How do we approach environmental toxicity?

At Medical Transformation Center, we offer testing for the presence of toxins as well as the body’s ability to control an inflammatory response to those toxins. From there, our providers create a treatment plan that targets the cause as opposed to just the symptoms, afterwards focusing on recovery of function. Since no two people or conditions are the same, each Personal Transformation Plan is customized based on your ailment and needs.

How can I be exposed to mold?

Mold can be found both indoors and outdoors. It is commonly found in warm damp areas with high humidity levels. Typical places can be piles of cut grass or shrubs. It can also occur if damp places such as bathrooms are not properly ventilated.

Mold often grows after flooding or water intrusion. Whether a single room or the whole house was flooded, mold can grow if the area is not properly cleaned and dried. This can also be the case with water leaks through the ceilings and the walls. If you believe your house has mold, be sure to have an expert come out and inspect it before you experience symptoms from mold exposure.

What can I do after I’ve been exposed to mold?

If you think you’ve been exposed to mold, the most important thing is to first find out where it is coming from!

We will begin a targeted detox protocol, flushing the mold toxins from your system.
