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!!

Where do I begin????? I’m going to begin by telling you all a little back history about how I found this Diamond. I went through the wringer with my toddler since the day she was born. Doctors under the sun couldn’t give me anything but short answers, I paid so much money for better care and I was tossed around with questions and no answers. My baby was in need of somebody to just examine her properly and no matter how hard I looked it seemed impossible. that was in the past, until Jessica welcomed us with open arms, found the problem and continues to bless us with answers to our concerns by addressing them in a way that nobody ever has. We have seen major improvements in our daughter by following everything Jessica says, if you got to this page, I highly reccomend her. My daughter has seen so many doctors, been poked and pronged so many times that she doesn’t even like to be seen anymore. Trauma. But Jessica is patient, and kind. And she will find a way to get them to like her. My kid smiled for her and that was enough for me. And our kids have the same exact birthday, which felt like another sign to me!
Through our office visit, never once did I feel rushed or nervous. She never judged us for our choices as parents, and she always led us into a better path. Because of Jessica our daughter has a chance at a positive life with a promising future and I could not be more happy to have found her. This woman knows her stuff and she actually cares about people. I’ve never met someone in the medica field that I trust more than I trust her. I don’t know what I would do without her, I feel so grateful and I literally cried after our first visit when she gave us answers… and that’s how much I got out of her visit. Happy tears!!! Please don’t ever leave Jessica!!!Thank you Jessica.

We are new patients at Well-Rooted. We were greeted by the friendly receptionist who answered all our questions. Even though it’s a temporary location, it was very well organized and clean. We saw Allison for our visit. She was knowledgeable, friendly and took the time to listen and answer any of our questions. She put our children at ease and made the appointment very easy. We are so grateful for this pediatric office and look forward to building a relationship with the staff!
