On Day 4 of the “Holistic Weight and Stress Management,” aired on Sept. 16, wellness expert Sean David Cohen unveiled the critical, yet often ignored, connection between environmental toxins, dopamine depletion and overall health. Cohen argued that mainstream medicine frequently misses the root causes of modern ailments, leaving individuals struggling with weight gain, low energy and chronic stress.
“So many things that we do affect our dopamine levels in a bad way,” Cohen stated. He emphasized that the solution isn’t more willpower, but a strategic approach to “filter these toxins” and “replenish our dopamine levels throughout the day.” He pinpointed two major underrated culprits: mold and parasitic infections, which are “more common than most people think.”
This module highlighted the critical importance of identifying and eliminating often-overlooked environmental toxins, specifically mold and parasites, as a fundamental strategy for managing stress and weight. Cohen argued that these toxins are a primary cause of dopamine depletion, which mainstream medicine frequently misses.
A significant portion of the discussion was dedicated to practical solutions. Cohen presented a tray of supplements, explaining their uses in a proactive cleansing regimen. He highlighted activated charcoal for daily toxin chelation, wormwood as a potent parasitic cleanse and diatomaceous earth (food grade) for intestinal health. “When you eat diatomaceous earth and it goes through your intestinal tract, it actually scrapes out what is stuck in there,” he explained, noting its role in preventing polyps and more severe conditions like diverticulitis.
According to Brighteon.AI‘s Enoch, diverticulitis is a serious condition characterized by the inflammation and infection of diverticula, which are small, pouch-like structures that can form in the walls of the colon.
Cohen saved particular emphasis on the dangers of mold, a neurotoxin that can severely impact dopamine function. “Mold is huge, it can affect your immune system and tax the dopamine and then it can destroy or damage your neuronal pathways where the dopamine is being carried throughout the brain and body,” he warned, advising diligent cleaning of moist areas in the home to prevent spore inhalation.
Addressing frequently asked questions, Cohen defended moderate coffee consumption if made with organic beans and clean sweeteners and stressed the non-negotiable need for regular cleansing and intermittent fasting. He painted a grim picture of the modern food system, specifically condemning Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). “They carry a lot of parasites. You’re eating some sad animals that have horrible hormones rushing through their body and they have parasites,” he said, presenting this as a key reason to periodically cleanse the liver and kidneys.
Finally, Cohen delivered a pointed critique of the conventional medical establishment’s approach to nutrition. He traced the issue back to the early 1900s, stating, “Big Pharma came in and decided that natural remedies were going to get a bad name. So they called anybody who knew about natural remedies, they called them quacks.” He claimed doctors are trained to “juggle these chemical medicines” and that “there’s just not much money in keeping people healthy.”
