In this conversation, we zoom in on what standard care often misses: the toxins building up in your body and their effects on your gut, brain, and immune system long before a diagnosis ever appears.

Our guest, Dr. Tom O’Bryan, explains why autoimmunity and cognitive decline don’t start overnight and the early patterns for detection He also encourages how specialized tests like the Total Toxin Burden and Neuro Zoomer can uncover root causes that aren’t always obvious, especially when traditional labs come back “normal.”

Tune in to learn how functional medicine can help you identify what’s really driving your symptoms and what you can do about it.
