What Are Mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by certain types of mold. They’re commonly found in water-damaged buildings, improperly stored food, and even in our environment. These invisible toxins can build up in the body over time, often without obvious mold exposure, and may trigger a wide range of chronic symptoms.
Common Sources of Mycotoxins
Water-damaged homes or workplaces
Contaminated foods (grains, nuts, coffee, spices)
Hidden mold in air conditioning or ventilation systems
Previous mold exposure (even if it was years ago)
Symptoms of Mycotoxin Exposure
Everyone’s response to mycotoxins is different. You might feel “off” without understanding why. Common symptoms include:
Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
Brain fog, memory problems, and poor concentration
Chronic sinus congestion or respiratory issues
Headaches and migraines
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
Sensitivity to chemicals, smells, or light
Digestive problems, including bloating or IBS-like symptoms
Joint or muscle pain
Hormonal imbalances
Our Approach to Mycotoxin Illness
At our clinic, we look beyond the surface to understand the root cause of your symptoms. Mycotoxins often go undiagnosed because their effects mimic many other conditions. Our comprehensive approach includes:
1. Advanced Testing
We use specialized lab testing (such as urine mycotoxin panels) to detect the presence of specific mold toxins like Ochratoxin A, Aflatoxins, and Citrinin.
2. Personalized Detox Protocols
Based on your test results and unique health history, we create a customized protocol to support detoxification. This may include:
Binders to capture and remove toxins from the body
Liver and kidney support for safe detox
Nutritional strategies to repair gut lining and reduce inflammation
Support for mitochondrial function and energy
3. Environment & Lifestyle Guidance
We help you identify and minimize continued mold exposure — whether in your home, car, or workplace — and provide resources for proper mold remediation and prevention.
Who Should Consider Mycotoxin Testing?
If you’ve been diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, unexplained inflammation, or autoimmune issues — and haven’t found relief — mold toxicity could be an underlying cause worth exploring.
