As more and more chemicals find their way into our food and water supplies, body care products, and everyday use items – it’s becoming harder to live a toxin-free life. But what about babies in the womb who can’t read a label or make sure they’re eating clean food? It becomes the mother’s burden to make sure everything she uses, from body care to cleaning supplies, and all the food she eats, is clean and toxin-free – which is quite an undertaking!
The latest studies from the Environmental Working Group show the average baby is now born with more than 200 toxins in their body! Several similar studies were conducted by the EWG over the past two decades, all showing very similar results – babies born today typically have a very high toxin load.
At Modern Holistic Health, we recently started working with a one-year-old client. Her mother came to us when she couldn’t find help to figure out her baby’s issues. Although the baby girl was happy and seemed to be healthy, every time she tried to introduce solid food into the baby’s diet, the baby would have blood in the stool. This can be very alarming for an adult to experience, much less have your one-year-old exhibiting these symptoms. So the baby’s diet consisted only of breastmilk.
After our initial visit with the girl’s mother, we ordered a whole host of labs and what we found was surprising. As you can see on the lab results below, not only did the baby have very high amounts of toxic mold in her body, but she also had multiple heavy metals and chemical toxins. The family admitted that they recently found mold in their home and were working to have that remediated, but where did the other harsh chemicals and toxins come from?
Both BPA and glyphosate are incredibly common toxins in our world today. BPA is one of the ingredients used in plastics, but can also be found in body care products, canned goods, and even some water supplies around the world. Glyphosate is the most commonly used pesticide in the United States, and although it is banned in many countries, it still finds its way into people’s bodies all over the world. BPA is most commonly known as an endocrine disruptor and causes major hormone imbalances, but can also contribute to a host of other symptoms and diseases. Glyphosate is a big disruptor of the gut and microbiome and is also linked to celiac disease and even cancer. For our young patient, glyphosate, along with the toxic mold, was likely one of the major root causes of her gut issues.
What’s interesting about this case is that even though the baby was eating little to no solid food, and mostly consuming breast milk, her Wheat Zoomer test showed she was already showing elevated antibodies to wheat and gluten, which we could potentially also connect to the glyphosate exposure.
Cesium was one of the heavy metals that came back on the young child’s lab results as being extremely high. Cesium is a radioactive element and is a byproduct of nuclear explosions, although it is also found in the soil and can be in drinking water. This family lives in the Middle East and was not far from the Beirut bombing in 2020, so they believe the cesium exposure is likely from that, and could be affecting the whole family. Interestingly, this event happened two years before the baby’s birth – so did the toxins get passed in utero from mother to child, or was there ongoing exposure after the fact? While we don’t know for sure – either of those scenarios is possible. Cesium exposure can cause severe symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding, heart palpitations, and fatigue – so we also believe this was a clear link to the baby’s gut-related symptoms.
Finally, a Gut Zoomer test for the child also showed a bacterial gut infection, which could contribute to elevated food sensitivities and her challenges in introducing solid foods into the diet.
After all this data was collected, we knew the baby would ultimately need to detox. The beautiful thing about our detox protocols at MHH is that they can be customized for anyone at any age – even a one-year-old. We started this baby on some gut support, probiotics, and detox support, and the mother now reports that she is no longer seeing blood in the child’s stools when she tries new foods – which is a huge win! There will be several more months of detox and gut healing ahead for this child, but we are confident that she can completely heal from her symptoms and have a healthy life.

Not feeling well and looking for help with your condition, diagnosis, or symptoms that won’t go away no matter what you have tried? Our holistic biological health coaches can help you! Our coaches teach you how your body works, what the underlying cause of your condition or symptoms are, and how to fix and address them using long-term solutions that are data-driven and that work!
Our holistic biological health coaches have a deep understanding of advanced functional testing and genetics testing, along with much experience in complex cases.
Our biological coaching team works with you to empower and teach you how to understand and interpret your lab results, what your results mean, how they are connected to your health conditions or symptoms, and most importantly, what to do with the information, how to put protocols together based on your lab results, and when to reorder your various labs to track progress.
You will become your own healing master learning how to navigate the healing process, how to modify your protocols, when and how to detoxify your organs and cells from the toxins discovered on your lab results. You will learn the importance of tracking your assessment forms and symptom sheets and how to troubleshoot your healing process.
In addition, you have the opportunity to learn how to understand YOUR genetic blueprint – Our coaches are trained in the field of epigenetics and understand implicitly that YOU are in control of your own gene expression and how your genes either work for or against you. If you choose to add genetic testing into your program, your genetic blueprint information can be used not only to help drive your plan of action for healing, but also it can be used to understand your body’s unique nutrition, lifestyle, sleeping, eating, and physical activity needs are so that you can optimize once you are healed.
Get help from our functional nutrition coaches who understand that there is no ONE diet that is right for everyone. Our nutrition coaches work hand in hand with our biological coaches so if you need any lab work done or specific protocols that would require supplement protocols, you have a team working on your behalf and your nutrition coach would make recommendations for which other team coaches would be able to help you.
Your coaches will teach and empower you to learn how to determine and navigate your diet modifications which are decided based on your extensive intake forms, history, and your lab data that your coaches may want to order for you. Based on all of this information, they will teach you what foods to eat and not eat according to various conditions and why.
Your functional nutrition coach will help you learn what substitutes you can use when there are certain foods you may need to stop eating for a period of time, how to put your meals together based on your dietary needs per your lab data, how and when to incorporate gut repair protocols, and what lifestyle modifications you want to address based on your labs and your health conditions.
Nutritional coaching can be a great tool by itself or combined with coaching from our biological coaches. You can schedule with either our biological or nutrition coaches and they can help you get started and make recommendations as needed.
Many people who have successfully mentored with our nutrition coaches have had past issues such as:
Mindset, past and present traumas, and limiting belief systems are some of the biggest barriers to healing, so much in fact that gene expression and biological ‘engines’ of the human body can change for the worse because of it.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of an impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
The rate of recovery and healing for those who place emphasis on creating new neurological pathways to imprint new and healthy mindsets and belief systems in how they perceive themselves and the world around them is greatly improved when the psychological aspect of mindset and integration of mind, body, the spirit is addressed through repatterning of the mind and body neurology.
By removing barriers discovered from traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
Therefore we incorporate mind, body, spirit integration work into our programs and in doing so, we see exponential increases in positive outcomes with our clients. We have put together the most comprehensive ‘whole person’ approach in the world, and this is why our results are so successful.
Our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches work with you to create new neurological connections, anchor new neurology, and habits, and show you how to become aware of any conscious or unconscious belief systems that may be holding you back from healing and total health.
You are welcome to try one or two appointments to see what you think. We typically recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to make an accurate assessment of how this type of modality is working for you.
Here are some of the modalities our Emotional Processing, Stress Release, & Neurological Repatterning coaches use for brain and body repatterning:
Breathwork is more than just a simple exercise of intentional breathing. Specialized breathwork techniques are used to facilitate major transformation and healing by encompassing a wide range of therapeutic practices that are extremely powerful in providing immediate relief for pulling people out of fight or flight (the amygdala hijack we teach about in Part 2 of our Mastering Trauma Masterclass).
This vagus nerve activation through breath work activates the rest/digest (parasympathetic nervous system), stimulates healing, reduces blood pressure, reduces the cortisol stress response, regulates hormone and blood glucose activity, and heart rate variability (the biological stress response). It rewires the body for self-regulation of the nervous system in a manner that optimizes the body and creates resilience in times of stress.
Yoga breath therapy allows you to disconnect from the mind chatter, mind racing, and negative self-talk and reconnect with your body your energy. From this elevated state of awareness, you are able to facilitate healing, growth, and expansion. And if you are looking for some expansion of your body/mind/spirit awareness, then this type of breathwork can be nourishing and can facilitate the next layer of peace, love, gratitude, connection, clarity, and insights.
In the many years, we have been working in the field of holistic medicine, helping people who have tried everything else with no success or little success, we have discovered how great of a damaging impact our thoughts, beliefs, and past and present trauma, and chronic stress (the fight or flight response) can be to the human body, mind, and spirit.
By becoming aware of how to regulate our own nervous system, and resolve traumas, mindset, and conscious/unconscious patterns that are not congruent for healing, health, and vitality, you set yourself up for the best outcomes in your healing journey. Healing only occurs when the physical, emotional, and mental barriers to healing are removed.
