HGTV Star Says She Has Mercury, Lead Poisoning From Renovating ‘Gross’ Houses

HGTV host Christina Haack revealed that she’s suffering from some medical issues that she says likely stem from renovating older “gross” houses in her past. 

The “Christina on the Coast” star shared this week that her medical test results provided answers after having “some unexplained health stuff for years,” per Page Six. “My scan said I have mercury and lead poisoning,” Haack shared to her Instagram Story. “Most likely from all the gross houses I’ve been in (all the bad flips).”

She also revealed she had “small intestine bacteria overgrowth.”

“So we are first detoxing all of this through herbs and IVs and then [we’ll] see how I feel and tackle implants,” the 39-year-old mom of three continued. 

Haack, who became a household name on the series “Flip or Flop” alongside ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, had previously told followers she was experiencing multiple issues that she was looking into with the help of her doctor. She speculated that her breast implants could be to blame.

“Been super exhausted lately so [I’m] on a kick to get back into my body. I’ve had some unexplained health stuff for years, and now I’m considering the thought that this could be breast implant related,” she shared in an Instagram post. 

Haack told followers she was having her eye fillers dissolved due to inflammation. Next, she listed her many troubling symptoms, including “inflammation, autoimmune issues (Hashimoto’s disease, PCOS, Raynaud’s syndrome), unexplained skin rashes, joint and muscle pain, dry eyes, GI issues, SIBO, acid reflux, brain fog, hormone imbalances, swollen lymph nodes and adrenal fatigue.”

Haack and El Moussa divorced in 2018 after nine years of marriage. They share two children, Taylor and Brayden. Haack married British TV star Ant Anstead in 2018 and the pair had a son, Hudson. Then they announced their separation in 2020. Haack married realtor Joshua Hall earlier this year.

The custody battle over Hudson turned ugly as Anstead accused his ex of exploiting the child for fame. “The risks for a child working on a television production set (even if that ‘set’ is Christina’s home) are innumerable and well documented,” court documents said, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

The documents further stated that children who got famous too young were at a higher risk of suicide. As of early December, the former couple came to a mutually agreeable custody agreement and won’t be going to trial in March as originally planned.
