In this episode, Dr. Hugh Wegwerth dives deep into the truth about osteoporosis—and why it’s not just about weak bones.

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.

In this episode, Dr. Hugh shares a powerful story about mold recovery.

see the labs https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/mold-of-5700-to-zero-in-9-months-see-4-follow-up-tests

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.
