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.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
