Environmental Toxins, Mystery Illnesses + My Personal Test Results | Dr. Kelly McCann

252: In this episode, I sit down with my own doctor, Dr. Kelly McCann, to go over some of my recent test results and the detox protocols I’m doing to prep my body for pregnancy. We talk about glyphosate, mold, and other environmental toxins—and most importantly, what you can actually do about them.

Dr. McCann is a total expert in helping people uncover mystery illnesses, like MCAS and hidden infections, especially when conventional doctors come up short. If you’ve been feeling off and haven’t found answers yet, I hope this episode gives you some clarity, hope, and actionable steps to feel better.

Topics Discussed: 

• What are the symptoms of glyphosate exposure and how can you detox from it?

• How do environmental toxins like mold and “forever chemicals” impact fertility and overall health?

• What is MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and how is it diagnosed and treated?

• What kind of functional medicine testing can uncover hidden infections or chronic illness?

• How can you reduce your toxic load at home and support your body’s natural detox pathways?
