About this listen

In this episode of The Good Life Health Podcast, I share the deeply personal journey that led me to fully embrace functional medicine—not just as a practitioner, but as a patient. When my wife Meg and I were trying to get pregnant and nothing was working, I started experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight gain, depression, and digestive issues… all while doing everything right. What we didn’t realize at the time was that our apartment was filled with toxic mold—and that exposure was affecting both of our hormones and fertility.

Through functional medicine testing and a targeted detox protocol, we addressed mold toxicity, regulated our systems, and, within weeks of finishing our protocol, Meg got pregnant. This episode is about how getting to the real root cause can truly change lives—and why I believe this is the future of healthcare.
