In this week’s Q&A and podcast episode, I discussed testing, toxins, cookware, allergies, and practical steps that help patients recover. Here’s what we covered…
Genetics and testing
DNA gives blueprints not destiny. I prefer functional testing to see if the body has the nutrients and cofactors it needs. Spend money where results follow and know what you will change before you test.
Calcium in the arteries
Preventing arterial calcium is the same work as preventing dementia and cancer. Nourish mitochondria, reduce toxins, balance minerals and keep inflammation low.
Allergies and mold
History matters more than one test. Homeopathic AllerGena drops help many patients. Mold testing can be useful but often adds cost and noise. If budget is limited treat the body first and reassess.
Metals parasites and fibroids
Yes heavy metals and parasites can be contributors. Also consider endocrine disrupting chemicals from textiles and personal products. Detox and mineral balance are key parts of care.
Cookware and everyday exposures
Avoid Teflon. Ceramic and diamond ceramic options work for me. Buy reputable products and replace damaged pans.
Vitamin D and paradoxes
High dose vitamin D can paradoxically cause insomnia in some people. If that happens stop it, wash out and try a lower dose while monitoring symptoms.
Clinical testing and interpretation
Running panels without a knowledgeable clinician often backfires. If you order advanced testing work with a practitioner who will interpret results and keep your plan sustainable.
