In 2022, Christina Haack underwent a scan after experiencing a variety of ailments, including Hashimoto’s disease, Raynaud’s syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, unexplained skin rashes, joint and muscle pain, dry eyes, acid reflux, and brain fog — which eventually revealed thatshe was suffering from mercury and lead poisoning. In December 2022, she shared in an Instagram story that this was likely due to “all the gross houses I’ve been in (the bad flips).” She had also believed at the time that it could be breast implant-related.

After jumping from one relationship to another, mixing her personal and professional life, and subsequently undergoingdeeply publicized divorce battles, Christina Haack has had quite the journey. While wearing different masks and juggling dynamics despite the complications is definitely commendable,sometimes the wiser thing to do is take a break. Given the fact that she has been open about her mental health journey — including smoking Bufo toad —the renovation queen of reality TV needs to take a chill pill from televising her lifefor a much-needed retrospective timeout. Haack can always make a comeback to reality TV after her hiatus. Still, after over a decade of relentlessly living under the scrutiny of the public eye, it’s bound to take a toll on one’s mental well-being, and taking a step back can be the need of the hour,especially for the sake of her children and the sanctity of her domestic life.
