From “chronic Lyme” and MCAS to autism, autoimmunity, and unexplained neurological symptoms, mycotoxins are an often‑missed root cause. Drawing on decades of experience and published research, Andrew Campbell, MD, outlines the most common presentations of toxic mold exposure and why serum mycotoxin antibody testing is more reliable than urine testing.
Summer patients face a perfect storm of UV exposure, intense exercise, insect bites, and heat‑driven oxidative stress. This clinical review explains how the endocannabinoid system orchestrates inflammatory resolution and how CBD and beta‑caryophyllene—working through FAAH, TRPV1, and CB2—can support skin health, sports recovery, and acute inflammatory reactions in integrative practice.
Even acknowledging the potential benefits of carnivore and keto diets for some conditions, it’s hard to ignore the extensive meta-analytic evidence linking higher fiber intake with better health outcomes. For most people, increasing fiber intake is a low-risk change with considerable potential upside.
Discover clinical applications of curcumin, saffron & lemon balm for treating the SAD cycle. Research-backed protocols to help patients break free from chronic stress and depression naturally.
While lifestyle changes are important, compliance can be challenging, and other strategies like targeted supplements can help manage oxidative stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance. Notably, this article includes several meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the effects of various nutrients on MASLD, providing a robust synthesis of the available evidence. Enhanced efficacy is seen when these therapies are paired with a Mediterranean diet and other healthy lifestyle changes.
Systemic lupus erythematosus does not emerge randomly in patients carrying latent EBV. In this Part 2 of our Systems Homeostasis series, we trace how EBNA2-driven B cell reprogramming, the IFN-I amplification loop, and depleted “circuit breakers” such as IL‑10, Tregs, DNase activity, and antioxidant capacity converge to determine disease expression and treatment response. Clinicians gain a practical framework for reading IFN-I signatures and upstream signal environment data long before full diagnostic criteria are met.
Join functional medicine pioneer Dr. Tom O’Bryan, DC, CCN, DACBN, CIFM, as he shares breakthrough research, clinical strategies, and functional medicine frameworks to understand, diagnose, and effectively address the complex pathology of endotoxin exposure and its impacts on health span, longevity, and clinical outcomes. In today’s age, patients are presentingRead
Dr. Andrew Campbell — clinical immunologist, toxicologist, and author of 100+ peer-reviewed studies — joins host Rob Lutz to discuss the under-recognized epidemic of mycotoxin illness. From autism and MS to Alzheimer’s and Crohn’s disease, mycotoxins masquerade as conditions practitioners treat daily. Dr. Campbell outlines his evidence-based six-month protocol —Read
What if “supporting the immune system” isn’t enough? In this thought-provoking episode, a panel of integrative practitioners explores how to move beyond short-term immune support toward lasting immune resilience-the body’s capacity to adapt, recover, and maintain balance through life’s physical and emotional stressors. Join us as we unpack the keyRead
Autoimmune diseases continue to rise, but groundbreaking evidence from the VITAL study offers hope for prevention. Published in The BMJ, this large-scale trial of over 25,000 older adults found that vitamin D3 supplementation (2,000 IU/day) reduced autoimmune disease risk by 22%, with effects strengthening to 39% after two years of use. Marine omega-3s (1g/day) showed additional protective benefits, especially in patients with family history. For integrative practitioners, these findings validate long-standing protocols using familiar, safe doses of vitamin D and fish oil as foundational autoimmune prevention strategies in patients over 50.
