Trust me, you're not alone. These days, living with health symptoms has become the unfortunate norm.
Most people just learn to live with their health issues, accepting them without questioning why there hasn't been more progress in medical research. But more and more often, these symptoms begin to seriously affect people's quality of life, stripping away the joys and freedoms they once took for granted. They find themselves part of a "hidden army" of sufferers, possibly confined to their homes or even hospitalized, as they bounce from one doctor to another, losing hope and their spark along the way.
The truth is, no one is immune to health issues. Given what we face in today's world and its impact on our bodies, it's possible that anyone could suddenly start showing symptoms out of the blue.
That's where Dr. Hugh Wegwerth D.C. comes in. Join him in his enlightening podcast as he shares groundbreaking, ahead-of-the-curve medical insights that millions around the globe are already using to heal and conquer chronic illnesses. But a heads-up: if you prefer to stay in the dark about these issues, then this podcast might not be for you.

In today’s episode, Dr. Hugh dives into essential tests that can make a difference if you’re struggling with chronic illness. If you’ve been on a healing journey but haven’t seen the results you want after 6 to 8 weeks, these advanced tests could reveal critical insights. Here’s what we cover:
- Why Advanced Testing?
For those who haven’t seen progress in their healing, advanced tests can uncover hidden toxins, including mold, heavy metals, and environmental pollutants. - Blood vs. Urine Tests:
Learn why testing through urine can be up to 1,000 times more effective at detecting toxins than blood samples. Dr. Hugh explains how toxins often accumulate in organs, and urine testing helps reveal what’s really going on. - What the Tests Cover:
- Mold & Mycotoxins: High levels of mold toxins can prevent recovery. Dr. Hugh explains how mycotoxins, or toxic substances produced by mold, can impact your health.
- Heavy Metals: Tests identify harmful metals like aluminum and tungsten that can stay in the body and affect health.
- Environmental Pollutants: From plastics to pesticides, these pollutants can disrupt the body’s natural balance. Find out how daily exposures impact long-term health.
- Real-World Case Study:
Dr. Hugh shares a case of a client who was stuck in her recovery until these tests revealed high levels of toxins. With this insight, they tailored a plan to detoxify and support her healing. - The Importance of Specific Functional Medicine:
Dr. Hugh emphasizes that many chronic illness cases need specific, personalized care—general treatments may not address the root issues. Advanced testing can be a vital step for those looking to fully heal.
If you’re on a healing path and feel stuck, tune in to learn how advanced testing might be the key to unlocking your recovery.

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)

Why The Cost of Labs Seems So high
When 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.
Understanding Mitochondria and Fluoroquinolone Toxicity

What Are Mitochondria and How Fluoroquinolones Affect Them
Check 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.
