Mold Toxicity (Part 1 of 3):                                             Symptoms & Associated Diagnoses

5/12/2020

0 Comments

 
Mold toxicity is a surprising common root cause of brain related symptoms. 
In this conversation, Dr. Judy Tsafrir and I discuss:
- Water damaged buildings and how someone might unknowingly be exposed to toxic mold.
- How mold toxins get into and impact the body (and brain)
- Symptoms and associated diagnoses
In our next episode, we will discuss testing (for people and for physical spaces) followed by an episode on treatment. 
Lastly, we hope to then have a recap on facebook live which would allow for questions and answers.

4/30/2020

0 Comments

 
In this conversation Dr. Judy Tsafrir and I discuss how we evaluate and treat some of the more common root causes of depressed mood that we see in our daily work -

Nutrient imbalances, inflammation and toxicity, but more specifically:

Under and Overmethylation
Pyrrole Disorder
Copper Toxicity/Overload
Mast Cell Activation
Mold toxicity
Food Sensitivity
Candida/Yeast Overgrowth
(with brief mention of Lyme, Bartonella, EMF sensitivity, head and neck trauma and instability of the upper cervical spine)
​

We also discuss the challenges people can experience as they discontinue psychiatric medication, when these underlying issues haven't been addressed.

    In these podcasts, I use a common cultural reference - such as something from the news, the arts, media, or politics, as a starting place before delving into the fascinating and less known roots to our brain related symptoms and mental wellbeing.  Along the way, I discuss new and evolving treatment options that address these root causes. Her hope is to challenge us  to look at ourselves, our families, our lives, our culture and even our humanity through a different lens - a lens that offers more possibility and more hope.
