Causes of Complex Chronic Illness
Dr. Becca is the medical detective who can help identify the root causes of your complex symptoms and create a systematic approach to healing each interconnected system with the support they need.
Mold Exposure
Environmental mold exposure can have catastrophic effects throughout every body system. Mold toxins cause massive inflammation and cell damage, impair normal function, and trigger a danger signal in the body. Resolving mold exposure and mold toxicity is necessity when healing chronic illness.
Gut Dysbiosis
Dysbiosis is the wrong type or the wrong amount of microbes (bacteria, fungus, parasites, viruses) in the gut. This triggers inflammation, immune reactivity, and digestive symptoms and is often underlying chronic illness. Rebalancing a healthy microbiome is foundational to the healing process.
Chronic Infections
When the body is under high stress and stuck in survival physiology, the immune system becomes suppressed. Without a well functioning immune system, opportunistic microbes thrive under the radar and become chronic, wreaking havoc on the body. Identifying and treating these infections is key.
Survival Physiology
If you are stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, your nervous system prioritizes survival and tells the body not to worry about normal function until it knows it is safe. Over enough time, this leads to chronic illness. It is imperative to build resiliency and discover a felt sense of safety so that you can heal.
Immune Dysfunction
Triggered by survival physiology, toxic burden, leaky gut, inflammatory foods, Lyme disease, and especially mold exposure, immune dysfunction leads to widespread inflammation, autoimmune diseases, chronic infections, chronic fatigue, and pain. Immune modulation is a vital necessity for healing.
Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Mitochondria are the energy power houses inside each cell. Toxicity, survival physiology, chronic infections, and nutrient deficiencies can impair normal mitochondrial function via the cell danger response. Healthy mitochondria are crucial for proper cell function and health.
Toxic Burden
Daily toxic exposure via food, air, soil, and in our homes and can surpass our body's ability to detox, accumulating in the body. This is magnified in the context of nutrient deficiencies, mold exposure, survival physiology, and chronic infections. Supporting detox and elimination is critical to healing.
Leaky Gut
70% of the immune system resides in the gut, constantly surveying what comes into the body. Gut inflammation breaks down the gut lining, exposing our immune system to foods, microbes, and toxins, triggering immune reactions that affect every body system. Repairing gut integrity is an important healing step.
Hormone Imbalances
Stress, toxicity, systemic inflammation, and endocrine disrupting chemicals impairs the ability of our endocrine glands to keep up with the demands for hormones. Thyroid disorders, adrenal dysfunction, and sex hormone imbalances complicate chronic illness and must be addressed.
