The System Had No Answers. So I Found Them Myself.

I spent years dealing with chronic digestive issues, multiple infections, and a medical system that kept telling me my results were normal. I went through every diet, every naturopath, every test available — and nothing resolved it. Eventually I decided I would be the one to figure it out. I built Low-Tox Frenchy out of everything I learned along the way.

The Starting Point

Normal Labs. Still Not Well.

My digestive issues started in childhood and got significantly worse as I got older. Chronic abdominal pain, constipation, sensitivity to most foods — that was my normal for years. I went from a standard diet to pescatarian to vegetarian to vegan. Energy improved early on, but the gut issues got worse. Then keto for almost a year. Then carnivore. Nothing fully resolved it.

Between 2014 and 2019, infections kept layering on top of the baseline gut dysfunction — mold exposure, yeast overgrowth, Mono and EBV, parasites, iron overload I found through DIY genetic testing. I saw doctors and naturopaths and ran every test I could find. Results kept coming back normal. Nobody had answers.

In 2019 I had a serious arm infection on my left arm — open wounds spreading, antibiotics that made me so sick I had to stop taking them. That was the turning point. I discovered systemic enzymes, targeted probiotics, and colon cleansing protocols. The infection cleared in two weeks. Red light therapy healed the scars completely. And I started going much deeper into the research.

The Training

Building the Framework to Understand It

After years of getting nowhere with conventional and alternative medicine, I decided I would figure this out myself. I got certified as an Integrative Health Practitioner at levels 1 and 2, then added certifications in epigenetics and immune-centric coaching.

I ran a Urinary Organic Acids Test and finally had answers. Overgrowth of yeast, Candida, fungal bacteria, and Clostridia — the full picture of what had been driving my symptoms for years. From there I was able to build targeted protocols that resolved what nothing else had touched. The clinical work — the OAT test, the IHP protocols — is what resolved the gut issues.

The epigenetics training added another dimension: environment shapes gene expression. What you breathe, sleep on, drink, and absorb through your skin is a constant biological signal. Addressing the environmental layer ran alongside the clinical work — not instead of it. Both matter. You cannot recover in the same environment that made you sick. But the environment alone is not enough either: the biology has to be addressed directly.

01

Childhood — Hospitalizations & Chronic Symptoms

Severe allergic reactions as a child required repeated hospitalizations and IV antibiotics. Chronic digestive issues began early and worsened through adolescence and into adulthood.

02

Years of Diets & Failed Approaches

Tried every dietary approach — pescatarian, vegan, keto, carnivore. Saw doctors, naturopaths, ran DIY genetic testing and at-home stool tests. Results came back normal. Nothing resolved the underlying issues.

03

2019 — Arm Infection as the Turning Point

A spreading arm infection, antibiotics that made him sicker, and the decision to stop and find another way. Systemic enzymes, targeted probiotics, and colon cleansing cleared the infection. Red light therapy healed the scars.

04

OAT Test: Finally, Real Answers

Certified as an IHP and ran a Urinary Organic Acids Test. Discovered overgrowth of yeast, Candida, fungal bacteria, and Clostridia. Built targeted protocols. Resolved what years of conventional approaches had missed.

05

The Move-In Series and Low-Tox Frenchy

Moving into a new home, JF decided to document every low-tox decision publicly, in real time, with the research and certifications shown. That became Le Projet Low-Tox, now part of Low-Tox Frenchy.

The Pivot

When I Finally Had Answers, I Started Helping Others Find Theirs.

Resolving my own health was not the end of the process — it was the beginning of understanding how many people are in the same position. Failing with the system. Getting normal results. Not getting better.

Low-Tox Frenchy is the documentation of everything I learned: the clinical piece through blood chemistry and epigenetics, and the environmental piece through certification research and brand vetting. They belong together. This is where both of them live.

What I Believe

Three Things I Know to Be True

Certifications Over Claims

Marketing language means nothing without third-party verification. GOTS, GOLS, MADE SAFE, OEKO-TEX, and GREENGUARD Gold have independent standards behind them. I explain exactly what each certification covers — and what it does not — so you can make an informed decision, not a greenwashed one.

Environment Shapes Biology

Epigenetics makes it clear: gene expression is not fixed, and your environment is a constant biological signal. What you breathe, sleep on, drink, and absorb through your skin shapes which genes are expressed. The home environment is one of the most under-addressed variables in chronic health.

Systematic Over Perfect

The goal is not a zero-exposure life — that does not exist. The goal is to systematically reduce total toxic burden so your body can direct resources toward healing instead of constant damage control. Progress over purity, always.
