In this episode, I explain a real mold detox plan from start to finish. I walk you through a woman in her mid-50s who was very sick, had a low white blood cell count, and had been to many doctors with no answers. Her labs showed mold, heavy metals, and chemical toxins. Four months later, her test results looked totally different.

You will learn:

• Why detox is not “just take a supplement and get better”
• Why you must prepare the body before pulling out mold or metals
• What her first test showed (10 mold markers, 3 heavy metals, 2 pollutants)
• How her second test dropped to only 5 markers after four months
• Why fixing sleep, gut function, and inflammation must happen first
• Why rushing detox can make you crash and feel worse

What we did before detox:

• Reduced inflammation
• Improved gut health and absorption
• Balanced blood sugar
• Supported mitochondria and the immune system
• Created a real sleep routine
• Added movement, red light therapy, and Epsom salt baths

Supplements used before detox:

• Magnesium (three forms)
• Fish oil and essential fatty acids
• Beef-based paleo protein
• Udo’s oil (3-6-9 blend)

The detox system we used:

• Quicksilver Scientific pre-detox program (8 weeks)
• Bitters for the liver
• Kidney support
• Liquid vitamin C
• Phosphatidylcholine for cell membranes
• A gentle binder for toxins

Why this matters:

• Your liver, kidneys, gut, and bowel movements must work well before detox.
• You must be able to “take the trash out” or toxins will back up.
• Slow detox wins. Fast detox fails.

Cost Info:

• Retail cost for the full system is $551
• Client wholesale cost is $275
• All active clients receive wholesale pricing

In this episode, I break down the whole journey—how we prepared her body, how we detoxed safely, and how her labs and symptoms changed.

If you’ve been sick for years and nothing makes sense, this episode will help you understand why real mold detox must be done slowly, safely, and with a plan.

Are you tired of feeling sick and getting no answers from your doctor?

In this episode, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth explains how hidden toxins—like mold, heavy metals, and environmental pollutants—may be the real reason behind your chronic illness.

https://drhughwegwerth.com/post/toxic-load-explained-how-mold-heavy-metals-pollutants-block-healing-real-case-study/

For over 26 years, Dr. Hugh has helped people recover from mystery illnesses by uncovering what most doctors miss: your body’s toxic load.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What “toxic load” really means and why it’s keeping you sick
• How mold, heavy metals, and pollutants hide in your body and damage your health
• Why urine testing gives a true picture of your toxic burden
• A real-life case study of a 55-year-old woman who reversed her symptoms and lost 30 pounds in 4 months
• Lab results that prove recovery is possible, showing up to 70–80% reductions in toxins
• Why conventional medicine misses the root cause and what to do instead

Key Takeaways:

• Chronic illness often comes from toxins trapped in your tissues and bones.
• You can’t heal if your body is full of mold, metals, or chemicals.
• Once you clean the environment inside your body, your natural healing power returns.

If doctors keep telling you “it’s in your head,” this episode will give you hope and direction.

In this episode, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth dives deep into the truth about osteoporosis—and why it’s not just about weak bones.

Get the full lecture notes 

Most people think osteoporosis only affects bone strength, but the reality is far more complex. Inside your bones lives your bone marrow, the powerful engine that creates stem cells, red blood cells, and immune cells. When bone health declines, so does your immune system.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why bone loss starts silently and how chronic inflammation speeds it up
• The link between bone marrow and immune health—and why both weaken together
• How inflammation and aging cause “marrow fat” buildup, leading to more disease
• What “inflammaging” really means and how it drives chronic illness
• The truth about bone density scans (DEXA) and what they miss
• How new lab tests like the CTX blood marker reveal early bone loss
• The Functional Medicine approach to reversing inflammation and restoring bone marrow function
• Why women in perimenopause and menopause face faster bone decline—and how to fight back naturally

Key Takeaways:

• Your bone marrow makes your immune system.
• Chronic inflammation destroys both bone and immunity.
• Bone marrow fat = weaker health and faster aging.
• Functional medicine looks at the root cause, not just the bone density number.
• You can rebuild bone strength and immune power naturally with the right strategy.

Tune in and learn how your bones are more alive than you think — and how protecting your marrow could be the key to living strong for life.

The Shocking Science of Grounding

https://drhughwegwerth.com/

In this episode, I break down the simple but powerful science of grounding and why it could change your health.

What You’ll Learn:

• What grounding is: The Earth works like a giant battery full of electrons.
• How grounding helps: When you touch a grounding mat or sheet, those electrons move into your body and bring balance.
• Why it matters: If you struggle with chronic illness, fatigue, brain fog, or inflammation, you may be low on electrons. Grounding restores them.
• The role of silver: A good grounding sheet has silver woven into it. More silver means more conduction, which means more healing power for your body.
• Free radicals explained: These are unstable molecules that damage your cells. Grounding, like antioxidants, helps “quench” free radicals before they cause harm.
• Diseases linked to oxidative stress: Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, arthritis, IBS, kidney disease, and more all thrive in a body with too much oxidative damage.
• Real-life demo: I show how using a simple $30 meter proves that grounding drops harmful body voltage almost instantly.

Why Listen?

• You’ll understand why every disease grows in a body that is inflamed.
• You’ll see how something as simple as connecting with the Earth—or using a grounding mat—can lower inflammation, improve energy, and protect your cells.
• You’ll get practical tips and see the exact tools I use at home.

Tune in and discover how grounding can give your body what it’s missing—free healing energy from the Earth.

In this episode, Dr. Hugh shares a powerful story about mold recovery.

see the labs https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/mold-of-5700-to-zero-in-9-months-see-4-follow-up-tests

You’ll hear about a patient we’ll call David. He was once in great health, but after antibiotics for a sinus infection, his body got stuck in a cycle of mold damage. His lab tests showed shocking results at first, but with the right steps, he went from 5,700 mold toxins down to zero.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why mold testing matters – especially if you have a chronic health problem.
• How mold acts like a snake – quiet until it feels threatened, then it releases poison.
• What the Mycotox Profile test shows – and why urine testing is the key.
• How stress, antibiotics, and weak immune systems make mold more dangerous.
• David’s journey – four lab tests showing his toxins dropping from 5,700 to zero.
• Practical tips – removing mold sources like humidifiers and hidden water leaks.

Key Takeaway:
If you’ve been sick for a long time and nothing makes sense, mold could be the missing piece. Testing through urine can be a life-changing step to finally get answers.

The $1,200 Pap Smear – Why The Medical System is Broken

Episode Summary:

In this episode, I talk about my wife's shocking medical bill for a simple, 15-minute checkup. It’s a real story showing how broken and expensive our current healthcare system is.

Here’s what happened:

• My wife had a yearly gynecological exam.
• It lasted just 15 minutes with a nurse practitioner.
• The total bill was $1,211!
• Insurance paid $981, and we still owed $229.

What’s the Catch?

• They told her upfront: “No extra questions” or it would cost more.
• She couldn't ask about any other health concerns—even if it was simple.
• That’s right—you’re only allowed one problem per visit, or you get billed extra.

Let’s do the math:

• $1,200 for 15 minutes = $4,800 per hour.
• If the nurse works 30 hours a week, that’s $144,000 billed weekly.
• That adds up to over $600,000 per month from one nurse practitioner!

Here’s the truth:

• The system isn’t built to help people with complex or chronic illness.
• They offer drugs and surgery—and very few real answers.
• And worst of all? Medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy in America.

But here’s the good news:

• There is hope.
• If you're struggling with chronic health problems, there are other options.
• I help people across the world recover through natural and functional medicine.

Is Mold or Metal the Cause of Low White Blood Cells?

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Hugh!

Today, we’re talking about something really important—low white blood cell counts—and why you might be feeling tired, sick, or just not yourself. This episode is based on a powerful case study with a 54-year-old woman whose bloodwork revealed something shocking.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why your immune system may be struggling
• How mold, heavy metals, and toxins might be secretly hurting your body
• What tests you should do if you have low white blood cell counts
• What CRP means—and why it matters
• How urine testing can uncover toxic overload
• The truth about functional medicine vs. conventional medicine

Key Takeaways:

🦠 Low White Blood Cell Count = Weak Immune System

• Her count was 2.4 (way below normal)
• Normal range: 3.5 to 10.8
• Ideal range: 5 to 6.5

🔥 CRP Was Very High

• Her CRP was 18.3 (normal should be under 1)
• This means inflammation is everywhere in her body

🧪 Toxic Overload Found in Her Urine

• 10 different types of mold
• 4 heavy metals
• 10 environmental pollutants

💡 These toxins can:

• Lower your white blood cells
• Increase inflammation
• Damage your immune system over time

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• What Fullscript is and how it works for supplement orders

The Truth About Bioidentical Hormones

Podcast with Dr. Hugh Wegwerth

https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/the-shocking-truth-about-bioidentical-hormones-and-why-women-deserve-better 

What This Episode Is About

In today’s podcast, Dr. Hugh talks about something important that many women are confused about — bioidentical hormones.

You’ll learn:

• What they are
• Why they’re safer than you’ve been told
• How they help your brain, bones, mood, and more
• Who should use them — and who should not

Why Hormones Matter More Than Ever

• Women today are living longer than ever before
• You might spend 40% of your life in menopause!
• Hormones like estradiol, progesterone, DHEA, and pregnenolone help keep you sharp, strong, and feeling young

What Happens When Hormones Drop?

Without enough hormones, women may experience:

• Hot flashes
• Trouble sleeping
• Brain fog or memory problems
• Mood swings or low mood
• Vaginal dryness
• Low sex drive
• Weight gain or blood sugar issues

The Real Difference: Natural vs Synthetic

Natural Hormones (Bioidentical):

• Made to match your body exactly
• Come from plant sources
• Fat-soluble (better for your cells)
• Examples: Estradiol, Progesterone

Synthetic Hormones (like Premarin and Progestins):

• Made from horse urine or in labs
• Water-soluble (harder for your body to use)
• Linked to more side effects

The 2002 Study That Scared Everyone

• A big study in 2002 used synthetic hormones in older women
• Most were already in menopause for 10+ years
• Results caused fear, but data was misunderstood
• Newer research shows starting early (perimenopause) is much safer and more helpful

What the Science Says Now

When taken early, even synthetic estrogen helped women:

• Lower their risk of heart disease
• Reduce breast cancer
• Improve memory
• Cut risk of diabetes
• Prevent bone fractures

Who Should Be Careful With Hormones?

You may not be a good fit for hormone therapy if you:

• Smoke
• Have uncontrolled diabetes
• Had blood clots or heart disease
• Are very sedentary or have autoimmune issues

Good News: You Can Get Started Safely

Over-the-counter options (no prescription needed):

• Estradiol cream
• Progesterone cream
• DHEA supplements
• Pregnenolone capsules

Only testosterone needs a doctor’s prescription.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• What the 2002 hormone study got wrong
• Why bioidentical hormones are different and safer
• When to start hormone therapy
• How to feel better, sharper, and stronger — naturally

https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/the-omega-3-inflammation-test-you-can-do-at-home-for-55

Episode Description
In today’s show, I break down a quick, at-home finger-prick called the OmegaQuant Test. This simple kit measures the balance between your omega-3 “good guys” and omega-6 “bad guys.” When that balance is off, hidden inflammation can spread from your gut to your brain.

What You’ll Learn

• Why inflammation is the soil where disease grows
• How the OmegaQuant Test works:
  • Checks omega-3 levels in red blood cells
  • Shows your omega-6 : omega-3 ratio
  • Flags arachidonic acid (the most fiery omega-6)
• Real-life case study:
  • Severe heartburn, fatigue, and brain fog vanished in 6 weeks after fixing low omega-3s
• EPA vs. DHA—who helps what?
  • EPA calms joints, organs, and blood vessels
  • DHA protects your brain and nerves

Easy Visuals

• Picture your cells as soft jelly donuts when omega-3s are high—flexible and clean.
• Without them, cells turn stale and crusty, trapping toxins inside.

Take-Home Tips

• Aim for an omega-3 level of 10–12 % and a ratio of 3 : 1 or lower.
• Add a high-quality fish-oil blend of EPA + DHA to hit both body and brain.

Call to Action
Grab the OmegaQuant Test for about $48, mail it in, and get clear numbers on your hidden inflammation. Then join me as we map out a simple plan to cool the fire and feel like yourself again!

What Are Mitochondria and How Fluoroquinolones Affect Them

Check out my 65 blogs on this topic

In today’s episode, Dr. Hugh will talk about mitochondria and how they play an important role in your health. This episode is especially helpful if you’ve been affected by antibiotics like fluoroquinolones, which can damage mitochondria.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• What are mitochondria?
  • Mitochondria are the energy makers of your cells. They help produce power so your cells can work properly.
  • Each cell in your body can have between 15 and 2000 mitochondria, depending on the cell type.
• How do fluoroquinolone antibiotics work?
  • Medications like Cipro and Levofloxacin target the DNA of bacteria, stopping it from copying itself. This is how the bacteria are killed.
  • However, these antibiotics can also damage your mitochondria because your mitochondria have DNA that is similar to bacterial DNA.
• Why are mitochondria at risk?
  • Unlike the nucleus of your cell, which is well-protected, mitochondria have ring-shaped DNA that is exposed.
  • This makes it easy for antibiotics to damage mitochondria, leading to long-term health problems.
• What happens when mitochondria are damaged?
  • Damaged mitochondria can cause nerve pain (neuropathy) and make you feel tired.
  • Mitochondria also help cells decide when to live or die, so when they’re harmed, it can cause your cells to stop working properly.

Dr. Hugh explains how fluoroquinolone antibiotics can affect your body by targeting the mitochondria. If you’re struggling with side effects from these drugs, this episode will help you understand why and how to begin your path to recovery.
