  • Low White Blood Cell Count? This Might Be the Real Cause (Mold, Metals, Environmental Pollutants)
    Jul 9 2025
    Is Mold or Metal the Cause of Low White Blood Cells?

    Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Hugh!

    Today, we’re talking about something really important—low white blood cell counts—and why you might be feeling tired, sick, or just not yourself. This episode is based on a powerful case study with a 54-year-old woman whose bloodwork revealed something shocking.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • Why your immune system may be struggling
    • How mold, heavy metals, and toxins might be secretly hurting your body
    • What tests you should do if you have low white blood cell counts
    • What CRP means—and why it matters
    • How urine testing can uncover toxic overload
    • The truth about functional medicine vs. conventional medicine

    Key Takeaways:

    🦠 Low White Blood Cell Count = Weak Immune System

    • Her count was 2.4 (way below normal)
    • Normal range: 3.5 to 10.8
    • Ideal range: 5 to 6.5

    🔥 CRP Was Very High

    • Her CRP was 18.3 (normal should be under 1)
    • This means inflammation is everywhere in her body

    🧪 Toxic Overload Found in Her Urine

    • 10 different types of mold
    • 4 heavy metals
    • 10 environmental pollutants

    💡 These toxins can:

    • Lower your white blood cells
    • Increase inflammation
    • Damage your immune system over time

    The Functional Medicine Solution

    What Dr. Hugh recommends:

    • Start with a pre-detox to support your liver and kidneys
    • Use binders to help remove toxins
    • Support your sleep and blood sugar levels
    • Follow a step-by-step, personalized plan
    • Always remember: “Where there’s help, there’s hope.”

    https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/revealed-why-i-give-clients-50-off-all-supplements

    Episode Title: How I Help My Clients Save Money on the Best Supplements

    In this episode, Dr. Hickman breaks down an easy way for clients to save money on high-quality supplements—especially those from Quicksilver Scientific.

    You’ll learn how most clients use a service called Fullscript (kind of like Amazon, but for supplements). While Fullscript gives a nice 35% discount, there’s still a middleman markup built in.

    But here’s the inside scoop:
    Dr. Hickman now offers a direct-buy option from Quicksilver, cutting out that middleman and giving you even bigger savings.

    Here’s what you’ll discover:

    • What Fullscript is and how it works for supplement orders
    • Why Quicksilver products are Dr. Hickman’s top choice for real clinical results
    • How much you actually save when you go direct (spoiler: sometimes $80–$100 per order!)
    • A simple flat $40 admin fee that unlocks wholesale pricing
    • When to stick with Fullscript and when to go direct

    The bottom line:
    If you’re spending over $200 on supplements, the direct Quicksilver option could save you a lot of cash—

  • The Hormone Truth: What Every Woman Needs to Know
    Jun 20 2025
    The Truth About Bioidentical Hormones

    Podcast with Dr. Hugh Wegwerth

    https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/the-shocking-truth-about-bioidentical-hormones-and-why-women-deserve-better

    What This Episode Is About

    In today’s podcast, Dr. Hugh talks about something important that many women are confused about — bioidentical hormones.

    You’ll learn:

    • What they are
    • Why they’re safer than you’ve been told
    • How they help your brain, bones, mood, and more
    • Who should use them — and who should not

    Why Hormones Matter More Than Ever

    • Women today are living longer than ever before
    • You might spend 40% of your life in menopause!
    • Hormones like estradiol, progesterone, DHEA, and pregnenolone help keep you sharp, strong, and feeling young

    What Happens When Hormones Drop?

    Without enough hormones, women may experience:

    • Hot flashes
    • Trouble sleeping
    • Brain fog or memory problems
    • Mood swings or low mood
    • Vaginal dryness
    • Low sex drive
    • Weight gain or blood sugar issues

    The Real Difference: Natural vs Synthetic

    Natural Hormones (Bioidentical):

    • Made to match your body exactly
    • Come from plant sources
    • Fat-soluble (better for your cells)
    • Examples: Estradiol, Progesterone

    Synthetic Hormones (like Premarin and Progestins):

    • Made from horse urine or in labs
    • Water-soluble (harder for your body to use)
    • Linked to more side effects

    The 2002 Study That Scared Everyone

    • A big study in 2002 used synthetic hormones in older women
    • Most were already in menopause for 10+ years
    • Results caused fear, but data was misunderstood
    • Newer research shows starting early (perimenopause) is much safer and more helpful

    What the Science Says Now

    When taken early, even synthetic estrogen helped women:

    • Lower their risk of heart disease
    • Reduce breast cancer
    • Improve memory
    • Cut risk of diabetes
    • Prevent bone fractures

    Who Should Be Careful With Hormones?

    You may not be a good fit for hormone therapy if you:

    • Smoke
    • Have uncontrolled diabetes
    • Had blood clots or heart disease
    • Are very sedentary or have autoimmune issues

    Good News: You Can Get Started Safely

    Over-the-counter options (no prescription needed):

    • Estradiol cream
    • Progesterone cream
    • DHEA supplements
    • Pregnenolone capsules

    Only testosterone needs a doctor’s prescription.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    • What the 2002 hormone study got wrong
    • Why bioidentical hormones are different and safer
    • When to start hormone therapy
    • How to feel better, sharper, and stronger — naturally

      • Mixed it slowly
      • Used insulin syringes

      • Cleaned the area with alcohol
      • Gently inserted the needle
      • Stored the vial in the fridge after use

    • The Problem: How fluoroquinolone antibiotics (like Cipro) can “wake up” mold inside the body and make symptoms worse.

  • Are You Omega-3 Deficient? The #1 At-Home Inflammation Test Most Doctors Never Mention
    May 23 2025

    https://www.drhughwegwerth.com/post/the-omega-3-inflammation-test-you-can-do-at-home-for-55


    Episode Description
    In today’s show, I break down a quick, at-home finger-prick called the OmegaQuant Test. This simple kit measures the balance between your omega-3 “good guys” and omega-6 “bad guys.” When that balance is off, hidden inflammation can spread from your gut to your brain.

    What You’ll Learn

    • Why inflammation is the soil where disease grows
    • How the OmegaQuant Test works:
      • Checks omega-3 levels in red blood cells
      • Shows your omega-6 : omega-3 ratio
      • Flags arachidonic acid (the most fiery omega-6)
    • Real-life case study:
      • Severe heartburn, fatigue, and brain fog vanished in 6 weeks after fixing low omega-3s
    • EPA vs. DHA—who helps what?
      • EPA calms joints, organs, and blood vessels
      • DHA protects your brain and nerves

    Easy Visuals

    • Picture your cells as soft jelly donuts when omega-3s are high—flexible and clean.
    • Without them, cells turn stale and crusty, trapping toxins inside.

    Take-Home Tips

    • Aim for an omega-3 level of 10–12 % and a ratio of 3 : 1 or lower.
    • Add a high-quality fish-oil blend of EPA + DHA to hit both body and brain.

    Call to Action
    Grab the OmegaQuant Test for about $48, mail it in, and get clear numbers on your hidden inflammation. Then join me as we map out a simple plan to cool the fire and feel like yourself again!
