issues (which is common in mold-affected people), you need supplements that bypass the damaged pathways, like DHA Absorb which you can find in my store.
