23. Hype or Hope? How to Spot Mold Misinformation with Mike Schrantz
dimanche 17 mai 2026 • Durée 38:47
If you've ever Googled "mold illness treatment" at midnight, desperate for answers, you already know how overwhelming it gets. The supplements, the sprays, the lab reports with pages of frightening health warnings, it can feel like you're drowning in information and still no closer to knowing what to actually do. This conversation is for you.
Dr. Mark Su sits down again with Mike Schrantz, IEP, the environmental professional he trusts most when it comes to what's actually happening inside the buildings where his patients live. Together they walk through real examples of mold-related products, lab reports, and remediation methods, and call it straight: hype or hope.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
Why some popular "mold and mycotoxin cleanse" supplements don't contain the one thing that actually matters for mycotoxin removal, and what to look for instead.
How mycotoxin lab reports can overwhelm and even harm patients when the data is delivered without context, and what responsible interpretation actually looks like.
The critical difference between killing mold and physically removing it, and why one of those approaches is widely accepted by the EPA and the other is not.
Why AI-generated health information about mold illness may be making things worse, not better, and what to do instead of relying on it alone.
How to slow down, ask better questions, and find a trusted professional before spending money on something that won't move the needle.
Key Insights:
One of the most important things Dr. Mark and Mike cover in this episode is the gap between a product's name and what it actually does. When a supplement calls itself a "mold and mycotoxin cleanse" but contains no binding agents, which are the compounds clinicians actually use to help the body clear fungal toxins, that name is doing a lot of work it hasn't earned. Neither Dr. Mark nor Mike dismiss these companies as bad actors. They simply ask the question every patient deserves to ask: where is the data, and does the ingredient list match the claim?
The mycotoxin lab report conversation is one of the most important in this episode. Mike describes working with clients who receive pages of alarming health information alongside their results, things like carcinogenic effects, developmental risks, organ concerns, without any framing around what those findings mean for them specifically.

22. Pharmaceuticals vs. Supplements: What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You
Épisode 22
dimanche 10 mai 2026 • Durée 08:30
If you've ever stood in the supplement aisle wondering whether any of it actually works, or sat across from a doctor who handed you a prescription without explaining why, this conversation is for you.
The question of pharmaceuticals versus supplements comes up constantly in functional medicine, and the honest answer is more nuanced than most people expect. In this episode, Dr. Mark Su breaks down the real-world comparison between prescription medications and natural supplements, not from a place of dogma, but from years of clinical experience working with patients who are navigating both worlds at the same time.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
Why pharmaceuticals often offer more predictability in the short term, and what that actually means for your treatment plan.
Why treating a single condition with supplements frequently requires multiple products and higher pill counts than most people anticipate.
How the cost and practicality of a supplement protocol can quietly become its own barrier to healing.
What "polypharmacy" means, why it applies to supplement stacks just as much as prescriptions, and why it matters for chronic illness patients.
How Dr. Mark approaches the pharma versus non-pharma decision for individual patients, and why there is no one-size-fits-all answer.
About Dr. Mark Su:
Dr. Mark Su is an integrative and functional medicine physician and the founder of RootSeek Health. He works with patients who have spent years searching for answers to complex chronic illness, and he built his practice around the belief that real healing starts with finding the root cause, not just managing symptoms. His approach draws from both conventional and natural medicine, using whatever tools best serve each patient.
Key Insights:
One of the most practical realities Dr. Mark addresses in this episode is pill burden. When a patient chooses a supplement-based approach for a condition like high blood pressure, they may need two or three different products, often at multiple doses per day, to match the effect of a single pharmaceutical. That's not a reason to dismiss supplements. It's simply information that helps patients make informed, realistic decisions about their own care.
21: How to Choose Supplements You Can Actually Trust, with Leah Habjan
You've probably stood in a supplement aisle, or scrolled past an influencer ad, and thought, I have no idea if any of this actually works. Maybe you've spent real money on things that did nothing. Maybe your doctor shrugged when you asked. That confusion is not a personal failing. It's the supplement industry doing exactly what an under-regulated industry tends to do, and today we're pulling back the curtain on all of it.
In this conversation, I sit down with Leah Habjan, a nutraceutical industry educator with OrthoMolecular Products, someone I genuinely trust because she leads with research, not a sales pitch. We talk about what separates a quality nutraceutical from a generic supplement, how to read a label without a science degree, and why the phrase "expensive urine" only applies when the product wasn't worth taking in the first place.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
Not all supplements are created equal, and the difference between a dietary supplement and a professional nutraceutical comes down to formulation quality, therapeutic dosing, and whether the company has actually done the research to back what's in the bottle.
You can identify a trustworthy supplement company without being a scientist. Look for products that link to clinical references, not just marketing claims, and watch for proprietary blends that hide what's actually in them and at what dose.
Some ingredients now sold as supplements were once available only as prescriptions, and understanding that history changes how you think about what functional medicine has access to.
The form of a nutrient matters as much as the nutrient itself. If you're a poor methylator, taking a B vitamin that isn't in its methylated form may do very little, no matter how reputable the brand looks on the outside.
Finding someone you trust to help navigate supplement quality, whether that's a functional medicine physician, a knowledgeable health coach, or a credentialed industry professional, is one of the most protective things you can do for your health and your wallet.
Leah Habjan is a nutraceutical industry educator with OrthoMolecular Products whose passion for health started long before her career did. Raised by a mom who was reading about food quality and organic sourcing decades before it was mainstream, Leah went on to study biology with the goal of becoming a healthcare provider, and eventually found her place at the intersection of clinical nutrition and physician education.
20: Hair Loss, Peptides, and Taking Ownership of Your Health with Luigi
If you've ever walked out of a doctor's office feeling like you were handed a prescription instead of an answer, you're not alone. That rushed, "here's a pill, see you later" experience is something a lot of people are navigating right now, and it leaves you with more questions than when you walked in. This week, Dr. Mark Sue sits down with Luigi, a sharp, self-advocating young guy in his twenties who came with a handful of real, relatable health questions and a whole lot of healthy skepticism.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
Why the conventional healthcare system is designed around speed, not depth, and what you can actually do about it as a patient to get more out of your visits.
How to think about hair loss in your twenties, what's worth exploring naturally first, and when a pharmaceutical approach might actually make sense.
What peptides really are, why BPC-157 and Thymosin Alpha-1 keep coming up in wellness circles, and the honest limitations even functional medicine practitioners face when recommending them.
Why the "all natural vs. all pharma" debate is a false choice, and how finding the gray zone between the two leads to smarter, more sustainable health decisions.
How taking ownership of the basics, sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, and hydration, is still the most powerful thing you can do before reaching for any compound or supplement.
About Luigi:
Luigi is a young guy in his twenties living in the Katy area who takes his health seriously and asks the kind of questions a lot of people are thinking but not saying out loud. He came on the podcast after a frustrating dermatology visit sparked a broader conversation about self-advocacy, the healthcare system, and what it really means to take care of yourself. His perspective is refreshingly grounded, curious, and honest.
Key Insights:
The experience Luigi described at the dermatologist's office, walking in with a question and walking out with a lifetime prescription before he could even finish filling out the paperwork, isn't an isolated story. Dr. Mark breaks down why that happens. When a single practitioner is seeing 40 or more patients a day, the math just doesn't leave room for nuance. That's not an excuse, it's context. And knowing that context helps you prepare better questions before you walk in the door.
19: Alcohol, Self-Awareness, and Root Cause Health: A Real Conversation with Dr. Su & MaryJo
Ready to find out what's actually going on in your body? Book a consult at rootseekhealth.com.
What does alcohol have to do with functional medicine?
More than you might think.
In this episode, Dr. Mark Su sits down with patient and guest MaryJo for one of the most honest, human conversations the Functional Medicine Reality Podcast has had yet. No agenda, no judgment, just two people peeling back a topic that comes up in almost every social setting, yet rarely gets talked about with any real depth.
MaryJo has been sober for ten years. Her journey away from alcohol didn't start with a dramatic rock bottom, it started quietly, with her body telling her something wasn't right. When she was deep in her Lyme disease journey and fighting to feel well again, anything that wasn't helping her heal had to go. Alcohol was one of the first things out the door. And looking back, that clarity, that decision to listen to her body, was one of the most powerful things she did for herself.
Dr. Su brings his own honest reflection too, including his own gradual shift away from alcohol, the growing conversation he's having with patients about it, and why he thinks this topic belongs squarely in the root cause medicine conversation.
Because here's the thing, functional medicine isn't just about your labs. It's about your whole life.
4 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Root cause goes deeper than symptoms. Alcohol use is often a form of self-medication, sometimes for anxiety, ADD, stress, or emotional pain that hasn't been addressed yet. When the root cause gets treated, alcohol often stops being such a pull.
Your body has been giving you signals all along. MaryJo knew from her teenage years that alcohol never quite served her. That quiet internal knowing, when you finally listen to it, can be the beginning of real change.
Sobriety doesn't have to be a dramatic story. Some people don't drink because it genuinely doesn't add to their life. That's a valid, even inspiring, path, and it doesn't require a crisis to get there.

Episode Overview
Mold. It's one of those words that makes people freeze, panic, or reach for their wallet before they even know what they're dealing with.
In this episode of the Functional Medicine Reality Podcast, Dr. Mark Su sits down with Michael Schrantz, Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) and founder of Environmental Analytics, for a real, unscripted conversation with an anonymous patient, referred to here as Richie, kept anonymous to protect his family's privacy.
Richie's adult son has been dealing with unexplained neurological symptoms, including brain fog, nerve pain, joint pain, and emotional health changes, for over a year. Testing pointed toward mold mycotoxin exposure, which led the family to investigate their home. What they found was a lot of competing information, wildly different remediation estimates, and the very human question: where do I even start?
This episode is raw, real, and incredibly useful if you've ever felt overwhelmed by the mold conversation, whether you're dealing with it right now or trying to understand what it could mean for your health.
4 Key Takeaways
DIY mold removal can make things worse. Cutting out drywall without proper containment can spread mold spores and mycotoxins to other areas of your home. Knowing this upfront changes how your IEP interprets your test results.
Big price differences in remediation quotes don't always mean one company is wrong. They often reflect different scopes of work. Knowing what's included (and what's not, like HVAC cleaning and small particle cleaning) is everything.
You don't have to do it all at once. A sequenced, staged approach to remediation is valid, but the order matters. Clean the ductwork before you clean the house, not after. Working with a qualified IEP to plan the sequence can save you time, money, and re-exposure.
17. Statin Side Effects, Muscle Pain, and Brain Fog: How to Make a Smarter Cholesterol Decision
Saison 1 · Épisode 16
dimanche 5 avril 2026 • Durée 20:31
What if the knee pain you've been blaming on age is actually a statin side effect?
That's a question worth sitting with. And it's one of the reasons I wanted to do this episode, because I see this pattern in real people, in real conversations, all the time. Someone's been on a statin for a few years. They're moving less, feeling foggy, their joints ache. And when they bring it up, they're told it's just part of getting older.
It doesn't have to be that way.
In this episode, I walk you through what I consider to be an honest, grounded framework for thinking about cholesterol treatment — not from fear, and not from hype. We talk about why statin side effects like muscle pain, fatigue, and brain fog happen at a biological level, what the research actually shows about the diabetes signal, and how the risk picture for a 55-year-old with a complex history is completely different from a healthy 25-year-old with a flagged LDL number.
We also get into the smarter data — apoB, lipoprotein(a), oxidized LDL, coronary calcium scoring — because a standard lipid panel alone doesn't always tell the full story.
By the end, you'll have a real decision-making process you can actually use: define your risk profile, know your risk appetite, gather better information when it's needed, trial thoughtfully, and pay attention to both how you feel and what your labs show.
No absolutes. No fear-mongering. Just clarity.
As always, nothing here is medical advice or a diagnosis. These are recommendations and frameworks to support your own informed conversations with your care team.
If this helped, follow the show, share it with someone weighing a statin decision, and leave a review. It genuinely helps us reach more people who need this kind of clarity.

16: Parasites, Lyme Disease & Cellcore: What Actually Heals Chronic Illness with Dr. Todd Watts
dimanche 29 mars 2026 • Durée 44:39
I'll be upfront. I walked into my first encounter with Dr. Todd Watts as a full-on skeptic.
I'm an MD. I like data. I've literally told vendors at conference booths, hey, I'm not buying anything, fair warning. That's just who I am.
But I remember standing in that conference room years ago watching Todd present on parasites, a topic I had barely touched in fifteen years of conventional practice, and something just landed. I thought, that guy is solid. Something genuine is happening there. I didn't know much about him at all, but I trusted him.
That was the beginning of a journey I didn't see coming.
Dr. Watts is the co-founder of Cellcore Biosciences, a supplement company built around supporting the body's detox pathways starting at the cellular level. He came to this work through a second career, his own Lyme disease diagnosis, years of joint pain and fatigue that doctors shrugged off as normal aging, and a quiet refusal to give up on patients the way the system had given up on him.
What we talk about in this episode goes way beyond products and protocols. It's about what actually drives a practitioner. The kind of care that doesn't quit when the obvious answers run out.
Dr. Watts shares the story of a woman who came to him having twenty-five seizures a day, being carried into his clinic. She now runs one of the fastest-growing interior design businesses in the Boise valley. He talks about a family whose anxiety and mood collapse traced back to black mold consuming their entire attic. Thirty days on a binder protocol and their lives changed.
He also says something I think a lot of us in this space feel but don't always say out loud. You can't keep giving from empty. Practitioners with the biggest hearts have to be the most intentional about refueling. That one hit home for me.
And if you're a patient listening, this conversation is a window into what it feels like when a practitioner genuinely refuses to give up on you. That kind of care exists. It matters more than most people know.
Everything here is educational. These are recommendations, not diagnoses or treatments.
15. What Causes Autoimmunity? A Deep Dive into Viruses, Inflammation, and Aging with Dr. Jessica Lasky Su
Saison 1 · Épisode 16
dimanche 22 mars 2026 • Durée 01:08:55
Hey friends, what if we stopped fighting over labels and actually started treating the mechanisms behind what's making people sick? That's the question driving today's conversation with Dr. Jessica Lasky-Su from Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Here's the thing. Her team is working at the edge of some really fascinating science, genetics, epigenetics, proteomics, metabolomics, antibody profiling. And what we dig into is how long COVID research, viral exposures, and autoimmunity all connect. This isn't just academic, right? This shift in thinking could change how we approach everything from chronic fatigue to neurodegeneration.
We unpack the NIH's massive long COVID program. We're talking tens of thousands of participants, deep biospecimen collection, repeated measures over time, and patient advocates actually shaping what gets studied. The goal isn't some single tidy definition of long COVID. It's mapping out subtypes and mechanisms. Immune dysregulation, viral persistence, autonomic dysfunction, coagulation issues, mitochondrial strain. Once you define the mechanisms, drug repurposing becomes a real lever. You can match known compounds to pathways for faster trials and earlier relief for patients.
Then we zoom out a bit. Research grade antibody profiling can detect tens of thousands of potential autoantibodies, way beyond what routine panels show. Some of these signals correlate strongly with diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, hinting at early warning markers or maybe even direct roles in the disease process itself. Molecular mimicry explains how infections, especially persistent herpesviruses like HSV-1, EBV, CMV, and VZV, can trigger immune misfires that target our own tissues. It's good intentions gone wrong at the cellular level, and it's why mechanisms matter more than the names we slap on things.
We keep it practical too. Support immune balance with sleep, nutrition, movement, vitamin D optimization, stress regulation, gut health. If reactivation is suspected, talk to your clinician about antiviral strategies and stepped, mechanism aware care. This isn't hype. It's a grounded path from lab to life where functional medicine and rigorous research meet to shorten the distance between discovery and relief.
14. Part 3: Living with Chronic Lyme Disease - Resilience, Recovery, and Reclaiming Life After 7 Years of Illness | Mary Jo's Journey
Saison 1 · Épisode 15
dimanche 15 mars 2026 • Durée 53:18
What does “I feel good” mean after years of chronic Lyme and a major surgery that reshapes your body and your identity? We sit down with Mary Jo to unpack a tender, determined third chapter: living well after treatment, navigating a post-hysterectomy reality, and rebuilding confidence without ignoring limits. The result is a rare blend of practical playbooks and soul-level honesty—how to budget energy to avoid push-crash, why anti-inflammatory eating clarifies symptoms fast, and where simple modalities like sauna and cold plunges fit when you’re ready to nudge good toward great.
Mary Jo walks us through the emotional weight of sharing good news after long suffering, and the courage it takes to keep saying it. A 4,000‑foot hike becomes a turning point—part victory lap, part lesson in recovery—and a powerful metaphor for reclaiming identity after years of illness. We connect the dots between symptom patterns and daily choices: refined sugar and processed foods fueling headaches, skin flares, and joint aches; whole foods and steady protein restoring clarity and calm. Along the way, we explore coinfections, post-hysterectomy hormone shifts, and how faith and community steady the mind when data is sparse and the wellness market gets loud.
If you’re seeking a roadmap that respects your limits while expanding your possibilities, this conversation offers guardrails and green lights: one meaningful task per day, honest recovery windows, gentle movement that builds capacity, and clear, low-risk tools to test. It’s a grounded path from symptom control to genuine vitality—crafted with discernment, gratitude, and grit.

Key Insights:
One of the most important things Leah shared in this conversation is that nutraceuticals are a subset of dietary supplements, but not every supplement qualifies. A true nutraceutical is formulated with therapeutic intent, meaning the doses actually align with clinical research, the raw materials are verified for quality, and the company can show its work. If a product's website can't point you to peer-reviewed references, that tells you something.
We also talked about what happens when manufacturing standards slip, and it happens more than people realize. Leah has watched companies that once held themselves to high standards quietly shift their formulations after rapid growth, cutting corners on raw material quality in ways that aren't visible on the label. One example she gave hit home for me: switching from methylfolate to folic acid in a B-complex formula.

One of the most grounding moments in this conversation is when Luigi reflects on peptides. He'd heard about a certain compound being pushed by influencers for fat loss, but the more he dug into it, the more uncomfortable he got with the sourcing, the lack of testing, and the money behind the recommendations. Dr. Mark validates that gut feeling. When you can't test for a need, can't verify the source, and there's money being made by the people recommending it, skepticism is the smart response, not ignorance.
The real through-line of this episode is something Luigi landed on himself: the law of equivalent exchange. If you want the result, you have to put in what it actually costs. Better sleep, real food, consistent movement, stress you actually manage rather than suppress. Those aren't boring backup plans. They're the foundation everything else has to sit on.

Self-awareness is a root cause tool. Whether it's alcohol, doom scrolling, or emotional eating, we all self-medicate with something. The question Dr. Su keeps coming back to is: does this serve you? That one question can change everything.
IN THIS EPISODE
Dr. Su and MaryJo talk about what it's actually like to be the person not drinking in a room full of people who are. They talk about the social pressure, the curious questions, the moments of clarity, and what it feels like to show up for your life completely present. MaryJo shares what ten years of sobriety has taught her, including watching her sister walk through a serious substance struggle and come out the other side into a life that is, as MaryJo puts it, fruitful and beautiful in ways she never could have imagined.
Dr. Su connects it all to the bigger picture of root cause medicine, the idea that our emotional and behavioral health is just as important as our physical health. A patient who is depressed enough doesn't care about treating their labs. Mental and emotional health comes first. Always.
This one is worth a listen, and probably worth sharing with someone you love.
