Toxic mold exposure can have a different impact on everyone. Some who are sensitive may experience a host of symptoms while others might not experience any at all.

“Black mold” aka Stachybotrys Chartarum is one mold species that most of us are aware of.

Back in 1998, a study concluded that “A variety of respiratory, dermatological, eye and constitutional symptoms have been associated with heavy and prolonged exposure to S chartarum. …Ingestion of food heavily contaminated with toxin-producing molds…can cause bone marrow suppression and immunotoxicity.” (A. Bitnun, MD; R. Nosal, MD).

A 2003 study concurred, stating, “some molds are human pathogens.” (D.M. Kuhn; M.A. Ghannoum)

With experts estimating that as many as 50% of homes and vast amounts of the food supply are contaminated with mycotoxins, should mold illness be a greater topic for discussion in wellness conversations?

Dry brushing has been around for centuries. It's the process of rubbing a brush with coarse, natural bristles over your body. Dry brushing exfoliates your skin and even helps open pores to eliminate toxins.

Want to give it a shot? Try starting at your feet and working your way up - brushing in circular motions. Boost your self-care routine and let us know what you think!

There are many dimensions when it comes to wellness. If you are going through any sort of healing process, make note where you are in all of these different aspects. You may be happily surprised how not just your physical health shifts but many pieces of the wellness puzzle also change for the better.

In functional medicine, there’s a lot of conversation around one term: “the root cause.”

If we want to truly heal, we need to discover, understand, and treat the root cause. If we merely treat the symptoms, we’re not making any progress.

If symptom based care hasn’t produced the long term results you’re looking for, maybe it’s time to start a conversation about functional medicine and root cause protocols.

You've heard the term, but what is leaky gut?

Put simply: it's a hole, crack, or fissure that allows infection, food particles, and immunoglobulins to pass through your intestinal lining and into your bloodstream.

Leaky gut can cause all kinds of inflammation in your body, and it's VERY often seen alongside autoimmune diseases or chronic illness.

If you have Leaky Gut Syndrome and a chronic illness, it's necessary to treat BOTH at the same time. If you haven't seen success with leaky gut protocols in the past, this might be why!

It’s estimated that as many as MILLIONS of Americans could have Lyme Disease that is so far undiagnosed.

And sadly, many have been misdiagnosed at the hands of inaccurate testing.

Lyme is known as “The Great Imitator” due to its ability to mirror the symptoms of other diseases. But a Lyme literate clinician should be able to spot the warning signs that might indicate testing to be a good idea for you.

In our clinic, we utilize a test for Lyme that is over 95% sensitive and accurate - much higher than conventional testing.

When we test for Lyme, we will typically run a Mycotoxin panel as well. Mold exposure and toxicity can wreak havoc on your system if left unchecked.

Q: Which supplements does Dr. Greg take?

Well, the most important thing to know is this - all of the supplements I take are based on my labs. If it's possible, I highly recommend that you run YOUR labs to determine which supplements could be most beneficial to you.

As for me, here are a few I take. Remember, every body is different. These are not blanket supplement recommendations. Also remember this - there's no magic pill! It remains key to dial in your lifestyle. The supplements can come alongside that to help support your body's natural healing process.

💊 DV3: I live in Minnesota, which means in the winter months, it can be difficult to maintain optimal vitamin D levels. Not all vitamin D supplements are made alike, and I've vetted numerous options before landing on DV3. A bad vitamin D product has one ingredient. A good one has two. DV3 has 22 ingredients!

💊 Homocysteine TLR: Homocysteine is an inflammatory marker. In functional medicine, we typically aim for that lab marker to be at 6 or less. Personally, I'm prone to elevated levels, so I take Homocysteine TLR to help regulate those levels.

💊 Pure Gut: This is kind of like a probiotic on steroids. It actually has a phage in it as well as prebiotic components. I have battled with leaky gut syndrome in the past, and this is my go-to supplement for gut health.

MCAS - mast cell activation syndrome. Some people know this as a histamine response.

You know if you're this person: all of the sudden you can't handle certain foods, scents, or enviornments. Your system just seems tippy and trippy.

But what's the root cause? Your immune system is overwhelmed. And chronic infection is most often the culprit.

We need to identify it through proper testing, address it, open your drainage pathways...and then we'll see people find that they're less responsive. Less histamine, less mast cell activations.

Let's chat.
