There's a company out there which has a, it's called a total tox burden test. You don't do it? We do it. And I meant the test itself is produced by them. And so we administer for patients at home. We get the results in a couple of weeks. And then we put together a specific treatment plan to treat those specific elements. So for me, it was the binders that I mentioned plus sauna.
Because of the mold toxicity, I actually ended up moving offices because we found mold in my old office. I moved houses actually, not because of that, but it helped with the mold.
and really making sure to wash my fruits and vegetables carefully because a lot of times they have mold on them there's a whole host of things you can do air purifiers at home in the office heavy metals is another thing that i found so making sure that the fish that you're eating things like that is organic fresh wild caught so for me that was my specific treatment plan i'm sure for other people they have they'll find things that they may not have noticed
from their normal primary care doctor.
Yeah. That test is a game changer for sure. Because for so many of us, you go to get the same lab work done every year. The ranges are so large and they're like, oh, you're low normal or high normal, but it's not getting to the actual cause of what's causing that. And so for me, I had inflammation in my body and I'm super healthy.
No one could explain it, but it wasn't until I did this test that I actually figured out what was causing that. And that was leading to a whole host of other things.
some reduced kidney function, some elevated liver enzymes, these micro traumas that I was having to my body from all the toxins that I was encountering.
It's a few hundred dollars. It's very affordable for people that really are... making health their priority and want to get to the root cause of their problems. I think coming at your health from a naturopathic perspective can be very helpful, rather than just thinking about Western medicine, which is focused on disease treatment, disease treatment.
There's other ways of thinking about your health in terms of root cause problems, how to assess that. And then treatment is the last step. It's really identifying the root cause problem first before you even get to the treatment.
The total tox burden test. That's one of them. There's many other tests, you know, people have been talking about for years, but I think are important. Like got microbiome testing, food sensitivity testing. If you are lactose intolerant or lactose insensitive, like I am, just having a little pizza or milk doesn't cause me to be violently sick, but it does cause micro inflammation in my gut.
And things like that are important for people to get. And most people don't get that from their regular doctor.
stool sense, stool microbiome testing, food sensitivity, total tox burden. These are all the markers for inflammation that you will see far before you get to the actual disease process.
A lot of this reduces inflammation. So you feel more energy. Do you feel? You feel more clear-headed. You feel your lab values will certainly improve because you're taking out that inflammation from your body. You'll feel subjective benefits first, and then over time, certainly objective benefits in your lab work.
That's a great test. I highly recommend it.
We haven't talked in four years. I know. Four years.
So genetic testing is on the cusp of really great things. At least in the outset now, it can be helpful for getting a phenotype for yourself so you understand how your body reacts to certain things. But eventually, treatments will be geared toward your specific genetic phenotype or genotype. And that's really when I think it's going to be super impactful.
So for now, it's helpful just to understand where you are in the milieu of genetics and testing. But in the future, I think it's going to be targeted to therapies based on your specific gene type.
Well, there are genetic tests that can test you for cancer markers, like the gallery test, which is incredibly important for people to take. So as part of like, I think a comprehensive health plan, you obviously need your just basic blocking and tackling your cardiovascular health, your lipid panel, your blood sugars, your liver, kidney function, and all of those things.
I think some of the specialty tests, like we talked about, gut microbiome, food sensitivity, environmental toxin, but then you go into your genetic testing, like the gallery cancer test, epigenetic test, the test your biological age and whatnot. And then for like prevention purposes, there's the clearly heart scan, which I think is really helpful for most people, and that's getting more popular.
What's it called? The Clearly Heart Scan. So it's a cardiovascular test that tests your risk of having a cardiac event. And I think for a long time, people, Western medicine was reluctant to have people do expensive testing proactively. And we kind of waited till it was more of a disease stage before testing and treating.
