The other day, Dr. Lori Mae Janzen ND talked about what Mycotoxins are and why we should care about them... ...basically, they are toxic compounds made by Fungi that can be found in foods we eat or even hidden in our homes. Too much exposure to mycotoxins and our body will start to react. Today, Dr. Janzen shares what symptoms to watch for.... "Penicillin is made from mold and that’s been a pretty great discovery, right?! But, not all molds are equal - specific and damaging mycotoxins can really wreak havoc on our bodies! Symptoms can include: - Fatigue / Chronic fatigue - Allergic Reactions - Sensitization (increasing our sensitivity to them) - Asthma - Neurotoxicity > Damage to the brain / spinal cord / nerves in the body including Brain Fog! - Sinusitis & Nasal irritation (post nasal drip) - Fungal infections - Acute poisoning - High Blood Pressure - Depression - Anemia - Birth Defects & Miscarriages - Kidney toxicity - Disrupt Microbiome / Damage Flora of Gut - Immune Deficiency/ Suppression & Cancer etc. ...! Mycotoxin-related illness can be challenging to detect as there are so many varied symptomsbut, the GOOD NEWS is: We are increasingly aware of them, their impact and to look for them, we have screening tests available @NatureDoctors that identify some of the key mycotoxins. If mycotoxins are found in your body, there are several Treatment Solutions that can reduce their toxic effects and improve your health!! Talk to one of the Naturopathic Doctors at Nature Doctors to learn more.

Dr. Lori Mae Janzen ND breaks it down for us... "Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxic compounds made by Fungi (including molds, mushrooms and yeasts). We are ALL exposed to them in varying degrees but can have significant and damaging impacts depending on:... - Age - Nutrient status - How Significant or Frequent the Exposure - The Functional State of the Immune system (including whether there are already infectious diseases or other toxicants on board) - We can be exposed through physical contact (through the skin), by inhaling and ingesting them! Many types of molds naturally exist in the outdoors - but typically compete with one another to limit growth. INDOORS, with the right growing conditions (think MOISTURE or DAMPNESS!), even in hidden, out of sight spots, single strains of molds can grow unopposed - releasing their mycotoxins into your space! Certain foods you buy and store can also be a constant source of mycotoxin exposure! Too much mycotoxin exposure and it can wreak havoc on our bodies! In my next post, I will share with you a list of the common symptoms to watch out for." - Dr. Lori Mae Janzen ND @DrLoriMaeJanzenND Are you concerned that you may have had excessive mycotoxin exposure? The Nature Doctors has a screening test available to identify some of the key mycotoxins and several treatment solutions that can reduce their toxic effects and improve your health!

Gardening is good for the soul! Dr. Cory Storm ND, is such a good gardener, we asked her to share some of her gardening tips with us. Here are her top 5: 1. Compost and incorporate other organic matter into your soil (leaf litter, untreated grass clippings) on a regular basis. By nurturing and supporting development of healthy soil in addition to your plants, you are boosting the nutrition of food grown in your garden, and helping support sustainability of your local ecosys...tem. Great for the environment! 2. Don’t clean up leaf litter or dried out flower stalks from last season too early - many important creatures like ladybugs and bees use those places to hibernate and they don't come out until the weather warms up! Support our pollinators! 3. Buy organic seeds and purchase live plants that have not been treated with neonicotinoid insecticides, as more and more research indicates these chemicals may present a grave risk to our pollinators. 4. Consider creating an edible garden, and mix up some prairie native plants with your veggies- supporting prairie biodiversity can be fun and beautiful- and it is important work! 5. Some great local resources for exploring are: Sage Garden Greenhouses Fort Whyte Alive and their Naturescape Backyard Certification Program Living Prairie Museum (don't forget their walking trails) Prairie Originals - Native Prairie Plants and Seeds.
