In today’s episode, Dr. Hugh dives into essential tests that can make a difference if you’re struggling with chronic illness. If you’ve been on a healing journey but haven’t seen the results you want after 6 to 8 weeks, these advanced tests could reveal critical insights. Here’s what we cover:

  • Why Advanced Testing?
    For those who haven’t seen progress in their healing, advanced tests can uncover hidden toxins, including mold, heavy metals, and environmental pollutants.
  • Blood vs. Urine Tests:
    Learn why testing through urine can be up to 1,000 times more effective at detecting toxins than blood samples. Dr. Hugh explains how toxins often accumulate in organs, and urine testing helps reveal what’s really going on.
  • What the Tests Cover:
    • Mold & Mycotoxins: High levels of mold toxins can prevent recovery. Dr. Hugh explains how mycotoxins, or toxic substances produced by mold, can impact your health.
    • Heavy Metals: Tests identify harmful metals like aluminum and tungsten that can stay in the body and affect health.
    • Environmental Pollutants: From plastics to pesticides, these pollutants can disrupt the body’s natural balance. Find out how daily exposures impact long-term health.
  • Real-World Case Study:
    Dr. Hugh shares a case of a client who was stuck in her recovery until these tests revealed high levels of toxins. With this insight, they tailored a plan to detoxify and support her healing.
  • The Importance of Specific Functional Medicine:
    Dr. Hugh emphasizes that many chronic illness cases need specific, personalized care—general treatments may not address the root issues. Advanced testing can be a vital step for those looking to fully heal.

If you’re on a healing path and feel stuck, tune in to learn how advanced testing might be the key to unlocking your recovery.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
