True Health Recovery: Recent Episodes
Dr Hugh Wegwerth DC
How many people do you know who struggle with their health? Chances are, whether they show it or not, most of the people in your life do. And chances are, you’re one of them — whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, endometriosis, pcos, acne, eczema, psoriasis, autoimmune, thyroid conditions, lyme disease, brain fog, or fatigue. You’re far from alone. Living with symptoms has become the new normal. Much of the time, people coexist with their ailments, accepting them and never questioning why science and research hasn’t offered answers, as suffering has become the status quo. Sometimes though — an increasing amount of the time now — people’s symptoms start to impede their quality of life. They start to lose joys and privileges. They join the hidden army of those stuck at home or even in the hospital with mystery health issues. As they consult doctor after doctor and expert after expert and have trouble functioning on a day to day basis, their spark starts to go. They lose hope. No one is safe from becoming ill. With what were up against in today’s world and what that’s doing to our bodies, nobody is guaranteed that one day down the road, they won’t develop their first set of symptoms when they least expect it. Join Dr Hugh Wegwerth D.C. for this eye opening podcast, where he shares unique, original, advanced medical information decades ahead of science and research, that millions all around the world are already using to heal, and overcome chronic illness. If you want to keep the wool over your eyes, this podcast isn’t for you.
Three Cipro Pills Changed Her Life: April’s Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Recovery StorySchedule Zoom call click here
April was healthy, active, and worked out every day. Then she took only three Cipro pills for a suspected urinary tract infection.
Soon after, her health began to fall apart.
In this powerful podcast episode, April shares her personal experience with Cipro side effects, fluoroquinolone toxicity, and her long road toward fluoroquinolone toxicity recovery.
She developed many serious symptoms, including:
- Fast heart rate and heart palpitations
- High blood pressure
- Severe anxiety
- Trouble sleeping
- Hair loss
- Cold hands and feet
- Neuropathy in her hands and feet
- Achilles tendon pain
- Ringing in her ears
- Internal tremors
- Digestive problems
- Food sensitivities
- Rapid weight loss
April explains how doctors could not find the cause of her symptoms. Some believed she only had anxiety or depression. However, April knew something was wrong with her body.
Her husband later researched Cipro and found stories from other people who had been harmed by fluoroquinolone antibiotics.
What You Will Learn in This Episode
April and Dr. Hugh Wegwerth discuss:
- How three Cipro pills affected her health
- How to heal from being floxed
- Why fluoroquinolone toxicity can be hard to understand
- How antibiotic injuries may affect the nervous system
- Why Cipro toxicity treatment must be personal
- Why recovery is not based on one supplement
- How diet changes supported her healing
- Why testing must lead to a clear treatment plan
- How functional neurology exercises helped her
- Why physical medicine was an important part of her recovery
- How she slowly used a sauna blanket and Chi machine
- How removing silica from supplements may have helped reduce her tremors
- Why each person needs a personal recovery plan
- How faith, family, and community gave her hope
Her Progress Today
April’s tremors are now much smaller and happen less often. Her sleep has improved. Her hair loss has slowed down. She gained her weight back and feels stronger, happier, and more hopeful.
Her story shows that fluoroquinolone antibiotic damage reversal may require many small steps. There may not be one pill or one simple answer.
April worked on several areas of her health, including:
- Nervous system support
- Diet changes
- Movement and exercise
- Physical medicine
- Targeted supplements
- Blood sugar support
- Faith and emotional strength
This is not a story about one miracle supplement. It is a story about listening to the body, finding the right support, and refusing to give up.
Functional Medicine Support for Antibiotic Injury
Many people search for functional medicine for floxed patients because their symptoms are complex. Each person may have different problems that need to be addressed.
Some people may also search for a Levaquin toxicity specialist because Levaquin and Cipro are both part of the fluoroquinolone antibiotic family.
April’s message is simple:
You are not alone. Listen to your body. Keep searching for answers. Take recovery one step at a time.
This podcast is for anyone searching for information about:
- Fluoroquinolone toxicity recovery
- How to heal from being floxed
- Cipro toxicity treatment
- Fluoroquinolone antibiotic damage reversal
- Functional medicine for floxed patients
- Levaquin toxicity specialist
- Cipro nerve damage
- Antibiotic injury recovery
- Cipro side effects
- Fluoroquinolone black box warnings

Could Your Eyes Be Causing Dysautonomia, Brain Fog, and Anxiety?
In this episode, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth explains how your eyes may be adding stress to your brain and nervous system.
You will learn about a simple visual test called the Troxler Effect. This test uses a red dot and a green circle to see how well your brain filters out things that are not changing.
When your brain and eyes are working well, the green circle should fade away. If it does not fade, your eyes, brain, vestibular system, or cerebellum may be under stress.
This may be linked to symptoms like:
- Dysautonomia
- Brain fog
- Brain fatigue
- Dizziness
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Racing heart
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Blood pressure problems
- Blood sugar problems
Dr. Hugh also explains why vision is so important for brain health.
Your eyes send a huge amount of information into your brain every second. If your eyes are not moving and focusing the right way, your brain may stay on high alert.
This can make your nervous system feel like it is always looking for danger.
In this episode, you will learn:
- What the Troxler Effect is
- How to use the Brain Toolkit app
- Why the green circle should fade
- What it may mean if the green circle does not fade
- How your eyes may affect dysautonomia
- Why vision can impact anxiety and panic attacks
- Why concussions, inflammation, mold, heavy metals, and gut issues may affect eye function
- Why a functional neurological approach may be needed
This episode is not about guessing. It is about asking a better question:
Could your eyes be one missing piece in your brain and nervous system problems?

When blood sugar goes too low or too high, your cells may not get steady fuel. This can lead to poor energy, brain fog, fatigue, poor sleep, and slower healing.
Dr. Hugh explains why the blood sugar “sweet spot” is important for people with chronic illness, autoimmune issues, fibromyalgia, gut problems, thyroid problems, and people recovering from antibiotic damage.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why blood sugar matters for mitochondrial health
- How low blood sugar can create stress in the body
- How high blood sugar can cause inflammation and oxidative stress
- Why stable blood sugar may improve energy and focus
- Why Dr. Hugh likes the blood sugar range of 85 to 120
- How a continuous glucose monitor can help find hidden blood sugar problems
- Why blood sugar is one of the “low-hanging fruits” in healing
- How poor blood sugar control may slow recovery
- Why anemia and low blood pressure also matter for healing
Dr. Hugh also shares a real client example showing how eating more consistently helped improve sleep and energy. He explains how tracking blood sugar can reveal patterns that regular testing may miss.
Key takeaway:
If your blood sugar is going too high or too low, your mitochondria may struggle to make energy. Before spending money on advanced therapies, it is important to check the basics first.

In this episode, Dr. Hugh talks about one of the most missed parts of healing: the lymphatic system.
Find What’s Missing In Your Recovery
Schedule Your Zoom Call
Your lymphatic system is like your body’s cleanup crew. It helps move waste, toxins, mold, heavy metals, bacteria, and other unwanted junk out of your body.
But here is the problem.
If your lymphatic system is slow or stuck, those toxins may sit in your tissues, blood, liver, and gut. This can make it harder for your body to heal.
Dr. Hugh explains this in simple terms so you can understand why lymph drainage matters, especially if you deal with chronic illness, fatigue, swelling, inflammation, gut problems, or toxic overload.
In This Podcast, You Will Learn:
- What the lymphatic system does
- Why lymph drainage is important for detox
- How toxins can build up in the body
- Why movement helps lymph flow
- How the liver and gallbladder help remove waste
- Why bile and bowel movements matter
- How binders may help carry toxins out
- Simple ways to support lymph flow at home
Dr. Hugh Covers These Key Topics:
- The lymphatic system collects waste
- Dead cell parts
- Germs
- Mold
- Heavy metals
- Drugs
- Gut bacteria waste
- Other toxins
- The lymph system does not have a pump
- Your heart pumps blood.
- Your lymph system moves through motion.
- Your muscles help squeeze lymph forward.
- Poor movement can slow detox
- If you do not move much, lymph can become sluggish.
- This may lead to more swelling, inflammation, and toxin buildup.
- Your liver and gallbladder matter
- Lymph drains into the blood.
- The blood carries waste to the liver.
- The liver makes bile.
- Bile helps move toxins into the gut so they can leave through stool.
- Bowel movements are important
- If toxins are pushed into bile but not removed, they may be reabsorbed.
- Dr. Hugh explains why regular bowel movements can be a key part of healing.
Five Simple Ways to Help Move Your Lymph:
- Use a chi machine
- Ride a stationary bike
- Sweat with a sauna blanket
- Dry brush your skin
- Try rebounding
Why This Episode Matters
If you have chronic health problems, your lymphatic system may need support. You do not always need to “detox harder.” Sometimes your body needs help moving its natural drainage system.
When lymph, liver, gallbladder, gut, and bowel movements work together, your body has a better chance to remove waste and start healing.
Listen to this episode if you struggle with:
- Chronic fatigue
- Brain fog
- Swelling
- Inflammation
- Toxic overload
- Mold exposure
- Heavy metal exposure
- Gut problems
- Poor detox
- Slow recovery
Main Message
Your body was built with a cleanup system. But that system must move.
When your lymph system moves, your body can drain better, detox better, and heal better.

In this episode, Dr. Hugh explains how Candida (a fungus) and H. pylori (a bacteria) can work together and make gut problems much worse. Many people have one—or both—and don’t even know it. If you’ve tried many things and still don’t feel better, this may be a missing piece.
Get some help and schedule a discovery call
In this podcast, you’ll learn:
- What Candida is
- A fungus/yeast that can grow too much in the gut.
- What H. pylori is
- A bacteria that can damage the stomach lining and digestion.
- Why they are called the “evil twins”
- They help each other.
- When you have both, symptoms can feel much stronger and harder to fix.
Common signs of H. pylori include:
- Burning stomach
- Bloating
- Frequent burping
- Nausea
- Low appetite
- Unplanned weight loss
- Stomach ulcers
- Dark stools
How H. pylori may connect to bigger health problems:
- It may be linked with autoimmune issues in some people
- Thyroid problems (like Hashimoto’s)
- Crohn’s and IBS-type symptoms
- Other immune system flare-ups
Common signs of Candida include:
- Frequent UTIs (often in women)
- Gas, bloating, belly pain
- Switching between constipation and diarrhea
- Chronic fatigue
- Brain fog and memory trouble
- Vaginal yeast issues or vaginosis that keeps coming back
- Oral thrush
- Skin fungus (like foot fungus that won’t go away)
- Strong sugar and carb cravings
Why Candida can cause brain fog:
- Candida can make a chemical called aldehyde.
- Aldehyde acts like alcohol in the body.
- That can make you feel mentally cloudy day after day.
The “Gut Defense Trio” (basic starter plan):
- Rebuild stomach acid
- Cut off the fuel supply (especially sugar and processed carbs)
- Repair the gut barrier
The test Dr. Hugh uses to “test, not guess”:
- The GI-MAP stool test
- Looks for H. pylori, Candida, and other gut problems
- Checks virulence factors (these can mean a stronger, more harmful strain)
- Done at home: collect the sample, mail it in, get clear results
A key concept: stomach acid matters
- Strong stomach acid is one of your first lines of defense.
- H. pylori can make an enzyme called urease.
- Urease helps create ammonia, which can raise stomach pH.
- Ammonia is very alkaline (around pH 11).
- When stomach acid gets weaker, it can be easier for Candida and other bugs to grow.
If you feel stuck:
- This episode will help you understand why gut infections can hide, team up, and keep you in a cycle of symptoms.
- You’ll also learn why getting the right test can help you choose the right next steps.

Podcast Description: The Cellular Breakthrough That Changed How I See Chronic Illness
Schedule a Discovery Zoom call to see if we can help you!
Welcome to today’s episode with Doctor Hugh.
In this podcast, I share a simple but powerful idea that has helped many of my clients heal faster than ever before.
This is about cell energy, sunlight, and how your body makes power to heal.
What This Episode Is About
- A cellular breakthrough that changed how I treat chronic illness
- Why many sick people are still not getting better
- How the body uses light like plants use sunlight
- Why energy comes before detox
- One affordable tool that helps fragile and very sick people heal
Who This Episode Is For
If you struggle with:
- Fibromyalgia
- Brain fog
- IBS or gut problems
- Damage from antibiotics
- Chronic fatigue
- Trouble thinking or memory loss
This episode is for you.
The Big Idea: Your Body Uses Light
- Plants use sunlight to grow food
- This process is called photosynthesis
- Your body works in a similar way
- Special light waves help your cells make energy
When you don’t get enough of these light waves:
- Cells slow down
- Mitochondria stop working well
- Healing becomes very hard
Why Chronic Illness Happens
- Many sick people are low in healthy light exposure
- Modern life keeps us indoors
- Your cells become energy starved
- Low energy leads to pain, inflammation, and disease
Why Infrared Light Matters
- Most sunlight energy is invisible
- Only a small part is visible light
- Infrared light makes up over half of the sun’s energy
- This light goes deep into the body
Deep light helps:
- Mitochondria make energy
- Cells repair themselves
- The body heal without stress
Not All Heat Is the Same
- This is not about sweating
- Sick people should not push detox
- The goal is gentle energy support
- The wavelength does the work
Why I Recommend an Infrared Sauna Blanket
- Skin-to-skin contact gives deep penetration
- Works without extreme heat
- Safe for very fragile people
- Affordable and easy to use at home
Key benefits:
- Supports energy production
- Helps cells heal naturally
- No harsh detox reactions
Understanding Infrared Light (Simple Version)
- Near infrared = closer to visible light
- Mid infrared = middle range
- Far infrared = deepest penetration
Far infrared goes deepest, reaching:
- Cells
- Mitochondria
- Cell membranes
That’s why it matters most for chronic illness.
Why Deeper Is Better
- Deeper light reaches energy factories in cells
- Energy leads to repair
- Repair leads to healing
Just like sunlight feeds plants:
- Infrared light feeds your cells
Real Results
Since focusing on energy first:
- Clients heal faster
- Progress is smoother
- Less crashing and setbacks
- Better long-term recovery
Final Message
You do not need to suffer.
You need:
- The right energy
- The right guidance
- A plan made for your body

Podcast Description: The Missing Piece in Chronic Illness (Electrons + Blood Flow)
Schedule a Discovery Zoom Call https://drhughwegwerth.com/discovery-call/
If you feel sick all the time and nothing seems to “stick,” this episode is for you. In this talk, Dr. Hugh shares a simple idea: many chronic illness cases are linked to being “electron deficient.” That means your body may not have enough negative charge to run well.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn
- What “electron deficient” means and why it matters for healing
- Why short-term fixes may help for a bit, then stop working
- How the body depends on electrons to support energy and health
- Why tiny blood vessels (capillaries) matter most for real healing
- Why blood cells can clump together when charge is low
- What “zeta potential” means (simple version: the charge around red blood cells)
- Why smooth blood flow helps deliver oxygen and nutrients
A Simple Picture Dr. Hugh Uses
- Big blood vessels = about 1% of your system
- Tiny capillaries = about 99% of your system
- The point: real healing depends on the “small stuff” working well
Key Idea About Blood Flow
- Red blood cells need the right charge so they don’t stick together
- When they stay separated, blood can flow better through tiny capillaries
- When they clump, it can slow delivery to tissues
Tests and Clues Mentioned
- Blood pH (needs to stay in a tight, healthy range)
- Sedimentation rate (sed rate/ESR) as a possible sign of clumping and inflammation
Solutions Covered in the Episode
- Grounding (“Vitamin G”) to support electron flow
- Phosphatidylcholine (PC) to support cell membranes and healthy blood cell movement
- Support the glycocalyx (a protective lining in blood vessels that has a negative charge)
- Stabilize blood sugar
- Support minerals + hydration
- Fix the gut (because healing is harder when the gut is unhealthy)
- Address toxins like mold and heavy metals that may drain the system
Who This Episode Is For
- People with chronic illness that won’t improve
- People with fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, or poor circulation
- Anyone who feels like they have tried everything and still feels stuck
Main Takeaway
- Healing works better when your body has the charge and support it needs.
- You don’t need to suffer forever. You may just need a guided plan.

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.
See the labs click here
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.

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.

The Truth About Bioidentical HormonesPodcast 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 ThemCheck 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.

Join Dr. Hugh Wegwerth in this thought-provoking podcast as he delves into the fascinating topic of neuroinflammation and its intricate connection to fluoroquinolone toxicity. Neuroinflammation, a condition characterized by brain inflammation triggered by the use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, often goes unnoticed despite its potential to cause a wide array of symptoms. Fatigue, pain, and disruptions in the nervous system are just a few of the many manifestations of neuroinflammation emphasized on Dr. Wegwerth's webpage.
Delving into the intricacies of this phenomenon, Dr. Wegwerth sheds light on how fluoroquinolones have a particular affinity for fat tissue, making the brain, predominantly composed of fat, susceptible to neuroinflammation. Tune in as he unravels the paradoxical symptoms experienced by individuals affected by neuroinflammation, ranging from joint and muscle pains to mood swings, anxiety, depression, and cognitive impairments.
Through this enlightening podcast, Dr. Wegwerth underscores the vital importance of identifying and addressing neuroinflammation promptly to prevent the progression of more severe neurological issues. From subtle signs like brain fog and reduced mental speed to moderate symptoms such as depression and insomnia, and even severe complications like speech difficulties, tremors, and seizures, the impact of neuroinflammation should not be underestimated.
If these symptoms resonate with you, Dr. Wegwerth urges you to consider seeking medical advice, as they may indicate brain inflammation. Stay tuned for subsequent episodes in this captivating series, where Dr. Wegwerth will explore the available tests to determine the presence and severity of neuroinflammation, as well as effective treatment approaches.
Please note that the information provided in this podcast is for educational purposes only and should not replace consultation with a qualified healthcare professional.
Prepare to embark on a captivating journey with Dr. Hugh Wegwerth as he unravels the significance of testing for neuroinflammation in his thought-provoking podcast episode, "Testing for Neuroinflammation: Understanding the Blood Brain Barrier Permeability." Delve into the depths of the complex concept of blood brain barrier permeability and its crucial role in the development of neuroinflammation, a condition commonly referred to as "brain on fire," particularly affecting those who have previously taken fluoroquinolones.
In this illuminating episode, Dr. Wegwerth sheds light on the thin yet pivotal membrane known as the blood brain barrier, which acts as a protective barrier between the bloodstream and the brain. However, the integrity of this barrier can be compromised, allowing unwanted proteins to infiltrate the brain. Through insightful explanations, the webpage highlights how the blood brain barrier is vulnerable to damage, and when it breaks down, foreign substances gain easy access, triggering inflammation within the brain.
With a focus on the consequences of a compromised blood brain barrier, the podcast emphasizes the concept of a "leaky brain" and its implications for various symptoms and potential neuronal damage. A particularly intriguing revelation is the pivotal role played by glial cells, comprising a staggering 90 percent of the brain's cells, in supporting and safeguarding neurons. However, when neuroinflammation arises, these glial cells can mistakenly attack neurons, exacerbating symptoms and complications.
Dr. Wegwerth expertly delves into the multifaceted journey of resolving neuroinflammation by restoring the health of glial cells and fostering a resilient immune system.

Well, buckle up, my friend, because this video is tailor-made for you. I'm here to spill the beans on a condition called Dysautonomia that might be lurking behind the scenes.
Let's roll up our sleeves and dig into some eye-opening research. Studies have shown that even a mild traumatic brain injury, like a concussion or getting your bell rung, can set the stage for Dysautonomia.
Here's the clincher: another study unveils that these incidents meddle with your vagus nerve. Feast your eyes on this image of the vagus nerve, the granddaddy of all nerves in your body. It starts its journey in your neck and makes its way to every single organ, making it indispensable for the smooth functioning of your heart, liver, pancreas, digestive system, and spleen.
But when a concussion or bell-ringing event rears its ugly head, Dysautonomia can throw a wrench into the finely-tuned workings of the all-important vagus nerve, which is instrumental in relaxation, digestion, and your body's overall performance. As a result, your health takes a nosedive.
Keep in mind, we're not just talking about earth-shattering, knockout concussions. Even mild ones or a series of minor traumas accumulated over time can lead to this predicament—possibly even from incidents that date back to your days in diapers.
So, if you suspect that you're wrestling with Dysautonomia or post-concussion issues, don't just sit on your hands. Reach out, and make your way to my website, where you'll discover a quiz to determine if Dysautonomia is the troublemaker.
And if you found this info worth its weight in gold, don't be shy—like, comment, and share with someone who could benefit.

In this riveting blog post, I will dive into the perplexing world of Dysautonomia, a condition that might be causing all the fuss. Buckle up, as this is the second part of a captivating five-part series.
Today, I'll unravel a straightforward home test that'll help you figure out if Dysautonomia is knocking on your door.
To kick off this DIY test, you'll need an oximeter, easily available on Amazon. The nifty device measures two vital aspects: the oxygenation of your red blood cells and, even more critically, your heart rate. Dysautonomia is notorious for triggering irregular heartbeats, making heart rate monitoring a must.
Pop the oximeter onto your finger and jot down your heart rate. In our example, it's a cool 71 beats per minute.
Now, get ready to put Dysautonomia to the test with these foolproof steps:
Close your eyes and swing your head back and forth ten times like you're grooving to your favorite tune. Check the oximeter afterward. If your heart rate skyrockets by over ten points, Dysautonomia could be lurking in the shadows.
Flick the lights on and off, stirring up some brain activity. Keep an eye on your heart rate.
If it jumps by over ten beats, Dysautonomia might be rearing its ugly head.
Enlist a buddy to clap loudly behind you, then monitor your heart rate. If it spikes after that startling sound, Dysautonomia might be the culprit.
With these easy-peasy tests, you can transform your home into a makeshift lab.
If you have an inkling that Dysautonomia's got you in its clutches, don't hesitate to reach out to yours truly and take the quiz on my website to gauge the severity of your situation.
If this intel has been a game-changer, do me a solid by liking, commenting, and sharing it with someone you care about.

Unlock the door to proper vitamin D status and witness a world of improved health. Let me illustrate this with a research study from March 2022.
The study showed that maintaining optimal vitamin D levels reduces all-cause mortality, meaning you'll live longer with less heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
The secret lies in finding the sweet spot for your vitamin D levels.
@drhughwegwerth
@drhughwegwerth
@drhughwegwerth
Take a look at this lab result from one of my clients. Her vitamin D level is 16.5 (see the red arrow).
The standard lab range in the United States is between 30 and 100, but the real sweet spot is around 80.
If you have a chronic health condition, aiming for a vitamin D level of 80 is essential for optimal health.
The significance of vitamin D cannot be overstated. Every single one of your 100 trillion cells needs vitamin D. Unlike other hormones, such as testosterone or estrogen, vitamin D is required by every cell in your body.
That's why it's crucial to maintain optimal vitamin D levels, ideally around 80.

Let me tell you something critical. Take a close look at this lab report from one of my patients.
What you're seeing here is an often overlooked yet vital test – antibodies against your thyroid.
It reveals if you're dealing with a simple hypothyroid condition or a more complex autoimmune issue known as Hashimoto's disease.
Brace yourself: current research indicates that a staggering 90% of hypothyroid patients actually have Hashimoto's.
Now, I'm going to decode this lab report for you. The first marker is thyroid peroxidase.
My patient's result? A jaw-dropping 225 – we want it below 34. The second marker, thyroglobulin antibodies, also tells a grim tale – 6 instead of the ideal 0.9 or less.
These numbers scream one thing: autoimmune disease.
But hold on, there's more: if you have one autoimmune disease, you're likely harboring 3, 4, or even 5 others, lurking undiagnosed.
No wonder so many thyroid patients never truly recover.
The conventional medical system fails to address these underlying autoimmune issues, leaving patients suffering in silence.
Enough is enough! My mission is to tackle your autoimmune disease head-on, targeting the root cause so you can reclaim your health and vitality. If this message resonates with please share, like and comment.

Hold onto your seat because the image I'm about to reveal will leave you astounded. Let me break it down for you.
Right before your eyes is an illustration of your very own brain. More specifically, it's a visual representation of the blood flow within your brain, covering every artery and minuscule capillary.
Some of these capillaries are so tiny that they're merely the width of a single red blood cell.
Now, picture this: if your blood is thick due to inflammation, the essential blood flow and oxygen delivery to your brain will be compromised. That's precisely why it's crucial to be aware of the top three lab tests to determine if you're experiencing inflammation.
Thick blood means reduced delivery of vital nutrients and oxygen to your brain, which is far from ideal.
So, what are these three vital lab tests? First up, CRP (C-reactive protein), an overall indicator of inflammation. Aim for a reading below one.
Second, fibrinogen, which measures fibers in your blood that can cause clotting. Ideally, this should fall between 300 and 400 on lab tests.
Lastly, we have homocysteine, an inflammation marker particularly relevant to your brain. A favorable reading for this marker hovers around 5 or 6.
By monitoring these three crucial markers, you'll gain insight into whether thick blood may be the culprit behind your brain fog, fatigue, or potential future brain-related issues. If you've found this information valuable, don't hesitate to like, comment, and share this with someone you care about.

Ever found yourself grappling with a hazy brain or a seemingly energy-starved noggin? Let's dive into the enigmatic world of brain fog and brain fatigue.
Picture yourself indulging in a cocktail too many, and suddenly, your thoughts grow muddled, and your brain lags behind. Voilà, that's brain fog.
As for brain fatigue? Visualize yourself reading or watching TV, only to be engulfed by a tidal wave of weariness. These are two unique experiences, both equally mystifying.
Now, feast your eyes on this fascinating image of a neuron. Those captivating blue dots in the middle? They represent the myelin sheath. When inflammation rears its ugly head, it hinders nerve impulses as they travel along the myelin, resulting in brain fog or brain fatigue.
Through my extensive experience, I've uncovered four primary suspects behind these mind-warping sensations.
First up: food sensitivities, like gluten, dairy, or soy.
Next, consider fish oil – that essential fatty acid crucial for a healthy brain.
Thirdly, low blood pressure could be depriving your brain of the sustenance it craves.
Lastly, a concussion from days gone by might still haunt you, manifesting as brain fog or brain fatigue.

The Autoimmune Enigma: What exactly is an autoimmune disease, and how does it stealthily wreak havoc on your body? When your immune system, the ever-vigilant guardian of your health, gets thrown off course, it can mistakenly target your own tissue instead of harmful invaders. The result? A plethora of autoimmune diseases that masquerade as everything from thyroid disorders to fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
The Triple-Threat Approach to Reclaiming Your Health: To fight back against autoimmune diseases and regain control of your health, focus on these three crucial areas:
-
Gut Check: Your gut health is paramount. Keep a watchful eye on your bowel movements, aiming for 2 or 3 times a day without gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea. Remember, a healthy gut is a cornerstone of overall well-being.
-
Mold Menace: When grappling with a chronic condition, don't overlook the insidious threat of mold exposure. Consult a trusted healthcare professional for a urine test to rule out mold toxicity and its potential impact on your health.
-
Sugar Showdown: Balanced blood sugar levels are non-negotiable. Say goodbye to hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia by regularly monitoring your levels and committing to a nutritious, balanced diet.
The Bottom Line: Ladies, it's time to unmask the truth about autoimmune diseases and their impact on women's health.

This is because NO (nitric oxide)plays a critical role in regulating blood flow and circulation throughout the body. When NO (nitric oxide) levels are low, blood vessels can become constricted, which can reduce blood flow to certain areas of the body. This can lead to a feeling of coldness in the affected areas, particularly in the extremities such as the hands, feet, and nose.
In addition to regulating blood flow, NO (nitric oxide) also helps to dilate blood vessels, which can improve circulation and increase blood flow to the affected areas. This is why some health supplements and products that contain NO (nitric oxide) or ingredients that support NO (nitric oxide) production are marketed as solutions for cold hands and feet. It's worth noting that there can be many different causes of cold hands, feet, or nose, and low NO (nitric oxide) levels are just one possible contributing factor.
Other factors that can contribute to coldness in these areas include poor circulation, nerve damage, Raynaud's disease, and hypothyroidism, among others. If you're experiencing persistent coldness in your hands, feet, or nose, it's important to speak with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

- a recent study has found that stress can cause your gut to leak! Now, you may be wondering what this means for your health. Allow me to explain.
@drhughwegwerth
@drhughwegwerth
@drhughwegwert
Our gut, which was designed by God to be 36ft long, is only one cell thick. This means that the barrier between our outside world and our inside world (our body) is very thin - only one cell thick, in fact.
Unfortunately, the research has shown that when we're under stress, this barrier can become compromised, leading to a leaky gut.
Why is this such a dangerous thing? Well, when we have a leaky gut, undigested proteins can enter our bloodstream, causing inflammation throughout our body. This inflammation can lead to a variety of health problems, including fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, hypothyroidism, brain fog, and fatigue.
So, what does a healthy digestive system look like? You should be having 2-3 bowel movements per day with no constipation, diarrhea, gas, or bloating.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it could be a sign that your gut is leaking.
And if you're under stress, it's even more important to take care of your gut health. So, what's the biggest takeaway here?
You need to figure out why your digestive system isn't working properly. And if you're looking for more information on that, be sure to check out my other videos on the topic.

HCL, that's hydrochloric acid, folks. Allow me to share an eye-opening tidbit from none other than the renowned Cleveland Clinic.

@drhughwegwerth
They've got this term, Hypochlorhydria – it's a ten-dollar word for simply not cranking out enough hydrochloric acid. Now, if your stomach's running low on acid, you're in for a rough time digesting grub and soaking up nutrients.
That means indigestion, malnutrition, and sometimes even pesky bacterial overgrowth like SIBO.
But hold your horses, there's a nifty little at-home fix called the HCL Challenge, and it's on my website.
If you're thinking you might be running low on HCL, give me a shout, and I'll shoot you the link.
Hydrochloric acid is the real deal – it busts up carbs, fats, and proteins.
Now, after 24 years in the biz, I've seen more than my fair share of folks lacking in hydrochloric acid, and they're plagued with a heap of GI troubles. Yet, hardly anyone's given this protocol a whirl.

Welcome to the latest episode of our podcast series on fibromyalgia recovery! In this episode, we uncover a crucial missing link that may be contributing to your chronic symptoms: magnesium deficiency.
If you suffer from fibromyalgia, you know how debilitating the pain, muscle tension, and cramps can be. But did you know that magnesium plays a critical role in over 400 enzymatic reactions in the body, including muscle relaxation?
Low magnesium levels can prevent your muscles from relaxing, leading to increased pain and tension. But that's not all. Magnesium also has a calming effect on the brain and nervous system, helping to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. And it may even help to reduce headaches and other painful symptoms associated with fibromyalgia.
If you're not taking magnesium regularly, you may be missing a vital piece of the puzzle when it comes to managing your fibromyalgia symptoms. Tune in to this episode to learn more about the benefits of magnesium for fibromyalgia, and how to make sure you're getting enough of this essential mineral throughout the day.
This is part three of our four-part series on fibromyalgia recovery, and we're excited to share this information with you. Don't forget to like, comment, and share with someone who may also be struggling with the condition. Let's spread the word about the importance of magnesium for fibromyalgia!
Uncovering the Hidden Link Between Subclinical Anemia and Fibromyalgia: A Game-Changing Podcast Series on Finding the Root Cause of Chronic Pain"
Join us for the first episode of our five-part series, where we explore how subclinical anemia may be the culprit behind your fibromyalgia pain. While doctors typically check for 15 different markers to diagnose anemia, they often overlook subclinical anemia, which can still cause serious health issues.
Through expert insights and studies, we'll delve into the relationship between subclinical anemia and fibromyalgia, and why it's crucial to have all 15 markers checked. Don't miss out on this essential information - share this podcast with anyone who may be suffering from chronic pain.
Are you tired of struggling with anxiety or depression? Look no further than Magnesium L-Threonate, a game-changing supplement that could significantly improve your quality of life. Unlike other forms of magnesium, Magnesium L-Threonate has the unique ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and promote relaxation in the brain by increasing the production of GABA, a calming hormone. By soothing the mind, this powerful supplement can effectively alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. Don't settle for less effective forms of magnesium like magnesium malate, magnesium glycinate, or magnesium citrate that can't cross the blood-brain barrier.

Common side effects of gadolinium include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headache
- Mild skin reactions, such as itching or a rash
- Dizziness
- Increased heart rate
- Shortness of breath
In rare cases, gadolinium can cause a condition called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in individuals with impaired kidney function. NSF is characterized by hardening and thickening of the skin, as well as joint stiffness and pain.

Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that causes widespread pain and tenderness in the muscles and bones. It is often accompanied by other symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, and depression. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not yet known, but it is thought to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some theories suggest that it may be triggered by a physical or emotional trauma, an infection, or hormonal imbalances.
Fibromyalgia is a complex condition, and it can be challenging to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to those of other conditions.
It is important for individuals with fibromyalgia to work with their doctor to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and symptoms.

- And guess what? The first sign of cardiovascular diseases or what the first sign of a heart attack is? It is death.
- That's right. 50% of people that have a heart attack die. So that's 50% of your symptoms are no symptoms. It's death.
- So what I'm going to walk you through is a case of mine, of a client of mine that is, that we did some labs and he has chronic pain all over his body and in particular in his low back.
https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/mystery-case-solved-with-addressing-the-low-handing-fruit-for-her-healing
Mystery Case Solved With The Correct Approach
If you are suffering from a mysterious medical condition that has been difficult to diagnose, then this may be the article for you.
What follows is an example of a client. It is important to note that this example is a fictional person, but these symptoms are extremely common in the patients I work with every day, and may even sound like symptoms you are experiencing yourself.
Let’s say we have a female patient who is:
-
45 years old
-
Premenopausal
-
Has both low blood pressure and low blood sugar
-
Low levels of iron and thyroid functions
-
GI problems (particularly gas, bloating, and constipation)
-
Low levels of vitamin D
-
Gluten sensitivity
-
Difficulty remaining asleep
What Does Not Work for This Client
The conventional system will see she is premenopausal and fatigued, and say she must be depressed. They then prescribe an antidepressant.
Next, they look at her GI problems and say it must be gerd. They give her a medication meant to reduce the amount of stomach problems, which only messes with her system even more.
Once they identify her sleeping problems, they may even add a third medication to help her sleep at night.
The process goes on and on, and soon she is pumping herself full of medications.
There is a better way.
Functional Medicine’s Approach
I would tell this client they are not crazy, that these symptoms are real, but that we can treat them as naturally as possible. The goal is not to fill them with medications, but is to increase their God-given ability to heal.
First we would run some labs to see what different readings we have. These labs often can tell us a lot more about what may be causing some of these problems. For example, she may have deficiencies or excess amounts of some nutrients which are affecting her thyroid, sleep, or blood pressure.
Speaking of which, I would immediately check blood pressure. A lot of women who come to me end up having low blood pressure. Because blood pressure is what causes nutrients to enter into your cells all over your body, if we don’t address the blood pressure, then nothing else we do will have much effect.
Next I would look at blood glucose levels over time. It is very simple and affordable to do, and we can find that she has poor sugar regulation throughout her day.
Once we find your low iron levels I would ask her about fatigue and if she has heavy menstrual cycles. She may be losing enough blood to throw off her body’s ability to regulate iron. It may also be diet related. Iron delivers oxygen to the body, so low iron will cause a lot of different problems.
Next is the thyroid. The conventional system only does the cheapest labs available for your thyroid. On the other hand, we have found that you have an autoimmune disease against your thyroid. That would lead us down an entirely different path of treatment as well.
With vitamin D, the typically acceptable range is 30-100. Anywhere in there, the conventional system will tell you that you are fine. I like to see you closer to 80, so we add vitamin D to your diet.
We also look at your food sensitivities to address your gluten and GI problems. It i

If you're watching this video and you have a chronic problem, you definitely want to watch the whole entire video. Why? Because I'm going to go over some very, very critical data that it can that can explain why you have a chronic problems and why you're chronically inflamed and why you're not getting well. So what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to go over a case. I'm going to go over some general symptoms that she presents. She's a female in her seventies, super, super great lady, wants to get better and she can meet and we put her on a guided plan. I'm just going to go over some couple clinic, real specific clinical gems that could help you out and figure out what's going on with your problem. So she comes in with she's been down by damaged by antibiotics in 2007. She has neuropathy, weak legs, pain in a hip current UTI and then poor sleep wakes up almost every hour. So these are really devastating things. And we did a variety of things. But I'm going to go over a couple key things that we did with her. So one of the key things that I do is I have all my clients take their blood sugar. It's a very, very simple process. You can buy the meter on Amazon for 30 bucks. So what we do is we check your glucose before you eat, 60 minutes, before you eat, 30 minutes after 60 minutes, after 90 minutes after.

https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/autoimmune-mysteries-revealedhttps://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/autoimmune-mysteries-revealed
Many people are unknowingly suffering from an underlying autoimmune disease. If you, like so many out there, are suffering from some sort of chronic issue, but no one has been able to figure out the cause of your problems, it is likely that you too are suffering from some sort of autoimmune disease.
Putting it in Perspective
You probably are not aware of just how prevalent autoimmune diseases are in the modern world. Let’s put it into perspective by comparing autoimmune diseases to another very common genre of disease: cancer.
Cancer is a terrible disease. It has taken so many lives to the point that everyone knows someone who either has cancer, or has died from cancer. And yet the number of people who suffer from autoimmune diseases in the United States is more than double the number of people with cancer.
On top of that, autoimmune diseases cost Americans over $100 billion each year, while the cost to treat cancers rakes in $57 million yearly. And yet cancer gets $6.1 billion of funding to research cures and treatments, while autoimmune diseases only received $591 million.
In fact, 1 in every 6 Americans will suffer from an autoimmune disease each year. In contrast, 1 in every 13 Americans will suffer from heart disease, and 1 in 33 will suffer from some form of cancer.
There are over 80 different autoimmune diseases which we know of, and over 50 million Americans are currently suffering or treating their issues. Interestingly 75% of all autoimmune patients are women.
What Causes Autoimmune Disease?
Autoimmune diseases are when the body attacks itself. Your immune system incorrectly responds against your body’s own tissues. Your immune system is constantly analyzing everything in your body, and trying to determine if it is a “friend” or a “foe.” Your immune system errs on the side of aggression, so if it is confused then it will respond by attacking those tissues.
Think of it like your immune system getting drunk. It might recognize too much of a system or organ. Since having too many thyroids would be problematic, your immune system will decide to attack those tissues to remove the excess.
If your autoimmune disease goes undiagnosed or untreated, then your immune system response will continue to ramp up its response. The inflammation caused by your system attacking itself will further trigger an immune response, only worsening your condition.
What Forms Can Autoimmune Disease Take?
This can happen in almost any system in your body, but most commonly takes these forms:
-
Multiple Sclerosis
-
Celiac Disease
-
Crohn’s Disease
-
Type 1 diabetes
-
Asthma
-
Arthritis
-
Lupus
-
Eczema
-
Psoriasis

Dysautonomia symptoms & treatment
Dysautonomia occurs when there’s a malfunction in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). That’s the part of the nervous system that controls heart rate, blood pressure, digestion and other automatic processes in the body. In other words, things you do without having to think about them.

https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/whats-the-true-cost-of-labs
Why The Cost of Labs Seems So highWhen the largest portion of all bankruptcies in the United States comes from outstanding medical bills, then you know there is a problem inherent in the system.
One great example of this is the cost of labs. I would like to give you a solution to lowering the cost of your labs.
Looking at one of my own invoices for the cost of labs I had done with Quest Diagnostics (one of the largest diagnostics companies in the nation), you can see I had a wide range of tests done. The total cost came to $1,586.17, and that was just from the first page of the invoice.
Breaking it DownBack in 2013, when this invoice was sent to me, the first test (Thyroxine) cost me $140.61.
Now it costs me $8. How?
Since that I have begun working with a co-op of medical professionals who are trying to drive the cost down. To make that happen, I do not upcharge for labs. Instead, I only charge patients for whatever the lab costs me as the medical professional.
That comes out to $8.
Similarly, I am now able to get the cost of a $48 down to $5, and a $125 test down to the cost of a Starbucks order.
Why Does This Happen?
In short, it is because insurance companies are ripping you off, as well as your employer, your doctor, and more.
When your doctor bills your insurance, the cost inflates significantly for essentially no reason. What should be $400 in tests becomes $5,000, while your deductibles may be around that number or even higher.
The reason an $18 vitamin D test turns into a $270 test on your bill is insurance.
How to Lower Costs
The easiest way to lower your lab costs is to work with me. In 2013 my labs cost $805 to run, and now those same labs only cost $54.
That is a 93% discount for the same exact tests.
Right now the conventional medical system is there to rip you off and keep you sick. Using my polytherapy approach is important to healing, but also helps avoid these outrageous costs of medical care.
Remember, where there is help there is hope.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
LEARN THE NUMBER 1 PROTOCOL TO HELP PCOS
5 million women are affected, which makes the condition one of the most common hormonal endocrine disorders among women of reproductive age.
Youtube video https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/pcos-endometriosis-painful-periods-check-out-protocol
PCOS, painful cycles, and endometriosis are common problems for many women. There are a number of things you can do to reduce the side effects and pain associated with these conditions. I have created a new, simple protocol to help you take back control over your own pain, and I guarantee it is likely something you have never done in your entire life.
Some of the issues associated with PCOS include:
-
Excessive hair loss
-
Ovarian cysts
-
Irregular periods
-
Missed periods
-
High testosterone
-
Insulin resistance
-
Fatigue
-
Acne
Endometriosis can include symptoms such as:
-
Pelvic pain
-
Infertility
-
Excessive bleeding
-
Constipation
-
Nausea
If you are suffering from any of these symptoms or conditions, just know that there is hope to get better. It’s just a matter of using a plan to find the root cause of that pain.
Blood Sugar and Inflammation
There is a direct relationship between blood sugar and inflammation, and therefore a relationship between blood sugar and PCOS, endometriosis, and painful periods.
The protocol we will be talking about is all about tracking your blood sugar levels, and correlating it to your pain levels. We want to make sure your levels are in very consistent ranges, ideally in a range I call the “sweet spot.”
https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/anxiety-after-taking-antibiotics
Floxies and Anxiety
Symptoms of anxiety are more common in floxies, especially for those at an advanced stage. Anxiety in floxies is largely driven by the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary muscle, heart, and gland actions in humans. It comprises the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
Most body functions like digestion and breathing are controlled by these components of our nervous system. When it comes to floxies, both components of the ANS perform specific acts to either suppress or amplify anxiety symptoms. Check out how they both operate below:
Sympathetic nervous system
The sympathetic nervous system of floxies prepares their body to avoid danger or fight back some symptoms and responses. These responses are commonly referred to as the “fight-or-flight” reaction. Most stages of anxiety in floxies involve the following activity:
-
Increase in blood pressure
-
Blood flow increase to the muscle, lung and essential areas to facilitate movement from perceived danger
-
Decreased blood flow to the reproductive and digestive systems
-
Activated stress hormones and neurotransmitters to support physical responses
-
Quick-release of glucose to aid necessary processing of energy
The unique nature of some floxies makes it unlikely that every patient will experience all actions in the above format. Some may experience one or two actions, while others may not have to deal with any of them.

00:00:00] Hi community, this is doctor Hugh Wegwerth
[00:02:00] Floxed
[00:02:15] they put me on Bactrim, which is another antibiotic
[00:02:20] I was prescribed Levaquin
[00:02:45] it was it was crazy
[00:02:55] I had no energy to feed yourself.
[00:03:15] it was just such a shocker that what just suddenly happened
[00:03:50] struggle was the gut
[00:04:05] And I literally I lost like 17 pounds
[00:04:25] panic attack before
[00:04:35] confusion
[00:04:40] you probably heard this from every Floxed person went to like three different doctors.
[00:05:30] know, I'm not imagining this. This is happening with other people
[00:06:30] I really loved about for me and I think it's been a major part of even my healing with you is your attitude
[00:06:55] there is hope, like you say, there's hope
[00:07:10] I decided to go with the program
[00:08:10] But like nobody asked me to do those tests
[00:08:20] you also get clarity
[00:08:45] real and simple.
[00:09:15] gluten thing

[00:11:25] you're so vibrant
[00:11:50] I know. I remember telling you initially I had weird I had developed phobias
[00:12:00] would be like, I'm scared of travel.
[00:13:09] What to think about pain. Almost unthinkable pain
[00:13:15] ringing in your ears and stuff like that.
[00:13:45] It's like an earthquake kind of going on inside your body
[00:14:05] I don't have vibrations anymore. No cloudiness.
[00:14:30] no vibrations anymore
[00:14:46] Yeah. Wow. That's that almost makes you want to cry. Be honest with you.
I'm holding back tears
[00:14:55], there's so many people that are suffering needlessly that aren't getting the advice that they need.
[00:15:30] I still I just love you as a doctor
[00:15:40] somebody to guide
[00:16:05] I did a lot of stuff. I tried acupuncture, I tried energy healing. I mean, you don't know, like, I was going nuts and and I was like, please just help me find something that's going to help my condition.
[00:16:20] I'm a spiritual being, your spiritual person,
[00:16:40] The spirit, the power is in your body, heals your body. We just got to figure out what's interfering with that body's ability to heal and function.
[00:17:00] low blood, blood pressure
[00:17:15] you told me something really simple, like salt water
[00:17:45] this Floxed just have like so many issues
[00:17:50] so weird like and sometimes, you know, you, you just feel weird sensations throughout your body like you and you have no name for it. You're just like, I don't know.
[00:18:00] And that's why they think that they're crazy because you have so many weird neurological problems. They just say it's you're crazy here

- Mold reading of 25,000 on YouTube https://youtu.be/Wlq_2DnIp5c
In this episode, we talk about mold and its chronic inflammatory processes in the body.
Checking for Inflammatory Markers
[02:35]
One of the markers that Dr. Hugh checks is the C-reactive protein made by the liver.
It doesn't tell you why you're inflamed. Anything above lab range three tells you that you're at severe risk for cardiovascular disease and have chronic inflammation where your blood becomes thick.
[04:08]
Dr. Hugh's patient did all the conventional systems to rule out any bad stuff happening. The only solution in the system is drugs or surgery. All these medications and terrible lifestyle choices damage the body.
[04:32]
Other inflammatory markers include too much iron storage in the body, leading to organs rusting from inside out.
Mold Test
[05:14]
Testing for mold is essential. Mold has been on planet earth since the beginning of time. It has mechanisms to continue to live forever. It's a very clever pollutant and toxic to the body.
[05:54]
If you have any chronic condition, brain fog, brain fatigue, fibromyalgia, tendon problems, IBS Crohn's disease, you must rule out mold. Mold will cause havoc in everything because this causes chronic inflammatory processes.
[06:19]
Dr. Hugh discussed the simple way to check for mold is doing the urine test. The lab measures mold in your urine and finds out its source. If you have mold in your urine, you have mold in your blood.
[06:40]
Mold will cause systemic inflammation.
[07:04]
The mold that's measured is Gliotoxin. The average amount should be less than 200.
When mold sits in your gut, it allows harmful bacteria and yeast to grow.
Yeast[08:05]
Yeast produces alcohol as a byproduct. It causes brain fog and brain fatigue.
[08:34]
If you have mold in your gut, it allows yeast to grow out of control and produce alcohol. You get brain fog, brain fatigue, and chronic inflammation that affect your mitochondria.
Poly Therapy Approach
[08:59]
People are not taking into account a polytherapy approach. Dr. Hugh said that the body needs to be looked at as a whole.
[9:23]
Our body is designed to heal and function optimally. If you have a complex chronic condition, the better way to solve it is by a polytherapy approach.
Takeaway
[09:47]
If you are suffering from a chronic condition, you need to address them and do a mold check through a urine test.
[10:14]
Eliminate mold from the body and find the source. There needs to be some essential investigation into where's the mold coming from.
[10:58]
Those mold spores go throughout the entire house. It gets sucked in by your heating and cooling system throughout your house. You're breathing this every day.

In this episode, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth talks about Mitochondria and Intermittent Fasting. He answers the question of how intermittent fasting relates to our mitochondria. He discusses the importance of intermittent fasting and why we should include it in our lifestyle.
The Powerhouse of the Cell
[0:34]
A person has anywhere between 500 and 2000 mitochondria in each individual cell. This is why mitochondria are very critical because not only is it for energy production, but it's also for cell communication.
A Traditional Father
[1:00]
Dr. Hugh pursued a healthcare professional because his father died of medical errors. His father died a premature death at 69 years old, weighing 420 pounds and on 14 medications. His father came from a traditional family where dads always know everything, and the sun is always below them. His father taught him great ethics, and he loved his father dearly, but unfortunately, he died in the system.
Dr. Huge
[1:37]
When Dr. Hugh was 14 years old, he lost 80 pounds. His nickname was "Huge," derived from his first name Hugh. He then decided to change his life, and within six months, he lost 80 pounds.
Intermittent Fasting
[2:23]
Humans are doing intermittent fasting for thousands of years because we are forced to do it. Our bodies are accustomed to intermittent fasting, and our bodies love doing it because it kills our weak mitochondria.
[3:02]
When we do intermittent fasting, the weak mitochondria, which maybe have poor cell membranes, poor DNA function, or are not working on all eight cylinders, are recognized by the body, and they just die.
[3:39]
Once the weak mitochondria die, a process called Autophagy occurs, and the proteins and resources in those dead mitochondria are then consumed by healthy mitochondria. The weak ones are consuming and using up resources, but the energy it's producing is not very good quality.
[4:10]
Let's put more faith in our body's healing ability than intelligence within our body. This is an intelligent mechanism where God designed us with an incredible healing mechanism very intelligent. No medicine man will ever be able to know the intelligence in our body. When we're fasting, that's when these weak mitochondria come to the forefront.
The 80's Craze
[5:15]
The 80s craze was low fat. It was replaced with sugar, but at the end of the day, fat makes everything taste good. When the fat was eliminated, it was replaced with sugar on all the food there was.
What happens when you consume sugary products is your glucose goes up, and a hormone called insulin goes up, and those bathe your cells in inflammation.
6 Small Meals per Day
Even in the 2000s, they tell you that fats are going to kill you, but in reality, fat does not kill you. Healthy fats are what you need. Bad fats l

In this episode, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth DC, passionate about functional medicine and functional neurology with over two decades of herbal medicine experience, remains committed to a holistic approach to wellness treatments for his patients and has traveled worldwide to acquire a high level of expertise that surpasses conventional medicine. Today, Dr. Hugh talks about iron and its importance, especially to women, and how solutions for this problem must be created.
Ferritin Status
[00:50]
Dr. Hugh explained how a person's ferritin level is not prioritized enough in the conventional system despite its importance in people's red blood cells and oxygen delivery.
[01:04]
There are thirteen different iron panels examined to study a person's iron status. However, in the conventional system, Dr. Hugh affirmed that these tests are irrelevant if no treatment is done.
[02:20]
In functional medicine, the sweet spot pertains to a ferritin marker between 40 to 80 with a lab range of 20 to 200.
[02:53]
Ferritin is an iron marker stored in a specific location, such as the heart, liver, pancreas, or muscles. Dr. Hugh believes that it is important to get the Ferritin marker checked. It is simple and checks for the possibility that symptoms, such as bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, are caused by low absorption of iron.
Sub Optimal Status
[05:05]
Iron markers at the low range or if a person has sub-optimal iron status means no optimum oxygen delivery throughout the body.
[05:50]
Dr. Hugh doesn't encourage people to take iron supplements immediately after being diagnosed with low range markers. It can lead to being more sub-optimal iron status that could lead to full-blown and anemic condition.
Iron
[07:16]
The iron's role is to work as a magnet for the red blood cell to carry the oxygen throughout the body. However, if a person lacks iron, limited oxygen is delivered to the brain, which can cause brain fog or brain fatigue.
Importance of Ferritin Tests
[10:11]
Dr. Hugh advocates addressing every marker to find a solution and avoid a patient's long-term suffering.

In this episode, we have invited Dr. Hugh Wegwerth DC, a passionate doctor for functional medicine and functional neurology. Today, Dr. Hugh provides information on brain inflammation and different levels of neurological symptoms.
Brain Neuro Inflammation
[01:24]
Dr. Hugh states that trembling, tremors, or balance problems may be neurological symptoms of brain inflammation and are often missed in the conventional system. However, he affirms that having these symptoms are not signs of mental illness but should still be analyzed to start brain rehab.
Subtle Inflammation
[02:44]
He can diagnose neurological symptoms into three categories which are subtle, moderate, and severe.
[02:56]
Subtle brain inflammation may include weird pain symptoms such as pain in the elbow, ankle, and then to the back, or it sometimes can scatter all over the body. The science behind this activity is that the brain does not control receptors for pain. Dr. Hugh includes hazy thoughts, longer processing of information, and slow recall as subtle neuro inflammation signs.
[03:57]
A particular chemical, food, scent, or pollutants can be a trigger to brain inflammation. These changes are crucial in detecting whether a person has inflammation and a blood-brain barrier that needs fixing.
Moderate Inflammation
[05:37]
Dr. Hugh studied different materials and worked on different cases to learn more about brain inflammation. He is certain that depression, inability to concentrate for long periods and fatigue even after a long period of rest are signs of moderate brain inflammation, not fatigue.
Severe Inflammation
[06:42]
With severe neuroinflammation cases, signs of tremors, trembling, and involuntary muscle twitching are observed. Other symptoms are changes in personality and behavior, difficulty speaking, and in other cases, coma. Individuals must address Neuroinflammation immediately as it affects a person’s frontal lobe. With a damaged frontal lobe, a person may have difficulty reasoning and analyzing, affecting motor skills, and may have difficulty dealing with complex problems and analyzing emotions and expressions.
Solutions
[07:46]
Dr. Hugh offers solutions by arranging a visit if a person suspects inflammation of the brain.

In this episode of True Health Recovery, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth will discuss the significance of fish oil in our bodies. He sheds light on the truthful piece of information about the components of our body and how we can maintain its health.
Unexplained Healing Power
[00:27]
Dr. Hugh believes that our body was designed with cells that have amazing healing power. It has a spiritual component and force that help the body heal better.
Major Components
[01:34]
Fish oil is made up of Omega-3 fatty acids called EPA and DHA. These fatty acids are critical components that form the cell membrane and mitochondria in our body.
Understanding the Body and Fish Oil
[05:15]
Our body is composed of 100 trillion cells in every cell membrane. It is composed majorly of healthy fatty acids.
[05:58]
Fish Oil is a combination of EPA and DHA that are essential in maintaining the cell membrane.
[06:26]
Dr. Hugh discusses that if we don't take fish oil, and we have been flocked, damaged, or have chronic digestive issues, our cells aren't flexible and become very crusty and hard. The Omega-3 in the fish oil causes the cells to be fluid and move.
Cell Saturation
[06:56]
Dr. Hugh recommended taking up to 5 tablespoons of fish oil a day to help the cells to be fluid. When the cells are saturated and in a fluid state, toxins are eliminated from our bodies. This oil helps in detoxification because they make the pathways run normally.
Nerve Cell
[08:17]
Dr. Hugh discussed that our nerves are wrapped around the myelin sheath which is made up of fat protein and Omega-3. It’s important to take enough fats in our body to maintain the health of the nerves.
Poly Therapy Approach
[08:53]
Dr. Hugh suggested that we must have an approach to look closely into our bodies. It’s not just about taking fats, but we must understand our body and its problem to handle them well.

He covers mold in your gut, mold testing, candida, yeast, mold spores, side effects that can be caused by mold, how to check to see if you have mold and how C difficile and oxalates are all related to mold. If left unchecked mold can lead to many different health problems ranging from digestive issues to diet to depression, many of which can be severe and persistent and often go misdiagnosed or undiagnosed.
Topics Covered
· What is Mold? Why get checked for mold?
· How mold exposure affects the body
· Mold testing
· Difference between bacteria and yeast
· How do C Difficle and oxalates relate to mold?
· Examples of mold exposure and problems it can cause
Key Quotes
· “In my opinion everybody needs to be checked for mold.” (2:49)
· “You won't get well if you don't realize that you have a mold problem and you handle your mold.” (3:26)
· “Mold, if you have mold, your gut is completely trashed, so let me say that again, if you have mold, your gut is completely destroyed.” (4:22)
· “Spores are very, very resistant to many, many things.. the mold has been here way, way longer than human beings and the mold has developed survival instincts that are almost impossible to eradicate and kill. (6:33)
· “What happens when you have mold exposure? Candida runs crazy, which is yeast. Candida in your gut is on a rampage. It starts to grow and grow and grow and grow, because grows in in an environment that's very weak and doesn't have a lot of good bacteria.” (14:47)
· “So when someone comes to me, I think what are we going to do different, right? You probably went to the doctor and they do the same old freaking labs, blood labs that you've done 100 times. Well, you don't need to do it the same way. You don't need to check sodium 10 times to know that that's not the problem. You don't need to check whatever they're checking CBC or whatever. You need to do different labs to get different data.” (19:28)
· “The biggest difference between a yeast and bacteria is the yeast has a nucleus and bacteria does not.” (24:07)
· “So then is the mold in the current situation or is it a past marker and some of the stuff you don't really know. You got to kind of treat and figure.” (29:11)

In this episode, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth talks about everything we need to know about magnesium, IV magnesium drip, what magnesium does in our body, and the critical protocols we need to consider before taking magnesium into our bodies. If you are suffering from any kind of chronic condition or just want to generally improve your lifestyle, this episode is for you. Stay tuned!
The Importance of Magnesium
[3:17]
Magnesium regulates calcium. It helps relax muscles. It's in energy production and it's required for over 300 energy production reactions.
Energy Reactions in Your Body
[3:36]
If you've been floxed, it damages the mitochondria, fluoroquinolones, DNA, and affects your ability to produce ATP.
[3:44]
If your ability to produce ATP is blocked, you're going to have lots of problems when it comes to recovering, regulating heart tractability, and relaxing smooth muscle.
[4:05]
Your energy production has been severely damaged due to the fluoroquinolones and the DNA has been damaged and inability to produce energy.
Magnesium Deficiency
[4:57]
Magnesium deficiency is having too much calcium to come into the cell. When calcium rushes into your cell, it causes your cell to contract.
[5:12]
Women need to stop taking calcium. Women are over calcified. Calcium is not your problem. It's if you're inflamed, then you're going to have osteoporosis. Balance between magnesium and calcium should occur in your cells.
Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency
[5:30]
These are all the symptoms of magnesium deficiency: headaches, nervousness, jumpiness, migraines, cramps, muscle pain, heart problems, GI problems, nausea, vomiting, urinary tract cramps, tingling, and numbness.
How Chemistry Works in Your Cells
[6:33]
Every cell in your body has roughly between 502,000 mitochondria, specifically to produce energy. So in each cell, there's literally 2000 of these mitochondria to produce energy.
[6:53]
All this magnesium needs to get in and start producing energy in the mitochondria. And that's where energy is produced.
[7:01]
Magnesium is needed for the cell to start reproducing its own DNA. You can see that the magnesium is very critical when it comes to your body.
Magnesium Glycinate
[8:26]
You want to take anywhere from one to seven scoops per day. The only side effect of taking it is loose stools. Put a scoop in the way then for three or four hours you sip this with the magnesium slowly. Why is it critical? It is because of the nutrients you get from the drinking magnesium glycinate. You can also add some flavoring into the water like lemons or any vitamin C emergency packet.
[9:40]
Then you do the same thing in the afternoon. One scoop, put your flavor in or just just drink it with water and then at night you do the same thing. What's happening here is you're providing your mitochondria with a constant flow of magnesium.

In today’s episode we will be talking about Mitochondria, how it works and function, go in depth on it and know how it affects your brain and how you can get better.
How it works
[1:05]
This drug goes for the DNA of the bacteria. This the new classification of these medications of fluoroquinolones, they work in a whole different mechanism, they actually affect the bacterial DNA.
[2:21]
The DNA of the bacteria is its blue print the new mechanism directly attacks this bacterium and destroys the whole thing.
Mitochondria
[2:37]
Mitochondria is the power house of the cell, it does a lot of intercellular communication.
[5:05]
Within one single cell, one single nerve cell, you have one nucleus with all your human DNA. And then within that one cell you have anywhere between 15 to 2000 mitochondria.
Fluoroquinolones Toxicity
[5:43]
It goes after the DNA and affects DNA replication.
[7:00]
When you take these antibiotics, it completely destroys your mitochondria because it gets in the mitochondria. And then it sees all it sees all this DNA replication. It's not going to produce energy optimally; it's not going to die.
Effect
[7:57]
This is why you go to the doctor and you can have all these weird symptoms, neurological symptoms, Achilles tendon problems, brain fog, brain fatigue, fatigue, depersonalization, all these things can occur to you. Because it actually affects every single cell in your body that has mitochondria and within the mitochondria.

Carrie reached out to Dr. Hugh after all the tests given to him by his previous Doctors came out negative from certain issues. He changed his lifestyle, which made him better and healthier than he was ever before. Carrie will share his story on how he battled his condition and how it affected his body and mindset.
From Abdominal Pain to Floxed
[2:04]
Carrie was having some abdominal pain for weeks. He got it checked and was experiencing some pain. His urine sample came back cloudy, and he thought that there was some blood in his urine. The doctor believed that Carrie had a Prostate Issue.
[3:10]
Carrie was prescribed levofloxacin 750 milligrams per day for 10 days. When he took the third dose, he experienced weird symptoms where he felt anxious, and his heart was irregularly beating.
[4:00]

Carrie's experience with his medical treatment and condition
[4:50]
Carrie's symptoms were horrible. It was the worst he's ever felt. For Carrie, it was attacking his whole body at once. It included mental and emotional issues and having nervousness for no reason.
[5:19]
Carrie experienced a rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing. He was put in the COVID protocol because of his breathing problem. It was hard for him to catch his breath, and they scanned his chest to see if he was having a heart attack or anything, but the tests came out negative.
[5:55]
Carrie started to experience tingling in his body like pins and needles. His ankles were sore, and he experienced cranial pressure, fatigue, dizziness, and being disoriented. It was attacking his whole nervous system and just everything on his body.
[6:52]
Carrie couldn't sleep at all. His heart was racing, and he just couldn't relax enough to sleep.
Interfering with his work and lifestyle
[8:59]
Carrie needed to go and reach out. When it first happened in June, he was already experiencing the symptoms. Class was getting ready to start back for the fall, and he just couldn't focus and concentrate for longer than 10 minutes. It was exhausting, and his mind was foggy.
[9:40]
Carrie was really concerned because he couldn't even focus for longer than 10 to 15 minutes. It was exhausting for him, and he had difficulty concentrating on a task.
Reflection
[10:48]
Carrie reflected on the whole process. It had changed his entire lifestyle. He said that he was doing everything wrong and said that everybody should go through consultation and have expert guidance on how to fix their diet and see what's going on with their body.
[12:18]
For less than two months, Carrie changed his diet. He took the supplements h

In this episode, we have invited Tom, a brave person battling floxed condition. Under Dr. Hugh’s meticulous care, Tom is currently recovering at a steady rate prior to his careful medication. Today, Tom sheds light on the cruelty in the medical world and his resilience to free himself from the shackles of pain and suffering.
Dawn of Tragedy
Tom was involved in an accident at the end of January. A tree branch hit his head inflicting post-concussion syndrome and sinus infection—eventually ruptured his eardrums after four weeks.
He called his family doctor to diagnose his condition and was given a 10-day levofloxacin prescription. He was doing well until he experienced suffering worse than his concussion. He did the responsible thing to go to his family doctor’s office where he was diagnosed as bipolar—he was gaslighted.
Gaslighting is a psychological term where medical professional downplay your symptoms. Tom was not crazy but he was treated as such by the medical personnel. After an arduous defense about his personality for months, he concluded to not talk about any mental health issues with the medical community—he will be regarded as crazy if he does and it will be a glaring mark to his medical history.
Tom went to a doctor from a major university where she was able to alleviate some of his woes. He commended her job but it only went so far. He felt violated talking about her cognitive issues until he was able to find Dr. Hugh—now feeling a lot better.
Consequences[07:38]
Tom decided to have the power of attorney after he was diagnosed as bipolar. He felt defeated and he could not think clear.
[08:16]
Her wife was overtaxed with work and his condition. It was a stressful situation for both of them, emotionally and mentally. Tom ended up creating a poem—while laying in a dark room.
Lifestyle
[09:52]
Tom’s condition affected his business and personal life. As the months went by, Tom channeled a positive outlook where he made the decision to work towards a healthy lifestyle.
[12:42]
Having a huge plot of land, he went to hike and travel to numerous states. With the help of his friends, he became more productive and active daily.
Stability
[17:58]
Tom cancelled his appointment to a psychologist—he was doing better. He refrained from a psychologist because he does not want to be given another drug that would potentially make things worse. He was already happy and recovering with the assistance of a functional medicine doctor like Dr. Hugh.
[20:25]
With things moving at the right direction, Tom needs more time and he would be better than before the incident.
Spreading the Word
[23:49]
Tom advices to keep things going. Keep trying and don’t stop. Even though it was an uphill battle, Tom was glad that he did not stop. Set your goal and fulfill it!

In this episode, we have Dr. Hugh Wegwerth, a functional medicine doctor with over 20 years of clinical experience. His expansive knowledge is intended to assist people towards health recovery caused by chronic conditions. Today, Dr. Hugh elucidated the purpose of creating his podcast fueled by his inspiring life-history.
Obesity
[01:27]
At the age of 13, Dr. Hugh grew up with obesity. His parents were both obese in which his father died at the age of 69 years old—with only medication or surgery as an option.
[02:00]
Dr. Hugh wanted something to change. He was nicknamed as HUGE during his high school days coining from his name Hugh—because of his obese condition. He went to Boundary Waters where he was able to find a spiritual connection with his inner-self.
Change
[03:10]
Canoeing his way to lose weight, Dr. Hugh lost 10 pounds within three days.
[03:46]
He was also diagnosed with dyslexia, went to a special education but he was unmotivated to take care of his health until he found his inner self at the Boundary Waters.
[04:12]
He lost 80 pounds in six months and he never looked back—he found his quest to help as many people as possible.
Resist Temptation
[04:33]
Dr. Hugh’s inner demons tempt him to break his rhythm by telling his mind to unhealthily. It made him conscious of his thoughts and his actions.
Changing the System
[05:29]
For Dr. Hugh, the health system was not compassionate. It did not show the love, care and the truth that his father deserves.
[05:54]
He wanted his podcast to deliver truthful information that can help the people with chronic degenerative conditions.
[06:38]
He does not want people to end up like his father. Dr. Hugh is hopeful for everyone’s prosperity and healthy life through his podcast.
[07:10]
Our health is the most amazing doctor that God has given. Therefore, we should be taking care of it by figuring out the cause of malfunction.
