A 4 year old Boy's Functional Medicine Lab Test Result

Описание: Mood swings, depression, anxiety, and attention issues, most people don’t think mold toxicity or gut dysbiosis.

But here’s the functional medicine truth: your brain chemistry is deeply connected to your biochemistry—and that includes what’s happening in your gut and environment.

Mold exposure isn’t just a respiratory issue.

The mycotoxins produced by mold can cross the blood-brain barrier, inflame the brain, and disrupt the production of key neurotransmitters like dopamine, GABA, and serotonin. This can lead to:
• Brain fog
• Panic attacks
• OCD-like behaviors
• Sleep disturbances
• Mood instability
• Even aggression in children

Pair that with gut dysbiosis—an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the GI tract—and you get a perfect storm. Why?

• Neurotransmitters get thrown off
• Dysbiosis can impair nutrient absorption (B12, zinc, magnesium—all essential for mental health)
• Certain pathogenic bacteria can produce neurotoxic metabolites that worsen symptoms
• Leaky gut can trigger neuroinflammation via the gut-brain axis

This can lead to nutrient deficiencies, behavioral issues, and even developmental delays in children.

Many parents notice drastic improvements in their child’s mood and focus after removing mold from the home and restoring gut health.

Adults, too, may find their “anxiety disorder” was actually biotoxin illness all along.

If you’re dealing with mental health challenges, don’t overlook mold and the microbiome.

Functional lab testing like the Organic Acids Test (OAT), Mycotoxin Testing, and GI-MAP can uncover these root causes.

Healing starts with investigating. Mold might be invisible, but the symptoms aren’t.
