🍄 Could Mold Be Making You Sick?

You eat clean.
You work out.
You take supplements.

But you still feel:
😴 Exhausted
🧠 Brain fog
😣 Anxious
🔥 Inflamed
⚖️ Hormone imbalances

It might not be “just stress.”

It could be mycotoxins.

Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain molds. They can hide in water-damaged buildings, food, coffee, grains — even “healthy” homes.

When they accumulate in the body, they can disrupt:
• Cortisol & stress hormones
• Thyroid function
• Estrogen balance
• Immune response
• Gut health
• Detox pathways

And the symptoms often get dismissed.

If you’ve been told “your labs look normal” but you don’t feel normal… it’s worth looking deeper.

At Labs By Request, we believe symptoms are signals — not inconveniences.

🧪 Testing gives clarity.
Clarity gives direction.
Direction gives results.

🧬 You might be taking the right supplements…
but is your body actually using them?

Timing helps — but absorption and metabolism matter even more.

You can take plenty of vitamins and still be functionally deficient if:
• Your gut isn’t absorbing them properly
• You’re taking them at the wrong time
• They’re competing with other nutrients
• Your body can’t convert them into usable forms

📉 Blood levels can look “normal”
📉 Supplements can be “high quality”
📉 And you can STILL be deficient at the cellular level

That’s why micronutrient testing is so powerful 👇
🧪 It shows what’s actually getting into your cells
🧪 It reveals absorption issues, not just intake
🧪 It identifies imbalances that block other nutrients
🧪 It helps you stop guessing and start targeting

✨ Supplements are tools.
✨ Testing tells you how to use them correctly.

If you’re tired of guessing — test smarter.

📍 No appointment needed
🧪 Functional, root-cause focused testing

🧫 Yeast, parasites & hidden infections
🔥 Inflammation & gut immune markers
🍽️ How well you digest & absorb nutrients

💥 Why We NEED Functional Medicine 💥

Managing symptoms isn’t the same as getting healthy.
Most healthcare today focuses on diagnosing and medicating — without ever asking why your body is struggling in the first place.

Functional medicine flips the script. 🔄
Instead of asking, “What pill treats this?” it asks:
👉 What’s driving the issue?
👉 What’s the root cause?

🧠 Your body doesn’t make random mistakes.
Fatigue, acne, anxiety, gut issues, weight gain — these are signals, not just labels.

Functional medicine looks deeper to uncover the why behind the what:
⚡️ Hormone imbalances
🔥 Chronic inflammation
🦠 Gut dysfunction
💤 Nutrient deficiencies
😩 Stress & lifestyle triggers

✅ And here’s the best part: Labs By Request gives you access to the testing needed to uncover these root causes — without the added cost or delay of a provider visit.

Healthcare shouldn’t stop at symptom management.
It should start with root-cause answers.

💡 Health: The Luxury We Ignore 💡

We spend money chasing things that fade—cars, gadgets, trends.
We spend time on tasks that drain us, not nourish us.

Yet the one thing that makes it all possible—our health—is often ignored.

Why do we treat the foundation of our life as optional?
Why do we value fleeting pleasures more than the body that carries us through every moment?

Think about it. What we don’t protect today, we can’t enjoy tomorrow. 🩺✨
