Mold Toxicity Testing and Treatment at Well Rooted Functional Medicine
Identifying and Eliminating Mold Toxins for a Healthier You

At Well Rooted Functional Medicine, we understand that exposure to mold can significantly impact your health. Mold toxicity, caused by mycotoxins released by mold species, can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, headaches, respiratory issues, digestive problems, and more. Chronic exposure can have long-term effects on your immune system, nervous system, and overall well-being.

We offer comprehensive mold toxicity testing to identify the presence of mycotoxins in your body and create a targeted treatment plan that addresses both the root cause and your symptoms. By using advanced testing and integrative approaches, we’re here to help you feel your best again.

What is Mold Toxicity?

Mold toxicity occurs when mycotoxins, which are toxic chemicals produced by certain species of mold, accumulate in the body. These mycotoxins can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact, and can cause a variety of symptoms, such as:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Memory problems or brain fog
  • Headaches
  • Respiratory issues (e.g., coughing, wheezing)
  • Digestive disturbances (e.g., nausea, bloating)
  • Muscle pain and joint pain
  • Skin rashes
  • Sensitivity to light

When exposed to mold, these toxins can infiltrate the body’s systems, causing widespread inflammation, immune system disruption, and neurological damage. While many people can tolerate short-term exposure, chronic exposure can lead to more severe health complications, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems.

Mold Toxicity Testing with MycoTOX

At Well Rooted Functional Medicine, we use the MycoTOX urine test by The Great Plains Laboratory, Inc., which is one of the most comprehensive mold toxicity tests available. This test analyzes urine samples to detect eleven different mycotoxins from forty species of mold, providing us with critical data about your exposure and potential toxicity levels.

How MycoTOX Testing Works:

  1. Urine Sample Collection: You will provide a urine sample, which is then sent to the lab for testing.
  2. Analysis: The test screens for mycotoxins produced by 40 different mold species. This helps us identify which toxins are in your system and to what extent they are impacting your health.
  3. Results and Interpretation: Once the results are in, we will review the data with you and explain the findings in detail. This will give us a clearer picture of your mold exposure and help guide our next steps.

Comprehensive Treatment Plan

After evaluating your mold toxicity test results, we develop an individualized mold protocol based on the findings and the results of your comprehensive blood screening. Our treatment plan is designed to remove mold toxins from your body, support your immune system, and address the symptoms caused by exposure.

Our holistic and integrative approach includes:

  • Detoxification: A combination of natural treatments such as binders, supplements, and therapies designed to safely eliminate mycotoxins from your body.
  • Immune System Support: Strengthening and supporting your immune system to help fight off future mold exposure and prevent further damage.
  • Addressing Symptoms: We focus on relieving the symptoms of mold toxicity, including fatigue, respiratory issues, and inflammation, through dietary changes, supplementation, and other healing practices.
  • Environment Assessment: Mold exposure often stems from your living or working environment. We will guide you in identifying potential mold sources and suggest steps to reduce or eliminate exposure.

We love Well-Rooted Pediatrics. On every visit I feel like Jessica listens to my concerns and cares about my opinions on things regarding my kids. She looks at the whole child and treats the body from the inside out while still knowing there’s a time and place for medicine. With this approach I absolutely trust her and the care she provides for my four kids. Highly recommend, your family will love her too!!

This practice is incredible! They are very friendly and welcoming. I was recommend to this practice from a relative and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve taken my son here twice so far and they have been great with him. What I also like is that it is a judgement free office. They respect my decisions regarding my son and always give me the best advice and service. They’ve answered all of my questions and concerns as well as took their time with us during our visit. Highly recommend!

Valerie and the entire team at well rooted have been an intergral part of my sons health journey. After visiting multiple Drs and not receiving a clear answer, I was at a complete loss on how to help my son. After our initial meeting with Valerie, I immediately knew we were at the right place! Not only did she take the time to listen but reassured both my son and I that we would get to the root cause of the issue. It hasn’t been a quick fix, however, after 6 months my son was feeling better and back to himself and I couldn’t be happier! Valerie didn’t just put a bandaid on the situation, but truly got to the root cause. I’m hopeful for my sons future and it wouldn’t be possible without the help of Val and the entire staff at well rooted. I feel truly blessed to have found them and highly recommend them to any parent who has been let down by the traditional health care system.
