After facing multiple health challenges in recent years, longtime HGTV star Christina Haack is celebrating her latest lab results.
“Today I found out my bloodwork is the best it’s ever been,” Haack wrote in an update via her Instagram Stories on June 9, 2025, noting that she started seeing a “regenerative health practitioner” in 2018.
Haack continued with her update, written in white text on a black background, “All my inflammation & autoimmune numbers are great. This just shows how much stress can truly negatively affect your health. 🙏❤️😥”
Christina Haack Underwent ‘Extensive’ Testing in 2023 for Health Challenges
GettyHaack’s results are a huge relief after several years of nerve-wracking health challenges and the stress of her third marriage ending in July 2024.
In early 2023, the “Christina on the Coast” star shared that she underwent “extensive” testing to try to figure out why she’d been feeling so under the weather.
She shared in her Instagram Stories that January, “I did an expensive, super extensive panel and I got all my results back for, like, 100 different types of molds and metals and bacterias. And my highest level of toxicity came back as an abnormal amount of gut bacteria, which is like SIBO, and also parasites.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, which is the result of “an abnormal increase in the overall bacterial population in the small intestine — particularly types of bacteria not commonly found in that part of the digestive tract.”
Haack shared a page of her test results at the time, which were ordered by her doctor at Lee Regenerative Medical Institute, an alternative medicine practice in Huntington Beach, California. Rather than opt for traditional remedies, such as antibiotics or surgery, the HGTV star took a holistic route, including a “detox” regimen.
“So I’m on a cleanse and a parasite cleanse and I heard it gets worse before it gets better,” she said in a video she posted to her Stories. “It’s pretty brutal, but I’m hoping at the end, I feel good.”
Haack told People in 2020 that she’d been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disorder that can cause hypothyroidism, and that paying close attention to her nutrition had helped some. But in 2021, she shared on Instagram that her “extreme stomach pain” had continued.
“It has been written off as stress and doctors have tried to put me on all the pills / meds but luckily I realized masking it wasn’t the answer,” she wrote at the time. “I wanted to fix the problem so I really focused on my nutrition and it seemed to get better but then last year it was triggered again and all of a sudden the stomach pain was back.”
Christina Haack Also Dealt With a Lingering Oral Infection in 2024
HGTVHaack’s health challenges continued into the next year. In April 2024, Haack shared that she’d made a “pretty disturbing” discovery about a root canal she’d had several years earlier, revealing in her Instagram Stories that she was going to have oral surgery for a lingering infection.
“When I was 16, I had a tooth injury to a back molar and had to have an emergency root canal,” Haack wrote in her Stories. “In 2020, my dentist saw via xray the previous root canal showed signs of being infected. So I went and had it redone.”
“Fast forward to last week,” she continued. “The infection came back…so I’ve had an infection that I have zero symptoms of lingering for years and years!! Pretty disturbing.”
“I’m taking care of it next week via explant,” Haack told her fans, “but leaving an infection that long can cause all kinds of health complications. With no root you can’t feel there is a problem.”
According to the American Association of Endodonists, it’s rare but possible for root canals to become infected again. In most situations, per the AAE, patients undergo a “complex” endodontic retreatment procedure to remove infection and save the tooth.
