Millions of people are struggling with chronic illness—debilitating fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and strange symptoms that leave them feeling frustrated and dismissed. Despite countless tests and visits to specialists, they’re told everything is “normal” or blamed for stress, aging, or anxiety.
In his TED Talk, Dr. Michael Bauerschmidt, founder of Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center, shares the powerful story of a man who became physically disabled after sweeping out a moldy wine cellar. Within four days, he couldn’t feed or dress himself. A dozen specialists couldn’t find anything wrong. He was prescribed antidepressants.
But when he came to Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center, we took a different approach—we searched for the root cause.
Environmental Toxins: The Hidden Drivers of Modern Disease
Our world has changed. So have our bodies.
The Industrial Revolution brought progress—and pollutants. Since then, we’ve been bombarded with:
-
Processed food
-
Environmental toxins
-
Chronic stress
-
Indoor air pollution
Today, millions are suffering from mold exposure symptoms, brain fog, chronic fatigue, and inflammation-related illnesses—and being told everything is “fine.”
At Deeper Healing, we don’t chase labels. We investigate root causes using advanced lab testing and personalized protocols rooted in functional and environmental medicine.
What Happened When We Treated the Root Cause
-
Week 4: He could dress and feed himself
-
Week 6: He was walking with crutches and swimming
-
Week 12: He was back at work—in a mold-free job
He didn’t need another prescription. He needed a deeper look.
We supported his recovery using therapies like:
-
Mold and mycotoxin detox
-
Ozone
- UBV
-
Nutritional IV Therapy
-
Infrared sauna with binder support
-
Targeted supplementation based on labs
This is exactly what we do every day at Deeper Healing. We’ve helped thousands of patients recover from mystery illnesses by removing toxic exposures, supporting detox pathways, and rebuilding health from the inside out.

Why Conventional Medicine Misses the Mark
Most physicians are trained to identify and treat acute illnesses—broken bones, infections, heart attacks. But today’s chronic diseases are driven by new factors that often go unrecognized: mold, chemicals, poor air quality, inflammatory foods, and stress.
Functional and environmental medicine asks a better question:
Why is the body breaking down?
Instead of masking symptoms, we look for the underlying disruptions and remove what’s interfering with the body’s ability to heal.
What You Can Do Right Now to Start Healing
Dr. B’s TED Talk outlines several simple steps to reduce your toxic burden and start feeling better:
