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:
- Urine Sample Collection: You will provide a urine sample, which is then sent to the lab for testing.
- 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.
- 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.
